Forbister Roofing Inc

It went great! Ron and his sons did a wonderful job. Very courteous and professional. The roof looks great.

Great! He did a wonderful job, complete cleanup and even installed a skylight for us.

This was the second time we worked with Forbister roofing. Once again, Ron and his sons exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond.

This review is long overdue but even five years later I continue to be pleased with Ron's work. He thoroughly explained the roof options available as part of the bid and did a great job describing the process. One thing I really appreciated was that he explained everything in common terms and made sure I understood the process. After beginning work, we talked about the need to replace one of our skylights which wasn't sealing properly. Ron made sure that was done in a timely manner and was able to incorporate that work at a minimum additional cost. The total cost of the job increases about $150 from the original bid -- the exact amount of the new skylight! I cannot speak highly enough about Ron and would not hesitate to recommend him!

Ron was extremely straight-forward, completely honest, and very professional and courteous. He was prompt, and ethical. I completely trusted him. I received a recommendation for Ron Forbister roofing from a good friend who told me the same things I am writing here. I would recommend Forbister roofing every time.

Fantastic ! Ron and his crew are extremely Professional, Polite and very meticulous ! Ron absolutely makes sure that every phase of the installation is done to perfection. Could not be Happier !!!

Excellent. Forbister Roofing did an excellent job for us. They are thorough, careful, meticulously detail oriented, and all at a fair price. Beginning to end they: removed our old roof and hauled away the materials, applied the underlayment to lock out any rain that might happen (this is March), installed new flashing and other materials designed to last as long as the roof or more throughout, installed Pabco Paramount roofing shingles, and thoroughly cleaned the gutters, and the ground around our home. We are completely satisfied and would definitely recommend Ron and his team.

Went fine. I know this was 10 years ago, and I don't live there anymore moved in 9/13), but the roof we had put on in 2004 looked fine and worked just fine (no leaks). I'm pleased to see that this guy is still in business, and that the recent reviews are also favorable. He finished this job in 2 days, just like he said.

We were very pleased by the professional and friendly service of Ron. We highly recommend Ron. We considered estimates from 3 other contractors. Ron was in the middle. We liked his lighthearted personality. They worked HARD the 3 days they were here. Morning to night. They cleaned up after themselves and were very respectful of us and our property. I highly recommend Ron Forbister!!!

It went great. He told me what he was going to do and what needed to be done. There were some changes that needed to be made because of some unexpected problems, but, he kept me informed along the way. Definitely will use them again when I'm ready to do the roof.

Roofing isn't something you want to spend money on, but what peace of mind comes with having it done by an experienced professional! There are many reasons we chose Ron Forbister after receiving estimates from several reputable companies. These include: 1. His professional but friendly manner from day one when he presented the most detailed proposal and really educated us on the whole process. 2. Being able to meet and deal with Ron as the owner of the company who also does all the installation work himself. This is a family business, and his capable sons assist him. We know if there are any problems in the future, we'll be dealing directly with him. 3. Complete education on the available products and the opportunity to choose materials made here in the Northwest for our kind of weather. Ron demonstrated a good appreciation of the challenges we face in Gresham with water and wind and assured us he would be able to provide a secure roof we don't have to worry about. 4. In addition to excellent ratings on Angie's List and with the BBB, Ron provided a portfolio of references for people whose roofs he has applied, without even being asked. We called several and found satisfied customers. 5. Ron demonstrated awareness of the challenge this decision was for us, including the financial aspect, and was very available to answer questions and help solve problems both while we were making the decision and during the roofing process. He also took care of some relatively minor but very important tasks during the roofing process, pointing out things we might have missed and solving problems we had noticed. 6. Ron works on only one roof at a time, so we never had to worry that he wouldn't prioritize our job. He finished exactly when he said he would in spite of its being done in February in Oregon! Now that our roof is on, we are so happy we went with Forbister Roofing. We can wholeheartedly recommend that you call Ron for any roofing needs. You'll be happy you did!

