Through the HOA, Shaw Roofing installed a new deck surface 3 weeks ago. Sloppy-looking corners. Improper sloping leading to water pooling and discoloration. Bad job.

Outrageous bid. More than double the other two roofing companies who came to look at our issue. Make sure you shop around and don't get fleeced.

Horrible experience. Made an appointment to get an estimate. I work nights so 10am is hard on me but I was up and ready. Standing on my porch 10am sharp no one comes. Called at 11:30 got voice mail. My boyfriend called got voice mail. After …

I chose Shaw Roofing for installation of a new roof on my very old garage. Not only did they replace the roof but they replaced all the rotted soffits and fascia. I am thrilled with the results, for a fair price, and would definitely recommend them. Everyone I interacted with from Shaw Roofing were friendly and professional.

After several bids, I landed on Shaw for a new roof to my home. They were professional, friendly, and willing to promptly answer any questions I had. Above and beyond! Their crew was friendly, thoughtful and clean. I HIGHLY recommend them

Shaw Roofing was recommended by a friend who has been in the Real Estate business in the area for years. Blake maintained great communication and excellent customer service from the first contact to the end of the project. The crew showed up when expected and completed the job efficiently and professionally. The roof looks terrific and the team removed all trash and debris before leaving the site. I would highly recommend them. Thanks to Blake and his team for a job well done!

Exceptional roofing job done on my residential garage in Sugarhouse. Excellent, professional, immediately responsive, courteous, communication by Glade, the Project Manager. His workers were on time, and did a great job of "clean-up" when …

I highly recommend Abe and Ethan. This father and son team look out for the customer and are keen to explain the roofing process and the options available. You should certainly talk with them if you are in the market for a new roof.

Shaw roofing was great to work with. The whole process was fairly smooth and professional and the workmanship was solid. I had my entire roof replaced and they were fast!!! I compared 3 other roofing companies bids and this was the best. …

Shaw is the best in the business - have relied on them for several years for the most professional work - They do-it-right!

WOW - Shaw Roofing to the rescue. They removed a 116 years of roofing off my two-story house, shimmed and redecked the entire roof and then reroofed with new shingles. This was a big job and they handled it well. They used the best, state …

We called for a bid to redo the drip edge on our older home. We saw from another reviewer that they had worked with older homes, which essential for working our 1907 house. (We’ve found that some companies just don’t have the skills to work on them and when they do, it’s bad work.) Glade was very knowledgeable and helpful and finally we decided that we didn’t need to get it redone. We really appreciated the honesty. We will call them again without hesitation.

These guys do TOP QUALITY roofing, start to finish! Once they got here and bid my job, they didn't insist that a portion of my roof all had to be done at once (several other guys tried to con me into that!). They said that part was fine, …

So it was 32 years ago that I last replaced the roof on my house and I decided to NOT wait until I had a roof leak to do it. The way I proceeded was to ask friends and colleagues who recently had their roof replaced for referrals. (No sense wasting time calling for estimates from companies that advertise on TV if no one I know has used them). I narrowed it down to three companies that got positive comments and asked for estimates. Interestingly, Shaw Roofing's name came up more than once from different people whose opinions I respect. I went thru meeting with the estimators, hearing their sales pitches and putting the bids side-by-side. One was clearly a low-ball estimate that was so much below the other two that it made me uncomfortable. I figured given the importance of a roof and the fact I am planning on living here another 30 years, paying more for quality was a worth-while investment. As a side-note, I watched my office manager go through getting a new roof two years ago with a company I will not name and her experience was hellish. I learned some critical things to avoid when it came time for my re-roofing. Here is my findings and why I picked Shaw Roofing: - the crews they use had been with them for years; that told me they treat their workers fairly and they truly seemed happy (this is hot, hard work and they were impressive) - I asked if I should upgrade my single pick and rather than upselling me, they asked good questions about how long I would live in the house, what I wanted in the roof 'look', etc. Abe the owner recommended I stick with their basic recommendation (which was a lot less $$). I appreciated that honesty. - After they stripped off the old shingles, we discovered I did not have plywood underneath - and that was an unexpected surprise and expense. But Jay my estimator called, told me the bad news and here is the silver lining - they included up-front in the quote the square foot cost IF replacement was necessary. I looked at the other tw
