Kent Roofing Company
Company Overview
Jon Kent acquired his license as a roofing contractor from the California government in February of 2011, and thereafter founded Kent Roofing Company. Sam, his father became part of the company as Site Superintendent and Head of Sales. Our business is authentically a family-operated enterprise.
Jonathan's grandfather started a home maintenance service called AHS in the 1970s. It wasn't long before roof restoration and preventive maintenance was recognized as his specialty. The need from his clients on roofing tasks dominated the company. When Doug left us, AHS stayed in the hands of the family and was managed by Doug's son. Sam, along with his sons, Jessie and Jonathan, maintained service for their clients and preserved the quality of work that Douglas created.
In the year 2008, Jonathan departed the family-owned company to gain expertise in the field of commercial roofing. For the following four years, Jonathan trained with the best tradesmen in one of the leading Bay Area commercial roofing firms. Jonathan Kent founded Kent Roofing Company in the year 2011. Jonathan's family and roofing go back to the 1970s. His grandfather, Doug was the proprietor of Allied Home Services. The company focused in the repair of cedar wood roofing. After many years of working in residential roofing, Jonathan was hired one of the leading commercial roofing firms. He remained with that business until acquiring his C39 license.
Raised in the Santa Cruz region near the Lexington Reservoir, he resided in multiple locations in Santa Clara County. After meeting his wife Lindsey, he made his home in Aptos, CA. He makes his home there still with his wife and two children. His firstborn, Ryin is in secondary school. Jacen, his son is in junior high. Lindsey is a Speech and Language Pathologist.

Jino J.Real Gentleman. We had leak in my daughters room. He came promptly on time and told us what the issues were. Apparently there was a crack on the wall and when it rains heavily water was going into the room. He temporarily fixed the issue and he didn't even charge anything although I offerered him money for atleast his gas and time.
You can rarely find people like him despite the fact the previous contractor we had to deal with was a crook and insurance fraud!
The team came out and fixed a roof leak. Based on the description and location of the leak, they identified the bathroom vents as the source and provided pictures of the problem. (Bathroom vents did not require grommets when the roof was replaced in 2002.) No leaks since
after 10+ inches of rain..
Most important part, Kent roofing was available when almost no one else would return phone calls or were booked 4 or more months in advance.
Natasha W.We bought a new house and the inspection report showed some items that needed to be fixed but we wanted to get a roofing company to come do their own inspection. Kent Roofing is the business to come to if you need an inspection or any work to be done. The guys did amazing work and went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right. Our roof looks new after all they have done!
If you need anything roofing or gutter related - call these guys. You'll be glad you did...
Denise M.Kent Roofing was awesome!!! I left messages for Kent and 4 other companies for a leaking roof during xmas week - Kent called me back that evening (no other roofers returned my call during the holiday week). They were responsive, reasonably priced and professional. I absolutly recommend Kent!!
We had a roof leak. Sam came out the same day I called to take a look and put together an estimate. It took a week before they could schedule the repair, but the work was done very quickly and the results look great. Particularly at a time when so many companies won't even bother to return your call for a small repair job, these guys were great.
With El Nino leaking into our house, Kent Roofing made us a priority. Nice people who put us at ease from the start and got the job done, on time and on budget. They showed up when they said they would, were polite and professional, and cleaned up thoroughly before they left.
I would work with them again.
I contacted Kent Roofing when my roof developed a leak and needed emergency repairs.
The despatcher said they would have someone there right away to evaluate the situation and take care of the problem. Within 15 minutes the Kent Roofing truck was in front of the house.
They quickly determined what needed to be done and completed the repairs.
More importantly the repairs were successful and the leak was taken care of.
This is the second time I have used Kent Roofing and I highly recommend them.
I've had a great experience with Kent Roofing. It was relatively small but non trivial project.
Sam worked with us to design right solution and made sure that it will be cost effective.
Job was done very quickly and professionally. I was quite happy with result.
On the top of everything Sam Kent and Co are very nice people. It was a real pleasure working with them.
After several attempts at fixing my roof water was still leaking into my bedroom at 1:30 am in the morning. I then left a message and typed my review on yelp and the owner came to my house at 2:30 am to tarp the area that was leaking. He profusely apologized and made good on the repairs the next following morning, and assured me that he will take care of me.
I saw their truck across the street and walked over to ask about getting a quote. Jonathan and Sam came over to check out my roof and was able to email an itemized quote for materials and labor for my roof and gutters from his Ipad in just a few minutes. I kinda took a while to get back to them because it was still summer and the rainy season seemed far away. Anyway when I finally called back I was able to pay my deposit over the phone to get my job scheduled. I guess they had a spot in their schedule so they were able to get me in pretty quick. They drove me around showing me roofs they did in my neighborhood and pointed out the colors of all the roofs in my neighborhood to help me choose the color. They tore off and replaced the roof and gutters in 3 days. My roof looked great! When Jonathan came to do an inspection and make sure everything was ok, I told him I was still finding nails in my yard so he and Sam swept my yard again with magnets to get any nails and bits of shingles left behind and also did some touch up painting on the wood repairs to the roof. He also offered a me a discount because he wanted me to be 100% satisfied. They did a great job on the roof and also with their follow up after the job was done. I would highly recommend Kent Roofing Company to anyone looking to hire a company that takes pride in their work. Great job Jonathan! Thanks
