The driver of this vehicle was driving aggressively through Salem today. Cut me off twice as well as others, and was going roughly 50mph on River Rd which is a 35 mph. Also was on his phone at a stop light and didn't go when it was green.

It has been 5 years and I have decided to stop using this company . In Mar of 2025 I noticed an excessive amount of moss on a large portion of my home approximately 8 months after it was treated. I called an informed them about the moss and was told they would come out this time and retreat but from this point forth that I would need to sign up for the 6 month plan. They never showed up after saying they would. Well at double the cost at $2000 annually I decided to start treating the roof myself which is when I uncovered the extent of the moss growth. Note that I paid a team to remove all moss from my roof before this company started treating my roof. With the amount of moss growth on my roof I can only suspect that they only treat moss and what ever dead moss remains after chemical dissolves more and more moss continues to accumulate. At $1000 plus tips annually I suspected that I would not have a moss problem like I currently do. At $2000 annually for treatment every 6 months does not make sense financially to me. Recommend if you use this company that you thoroughly inspect the work afterwards to include the gutter cleaning service as I had problems with them not cleaning them as well.

I advise against engaging this company. Their assigned worker demonstrated significant inefficiencies, spending excessive time idling in their vehicle, resulting in incomplete roofing work within the scheduled timeframe. Furthermore, a two-week delay ensued before the job's completion. A substantial portion of the workday (over 10 hours) was dedicated solely to moss removal. Following project completion, the client was informed of a significant cost overrun exceeding the initial estimate. No prior notification of this price discrepancy was provided. This constitutes a deviation from accepted business practices.

This is Jaffet Jefferson, owner at RRC. Just wanted to publicly say that I agree with this review and that this persons views are valid. We should do a better job at making sure everyone is aware that we have the 12 month automatic warranty on all roof cleanings or maintenance jobs. When you get an estimate from us there should always be a “guarantees and Warranties” PDF attached. Thank you for your honesty sir and or mam.

I chose to pay more to use this company because of the positive reviews, I was expecting to deal with a professional company that would communicate well and simply provide what was on the estimate. Well two months after starting the job it …

Very professional and thorough. We had moss on our roof and Referred Roof Cleaning came out and did an excellent job getting rid of it. The roof looks like the moss was never even there.

I didn’t get pictures before and after roof cleaning and moss removal. Ground cleaning after removal was not completed, porch front and back doors had to be swept.

Overall a good experience and our roof looks great after the service. Our only disappointment was with the lack of communication.
- 5 out of 5Jon GuidoEdited 2 months ago
Referred Roof Cleaning did a great job of treating moss, cleaning, and inspecting my roof this week. They took the time to meet with me after their inspection to discuss the condition on my roof, including photos, which was very helpful. Thanks, Jon Guido
