Federal Building & Roofing

Knowing that I had an older roof, I knew it was time for me to consider the possibility that it might be time to replace it. I called different roofing companies and obtained the professional advise from each of the providers. By the time that the third company, Federal Building Roofing came out, I was fairly certain that a new roof was in order. Richard, explained to me that he did not feel that I was in need of a new roof at this time. It was his professional opinion that I still had 5-10 years left on the roof that I did have. Richard did however suggest that a few repairs be done to the roof, he also said that he would be happy to sell me a new roof if that was what I preferred. I of course went with the repair option. A few weeks later Richard and a worker came to make those necessary repairs that will extend the life of my current roof. I cannot begin to explain how refreshing it was to know that I was not trying to be oversold.... Honesty and integrity would be two words that I would use to describe my experience in dealing with Richard at Federal Building Roofing. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

I called Richard for a free estimate. He performed the inspection and gave me an estimate of $500.00 and said that he would email me his final proposal to do the work. Upon receiving his proposal, the actual price was $450.00. I agreed with his price and scheduled the work for the following week. Richard and his working was on time and they did a thorough job, checking the entire roof for any more loose roof tiles. I would recommend FBR for all roofing needs.

Richard responded to my request promptly even though it was over a weekend. He came out a day later and went right to work. he could have charged me extra for coming out on a Sunday but he did not. I expected to see a bill upwards of $500 considering how much water was coming in through a hanging light over our entry way but he charged us $300 which i felt was fare. he was also willing to bill us which was nice considering most contractors want payment in full upon completion. I will use him in the future for any roof repairs needed.

I called Richard a Federal Building and Roofing and he came out that same day. We spoke on what was required and he gav me a verbal estimate. He followed up with an email written estimate. We agreed to proceed and set the date for the work to begin. There was a delay due to bad weather, but he did call me and we reschedule the date. They were here when they were schedule and they finished ahead of schedule. I am very satisfied with the results.

Attic fans were installed in our 1904 home. Master bedroom is in the attic, much needed! VERY professional company! Punctual, knowledgeable, skilled, and pleasant. The whole process went perfectly. Just as described. Will recommend to friends and use again!

richard was great. we have a tile roof and it started a leak. he was prompt to return our call and showed up as promised for an estimate. said he would email us the picture and an estimate, got it by the end of the day and it was very detailed. we called a couple of others roofers, one never called and the other finally called a week later. once we got his lame estimate, it was $50 less but decided to go with Federal due their great customer service. with bad weather just around the corner, richard called a sunday afternoon to see if monday would be ok...yes...called on a sunday. showed up on time, covered some areas where roof dust may fall, cleaned up and haul away; done in one day. Great job, when and if I ever have to replace the whole roof, I know who I'll be calling. tkhks richard

The owner Richard was straight forward and gave us a reasonable estimate. His crew was professional and pleasant. They always cleaned up and were efficient. We are extremely pleased with the service, professionalism and work. We will definitely recommend Federal Building and Roofing to our friends and family. It is a pleasure to do business with such honest people.

Called FBR on Tuesday, they came out to inspect on Wednesday and fixed the roof on Thursday. Can't beat that for service!

Contractor responded quickly to my request for bid and provided a detailed assessment of the job with pictures and proposal. Contractor arrived onsite when he said he would, conducted the work in a professional and efficient manner, and provided pictures of all stages of the work to show what had been done. What I really appreciated is the contractor's integrity as he didn't try to up sale me the job. The job was minor and he knew exactly what was the cause of the leak. He did what he needed to and didn't try to make additional work than necessary. This work was for my home residence but I will definitely use him for my other rental properties in the future.

.Mr Griego was very prompt in his response. He went to the location in a timely manner to give an estimate for the job requested. He sent an email with photos explaining what he would do and the price. He was very professional. He did a nice job and we were happy with it.

Very professional service and high quality of work. They recovered a roof, everything looks fantastic. I would highly recommend this business.

