The first three are Google’s own figures for General Roofing, read on 24 September 2026; the share is of every rating Google has counted, not of the review texts on this page. The median is ours — the middle figure among the Alaska roofers we list with enough ratings to compare.

Much higher than most — the typical roofer in Alaska sits at 1.8%. A higher share is a reason to read the critical reviews below, not a verdict.

Edit: Six years later and still a horrendous company with zero accountability or customer service. They replied to a six year old review with some bizarre claim about “excessive pet waste.” You guys are still a joke of a company! Owner of the company talked to me 6 years ago and agreed there was no excuse for how bad they did on this job. Not only was there no pet waste, my dog couldn’t go in the yard because of how many nails, cigarettes, plastic wrap, and other garbage they left. BEWARE, BAD COMPANY ALL AROUND! Original review: Originally they deserved zero stars, but after weeks of them not returning our calls to find out if they were done with the roof and whether they were coming back to pick up the nails left in our yard they finally did answer, so that earned them a whole star. Aside from their actual roofing work, which seemed fine, they are a messy crew all around. We had cigarettes, knee pads, plastic wrap, pieces of shingles, and an excessive amount of nails to pickup after they left. I can understand some mess considering they did most of the roof in the dark and in between days of snowfall, but I would have expected them to come back in the daytime to do a once over of our yard and attempt to leave things as they found them.

Scheduled an inspection via home warranty company, confirmed appointment time and date via the phone. Failed to show, and when called, they claimed they thought the appointment was cancelled.

Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry to hear there was confusion around the appointment. When appointments are scheduled thru a home warranty third party we rely on their communication system and sometimes detailed information doesnt transfer as clearly as we would like. We take your time seriously. We apologize for any miscomunication on our behalf if you have any concerns please feel free to reach out

I called and scheduled an appointment for a roof repair two days ago. They said they'd call when they would be on their way, I haven't heard from them since. Next. Update: They finally called me today. While they were helpful in trying to get a crew out to my house today since they had slipped up, I asked for a later show time to adjust for my work schedule on short notice. The gentlemen on the phone was talking to someone else in the background and he seemed annoyed to have to work his schedule to accommodate this issue. With a $400 minimum in Eagle River and knowing that my roof would be treated like an inconvenience to them I opted to find another company. Perhaps this is an isolated incident and they do great work, but this one was not for me.

I hired General Roofing in October, 2012 to repair my residential roof and paid a 50% deposit. They committed to get it done by mid-November but slipped the job week after week until Christmas week when it was snowing hard. They said they …

I just had some roof maintenance done at my home and wanted to share that Sandra the owner made sure I was a happy customer. Her prices are reasonable, the workers professional, and the maintenance was done right away.

The price was very reasonable, the service was fast and efficient. They actually replaced lots of damaged parts on my roof that I was unaware. They always cleaned up after the end of the day. Very responsive if I had any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend them if you need any roof work done. They are very professional.

General Roofing was right on it! Chad, the owner, gave us a competitive quote to reroof our 5300 sq ft house. His team got the job done professionally and thoroughly. They were great at protecting our plant and hedges around the perimeter of the house. I would gladly use them again. Great job!

The owners of General Roofing are great people. I was their neighbor for many years and got to know them well. They put a new roof on the building of my business and are very professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again if I was in need of any roofing needs.

General Roofing just finished putting a new roof on our house and they did a great job. They were timely, professional, and well organized. At the end of each day they did a thorough job cleaning up the roof debris, no mess left behind. I would recommend General Roofing to anyone.

- 5 out of 5Mark LaLonde6 years ago
They have been wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. They did a great job on the roof and cleaning up afterward. Communication was really good throughout the process. They went above and beyond by following up several times after the roof was done to make sure there was no leaks any longer.
