Albert came out right away to do an estimate. There were a couple of tiles that looked like they might fall on our deck and he sent one of his workmen out to fix it before we even contracted to do the rest of the work because it was dangerous. I got his name & number from Angie's List and didn't even call anybody else for an estimate so I don't really know if the price is comparable. He was just very easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, cleaned everything, etc. I have a one-year warranty for the work. It was a pleasure doing business with them
Description of Work: Removed broken roof tiles and repaired. Resealed around two large skylights.

The job went very well. Albert Apodaca was very responsive to my requests. One issue caused a small section of the roof to be redone at my request. Additionally, the price was extremely competitive.
Description of Work: House was re-roofed. At my request, A-1 Budget Roofing performed additional measures, such as closing under-eave vents, for fire hazard protection purposes.

Albert Apodaca showed up on time and was informative. The estimate was reasonable and complete. The roofer, Jaimer(spelling?), was very thorough and professional. He advised me of the steps, and cleaned up after the work. He even retextured and repainted the eave portion that was replaced. Thank you. I cannot tell you how many times we have had to finish the jobs ourselves when we hire something done. This time we didn't have to do anything. The work was done in October and we have had several hard rainstorms since then and the repair has worked. We would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Repaired a portion of roof where the previous owner had not had flashing installed around solar pool heater piping. Work Included replacing underlayment boards due to some rot.

Excellent! Apodaca (owner of company) arrived right on schedule for estimate and and assessment of roof leak and damage. (Hard rains had left my bedroom closet flooded). Quickly analyzed the problem and discussed repair needs and work duties proposed. A date was scheduled for repair work. Again, a worker arrived right on time (even a few minutes early!). Performed repair, was polite, neat and the best part . . . when the next big rain storm hit a couple of weeks later . . . no water was in my closet! I was offered an annual check-up (free if no further repairs were needed on my 20 year old roof). I am very satisfied with their work and professionalism!
Description of Work: A-1 Budget Roofing removed shingles around leak area, removed and replaced a T-top at repair area. Supplied and installed felt at areas as needed, sealed 2 pipes with caulking at additional leak areas. Reinstalled and replaced broken shingles to match color of existing composition shingles. Included cleanup and removal of debris. Installation and repair included a 2-year warranty.

A1 did a great job on the roof from start to finish. There were no surprises or 'gotchas'. Al was very honest and always available to answer my questions. They also installed a Solatube (highly recommended). Only issues were some scratches/excess tar on my driveway, which they gave a credit for.
Description of Work: Full re-roof with Eagle Lightweight tile plus Solatube.

I called them and told them I had a small roof leak job. The owner, Albert Apodaca, came and confirmed that the flashing around our skylights had been done improperly when our roof was replaced a few years ago. He assured me that installing new flashing would stop the leaks. He gave me a verbal estimate for labor and material, then sent a written contract which I signed. I received an email confirming the date and time of the repair. A workman arrived on time, introduced himself, and began work. An hour later he rang the bell and explained that he needed to get some material and would return soon. He returned quickly and resumed work. He removed the skylights, covering the openings with clear plastic so nothing could fall inside. He finished in about half a day, replaced the skylights, and cleaned up thoroughly. The work appears neat and carefully done, as viewed from the ground.
Description of Work: They installed new flashing around our skylights to repair rain leaks.

From the start, owner Bob Crowe was very responsive. He promptly answered my email request for an estimate and came exactly when I wanted him (after work hours for me). He emailed me the estimate soon after he had visited and was able to schedule the job to start soon thereafter. Jaime came on the appointed day and apologized for being alone: they were finishing up another job and his partner wouldn't be available until the next day. Jaime was nevertheless very industrious, courteous and knowledgeable. He was joined by his partner the next day and they worked hard and happily together until the job was complete. They were both careful not to track dirt in or let the cat out when they came in and out of my house. The new roof has already made a tremendous difference in keeping the heat out of my house and although I have not had the opportunity to rain-test it, so far so good. (Bob hasn't yet replied to my recently emailed question regarding their warranty.)
Description of Work: Re-roof (torch-down) of existing flat roof, adding 2 inch insulation. Installation of 5 O'Hagin vents. Replacement of all ridge caps.