I was very pleased with their services.

they were always on time and very professional. Great job.

I worked with Richard Griego who was referred by a realtor. While at my home he gave me a quote of $7975. All I needed was the actual proposal to sign and get back to him. When I got the proposal, the price was different. The proposal price was $8400, a $425 increase. His email said he forgot to include the fascia boards and some kind of "tails." I forget what he called them. This is what he does everyday. How could he forget to include the wood work?!?!? He blamed it on the heat. He meant this as a joke; but, I didn't see the humor in it. I really wanted to move forward with this company; but, I felt I couldn't trust it.

Removed existing tar and gravel roofing and replaced with asphalt and gravel, installed edgemetal gutters and screening around perimeter, and installed insulationg and Alumaguard Jacket on all plumbing pipes on roof.

I got lucky this time and found a gem. Federal Building and Roofing delivers what we all want and expect but seldom get --- Top quality results, excellent work ethic, reasonable price, and guaranteed work and materials. I had recent severe wind damage to my patio roof and to the roof ridge-caps, needing a new patio roof and all new ridge caps on the house. I also wanted all the fascia replaced, several wood-rotted rafter tails replaced and strengthened, a water cooler removed and the hole roofed, a gap covered and roofed between the house and an addition, and a broken electric roof vent fan replaced. As I am a widow, I have to make decisions by myself, so I researched Angie's "A" list of roofers to call for estimates. Richard Griego came to my house quickly for the estimate and understood exactly what I wanted. He explained how each item would be done and with what materials. He would prime and paint all the new wood. Richard brought a several-man crew who all worked steadily, skillfully, professionally, and neatly. I watched most of the two-day job. I know construction and I do good work myself, and I was constantly surprised and pleased that they were meeting my expectations about quality work. At the end of the first work day, they cleaned the work site thoroughly, and at the completion of the job, there was not a single nail or scrap of debris left behind. The site was left cleaner than they found it. I appreciated that all the men acted like gentlemen, were considerate and respectful. They were well-groomed and dressed in company shirts, and their trucks were clean and organized. There was no shouting, no bad language, no blaring music, and they kept the site clean. Richard has an excellent crew who all take pride in their work. I am very pleased with everything they did. I chose wisely.

In the middle of what little rain Southern California gets, and only days after Christmas (but before New Years) the roof in my den developed a serious leak. The roof in the den is a beautiful, open beam "flat roof" in that when you stand in my den and look up, what you see is the bottom of the roof - there's no intervening ceiling. So, when it comes to roofing, nails are out. Richard came out to give me an estimate for roof replacement the same day I called him. While taking a look around he found that another roofer I'd paid the previous summer for a new roof on the rest of the house had not placed roof caps on the peak of the roof. That was before I used Angie's List. (There needs to be a "Anti-Angie's List for telling people who to avoid!) At any rate, Richard fixed the roof on time, at a reasonable price, and even cleaned up the error's the previous guy made. I have already, personally, recommended Federal Roofing to friends and will continue to do so in the near future. Thank you, Richard! And thank you Angie's List!

I am happy with Federal Roofing. He took pictures before and after. He sent me all the pictures of what he did. He did a meticulous job and he wasn't pushy at all.

