David and his crew were very professional. He understood my need and answered all questions. He was monitoring the weather and scheduled accordingly. On the installation day, they were on time and took care from setting up to cleaning after the work was complete. I would recommend and refer David to friends and family. Nice work. Thank you!

The Roof Doctor crew cleaned and repaired my tile roof. The price is reasonable, the scheduling process smooth, and the workmanship superior. The workers began early in the morning, worked late into the day, and cleaned up all the debris. They were courteous and friendly, respectful of our property and did an excellent job. I highly recommend The Roof Doctor.

They are great! I always know I can count on them! My family has used them for years, starting with my Grandparents. I know that I can get my warranty and that they will still be here in business if I ever have to use it before it expires in 30 years!

Getting a new roof is not only stressful but expensive. The roof doctor was the calm in the storm. They provided a great estimate, they communicated perfectly and then performed the work flawless. They were on time, walked us through the repairs we needed and then re roofed the house all in 8 hours! They could see the issues we had prior to getting on the roof and now it is day and night with the new roof! Use the roof doctor I could not be happier with the work, price and professionalism!

The Roof Doctor did a great job on my roof. I'm very pleased with the result. The communication was a little sparse prior to them showing up to roof the house, but it's been a busy season for roofing. Once they arrived, they got right to work, did a beautiful job, and I love the way the house looks! One small critique I would give is that I followed up with a question a few weeks later and have yet to get a call back on it. I ended up resolving the issue on my own, so it is not relevant now, but was a little disappointed in the lack of communication from the admin team.

They roofed my house 4 years ago. I shopped around and got multiple bids for the job before I picked them. They had the best price and I was very happy with the work they did. Last month, I contacted them to put a new roof on my garage. This time I never called any other roofer because the bid for the garage was what I expected it would be and I knew I could trust this company.

Our roof was leaking and contacted The Roof Doctor to fix it. They arrived on time, followed all safety measures, worked fast and clean.They showed me where the main problem was and explained to me why the roof was leaking and how they were gonna fix it. We are very satisfied with their work and will have them in mind for any other repair we may need in the future.

A friend referred us to Roof Doctor and we couldn't be happier. The team was here on time, worked throughout the day, was careful to keep the noise down, they were professional, thorough, and polite. They left things even cleaner than when they arrived and our new roof is already lowering out power / heating bills this winter. :) I highly recommend the Roof Doctor for your roofing and gutter needs.

I just had to give a shout out to the Roof Doctor. We didn't have the money to replace our roof until this year, and he helped keep us dry until we could. When he finally couldn't do much more, he was honest and very nice about it...frankly, I think we were tough customers and he did his best by us. Unlike the other reviewer, I found Roof Dr's prices very reasonable for the care, service and quality. Frankly, we found his prices competitive. And it's our primary residence, so we care about quality. I recommend him highly and hope he sees this review so he knows how much his work was appreciated!