The workers appeared to work without supervision. One of them asked where we wanted the O'Hagin vents installed. We told them to call their boss because we didn't know. He didn't call his boss, but cut out holes anyway. Later we found out from the O'Hagin Co. that they train workers on where to position the vents correctly. The O'Hagins have not achieved the expected cooling. When the flashing was being installed we noticed that it was bent, crooked and lifted. It didn't look as good as the old flashing. It looked terrible. We immediately called Albert. We told him we were very unhappy with the flashing. He didn't appear to be concerned about the sloppy work, but told us that he would have his detail person improve the problems with paint, caulking, etc. When Albert considered the flashing finished, it looked better but still not acceptable. Albert sent us a full bill.
Description of Work: Albert Apodaca told us that we needed to replace the small tar roofs. He noticed that our house had more than one roof one on top of the other. He recommended that his company install 12 O'Hagin vents at $1200 cost. The workers removed and disposed of our previous tar and gravel roofing in 4 small areas. They installed a 3-ply Torchdown system. They installed new metal flashing and drip metal. In addition, they cut holes in the regular composition roof and installed 12 O'Hagin vents. These were spread over the attic and the garage. The workers painted the metal flashing using our paint. They removed their debris. On his last day, the detail person mentioned to Albert that our stucco was crumbling under the flashing. Then Albert said that what we needed in order to improve the appearance of the flashing, was to remove the flashing, we would re-stucco the edge, and his company would torch the edge. He would charge an extra $400.00. We wished Albert had told us of this option BEFORE.

They were on time, very friendly, very honest about the bid and did the work as stated.....even though it went an extra day, the guy came back the next day and worked hard to complete the work, my only concern was when the bill arrived, it was for almost 5000.00....when I called the secretary said that it was her mistake, apologized and the updated invoice arrived the next day for the correct amount.
Description of Work: Estimate of roof...then repair.....they were very honest as to what actually needed to be done and set about doing it. Although it took one extra day due to unforeseen additional work, they did it and cleaned up as they said they would.

Bob came out the same day I called. I received an estimate via e-mail and had the repairs done about 5 days later. Both Bob and the man who did the repairs were professional and everything went very smoothly. The only small negative was that I had been told that someone would be at my home at 7:00 a.m. but he didn't arrive until 7:30.
Description of Work: My roof had two leaks. The leak by the chimney had supposedly already been repaired by the previous owner of the house.

Bob Crowe came out to give the estimate, and knew exactly where to start looking for the leak. He didn't waste time worrying about a nearby skylight, like two other companies I sought estimates from. His price was 40% less than the others. Work was done two days after contract was signed, everything done very professionally. Bob didn't ask for payment until he sent me a bill a week after the work was done.

They were very prompt and professional in all aspects from first visit & estimate to arriving at work & completing the job. The boss showed up shortly after the work crew to touch base with them & me. The crew consulted with me during the course of the job and they cleaned up wonderfully afterwards. They estimated the job for 2 people over 2 days. Towards the end of day 1, two more people showed up and they completed the job on the first day. I found the company through Angie's List, read the dozen reports, & called them up. I didn't bother getting other estimates which is not my typical MO. The only remotely negative thing others reported was that the cost was perhaps more than others. I wouldn't know how much others may charge, but I will always rather pay a little more and have the assurance the job is done properly. I'd use them again and recommend them to anybody. Thanks Angie's List.

A-1 was responsive, from the bid process to the completion of the work. I had a call back after my initial inquiry, and they were there within a week to prepare a bid. I was traveling frequently and had to change start dates more than once. A-1 was quick to modify and performed the work when I could be available. The work was done quickly and was cleaned up good. There was a bit of damage to the interior of the existing skylights, and they will be out next week to repair.

We contacted A-1 due to the positive feedback here on AL. We had previously contacted two other vendors, and the A-1 bid was half the cost with a full 2 yrs. guarantee (vs. 1yr for others). The co-owner, Albert Apodaca, arrived on time to bid the project and spent a lot of time thoroughly explaining the scope of work. The work was completed in a single day, the workers were prompt, courteous, and cleaned up before they left. We wrote a check to pay for the services at the end of the day, but the workers would not accept it, instead stating we needed to wait to be billed for services first. The company website does not work, and the written proposal was not as thorough as the competitor bids. We were a little concerned about these two things, but we addressed them with Albert, and he provided a reasonable explanation.
Description of Work: They replaced or added new aluminum flashing to all vents to repair deteriorating concrete seals (there was one active leak on the roof). They painted all new components to match the roof.

Bob Crowe reviewed the job at the appointed time and submitted his bid to us within a few days. He explained that he has different crews doing new work and repair work, so he was able to schedule our relatively small job within a week of our OK. The 3 man crew arrived as planned and completed the job in two days. As the job progressed and questions arose, the crew chief made sure that we were satisfied. Bob also checked on the progress periodically to assess the work. Bob is a very personable gentleman and easy to work with. His price was fair, and the quality of the work is excellent. We will use A-1 for any future roofing needs.
Description of Work: We had a bee infestation in a shallow overhang section of our tile roof that needed to be repaired. The crew removed an appx 6x30 ft. section of roof tiles and repaired the area in an expert manner. They cemented the openings properly and replaced fascia that had been termite damaged. They also replaced appx. 40 ft. of fascia at the gable end of the house and another small section at the rear of the house that also had dry rot and termite damage. They painted the fascia before installing it, and everything matched perfectly.
