Description of Work: We had a leak in our roof that was coming in through our window and ceiling. FDR inspected the roof, found the issue (slipped tiles), and reset and repaired the area. They also replaced some other broken tiles they found and resealed pipes (tuned up). The job was done very professionally with pictures showing us how everything was done. We appreciated their honesty in the repair as other roofers had exaggerated the costs and work.

Description of Work: Federal Building and Roofing was a great company to work with. Richard kept in contact and walked me threw the process. His guys were super friendly and clean. My roof turned out perfect. There was not a single nail left at the end of each day. I would definatly recommend them and use them again.

Description of Work: Richard was great to work with. He thoroughly explained the work beforehand and didn't give a hype. His quote was about the same as one other, and thousands less than the 3rd bid (which planned to use lesser quality shingles). When Richard found there were extras involved, such as my city requiring him to use a Western Waste dumpster, he put that charge into the original bid. I don't know how much it was, but I imagine a few hundred dollars. | |My roof was shingles over the original wood shake. Richard put plastic sheeting above the ceilings to catch the debris from removing the ancient wood shake. Neither of the other bidders was going to do that and I saw how much dirt and wood chips fell onto the plastic. | |The start date was delayed by a day because of expected rain. Richard's crew, headed by the excellent Berto, arrived on time and left the place spotless each day when they left. Berto and the crew worked very hard and solidly, even though it was 100+ degrees outside before the job finished. As I said, they worked hard and they finished the total re-roof in the estimated 5 days. | |I highly recommend Federal Building & Roofing. | |Mike T.

Estimate only.
Description of Work: The owner came out on Sunday morning, April 1st and sent me a very impressive email estimate the same day with beautiful pictures with data typed on them about the planned work and also a detailed PDF file with the proposal, but the work estimate for this tile roof part was $ 2600.00. I got an estimate for $ 1640.00 with the same 5 year warranty and same work and materials included from II Shea Roofing! The 3rd estimate I received for $ 1250.00 had only 2 years warranty.

They double booked up with another roof at the same time. The guys got really stressed and were rushed to do the roof. The guy that owned the company came out to do some consulting. He was very pleasant but he didn't give them the full instructions. We had to have them back out several times. They pounded this one board in where it was all splintered, which is a good place for termites. They had some valleys and dips in the roof. They were a mess and so sloppy. They missed underlining in some spots as well. So I had to put on my roofers hat, which I don't know very well, and climb up there and look for problems. They came out and fixed what I asked for but I will never have full assurance that they did everything correctly. It was just rushed, sloppy work. The only way to find out for sure if everything is okay is if I have another roofer out. They said they were going to be here one time and they didn't show up on time and I ended up missing work. They said nice things but the work wasn't good.
Description of Work: We had some boards replaced and some rafter tails replaced.

Response from Federal Building & Roofing
It is very disappointing to receive a review like this, we always strive for the satisfaction of our customers and in this instance we left the job with what we thought were satisfied customers. This work was for a Tile Relay of an existing tile roof with some fascia and sheeting repairs. Because this was an existing roof (no new sheeting installed) we could not correct sagging of existing rafters on roof. The customer had 2 chief complaints during this job. 1) tile along 2 valleys were not straight 2) and a porch’s rafters were not consistently touching the New Fascia we installed. We fixed both problems. Let me start by addressing the rating factors from the bottom up. Professionalism was always represented during this job, We kept a clean workplace, we coordinated completely with customer, and responded to all concerns. Punctuality was also represented during the entire job, once again we never canceled a single appointment, nor did we not show up when we were due to show up, nor did we show up late. Responsiveness was represented not only by meeting with customer on any and all occasions to address any concerns but in responding to those concerns by correcting any issues the customer had. Quality, as for quality of work performed, We may have fallen short of the customers expectations for quality but we would put our work against any other roofing companies work any day. Another part of quality is the materials used, in which we used the best and the highest quality of any available on the market today. Price would be subjective and comparing price without knowing other competitive bids and materials proposed would be impossible. The overall rating for a company’s work on a particular job should be viewed against all factors and in this case I believe the customers expectations were simply not met, this affected there view of all other factors. Once again, our company’s work product is superior to all other companies today.

I decided after living in my home for many years, and the recent windstorm in the Southern CA valleys, that my roof finally needed a makeover. I obtained 4 estimates, and was told by all of them that I needed the plywood base for the roof, as I guess roofs on older homes weren't necessarily built with them. Federal Building & Roofing actually came in with the lowest bid, so I decided to go with them, as I saw they had good ratings here. The team started promptly on the scheduled start date and got a lot of work done the first day, tearing off and hauling away the old roof and clearing out the debris. Richard left me samples of the Timerline Natural Shadow shingles on the first day, and I had up until the afternoon of the 2nd day to decide on a color. The 2nd day was the sheeting inspection from the city, so not much happened that day. On the 3rd day, most of the shingling, the 2 dormer vents, and 2 attics fans were installed, with only 1 side of the house remaining. On the 4th day, the remainder of the roof was completed. And I write this on the 5th day, when the final inspection is to occur. Richard Griego is the person who gave me the estimate, and he's also the person who I have contact with on any questions and progress on the job. He's very professional and extremely responsive. We exchange emails and phone calls daily. I had complete confidence that he would get the job done in a timely and high quality fashion. The shingles he installed were the Timberline Natural Shadow 30-year life in Barkwood. I love the color! I am glad I went with this color as the darker contrast is nice against the cream color stucco of our house. The pictures in the brochures do not do it justice.
Description of Work: Replace roof, install dormer vents, attic fans. Create platform for A/C condenser on rooftop. My house is just under 900 sq ft.

We have not found the money to have it done yet but the guy was very responsive and the quote was fair. He did a thorough job. I haven’t used him as far as the quality of work is concerned but he was very thorough. If I want to have the work done and when I can afford it I will certainly consider them. I really liked their professionalism. I would take a quote from them in the future.

They came out, evaluated the problem in detail, Checked the area all around the problem up to the ridge and then made the repairs. It was very windy that day and I didn't expect them to stay up there but they did and they completed the job and took pictures of the work. This company is top notch.

They performed the following: 1) they took care of all the paper works needed for the city 2) covered all the stuff that may either get damaged or get really dirty 3) dismantled my old roof down to the frame 4) put plywood on the frame 5) they had asked the city to inspect the boards they put up 6) they installed the new roof 7) cleaned all the debris and took it with them They stick to what they promised in the contract, (not being a roofer) they did a clean job, they added some vents that I have requested, and they were very professional all the way. If I had more money, I would have tipped them real good.

Federal Building & Roofing ("FBR") provided an evaluation and estimate during our escrow, free of charge, when other roofers wanted to charge us. Their evaluation included a very detailed explanation and included pictures which was helpful in understanding the scope of work. After we closed escrow, I did some comparison shopping. Just about every roofer I spoke with tried to convince me that I needed a brand new roof at a cost of several tens of thousands of dollars in some cases. I did not engage FBR until several months after their original estimate was provided and they honored their proposal. FBR was punctual and professional and completed their work on a timely basis. I never had any problem with them whatsoever. I have heard horror stories about other roofers but had no issues with FBR.
Description of Work: Fixed and patched roofing on both single story home and detached roof.
