California Roof Savers

We just had Dave and his crew (Forman, Jessie) re roof our multi level home. The crew showed up on the day promised 2 months prior. The crew removed all the concrete tiles and installed plywood and felt on the first day. Being a contractor myself for over 30 years, I know when a crew works well and this crew worked extremely well. Day two started much the same. We were expecting some rain so Dave had more installers arrive. We had chosen the Presidential shingles which take more time to install. By the end of the day the complete roof was shingled and ready for rain. On day three the gutters and down spouts were installed. I also want to mention that all shingles were nailed with 5 nails per. This exceeds standards. Paint was applied where needed and clean up was done. I have nothing but great thoughts about this company. It's a great feeling to know that there are contractors that do what they promise and in our case more.

California Roof Savers just replaced our roof here in Terra Linda, quickly and efficiently, in two days. Their workmanship is perfect. The roof looks great, and Dave made a point to make sure that all details were completed. Highly recommended.

Dave and his crew up in Petaluma is one thing, but others are using his license to do roofs in other areas and may not be up to his standards. One that I had do my roof a couple of years back in Foster City, got his license revoked - and now is back under CA Roof Savers license. State license board condones this kind of deceit. Do your homework.

Dave and his son Daniel repainted our house (3 stories) and refinished two large decks. They were meticulous and efficient and were able to make necessary minor repairs during the work. The outcome is awesome!!

We have worked with Dave to replace the roof on my company's building, my brothers house and just recently on my property (3 buildings). Each and every time the job was meticulously done, done within budget and left the property spotless. I can highly recommend them for for any roofing needs.

My roof was just replaced!! My previous roof was a natural cedar shake (my brother, a retired roofer did the job,years ago) and the new roof is a composite shingle. It looks beautiful and it's exactly the color that we requested. There was team of 9 people who showed up promptly at 0800 and the roof was completed at 1630 (4:30 PM for you non-military folks). Everything was cleaned up and the entire process was explained as to what they did. The shingles were nailed down with 5 nails to support severe weather (even though the Bay Area doesn't normally have that problem) and they discovered and repaired (with my permission) the dry rot. They primed the repair with primer. My home needs painting so no big deal..but us homeowners are responsible for the paint job on repairs. The owner of the company went downtown to secure the permit and spent 2 hours dealing with a head ache because the owner passed away and it's not in my name yet (my fault)...and the roofing company did not charge me for the 'extra' time that they spent downtown. Now the real big deal is that it's February and I originally planned on having the roof done last November but we had several days of rain and that backs up all of the schedules of roofers and those on the list waiting to do roofs. Plus, a roofer needs to be save and stay off of a slippery wet roof...and then there were the holidays...so we had a little delay. So no big deal right? Well this company came to my home and patched up 30 to 50 spots where leaks could occur before the big rains in November and they did not receive any monies for that....to me that is professionalism. I am a tough person to get a hold of and the owner was kind enough to agree to communicate via text when I could not speak on the phone and he held to his word. The work doesn't stop here; any problem in the future with the roof...I'm told, just call me and don't put it off. I get that. This is a small company that does what they say that they will do and doesn't rip you off financially. I'm impressed. I can say, I have a roofer.

My roof was installed in Feb 2010. There were leaky gutters, unpainted caulk, a bubble in the roof edging, and a downspout that was cut too short. 3 appointments were scheduled. The company cancelled the first 2 appointments by phone, and the 3rd was a no-show. I was finally contacted after I posted a negative review on Angies List. When they arrived, they bent over backwards to fix the problems and even cleaned out the gutters and debris left in the attic by the previous roofing company. Now, 4-1/2 years later, the front gutters are pulling away from the roof so there is daylight visible when you look up, expanding significantly after a rain so of course the gutter corners leak again. I have been very dissatisfied with the roofing and gutter work on my home. Since I don't want to deal with them again nor do I have any confidence in their work, I am hiring someone else to repair the gutters. Also, I've lost confidence in the BBB if California Roof Savers is on their honor roll.

Our experience with California Roof Savers was very positive. They restored our shake roof a few months ago. Employees were knowledgeable and efficient. A few follow-up questions and requests were responded to and taken care of in a courteous and timely manner.

Well this was a complete waste of time. We were referred to them from our real estate agent for a roofing problem on one of our properties and flew in from Chicago to get an estimate.

We wound up figuring out what the problem was. We called the office at 3pm to cancel but decided to keep the appointment so we could get an estimate to replace our gutters.

Appointment was for 7pm and we held off dinner thinking that the guy wouldn't take more than 15-20 minutes.

They were a no show. Complete waste of time.

Edit: The owner David called and left a very sincere apology on my voice mail. We had already scheduled someone else by the time we got the message. David seems like an authentic guy and probably would've given them another chance. Unfortunately we needed to move fast and just ran out of time.

On the other hand, I just received a note from another Yelper who said they experienced the very same thing.
