J Taylor Roofing

Our roof was too old for Tesla Solar, and so I reached out to Rod and about five other companies. He was out and worked on it so fast that we were done before some other companies could even respond. Pricing was as fair as can be and I would have stuck with him even if priced higher for a few reasons. Firstly, he beat out everyone by getting to my location of North Torrance, so if you're in the nearby area.... he's local. Secondly, he was responsive, so if service and peace of mind is important to you, it was provided in spades.

I didnt need the entire roof done, and I wasnt being oversold (unlike other companies tried to do).... fantastic. FWIW tesla was super picky with the permit, and you can get a copy online https://www.torranceca.gov/services/community-development/properties-permits-and-records-search

being a non practicing licensed contractor, I was impressed by the no nonsense approach.

We had a full roof replacement done by J Taylor Roofing in Nov 2021, this was an excellent experience, they are very professional and their pricing is fair. I got 5 bids and theirs was very competitive, the key to making a decision is Rod Taylor, he has a very reassuring manner and knows what he is talking about. He brought over samples of roofing materials and colors for us to evaluate and provided addresses of jobs with those colors, which we were able to see in person. His crews showed up on time, protected the property and got the job done quickly. The City of Torrance has a long backlog, so the inspector showing up was the only delay, which was not a big deal. The job was done right, including replacement of wood (at the price per foot listed in his proposal as an extra). I'm very satisfied with the results. Lastly, Rod didn't collect payment until completion of the job, I was satisfied and final signature by the inspector.

I would 100% recommend J Taylor Roofing. This is easily a 5-star contractor.

Support local businesses, they are the heartbeat of our economy!

I have a small rental house that was badly in need of a new roof. I obtained estimates from three local roofing companies who were highly recommended by neighbors on the NextDoor app. All three bids were very close--within just a few hundred dollars of each other, so price was not a deciding factor in my selection. After meeting Rod Taylor at the property and discussing the job at hand, I decided to go with J. Taylor Roofing as I felt this company was very competent and would do a professional job.

The installation went smooth and quick. It took one day to strip off all layers of roofing and replace the fascia and a few rotted boards. The only delay was waiting for the city inspector to come out and approve it. Once approved, it took just one more day to install the new asphalt shingles and the roof was done.

There is one thing I want everyone to know concerning the honesty of this company. After all the old roof layers were stripped off, Rod Taylor called me and said he had good news. He said the sheathing was still in good condition and did not need to be replaced, so that would save me about $2,000. Now any roofing company could have easily snuck that past me and I would have never known, but J. Taylor took the high road. For that, I was GREATLY appreciative of it.

By the way, they did not ask for a single penny from me until the job was 100% complete. And yes, the final invoice was over $2,000 less than the original estimate.

I had a very good overall experience with this roofing company and I highly recommend them.

J. Taylor Roofing is the Greatest! We needed a new roof and contacted several roofing companies. J. Taylor's quote was thousands less than the others. What is really great about J. Taylor Roofing is that they are ""Old School."" They've been in business for 50 years and you know the mortgage has been paid off! What's more, they're not taking 40% down and then go to another job. They take NOTHING down until the job is finished to your satisfaction. Rod Taylor, the owner, says it builds TRUST. That's true. I had great peace of mind knowing that they would stand behind their workmanship and products without taking a penny. They worked on our roof from start to finish. No gaps in service. J. Taylor Roofing is a family-owned business. ""Mom"" Taylor answers the phone. Her son, Rod, runs the company ""hands on."" They don't send a salesman out to sell you a new roof with all the bells and whistles, they send out the Owner, Rod Taylor. The team was very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Very polite, too. Rod Taylor has a lot of integrity. Everything he said he would do he performed on. I'd give them 10 Stars if only I could!

Extremely professional and gave us a quote faster than every competitor we also called to inspect our roof. I can't recommend highly enough.

J Taylor Roofing Inc. just finished replacing our Spanish Tile roof for our 2,590 sq ft house with two very steep angle roof levels making the job more difficult. We are very pleased with the finished roof. Rod Taylor, the owner, came out to give us an estimate. He walked the roof and took pictures of problem areas that were visible. Other roofers refused to go on the roof and identify known problems. We selected J. Taylor in early January, but could not schedule the job until mid February. To prevent further interior leak damage from rainy weather, they did temporary fixes to the leak areas at no charge. All other roofers stated there would be an additional charge. The crew always came around 7:30am and cleaned up when they were finished for the day. The crew and Rod were always available to answer questions as the job was progressing. We are very pleased with J Taylor Roofing Inc. and highly recommend this company.

We had a great experience with J. Taylor. I've spoken to a couple of their family members throughout the process and they have been so honest and just lovely, good people. They are professional and did a great job - I did not have to follow up much with them. This has been the easiest project I've had. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family!

I discovered a small leak at the top of my roof. Talked to a few other companies that all wanted to replace my entire roof even though it is only 6 years old. These guys came over, performed an inspection and were able to identify the issue with a repair bill far less than the other companies. They were able to perform the repair a couple days later and save me thousands.

I am senior citizen. I had serious problems with a new roof installed on my home by a general contractor, who told me he secured a permit, turns out he did not; and there was rain water leaking through my wall. I called Rod Taylor, who explained why, and what needed to be done to fix the problem the GC left behind. His crew did a great job fixing it; and quickly since it was rainy season, and for a reasonable price. I have a rental home, and every few years I call Taylor roofing to do what I call a roof tune up in order to prolong the life of the roof. This time, Taylor Roofing sent out one of their most experienced guys to see what they could do and then Rod Taylor called me and told me it did not need any maintenance work done this time; it was still good from the last ""tune up."" This is a family owned local company. I determined from talking with his crews that they are long time employees--which means they know what they are doing. They are good to work with; do great work, and are HONEST. What more could you ask for from a roofing company--they deserve the 5 stars.

I thought I needed a new roof. A different company came for a free estimate and was trying to sell me a new roof but wanted to know the price is was willing to pay. J Taylor came and said my roof is good, I just need patching. I appreciate the honesty. Definitely worth calling if you need your roof inspected.
