August Roofing & Solar

Steven C.

August roofing replaced the roof on the front of our house last week. I could not be more pleased with the service. They were timely, fast, thorough and had a very fair price.

The crew arrived on Monday, covered our air conditioner and worked all day. At the end of the day Javier, one of the superintendents inspected their work and made sure they left our driveway clean and usable.

On Tuesday they spent the entire day installing roofing and vents. They made sure everything was done to our satisfaction. Andy another supervisor made sure all work was completed and that the site was left as clean as possible.

The crew was effective, and did all the work completely, the supervisors signed off that the job was done, Chris the owner was very helpful with any questions we had before and during the installation.

This is the second time we have used August Roofing and would recommend them to anyone needing roofing or solar work.

Second time using these guys and I'm very pleased with the results. After the major rains we had earlier this year, our 30+ year old roof decided it was time to give us a wakeup call ... and that it did. Jamie from August came out within a couple of days of my phone call and gave me a fair estimate to lay down new tar paper and reset all the tiles on our second story roof. The price was about mid-range of other quotes I received.

All roofers were swamped because of the heavy rains, so they had to schedule me out about 8 weeks. There was another storm coming, so they came out and placed a temporary tarp to mitigate any further damage to our interior. About one week later, they were able to move my job up three weeks! The estimate on the job was approx 2.5 days.

The workers showed up on time every single day. Of course, that meant I couldn't sleep in but knowing that the roof over our heads was going to be fixed was worth it. As with any roofing job, expect lot of loud hammering, debris on the ground and dust in the air. They parked their trailer right up against the house so they could throw the trash straight into the trailer from the roof.

The replaced some (expected) dry rot and many broken tiles. I went up a couple of times and took a look at their work. Looked very professional. They foreman on the job had been doing this for 22 years. The entire job ended up taking four days but that was because we had a LOT of hills and valleys due to the three dormers up there. From the backyard, the roof looks great and you can hardly distinguish the new tiles mixed in with the original.

After they were done, I noticed a few oil spills on our driveway. I took photos, sent them to Chris and he sent out a professional to clean them up the following morning! How's that for service? All is good and we're very happy!

Called and left message on Monday 2/6, received return call on Tuesday afternoon 2/7, then was told they couldn't even provide an estimate until March 28th.

I am writing this about their work done about 13 months ago with strip shingles on the slope areas and 2 layer of silicone coats on the flat roof. We have not had any leaks since we moved in 2011 even during the same year we had quite heavy rain in Ventura. But last year we decided to replace the entire roof to prepare the bad weather all we had head about on the news.

Everything went well until we found the water stain on the ceiling in our small office last weekend. We climbed up and found an 11 inch size air ballon shaped bubble on the silicone coated flat roof and we thought probably it caused that leak.

A guy came out the next day. We really appreciate their quick response . After his inspection he said the bubble did nothing to do with that leak. And then he checked the strip shingles and found out it was not completely sealed and glued to the flat area. That was his first interpretation but later he mentioned it could be a preexisting problem with wall next to that piece not from their unfinished job on the shingles.

A couple of days later Chris called me and informed the repair was finished. When I mentioned the paint work needs to be done, he said he can provide some companies with our cost , also he said it could be from a problem with the wall not from their workers job like the other guy even though it happened 1 year after their whole roof replacement work even though we had never a problem.

Besides this one, there are a couple of more things I need to mention. First one, when they put the topped shingles not in the center obviously tilted to one side shows they hired unexperienced workers, not sure from labor shortages during the busiest season. After all they had to redo that.

And the other one is 2 lifted shingle pieces with pretty good size room from metal close to the wall even though Other shingles with same conditions are well attached without any space unlike these two. But again the guy who came for water leak wouldn't seem to care. He said since there is a metal underneath them, they are not attached. It looks like they didn't flatten the metal before put the shingles on them. There were some shingles not overlapped each other, but the guy said since they meet. Does that mean still they do their roles as good as the ones overlapped overtime during rainy season?

Lastly we'd like to ask If it leaks after complete whole new roof work without any leak history while living in that place, what would you think cause that? Who would you think the owner has to pay for the paint from a leak after the job?

""choose a very professional, experienced, and responsible roofing company""

Thanks for your time.

I had a great experience doing business with August Roofing. Jamie gave me the lowest quote initially for a new roof and followed up consistently. Odd that the other 2 quotes NEVER followed up at all. I asked Jamie to come back and add in the KNOWN lumber pricing to the quote so I wouldn't be surprised. His quote went up to a more reasonable price (in the middle) and I hired them. They were prompt, courteous and neat. Andy ran the job and spent time answering any questions I had. They completed the job in 4 days. The final bill was exactly to the penny of the return quote. Is was perfect timing (Nov) as we had the most rain in years and all is secure!
Thank you August Roofing!

August Roofing is one of the best roofing companies I have had the pleasure working with. Chris and his staff are super professional with great pricing and service and offer more than the average roofing company with the Solar knowledge they have. They can handle any job you throw their way no matter the size, if it's residential, commercial or just solar they are the one stop shop. I look forward to working with with the company for many years to come and if you want the right guys on your job with great pricing look no further.

What a great experience. We knew we needed to replace our roof. We weren't having problems with leaks but we've lived here for 27 years and it was just time. We dreaded it however, because roofs being installed in our neighborhood would take months to be completed. Not with August!! At the same time we replaced the roof, we replaced our heating/AC unit. We left the coordination of both to August and the other contractor (also excellent) and within four days ALL of the work was done. The guys arrived earlier than expected, clean personally, friendly, professional and worked until the job was done for the day. They cleaned up their mess before they left and didn't expect a dime until the work was done and we were happy. August is a representative of CertainTeed, our roof material. It appears that CertainTeed has some lofty service goals for their distributors and their survey of August arrived just as they finished the job. We rated them ""superiorly satisfied."" Call them. If you don't, and you use someone else, you'll be disappointed you didn't take my review seriously.

We were really happy with the work August Roofing did for us. Jamie was so professional and helpful in getting our bid done and taking us through all the steps in the paperwork to facilitate our project. Their crew did a wonderful job on our roof. It was a fair price and they did quality work. They have integrity and good roof installers. We would gladly recommend August Roofing to anyone faced with doing roof work at their property. Two thumbs up!!
