Recommended Customer Reviews

Honest, professional and very reasonable and no tricks when it comes to pricing a job. They use this service where the Satelite image of your roof gives you 100% accurate measurement of the roof and they use that to order material and calculate labor cost. I got a bid from a 5 star contractor for $30k, JL Ray bid was low $20K. When I asked them, they told me we price the job based on the measurement and not the zip code or neighborhood and charge the going rate. They did not bad mouth the other contractor, they simply said we charge for the work we do, nothing more and nothing less and our per sqft rate is like any other contractor. I then hire them for complete refacing our front exterior of our house after I found out that they are general contractor as well. See the pics by clicking on the camera icon next to Stars and you be the judge. They are well connected in OC and my job was completed according to the schedule. All permits and meeting with city inspectors and all that was also handled by them. Less headache for me to deal with. Since last year, I have recommended them to friends and family and everybody seems to be happy. The other great thing about them is that you don't see them bringing random folks off the street. All employees are on their payroll and all show up with marked trucks and J.L. Ray shirt. True one stop shop !! Thanks Joey and Jeff !!

Had our flat roof redone with new drains. Reasonable price, great communicators, and clean work! It POURED the day after we had the roof replaced and we were so happy it was finished and without leaks!

Honest, competent and reasonable. Very responsive as well. My go to roofer for an annual tuneup moved out of the area and I networked to find JL. I recommend them without reservation.

The Best...I refer people to them all the time...........the best quality and customer service....always............

I saw a big Gray lifted Ram Truck with a wrap on it that Said J.L. Ray Roofing Company on it today on The 73 toll road. I was in the slow lane furthest to the exit going 70 MPH. This jackass was only a couple feet behind me tailgating for at least a mile! I was so scared and afraid because there were two men scowling at me In my rear view mirror. Finally they began to exit the off ramp to only speed up and cross the solid lines on the freeway that are illegal to cross, cutting me off and causing me to break and almost loose control causing a possible horrible accident!!! Next thing I see they pull the same WRECKLESS maneuver in front of me this time to a huge 18 wheeler that honked his VERY LOUD horn at these idiots also! I will go on to report this to the CHP because drivers like this need to be punished and STOPPED before they endanger any more lives. I would highly reconsider using these guys for your next job because if they can't even drive responsibly, what makes you think they will perform quality and safe work inside your home or business.

Highly recommend Jeff Ray and his team at J.L. Ray Company for your roofing needs. I was looking to get some repairs done on the flat roof of our home prior to installing solar panels. Jeff not only came out with a timely bid but he also hooked me up with Grounded Electric that he has worked with in the past for my solar project. The two companies coordinated a quick install that was needed to maximize my financial benefits of the solar system. In the process Jeff's team installed a Genflex 60 mil Single Ply TPO system on our flat roof, tied it in with existing tiled roof and even completed some custom metal work for my chimney and bathroom fan exhaust. Overall great job.

Our roof was over 30yo, the fascia constantly kept having problems, and we had been told (four years ago) that the papers under the tiles were disintegrating! Time for a new roof... We got two quotes from different companies. One of them, of course, being from Dan Mallet from JL Ray. We were really impressed with how through Dan responded to all of our questions. He had a drone and took some amazing photos from above that really helped us figure out some of our issues. After he came over, he emailed the quote over promptly and they were very competitive. We were very happy with signed with them. We were constantly kept updated with where we were on the schedule, the team was respectful and cleaned up after themselves, and they coordinated with our solar company. Really painless and easy for us! When the roof inspector came over, he said he was really impressed with how it was all constructed! The painters we hired to repaint the new wood boards said complimentary things too! Whew! Super happy we went with Dan. Definitely give him a call for a quote or for any questions you might have.

This company reroofed our home in 2010. Did a great job at a fair price. Later had a skylight installed as a fill-in job - good job at reasonable price. Recently had storm damage needed some tiles replaced, told them not a rush, work me in when you can, trying to be accommodating. He called me 10 days later, and said I have a short day can I work you in. when I said sure, go to my house I was stupid enough not to ask for pricing, because they have been so reasonable in the past. when I got home, I watched my security cameras, and found they had been there one hour and 15 minutes. They replaced eight tiles. The next morning I received an invoice for $795. I was shocked at the cost. The next day, someone called me to ask when I was paying the invoice. I told them I was surprised at the cost and would have to wait until Friday on payday. Feel ripped off and will never use them again. UPDATE: They called to make it right and issued a partial credit. They have redeemed themselves in my eyes. Thank You!

Had to re-roof to accommodate solar panels. This company came via solar city. The lead guy, Joey, was great and friendly. Professional. He followed through on everything he said. After the job was done, there were 2 things that needed attention: a hole in the roof adjacent stucco that may have occurred during the demo, and the gutters were not put back up. Joey had the stucco repaired and because we weren't told at the time that the gutters were unsalvageable after they were removed, they replaced them at no cost to us. The work was done timely and appropriately according to schedule. The crew were peasant, professional and friendly. We had an excellent experience and would recommend them without reservation.

First time I used was last year, Dan Mallet arrived on time and did a great job. He provided pictures of the completed work. Used again this year and Dan exceeded my expectations. Would use them again & recommend to others.
