Del Rio Roofing Co
Company Overview
Roof, gutter, and downspout replacement services. Before founding the company in February 1988, we worked as subcontractors for well-known roofing firms. We bring over three decades of expertise to the table, we still employ a majority of our founding team. We take pride in being a Better Business Bureau member since the early 1990s.
Ignacio R. immigrated to this country at the age of 17, and he quickly became fascinated with general construction, particularly reroofing. He started out as a maintenance person at Stanford Hospital and San Mateo County. When the opportunity to own a business presented itself, Ignacio did not hesitate to become a roofing contractor.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I am a local real estate broker and have referred Ignacio to many people over the years as well as hiring him to re-roof my own home in San Carlos. He is always responsive; and he is honest and has pride in his work. I highly recommend Del Rio Roofing Co. And he is quite reasonable as well in his pricing which I appreciate.

I was never able to be in touch with them after multiple promises they would get back to me.
1st call: thank you for info, we will call you within 48 hours.
48h later - 2nd call: sorry very busy we will call you in the next 2-3 days
3d later - 3d call: voicemail.
never heard back
Business: use a calendar to take appointments instead of promising a call-back. Time will be less wasted.

I would recommend this company. The crew on my job were always on time, professional, communicative when needed, and cleaned up daily.
The office staff on the phone was always helpful. The owner is great but sometimes hard to get a hold of.
Overall, I am very happy with the work and service done.

I had a great experience with Del Rio. I found the owner polite, responsive, and accurate in his description of the job.
I checked his references. I checked more than three. The only complaint I heard was that a woman had a small dog, and the nails were not cleaned up DAILY. When I get references I prefer to find someone with a comment and hear how it was handled. All great references are a bit suspect.
Ignacio described the job being 3 days, and the clean up on the last day to me. That's just what we got. The pricing was fair and much less than another roofer. I think I contacted four roofers. It's very rare to be happy to hand over a big check like that, but we felt the job was well done.
Our roof was not a complete replacement. My understanding is you are able to put a new roof over the other.
We have a small storage building. It needs a new roof. A contractor that I've worked with quoted $900 and using spare roof shingles he already had, so it wouldn't match the roof. Eventually, he came down to $650 if we did it right away. I understand filling your schedule, but I'm not a fan of such a price difference.
Ignacio came out. Gave us a similar quote to the $650 without the run around and the shingles would match our roof. Since it was summer we were not in a hurry to have it done. No problem. We will call him when we are ready.
I recommend his business all the time.
You have to do your research, get a few quotes and check references.

Del Rio Roofing is putting a new roof on one of the buildings at my facility as I type. They were recommended by my boss' realtor son- who uses them often and so far are doing a terrific job. This is a difficult situation because the workers have to work around people coming in and out of the facility all day. They are courteous and move vehicles when they need to.
I honestly have not heard any country music blaring. There was Mexican music that I heard when one of the trucks came in but it ended when they shut the motor off in the vehicle.
Ignacio (owner) speaks perfect English as do one or two of the other workers. ALL the same workers each day. If I want an answer to a question or wonder why something is being done, I don't ask the workers. They are doing what they are told to do. If Ignacio is at another job, I simply call the office or Ignacio on his cell phone and get the situation straight in my mind.

A few months ago we had Del Rio Roofing redo our roof and install all new gutters. They came in, took off the old shingles, replaced the boards that were water damaged and then re-shingled, all for a very reasonable price. We were especially impressed with the gutters, they had a big machine where they feed the aluminum with gutters coming out the other side, so they can make the gutters to the exactly size needed, and the results were exactly what we wanted.

Del Rio Roofing was referred to me by my realtor. I had them come and give me a quote and I also got 3 other quotes. I chose Ignacio from Del Rio based on the excellent price as well as the great referrals. The roof came out beautiful and the workers were courteous and friendly. They worked efficiently and with a great deal of care when it came to cleanliness. I would definitely recommend Del Rio Roofing company to anyone that needs a new roof!!

Del Rio Roofing put a new shake roof on our newly remodeled home in Menlo Park 13 years ago and did a terrific job. We had a leak last winter due to some low hanging trees that caused the shakes to rot (oops!), and they came out to fix it for a very reasonable price. The were quick, courteous, and spoke very good English. Could it be that they only use their own crew now instead of subs? I don't know, but just felt I should leave a good review for them based on our 13 years of satisfaction with this company.

Del Rio just finished a roofing project on my home. They removed three layers of old shingles and installed a new roof and all that goes with it.
At first i was concerned about using them because of the two negative reviews here on Yelp, but his quote was competitive and i liked Ignacio, the owner, very much. He had a very straightforward manner about him and he used his own crew for all of the work, which was very important to me. No subcontracting and no day labor, not even for the tearoff!
I checked with my realtor connections and they all gave him a five star rating. I asked him about the negative reviews and let me just say here that there are two sides to their stories.
I could not be more pleased with the job - his crew was courteous, clean and FAST!! Even my neighbors were impressed and they've all asked for his name for future reference should any of them need roof work. Please do not let those few negative reviews turn you off.

I had Del Rio put a new roof on my house. They were fast, inexpensive, and friendly, and their estimate was spot on. Of course, I won't know until the rainy season how the roof holds up, but the inspector signed off with no problems. They were also very good about working around other workmen who were at the house while they were there.
