    After the completion of our roof, the owner and his VPs attempted to overcharge and reduce the warranty on invoices incorrectly. While the sales representative Justin Fehr and Project Manager Josh Schaber were awesome, the owner and his …

    ORIGINAL REVIEW (prior to husband being terminated from our company) ! River City Roofing did an excellent job on our new roof and gutters! We had significant water damage that required new wood on half of our home and it was installed flawlessly. From our salesman to our project manager, everything was professional and done with quality. River City Roofing is truly a company that cares about your home as if it were their own. Thank you for the fantastic review, Dani! We're thrilled to hear that you are pleased with the work we did on your roof and gutters. Our team takes pride in delivering quality service and caring for our customers' homes. Your feedback means a lot to us!

    A couple years ago I had Connor come out and look at my roof. He told me he would be able to help me after I had hail damage and received a claim from my insurance. Connor was never able to provide a proper estimate to the insurance …

    Guy showed up unannounced one day and dumped a bunch of materials in my yard. Three weeks later, a different guy pulls into my driveway and starts picking up all that material so I went outside and asked why. He thought my roof had …

    Karen, we are very sorry you feel this way, but we were told by your father he was handling all communications and not to even speak with you, never had a phone number for you and never had a text from you, so this made some of these issues you mentioned very tough to avoid! Please let us know if the grass has not grown back and we will gladly pay for those repairs!

    Had the misfortune of being behind two River City employees in the drive thru today. They were disrespectful, incompetent, and caused delays for everyone else during the lunch rush. When employees are wearing company t-shirts, they should be representing that company well, not making everything harder for the people around them

  • 1 out of 5Martha SchmittEdited 2 years ago

    Had shingles falling off in several places after several days. Apparently the installers forgot to put up flashing. Also did not replace the flashing around my chimney, or to paint the stack. Took multiple employees, and several trips to my house before the job was complete. On one of the trips back to correct the many issues they left my gate open and my dog got out. Spoke many times with the owner's wife before I could actually speak with the owner. I would not recommend. 12/23 update. I rec a Christmas card from river city asking for reviews.

    My experience was great from start to finish. I called to get a hail inspection and Brandon did an exceptional job in inspecting my roof and explaining to me everything that he found. He was a great help with my insurance to get it replaced. The install went smooth and they did a great job cleaning up after. I will use river city roofing again in the future. The roof looks amazing. If you call definitely ask for Brandon.

    Brandon from River City arrived at my house quickly to cover our damaged roof to prevent further ceiling damage. We are so thankful! 💞💞💞💞

    We are sorry Mother Nature showed up in this way yesterday, but glad we could get Brandon there quickly to help stop the current rains from further damages. Thank you for taking the time in your stressful day of clean up to leave this review for others to see how we respond when called. We will get your roof back on asap! RCRC

    So Brandon came to my house for a second opinion for my storm damage because my insurance company is becoming a problem my first contractor dropped the ball and now I gotta fight going on ...Brandon gave me an honest assessment on how to proceed and I am confident things will go better.....

  • 5 out of 5Madrigals2 weeks ago

    My entire experience with River City Roofing was great. In just a little over 3 weeks, we went from initial inspection, to a complete roof replacement. The installation team did a great job. They removed the old roof and installed the new roof within one day. Ryan in particular has been extremely helpful and is very knowledgeable. I’ve texted him many times with different questions and concerns throughout the process and he always responded in a timely manner with an answer. Our new roof turned out great and we rest a little easier knowing we have a 25 year material and workmanship warranty on our new roof (GAF complete roofing system). I highly recommend River City Roofing to anyone needing assistance with a roof replacement.

    Great company, we would highly recommend River City Roofing. Our neighbor used RCR on their roof & recommended them to us. We are very thankful for that recommendation. Ryan, Conner, Josh, Zack & and ALL your workers are top notch. Great company, thank you.

  • 5 out of 5Derrick Knight2 months ago

    In 2019 I had River City Roofing replace my old roof and they did an excellent job! In Spring 2026, after a severe Thunderstorm one of my shingles blew off. This displaced shingle happened in the area of my roof which was expected where my previous roof leaked. Within, 48 hours they had a technician come to my house to assess the matter and that day reattached the shingle to my office. This is really impressive because some companies think some jobs are too small for them. Not River City Roofing!. Thank you for the great customer service.
