  • 1 out of 5Michelle Kempa week ago

    Very disappointed. Signed contract with company 4/2021. They didn’t get to it till 10/2021 and did some of installation after dark using lights. About a year later 11/2022, I had my first leak. They did come out and repaired it. Then last year 11/2025 - 2/2026 the roof leaked in 8 more spots, all on different parts of the house. I tried calling and left massages 4 times plus sent a letter with pictures. They have totally ghosted me. No response of any kind. They were paid almost 20,000 dollars for a roof that only lasted 4 years,

    This company is a SCAM. I had work done in 2022 (siding and roof) and they had to come back multiple times, still have not finished the job, and have stopped answering calls/messages all together. Save yourself the headache of getting a …

    I wouldn’t recommend this company to ANYONE, even in desperation. If I could leave zero stars I would. I had my roof and siding done end of 2022. Since then I had two major issues as a result; the first being the bathroom exhaust was never …

    Hailey, we understand your anger and frustration and sorry you had these issues. Once brought to our attention we quickly responded to repair the vents in question and inspect for any additional damage or potential issues. We also met on site with the Oakdale building inspector to ensure compliance. Whether you believe it or not we stand by our work to correct or repair installation issues or problems that arise. We constantly work to maintain high a quality and will do what is right to correct any shortcomings. In this instance it was a vent repair which did not cause any additional damage to the property or appliance(s) to warrant a reimbursement of any kind. To clarify, Greg, is not the owner. Please contact our office if you have any additional questions or concerns. Thank you.

    A guy from this company came to my door unsolicited in early 2024. He told my wife he'd visited previously and, finding no one home, poked around our property and found serious storm damage to our roofs. …

    We have no soliciting signs all over our front door.....we have 3 of them. Some jerk from this company decided to come ring the bell. Yes, we need a new roof. No, we will not be using you.

    We are sorry for the inconvenience. We will speak with the team.

  • 1 out of 5Paul Liddya year ago

    I had my roof installed in December 2023. Fast forward to July 2024, and while a contractor was up there installing shutters, we discovered some quality issues. It took Preferred two trips to fix it (photos attached for your viewing pleasure). Then, during the August storms, I woke up to a surprise indoor "drip drip" (leak). They promised to “make it right” and fix the ceiling damage. They came out and initially tried to blame my chimney (which had not caused issues before the roof was installed). After some pushback, they spent 1-2 hours fixing the roof. But when I followed up about the ceiling damage, I was ghosted. This whole process was a customer service horror story. Multiple follow-ups were needed to get the initial job done (both siding and roof), and then the warranty claims were another saga. If you’re looking to repair storm damage, proceed with caution. The person in the nice truck won’t be there to translate between you and the Spanish-speaking contractors. And no matter who you choose, make sure someone checks your roof for quality issues afterward.

    After a storm in 2021, this company knocked on our door and offered to see if we had damage and help submit a claim. We ultimately qualified for roof repairs, a garage door, and some siding and gutter replacement. We decided to pay extra to replace the rest of the siding, gutters, soffits and facia. The garage door installer came first and was fantastic. The company did not warn us before delivering materials for the project. They just showed up about 2 months after we got the estimate and dumped the materials in our front yard. They wrecked some holiday decorations we had out there that we would have moved had we known they were coming. The roofers were extremely messy and we are still finding nails 2 years later. They also left garbage all over the yard rather than throwing it away (coffee cups, etc.). Additionally, the shingles do not lay flat at the edge of the roof. The siding guys were awful. They left several areas of our house unfinished the water spigots on the outside of the house were unusable due to how they installed the siding. Also, they did it when it was incredibly cold outside so the metal edging was warped. We had a "punch list" a mile long that they needed to completed. We withheld final payment until they were done but they would call us and ask us to pay and we'd tell them they still hadn't completed the job. They'd send someone out, we'd show them what needed to be done, then the person would never come back. A few months later, they'd ask for payment and we'd repeat the process. It took nearly two years of back and forth with them before they finally finished the job. When they finally finished, they sent the invoice and I sent a check to the address on the invoice. They called a month or so later and asked where the check was. I told them I sent it to the address on the invoice and they said that wasn't the correct address. The check finally came back return to sender and they gave me the correct address, but it was one more ridiculous thi

    Andrea, Thank you for the feedback. I certainly understand the frustration with how the project went for you and Adam. I do want to say I appreciate you and Adam working with me to allow us to complete what was started. I know it does not help you but since I started here in November 2022 we have refined our processes and communication to mitigate these type of situations from occurring. Regards, Greg

  • 4 out of 5Rachel Walder11 months ago

    We liked working with Aaron Delgado but the roofing company was not very good. They had to come back out a few times to fix the shingles so that’s why we cannot give 5 stars. Aaron was great and very responsive to calls and texts.

  • 5 out of 5Madalyn Hunta year ago

    We had a fantastic experience working with Preferred Contracting to have our house painted. From start to finish, they made the process smooth and stress-free. They helped us navigate the insurance process, found a reliable and skilled painter, and ensured that the work was done to a high standard. Their communication was excellent throughout—keeping us informed every step of the way and promptly answering any questions we had, even after the work was completed. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality really stood out. We highly recommend Preferred Contracting and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

    I think this company is the best! I have already recommended to multiple friends and family before the roof was completed 50% leas than the competition. With somehow receiving the best customer service EVER.