My initial call to Federal Building & Roofing was returned within just a few minutes. Richard was happy to accommodate my work schedule and meet with me early morning to give me an estimate. He was very professional and I liked the fact that he made suggestions such as adding additional vents. He also said he would put shingles on top of the torchdown roofing that had to be applied on the flat part of the front of the house so that it would look like the rest of the roof. (Another roofer said it wasn't necessary.) Federal also offered a free new solar attic fan which I thought would be a great addition to my roof. Later the same day I received by email an itemized estimate detailing all that was included in the proposal. After accepting Federal's roofing proposal and scheduling the work about one week away, there was only a two day delay because of rain. I was at home for just a short while on the morning the job was started and the crew arrived promptly. I liked that they were concerned about covering up the things inside my garage so as to leave it as clean as possible. The first day the old shingles were removed and plywood was replaced where needed. The second day the inspector signed off on that part of the job and on the third day the new roof was installed. The next day one of the crew came out to complete some painting and the last day the inspector signed off on the job. Richard kept in constant communication with me either by phone or by email which I appreciated. Most of the work was done without me being there. Each day the areas around my house were left clean and in perfect order - I could barely tell from the ground that there was work being done there. I'd had one estimate before Federal's and had one after. Federal's estimate was not the lowest, but I was impressed with the way Richard conducted business. The new roof is beautiful.

I've researched and met with with 4-5 other companies in Angie's List. I decided to go with Federal and its owner Richard. I was impressed with his professionalism and presentation. His bid was very competitive with others. He had a great crew. They came on time and cleaned up when they leave. And Richard returned my calls and emails promptly if I have any questions or concern. Overall, I am very happy with the job.

It did not go as he would not go to Victorville!

Richard Griego, the owner of the company was the most responsive person to come out and give us a bid. He was on time and was very knowledgeable, providing us with alot of information to consider. After he left, he emailed us his estimate that evening including a diagram of the foor area. Although we didn't go with him, we felt very confident with him and seriously considered his proposal as it was very competitive.

These people were great. Once I contacted them here at Angie's list, Richard called me right away. He scheduled the time to inspect the roof the next day and gave me a very good price. I didn't even wait and we had him do it that same week. He came with his men at the time he gave us and they were done in 2 hours. Very proffessional. Very good quality. My husband and I are very impressed and would recommend them to everyone.

. At first I got just two estimates for our new roof. After I got them I just happened to notice Federal Building and Roofing trucks a few blocks up the street from me doing a roofing job. I stopped and got a business card from one of the workers and when I got home the first thing I did was to check Angie's List to see if they were there. They were there with an A rating so I called the company and got Richard Griego. Richard came out the next day and gave me an estimate that was the best of the three companies. He was professional and easy to talk to. His estimate included everything unless we had to replace over 200 ft of dry rot and,or termite damage. (which we ended up having none) Then we'd have to pay for the rest. This seemed like a good deal as with one of the other companies we had to pay everything from one foot on. The second company covered any damage at all but was about $2,500 more on their cost. I'm glad to say we went with Richard and Federal. Our job got postponed a couple of times due to rain but once they started they really worked. We had a total tear off on our house and garage and they had several workers who put in 10 hour days. Start to finish was three full days. Knowing I wanted to add a solar attic fan I bought one way in advance. Turns out that Federal gave out a free one if I was on Angie's List so they added that too at no cost. PLUS, they also installed the one I had already purchased at no cost to me. Both my wife and I were very impressed with everything. The hours they put in of non stop work. The politeness of the workers. The way Richard himself monitored the job. The way they cleaned up everything (and it was a LOT of mess to clean up with all the layers of tear off). One more thing I should add. I mentioned that I first saw Federal doing a roofing job up the street from me. I went to that house and knocked on the door. Turned out people were renting the house but they gave me the name and phone number of the owner. I called him to get his opinion on his roofing job and he told me everything was excellent and that Federal had the best price of the estimates he had gotten also. Another thing that impressed me about Richard. Our house was built in 1941. We bought it in 1977. Over the years things had been upgraded and changed around a bit and Richard noticed that there was actually obsolete pipes and vents that had no reason to be on the roof at all. He checked out inside the house and outside to make sure but we ended up eliminating a couple of things that gave the roof a cleaner look. All and all we would definitely use Federal Building and Roofing again and we are definitely giving them a top recommendation.

I'm very happy with the work performed, and I am confident that the leaks will be a thing of the past. If I ever need any roof repairs in the future, Federal Building & Roofing will be my first call. By far the best roofers I have ever used.
