    The work was completed. I happened to look up and saw some work very poorly completed. They did come back and correct but I'm old and if I hadn't got up and checked the roof I may have had leak problems. I felt for 20000 plus dollars the job should have been finished. Need to check their work

    I hired RoofSmart roughly three years ago for a complete tear-off and replacement project, including gutters and downspouts, after a major leak sprang in my living room ceiling. I found their pricing to be on the higher end but they also came with exemplary reviews, so I hired them and assumed the results would be worth the investment. Not so much. Today, I had someone from another company come out to assess a few concerns—sagging gutters, lifted shingles, leaking downspouts—that shouldn’t have cropped up with a basically brand new roofing system. While he was taking photos of the problem areas, he noticed that there were several spots where flashing wasn’t installed at all, including two gaping holes, gutters installed incorrectly that have now led to ice dam damage, a number of completely broken shingles, and uneven/battered aprons that appear to be either the old ones that *should* have been replaced or new ones that were installed wrong and were damaged in the process. I won’t do business with RoofSmart again because the company owner is unprofessional and treated me like an idiot (I’m a single mom in the position of having to hire ego-driven men who bet on my lack of industry expertise to screw me over when they work on my house). An example: when I contacted him after the job was done about some repair work that needed to happen to address a mistake his crew made, and expressed concerns about the impact on my warranty, he replied: “The warranty all boils down to how much you care about the integrity of your name and your company and how much your are willing to do/put up with to uphold the name of the business.” He was essentially suggesting that he felt he was “putting up with” my concerns in order to achieve a resolution. Classy. So, I’m now in the position of paying someone else—AGAIN—to fix their costly mistakes. Highly disappointing, but also a huge financial burden for me. I’d leave zero stars if possible.

  • 3 out of 5Kevin BuckmanEdited a month ago

    Revision: I'm bumping it up to 3 stars. The initial experience had its problems and gave me concerns. After I discovered a leak recently, Dave and Cesar were very quick to help diagnose it and confirmed the cause was someone else's work that I had done. The quote they gave me was also reasonable if I needed it, but thankfully the other vendor took care of the damaged flashing. Original review: Initially, the experience went very well. After the storms in March and all my neighbors getting their roofs looked at, I decided I should have my newer one still looked at. They found enough damage, got insurance to cover a full replacement. It took a little bit of time, but they did the job well, fixed any other damage caused, etc. I also had some siding damage. Again, they were great to work with initially. They found as close a replacement as possible and we first did a partial replacement. It took a while to get to that point and it doesn't match due to age (not their fault) and it was suggested we look at what a full replacement would be and see what insurance can do. They've ghosted me since. I've tried following up several times with RoofSmart as they said they would work with insurance. I can't get a response from anyone and it leaves me some concern that if I ever have problems with the roof, even with their guarantees, they'll be hard to get ahold of. First impressions were great, but recent lack of interaction makes it hard to recommend them. Edited: Reduced another star as today, I had someone look at my dryer vent. RoofSmart had left a screen on during installation that was too restrictive for the dryer and it was clogged with lint. I never had a problem prior to the roof replacement. So that was another $170 out of pocket to fix something that I shouldn't have had to do.

    RoofSmart has crew that worked very hard, got the whole roof done in ONE day, and cleaned up afterwards to make it look like nothing had taken place at all!! They even replaced my artificial flowers in perfect position! Everyone was very personable, polite, and professional, too!

    Fantastic work! We love our new siding and gutters, and downspouts. Can't say enough about how great this experience was. They took care of everything and even added extra supplies, along with fixing some of our damaged roof all without adding to the original cost estimate. You could always contact the owner (Dave) for questions even when not onsite. The crew was friendly and hardworking. If I ever need anything done again here or at a future house, I WILL BE CALLING ROOFSMART! Thanks Dave and crew!

    Dave and his team are what the contracting industry needs from over communicating, being on time and showing up and doing the work right the first time. Dave came highly recommended to us and he went and above and beyond my expectations.
