    Had a tree fall on my house during a wind storm on Dec 23,2022. Called Norato & Ken came out immediately. He looked at all the damage including gutter replacement & a hole on the porch ceiling where a branch went through. He looked at it all & guaranteed they could repair it all. I asked again & he told me to look at their business card, that listed gutter replacement repair, construction, etc… The workers came the next day, very kind & efficient. They were almost done & Ken had forgotten to get the ridge vents. He asked if I wanted them. I told him it was on our contract & he failed at that. Came back with cheaper vents than I had before. When I asked abt the gutters, he said they would get to it. I asked abt the porch hole & he said they didn’t do that kind of work. I told him we had discussed it & it would fall under ‘unforeseen damage & the price is variable’. Said this in front of my security camera. They left. He came back on Thursday angry, jerked the sign out of my yard, & came to ask me to withdraw from the ‘agreement’. I told him it was a co tract, not an agreement & I would not sign it. I don’t believe he was telling Jose the truth. He sent me a txt the next week asking if I still needed gutter work & I replied ‘Yes, please. I never heard back. I called Jose to try & work it out. He even came over & I showed him the things left undone. Then I get a notice from a well respected attorney in town that they had out a lien on my home & were going to sue me for the half payment for things that weren’t completed. I got my response & documents & pics & sent them to the attorney. Ends up, no lawsuit, no payment due & the lien will be taken off my home. Ken certainly took advantage of me being a single woman that didn’t know squat. They get to lay the legal fees & I still may take them to court. Just my story with them. They do great roofing repairs but left me hanging with the rest of the mess…

    Used them to repair & paint ceiling water damage. Three weeks later, ceiling taping & paint was coming down. No response to multiple calls to office & owner . New painter said taping was painted over before it dried.

    When I called to find out if they repair or replace vinyl on metal fascia, the woman answering the phone said they did not deal with Realtors. I explained I was making the call for the seller and she would work directly with, and be paid by, the seller she repeated she didn't work with Realtors???

    Simply the best people for all your home repair needs! When I had my roof repaired, they also repaired my windows at a very reasonable price. Now I hope to have them do my siding lol!! They don’t just do roofing they do everything!

    I had a fantastic experience with Norado Roofing! From start to finish, they were incredibly prompt and professional. They arrived on time, assessed the roof, and immediately got to work. There were a couple of spots that needed to be …

    It’s rare that you find a company that stands behind their work. I appreciate Jose and his team for making sure everything is good with the work that they do. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    These guys just roofed the third house for me over the last five years. These guys run a first Class operation. Elias, the man running the crew, is a great communicator. He stayed in touch With me throughout the job, and kept me informed of everything they were doing. Any changes On materials or prices I was kept updated on. The job was finish on time even if they needed to Work over to finish. I couldn't have asked for more. You should join me and put this company on The top of your list for any roofing projects you may have.

    Norato Roofing did an excellent job on replacing my roof, very professional and hardworking group of roofers the work was done in record time (1 day). Mr Elias was very good with communicating with me as to what needed to be done and after getting 3 estimates he came in with the best quote. I looked at his company reviews and decided he was the man for the job. In addition, his crew did an excellent job on the clean up and left everything as they found it. Thank you!!

    Norato Roofing has given an excellent service to our home! I’m am beyond thrilled with the craftsmanship on the new roof! They are genuine, hardworking and superior in service to all others! I didn’t even go to anyone else for estimates bc I knew quality is priceless! And pricing was spot on!! I no longer have to come home and worry if my roof is going to hold on another day! The previous roofer did a pathetic job and Mr. Norato explained to me why my roof was failing. He calmed my fears and assured me it would be done right! I highly recommend Norato!!

  • 3 out of 5Paul MosesEdited 2 years ago

    Have been trying to get them to get back in touch for over a month to get the paint color and brand name used so I can make a match to other places on my house, nothing yet. Also, had to pick up nails to avoid flat tires around the house, and cigarette butts around the pump house. No worries, I have what I need to complete my plans to repair my house.
