    I waited a full year before writing this review to make sure there were no leaks in my roof. My experience was frustrating. They started the work with out a permit in hand which led to a stop-work order after they removed all the shingles. This left my home exposed and I had to stop working to make multiple phone calls to get a permit aproved.

    Hey Matt, I just went into our records and looks like you have no history of work with Roofsmith! That aside, our team works diligently to ensure all documentation and paperwork is approved and filed before the start of a project. We have never dealt with a Stop Work Order because we do it correctly the first time. Also, the photo you uploaded is from a full year ago in 2025. Our team would be happy to investigate this further, please reach out to our office at (330)822-4245

    I cannot recommend this company.

    Reply from the business

    Hey there Chili Nelson, we are sorry to hear that you would not recommend us. As a past employee of Roofsmith, it saddens us to see you part ways in such a manor after so many good memories. You and your fun energy will be sorely missed, especially your mouth watering taco truck. Wish you nothing but success in all of your future endeavors! As you are not technically a past customer of Roofsmith, we would really appreciate if you could remove this google rating, thanks you -Roofsmith Family

    RoofSmith was hired to install a roof on the building where I work, and the experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. Within weeks of completion, the roof failed during the first rainfall, leaving us with leaks, as well as mounting cost and frustration. When we turned to the company for help, they dodged responsibility, offered misleading statements, and failed to deliver on the warranty we were promised. Nearly $60,000 was poured into this project, and instead of peace of mind, we’ve been left with deception and zero protection. This is not a company you can trust—look elsewhere if you value honesty and quality workmanship.

    Exercise caution! Shady tactics and faulty installation. We've had an extremely difficult time getting our roof inspected and certified per our contract, despite numerous requests. Timelines have been missed repeatedly and no clear solutions are given. On top of that, we had water damage right after the installation. Been nothing but headaches.

    TJ, Thank you for taking the time to provide us valuable feedback. Our understanding is you have been a pleasure to work with and we appreciate the opportunity.

We did respond to Tony with a little more detail and would love to speak live with any and all of the leadership at your organization.

    Consumer Alert!! Buyer beware!! This spring we hired Roofsmith to install a new roof on our building. A condition of the contract was the manufacturer would need to stop out to the job site to inspect and certify the installation in order to receive the warranty. Roofsmith never had the manufacture inspect and certify as promised. The roof leaked within a few weeks of installation. As a result, we started to increase the frequency and intensity in which we requested the roof to be properly certified. We received excuse after excuse with no action taken. We began to contact the manufacturer directly and we discovered that Roofsmith did not use the materials that we contracted to install. They pulled a classic bait and switch scam with inferior grade products. We are now in the process of litigation with Roofsmith because of their faulty workmanship, false claims and fraudelant acts. I would exercise extreme caution in dealing with this company is I have learned the principal owner has owned at least one other roofing business that is now defunct.

    Reply from the business

    Mr. Hoty, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. First, please accept our apology for the frustrations we've caused for you and your team. The leadership team at Roofsmith has been briefed on this job and would like to connect with you directly to discuss, in detail, this situation. Our goal has always been to provide your company with a great roofing system and a warranty to protect your investment. The warranty process has taken much longer than any of us would like. We have been in contact with the material manufacturer countless times over the past few months and they have finally confirmed an inspection date of 10/8/25. We apologize for this delay and hope you understand the material manufacturer must be the one to certify our work. Your roof has a number of penetrations (ie. HVAC units) and performing the work we did can be challenging. The minute we were made aware of the initial leak, our technicians were onsite and fixed that issue. Our workmanship warranty covers an item like this at no charge. To our knowledge, there have been no other leaks. We recognize there are a few concerns and we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly, discuss the situation live, and get you the roofing system and warranty you deserve. Our company, like yours, has many employees that work extremely hard to delivery a high quality service and experience. We respectfully disagree with your comments of false claims and fraudulent acts and welcome the opportunity to discuss this live with you. We take all reviews seriously and when we see a 1-star review, which is not common for Roofsmith, we must first apologize for your experience and work directly with you to resolve the situation to the best of our ability. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns. Sincerely, Roofsmith Restoration

    The verbal pricing I got for windows on the day we met was almost double what I bought the exact same Joyce windows from Larsen Lumber and I hired their recommended contractor, Matt, for install. Note that I did not call the office because I worked with my neighbor / the owner directly. I am not one to write a review, but maybe my critical, but honest review will save you some time. I’ve built multiple homes and worked with dozens on contractors. Roofsmith was an outlier. I worked with the owner Mike trying to get a quote for just about every service they offer for a new home build. Everything was standard nothing too special or difficult. I was assured to get a quote tomorrow about a dozen times. After following up weekly for 2 months I could not get a quote. I would not refer this company.

