STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY: They did not contact me regarding the quality or color of the roof before installing it. Got home from vacation and it was the wrong color and wrong type of material. Unprofessional and they won't give me my money back. Will report JBS Roofing to the ROC for poor communication, contract and poor quality.

We selected JBS Roofing last May after having 10 other contractors come out, and give us a quote for a new roof. JBS Roofing was not the cheapest of the 10, but they took the time to explain things in every detail. We were told that this would take 4-5 days to complete. It did not. More like 15 days before all of our issues were somewhat straightened out. As it turns out selecting JBS Roofing was the worst decision we ever made, I guess we fell for the sales pitch. Everything seemed to be going fine on day one, and day two as they removed the old roof. On day three no one even showed up, because apparently the equipment to load the new tiles onto the roof was unavailable. We were not informed of this until the following day. No phone call, no text. On the 4th day, on the back side of the roof where it meets the patio, they decided that they would stop one row short with the tile of the roof meeting the patio. What employee thought "hey that looks OK"??? (see pictures) After speaking with the supervisor, they added another row of tile so that it met with where it joined the patio. Also on the fourth day the heavy equipment that they used to load the tiles on the roof put a crack in our driveway. We spoke to the supervisor, and he agreed to get that fixed. The cement company (Blue Steel Builders) came out, and replaced the entire slab of the driveway. We have a texture pattern on our driveway which they tried to match, and the color is so far off, it's unbelievable. Literally like night and day (see pics)... again what employee thought "hey that looks good)??? It's not even a close match. They used chocolate brown when our driveway is sand colored. The cement company has come out several times to try to make it match to no avail, and eventually ghosted us by not returning my phone calls. In hindsight , I would rather have the cracked driveway then this comedic joke of what they call a fix. We should have never asked for the repair On the fifth day , while we we

Hi Scott, We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share these details. I personally reviewed your file and spoke with the team regarding your project. From our records, the roof itself has held up through multiple storms, and we’re glad to know that portion of the work continues to perform well. Regarding the driveway, the damage was caused by the material supplier’s loading equipment — a company we hired and who accepted full responsibility for the repair. While they replaced the slab, I completely understand your frustration with the color mismatch and lack of follow-up from their end. This is not the level of service we expect from any of our partners. I’ll be reaching out to the supplier directly to ensure your concerns are addressed and the issue is brought to a proper resolution. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention — we value your feedback and the opportunity to make things right. — Valorie Brown-Miller, President

I call them to set a estimate and told them not to bother my wife to call me and that was not put in the notes . Then they just don't bother telling you that they are not going to give you service they just keep telling you that they will have the guy call you so very bad service over all.
Reply from the business
Mr. Guerra, I am sorry we failed to note the record to not knock on the door and your wife was disturbed. Based on your reactions and behavior to multiple staff members I made the decision to not provide you with an estimate and that we would not be doing business with you. We recognize that we are not the best fit for everyone and wish you the best in finding a roofing company that fits your needs. Respectfully, Valorie Brown-Miller

Gary came out to give us an estimate on repairing our patio and storage room. Another company was there at the same time. Gary went and checked the damage. He never came to the door to let me know if he could do it or give me an estimate. I didn't even know that he left. I called the company to see what was going on. He did call me with the remark about having other companies being there. I didn't know you weren't suppose to get other estimate. He did send me a quote but if that is how they do business I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I even contacted the insurance company because they are the ones who recommended them. Very disappointing.

