Community Roofing replaced my front door and sidelights- they were so knowledgeable about recommending a new type of door to avoid the issue I had with my previous door. My new door looks great and the installation was flawless, looks like it was built right in! Megan was very responsive with keeping me up to date on COVID supply chain delays, which was very much appreciated. Cannot recommend enough!!

We asked our friends and neighbors for their recommendations. They, to a person, thought Community was superior. After talking with Josh and discussing our concerns and preferences, we felt confident that he understood what we wanted. He also clarified a couple of issues and made what we considered valuable recommendations. We hired them. Ricardo was our project coordinator and it was present and engaged in the process. Ramon's team was assigned to our project. We found the team to be pleasant to have at work and Ramon himself was an excellent communicator. The house we bought is old and thanks

From the initial visit with the estimate and inspection to the final roof installation, our experience with Community Roofing & Restoration was outstanding! The crew showed up on time and each of the four members of the team was friendly, caring, and very professional. Their workmanship was exceptional and they left our property spotless. The building inspector who reviewed their work also stated that they went the extra mile and everything looked perfect!

Steve showed up on time to give me an estimate for a siding restoration. When he saw that the job involved restoration of 100 year old cedar siding, he told me without hesitation that his crew didnt currently have the specialist I would need for the job, and immediately gave me two excellent referrals to skilled specialists who knew how to handle an uncommon job for a reasonable price. I dont normally leave reviews, especially for contractors who I didnt hire, but an honest knowledgeable answer and a solid referral is a rare thing, and says a lot about the integrity of the business.