    Reply from the business

    We are so sorry to hear the you were not pleased with our service! It looks like we came out in February to quote you on some windows and siding. Unfortunately since this was a construction build those quotes do take a little more time to prepare. Additionally, we keep records of all incoming calls. I have no record of you calling into the office even once to inquire about your quote. We hope your project was a success, have a great day!

  • 1 out of 5Gear HeadEdited a year ago

    Took over 3 months to complete. Too many people getting back with you via a text system. That just generates a new random person who has no idea what's going on with your order. Can not get a hold of the one person who knows what's going on. Never sends pictures of what its going to look like. Unable to get a clear estimate of time frames. Then rushes you when they have the part finally. When workers get there they rushed my wife without answering questions. Hard to get any documentation in writing or receipts. Sent the wrong windows. Oh and double the price of their competitors. Just a terrible time with our experience. I would not recomend this company at all to anyone. Edit. I am a current customer. Apparently this is how they treat you if you do not like their services. I'd highly recomend you find a different company to deal with after you pay thousands of dollars they treat you like you dont exist. Shame on you roofsmith. Terrible customer service.

    Reply from the business

    Hi Mr. Gear Head, Our prior reply was based on an unfortunate situation we were dealing with the day you submitted your review. The name you used on the Google review did not match anything in our records. Additionally, at the time your sent your review, we were receiving "spam" reviews from fictitious customers. Unfortunately, you were lumped into those reviews. It wasn't until recently that this was brought to our attention. Please accept our sincere apologies! We do value your feedback! Would you be open to a call so we can clearly understand what happened and where we did not meet or exceed your expectations? Again our sincere apologies for this mix up. We do have your contact information, so if you are open to a call, we will have our Chief Operating Officer contact you. Thanks, Roofsmith Restoration

    Marvin and Nate did a great job installing a new roof and gutters. This is the 3rd project I've had with them and they always do a great job

  • 5 out of 5Aedan Farist2 weeks ago

    The project manager I worked with was extremely helpful! He guiding me how to work with my insurance and save, but also get the best products available. The crew was great, started my roof and finished the same day! Did a really good job keeping my garden in tact even with a whole bunch of material being ripped off. 10/10

  • 5 out of 5Eric2 weeks ago

    Very professional, and great experience. The guy in reception answered all my questions in regards to my windows and the energy saving options.

  • 5 out of 5Cory Trease2 weeks ago

    Best price out of the 3 estimates we received for windows. Delivery and installation were a couple weeks late but it was well worth the wait. The installation crew were polite, professional and knowledgeable. The windows are fantastic and the exterior trim work looks better than everything I've seen. And our salesperson Mitch was with us every step of the way. 10/10 would recommend

    From start to finish, Nate did a great job getting our roof replaced.

  • 5 out of 5Daniel Ottawaya month ago

    Aaron inherited our job and took ownership from day one. He reviewed our contract, assessed our situation, made additional recommendations and ensured the project was completed to our satisfaction. The entire Roofsmith team, Avery, Jason, Marvin, Ben, Sean, Teresa and the rest were outstanding.

  • 5 out of 5Raquel Mazur2 months ago

    Mike was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were hit by a hail storm right before we sold our house, so we were up against a very tight timeline for a new roof and siding. Mike promised he would have it done in time despite the seemingly impossible timeline, and he delivered! I can't thank him and the whole team enough. They were honest, professional, timely, and I can't recommend them enough!!

  • 5 out of 5Wine&Design2 months ago

    Aaron Hicks was awesome! He helped me with gutters, downspouts and siding. He was able to color match the downspouts to the siding color. I highly recommend this company and Aaron. He goes above and beyond; keeping you up to date throughout the process.

    Worked with Aaron Hicks. Great service, professional and on time.

  • 5 out of 5Tiffany S3 months ago

    I will never go to anyone else for my gutters. Mitch worked with me to get the best price and the job took one day. They even cleaned up after the job was done. I cant thank them enough.

  • 5 out of 5Charlie Steadman3 months ago

    Attention future customers. Please be aware some of the recent reviews that have been made are from out of town contractors attempting to bash ourselves and other local roofing companies to use as leverage at the door in an attempt to earn business after the recent storms. We are currently working with Google to have these fictitious reviews taken down. Always remember, Your Project, Is Our Passion!

  • 5 out of 5Lori Reese-Rogers3 months ago

    I’m so pleased with my new sunroom roof and how well they fixed my skylight. When they were there they told me my gutters were bad and cleaned them for me right than!! I was so happy that they pointed that out to me. I’m a new home owner and didn’t even think of that. Great service very professional!