Mr. Biundini, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I normally don't reply to these and let our reviews speak for themselves but I feel it is important to lay out the facts. JBS Roofing was on a tight time line to complete your large roofing project on your VRBO home within your time frame. Work was started in July during Monsoon and we lost two production days due to rain. We have worked with Western States Roofing Consultants on multiple projects and I am confident that your statement is false in regards to Larry Conrad's personal remarks about JBS Roofing. The report from the roof consultant listed SIX (6) minor issues. JBS corrected all six items and provided you with pictures of the corrections after completion. I would encourage anyone seeking the truth to contact Mr. Conrad at Western States Roofing Consultants for his experience with both JBS Roofing and Mr. Biundini. In regards to the nails you suggested that we left on the ground, we need to be aware of deficiencies and given the opportunity to correct them, unfortunately not everyone is honest so we have to have more than an email from the owner requesting a $600 discount because his landscaper had to pick up our nails. Also not mentioned is that you had multiple trades working at the same time because you were in a time crunch before the next renters were scheduled to stay in your VRBO home. I am not sure if you were sent the pictures of the demolition debris piled on the side of your home from the bathroom remodel alone. Those trades filled our dumpster three times and a $425 change order is not out of line, one roll off dumpster cost that amount. Lastly, If you look at your contract, specifically the "extra wood charge" form, you received a large discount for the 190 linear feet of 2x4 wood that was needed to change the tile profile. I am sorry that we fell short of your expectations and your suggestions on how we can improve will be noted and taken seriously. Respectfully, Valorie B

Hi Selena, I apologize for the inconvenience and not being able to provide the work you were hoping to have performed. Roofing contractors are governed by the Registrar of Contractors and we must be able to provide a minimum two year workmanship warranty on all work performed. If the roofing system is failing and needs to be replaced we ethically will not provide a repair even if the seller and buyer both agree. When this situation occurs we recommend hiring a someone who is not licensed by the Registrar of Contractors such as a handyman. We do have a dedicated service department that only does small repairs. I appreciate your feedback and again apologize for the inconvenience.

In the past, I collaborated with JBS Roofing for repairs, and I have now engaged their services for a roof replacement. The level of professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail is what one should anticipate from a reputable business. From the office personnel to the installers and the final inspection, everything was top-notch. Aside from the amazing new roof, there was no evidence that they had been on the property. They left no mess, which is crucial for me as I have a dog and want to ensure her safety. I appreciate all of your assistance!

This is truly the best roofing company I have ever worked with. We were grandfathered into a warranty from the prior owner. Every time we have called them for something they have responded and come right out to fix what's covered under the warranty. Their customer service is excellent and they really care about their customers. I would highly recommend them because their support even after the work is done continues to be top notch!

Besides our own home, my husband and I own a couple of investment properties. We were on the verge of purchasing a duplex that was occupied by tenants. The seller had told us that the roof was new. We hired a home inspector who saw some concerns with the roof & suggested we call in a roofer. We asked him if he recommended anyone, without hesitation he said, "JBS." I made the call & on time, a very pleasant gentleman arrived, listened to my husband concerns, pulled his ladder off his truck and up on the roof he went, husband in tow! We couldn't have been any more pleased with the thoroughness & understanding of not only flat roofs that are coated, flat roofs that are foam & Any concoction thereof~ as well as, the additional aspects of this buildings roof that were tiled. We feel this company really hit the jackpot by hiring Mark~ his understanding of roofs ( We spoke to ✌️other roofing companies & they didn't come close to the revealing multitude of issues with this roofs system as the JBS representative did) The time he took to investigate & discuss "free of charge" was outstanding. We've been praying for years to find a reputable, reliable & know roofs roofing company & by golly ~ I think we found them!!! Thank you, again Mark ⭐

Wow—thank you so much for this incredible review! It truly means a lot that you took the time to share your experience in such detail. We’re especially grateful for the trust you placed in us during such an important decision. Purchasing an investment property—especially one with tenants—comes with a lot of moving parts, and having clear, honest information about the roof is critical. We’re so glad Mark was able to provide that level of insight and help you feel confident moving forward. Mark is a huge asset to our team, and we couldn’t agree more—his knowledge across all types of roofing systems (from coated and foam flat roofs to tile) and his willingness to take the time to thoroughly explain everything is exactly what we strive for at JBS. Your kind words about our honesty, thoroughness, and willingness to help—even at no charge—mean the world to us. That’s exactly the experience we aim to provide every customer. Thank you again for your trust, your prayers, and for choosing JBS Roofing. We’re here for you anytime you need us! – Valorie Brown & The JBS Roofing Team 🏠🔨 #since1982
