    There was no communication that our roof installation would result in exposing bare wood above our gutter line. Our customer service experience was extremely uncomfortable. We would not recommend James Elliott Roofing and are not satisfied with the end result.

    Poor quality work, poor communication. Would not recommend

    The flat roof replaced July 2020 is leaking and holding water between the slope of the garage roof and the edge of the flat roof membrane. James Elliott was notified, sent someone out to take pictures, then determined the issue is not a defect in installation or workmanship, but rather due to wind damage. An insurance adjuster and additional roofing contractor have both said there is no wind damage and the issue is installation, to include lack of membrane adhesive and step flashing not being torn off and reinstalled properly. In the meantime, James Elliott has refused to do anything to remedy the problem except to quote new work for a repair that I'm not sure I have any confidence in. If you do business with this company, buyer beware and insist on a warranty for materials and work performed. Sadly, they were the more expensive of 4 quotes I got and at the time believed they were the better company.

    Roof installation. Skylight was not step flashed as required. Caused a leak that damaged my ceiling severely. $1,000 in damages. Called to get it resolved. I have pics of before, during, and after roof install. …

    James Elliott himself is very nice, he acted quickly when our flat roof was leaking. Unfortunately the leaking resumed within 2 years. The timeline: • 2015: flat roof replaced • 2017: leak resumes. Gutter repaired thinking this may be the problem • 2018: slow leaking persists • May 2019: dimensional shingles replaced to fix the leak as per James Elliott’s recommendation. • June 2019: leaks are worse. • July 2019: foreman stops by with 2 Spanish only speaking employees and does something on the roof. No details given. • Aug 2019: failed attempt to evaluate the leak. • September 2019: more work done in an attempt to stop the leaks. The foreman cannot give details • October 2019: foreman comes again to fix the leak and it appears to stop again • Aug 2020: slow leaking resumes • November 2020– Feb 2021: multiple attempts to work with James Elliott Roofing to find a solution. • March 2021: they recommend to replace the flat roof again and replace the skylights. The person who inspected and wrote the bid was not aware that they had replaced the roof 5 to 6 years earlier. • March to August 2021: multiple exchanges with James Elliott trying to understand why the flat roof needs to be replaced so soon. o No response to questions about a warranty on the original work. o I’m told that the flat roof is not the problem, the skylights are the problem. Independent inspector finds that water is collecting between the old and new flat roofs and has been overflowing down the valleys since the beginning. If you employ James Elliott Roofing, be careful to get some sort of time limited warranty in writing. Be aware that communicating with them is difficult.

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with James Elliott Roofing! They replaced our roof, gutters, and downspouts, and the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free from start to finish. The office team was wonderful to work with, and the crew did an excellent job. Everyone was friendly, professional, and kept everything moving smoothly. We are very satisfied with the results and would absolutely recommend James Elliott Roofing to anyone looking for quality work and a company they can trust!

    It was a pleasure dealing with the owner. The service provided was exceptional and completed promptly. I would gladly work with James Elliott Roofing again.

  • 5 out of 5Dale Scholer5 months ago

    The owner James and his Field Supervisor David worked with me to get the outcome I was looking for. The crew arrived at the stated time and completed the job on time. Everything was completed to my satisfaction. I have already recommended James Elliott Roofing to a family member that is looking for a roof replacement.

  • 5 out of 5Yousef Naji6 months ago

    I can’t recommend James Elliot Roofing enough. They were worth every penny and honestly, far more reasonable and affordable than the larger roofing companies I looked into. …

    They showed up when they said they would. They had the job none in one day. They removed a dish stand from my roof for me and cleaned everything up. You couldn't tell anyone had been there, if not for the new roof.

    Thank you, Claude!

  • 5 out of 5David Schuele8 months ago

    Very pleased with James Elliott Roofing. We had the roof replaced, the chimney flashed, new gutters and facia. The crew was great, they worked hard, did a great job and completed the job in a timely manner. The job foreman (David) was very professional and on top of things, had the job running very smoothly. We wanted one contractor to do the work, not several, as most that bid the project only did certain parts of it, I would definitely recommend James Elliott Roofing to anyone in need of the services they provide.
