R&J Roofing

I can't say enough good things about Randy, Juan and their crew. I was referred to R&J by a contractor who was doing work in the neighborhood. Come to find out, Randy did a roof for another neighbor on a prior house and was quoting jobs for a couple other people in the neighborhood. I asked for 3 bids from different contractors and Randy's bid was very reasonable (as far as roof prices go!!!) Randy and Juan were prompt (actually showed up for all appointments and the job on the day and times when they said they would be here!!!), professional, really knew their trade and were helpful in explaining the entire process. They even said I could go another 5 years with my existing roof, proving to me they were not pressuring me to get the job! I felt they were genuine and honest from the beginning. Randy was responsive to any phone call or text, and Juan was on the job throughout the day. Everyone says that redoing a roof is the worst/dirtiest job from start to finish. That wasn't the case with R&J; they cleaned up each day (old shingles, debris and nails), vacuumed and always ""warned"" me what was coming next. Additionally, the crew was always respectful, pleasant and kind...actually all just nice guys! I would highly recommend Randy and Juan for any roofing projects.

Randy and Juan came out like promised and assessed my roof to rule out water infiltration in the rear windows of my home. they were fair, honest and knowledgable. i appreciate solid, trustworthy and hardworking individuals; that's exactly who these two are.

i'm going to hold on to their contact info and reconnect with them when i'm in need of a new roof. i highly recommend calling them if you're in need of an experienced and honest roofing contractor!

Randy and Juan are the best guys, if you want to re roof or have any questions regarding roof. We recently bought the house and our roof seem to be in a bad shape because of which we were not getting any home insurance. When Randy and Juan inspected the roof they found we were having double roof which is quite rare and they told its quite stable, leak proof and recommended not to to anything. They also agreed they can talk to our home insurance company regarding this . These guys saved us a lot of dollars that we were about to spend on something that was not broken. They are so honest and have great experience in this field. . They came this morning and I could not wait to leave a review for them. Thanks so much R&J for your great inspection and recommendation.
If you want to save money and want an honest estimate please hire them.

My experience with Randy was all positive. Nice guy, quality work, on time, very competitive price, easy to get in contact with. He went above and beyond to help me with a project unrelated to the original scope of work. Would definitely recommend.

Randy really help us to solve our roof problem and did a great job.
We had roof leakage because previous gutter contractor step on the roof and break it and we just find out in March when the rain season coming. My wife look at yelp and find Randy. After the call, he show up immediately and check on our whole roof.
He is very nice and fix the leakage in a very short time and even more he check all the roof and find another potential issue , he use the retired tile to fix it and save us a lot of money.
After he finished his work, he further check the whole roof again to make sure everything goes right without any extra charge.
It has been more than 4 months and we ran through the whole raining season without facing any roof problem.
I really recommend Randy becuse he is a truely trustable and concerning his customer.

I was introduced to R & J Roofing from a reference of a friend. I needed to have repairs done on a roof that was leaking and also a skylight that had deteriorated over the years and caused water damage to the bathroom below. I dealt exclusively with Randy, who is a very pleasant and reliable person. He was always on time for his appointments and did the job when he said it would be done. Since the skylight was not of standard dimensions, it had to be special ordered. In the meantime, he and a fellow worker worked and finished repair on the other parts of the roof that needed repair. He even took pictures of the finished work as well as during the repair and emailed them to me. While waiting for the new skylight to come in, it looked like it was going to rain, and the day that I called Randy, he went out and put a tarp to cover the old leaking skylight to prevent any further water damage while it rained. I was very happy about this. After the new skylight came in, he installed it and finished the job perfectly. I will call him in the future if I need any roof work done. Thanks a lot to you Randy!

Randy is a man of great integrity. He came out to quote the job right away, kept me updated on exactly what would happen when, and did a terrific job. I was a little nervous to use him because his price was so much less than the other quotes but I know a little about roofing and they did a top notch job. When I had an issue later that was unrelated to their work, Randy came right out to take a look and advised me how to correct the problem. Regarding the other yelper's comments about Randy being very Christian, I agree. He makes it clear that he operates his life and his business based on his principles, and it comes through in his positive attitude and work ethic.
He is a nice man who genuinely cares about people and does a great job for a good price. I wish i could find more companies and people that operate this way. 5 stars is a rare complement coming from me.

Randy and the rest of the guys are GREAT!!! I contacted him on the recommendation of a friend who works with many remodeling contractors, who said Randy is the best, very trustworthy and did great work. I also consulted with several other roofers who came with high Yelp and other recommendations, and Randy won hands-down. Some of the others had flashier brochures, but didn't follow through on customer service. The guy from Mr. Roofer missed our first appointment, then didn't bring a tall enough ladder to get on the roof the second time even though he said he'd google-mapped the place, and my home is very typical of SF and the area in general.

I'm a new homeowner and a big GEEK, so I did lots of research on roofing materials, contractors licenses, bonding/insurance, etc. I work in an area related to environmental protection, and looked into Earth-friendly options. I also wasn't really excited about the prospect of the stinkey, messy hot tar pot that would normally be used to replace my flat, tar and gravel roof. Stray tar globs on my off-white house paint, driveway, yard? No thanks! But Randy's recommendation was a more modern, global-warming-fighting material that actually helps preserve the useful life of the roof. It's this silver goop that reflects solar rays and reduces the daily heating of your roof by the sun, so less flexing and wear on your structure. Plus less heat build-up in your roof/home, so maybe lower AC bills if you live in a warm area.

I'm also a little paranoid, so I grilled Randy about the the silver goop, and he was very knowledgeable about the product specifications (which I'd researched - geek!). I live in the Sunset, so was concerned that the ordinary summer mist/dampness might interfere with the curing of the layers of the silver goop. Randy was up to date on the original specs and current manufacturer's recommendations for application. My suspicious little heart went pitter-patter with happiness!

Randy is also just a nice person. He's really Christian, but not in a creepy/pushy way; more in the ""he wouldn't even think of doing something inappropriate"" way. I had a cold one day and he offered to pray for me. I told him I'm a Buddhist and I'm sure that there are others who could use the prayers more than I; and he was very gracious. My co-owner also thought Randy to be of good character. We're both attorneys (public interest, not the rich kind), so we don't generally like/trust people to whom we're about to write checks for thousands of dollars. Randy definitely made a positive impression throughout the process.

Also, the tear-off crew deserves special kudos. I don't remember the crew leader's name, but I felt very comfortable having him in my home. He also cleaned up a mess I'd inadvertently made by leaving open the door to my crawlspace, so that the old tar and gravel fell through the roof slats into my laundry room. Totally my fault, but these guys were really gracious and went beyond the call of duty. They totally cleaned up everything every day, and didn't contaminate my co-owner's organic garden in the back yard.

In sum: The job was done quicker than they'd estimated. Randy took care of the permits and getting the parking marked off for their trucks. He was always available for questions and as pleasant as could be. All of the workers were gracious/not creepy for a single female to be dealing with. And the price was great! I waited until after we had some rain to do the review, and no leaks/issues. I was too chicken to convince myself to go up onto the roof as I'd originally planned, but I can see the edge flashing from my windows and it looks very tidy and professional. I just can't say enough good about Randy Orta and his gang.