Ron came out and gave us an estimate. He made suggestions and was honest in giving his opinions regarding the roof and the siding. He is easy to work with and was open to discussing the total cost of the project. When Ron started the job he and his crew was on schedule and was there everyday that he estimated for the job. Very dependable. He would keep the job site clean and at the end of the day he and his crew cleaned everything up. Ron is detailed and wants things to be right as if it was his own home. The roof and siding have been installed properly as he had to correct other contractors work that was done in the past. Ron and his crew are pleasant and respecful and are hard workers. We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Ron

He did a great job. I would use his services again with no question.

I was looking to replace the outriggers under my roof when someone from a roofing supply company gave me his name. I called him and he came by to look at my house. While he looked over my house, he said he did siding as well. I had just had my roof done a few years earlier, but, it was not done properly. Ron suggested we concentrate on the parts of the roof we could fix and he suggested I look at getting the siding done as well. After looking at it a few days he submitted a proposal about replacing the siding and the outriggers. Since my siding was asbestos, I needed an abatement team to remove the old asbestos and lead-paint wood. He arranged that for me. I agreed on it and we signed a contract. Once he started the work, he noticed that I needed to add some additional ply board on the exterior along with insulation. After the old siding was removed and properly disposed of, he worked on it about a week later. I was happy with the progress and the quality of the work done. For the amount of work done, it was completed to my satisfaction. In fact, beyond my expectations! It ended up costing more than I wanted but it was because of the old siding that was asbestos and all the lead paint involved, and the crappy way my house was constructed to begin with. They made my house look like a real house. Right now, I'm happy with the way it looks. When I get ready to replace my roof the way it should have been done in the first place, I' m calling Ron.

I had a leaking roof. I recieved estimates from 4 other roofers and 3 chimney repair outfits. Ron was referred to me by Todd Clark, my realtor. Ron was the only one to investigate my roof by looking in the attic. Although his quote was higher he actually included a more true picture of what needed to be done. I think the others would have been much higher once they really got into the job. Ron and his son were very efficient and got the job done in 7 days instead of the 10 they had estimated. They cleaned up well and now my roof is beautiful and I am very happy with it.

I lined up for my new gutters to be installed and called Ron to have him install a gutter filler on the new gutters. Ron was easy to work with and came out just a couple of days after the gutter installation to put in the filler. He works quickly and does a wonderful job. He is easy to work with and very professional. He comes when he says he will and is very competitive with his pricing. This is one roofer who is wonderful to work with!

We found Forbister Roofing,Inc. on Angie's list.We called them and Ron,the owner,came out and made an estimate.A few days later,he send us a packet with all of the information we needed.Once we decided that this was the co.for us,he came to our house and signed the papers and made plans on the starting date.He had the dumpster delivered on a Monday,the old roof stripped on Tuesday,by Friday they were completely cleaned up and gone before 11:00 AM.Ron had us check the roof over the week-end,and then came to our house for the final papers and to bring us some left over boards from siding repair. We enjoyed Ron so much,we invited him and his family to our annual Halloween party. We plan on using Forbister Roofing to do some siding work for us in the future.

They were excellent and I will use them again in the future.

When they redid the roof they discovered dryrot and I had another contractor fix that work. I was very pleased that they did not ignore that. I was very happy with their work as well. I would hire them again.

The experience was excellent, Ron and his sons performed the work on schedule and did an excellent job. The work is top notch and they worked on weekends to ensure that it was done on time. The only complaint that I have is that he recommended a siding contractor to me to replace my siding, Keith Baker (Qualtiy Carpentry, Etc.), that was a complete disaster. Do not ever hire this individual unless you want to face liens from unpaid subcontractors, dealing with subcontractors showing up at your doorstep demanding payment early Saturday morning, pay for unexpected items related to vague bidding, and end up redoing the substandard work yourself.

The guy is wonderful. I’ve had him do the roof for me. He does roof on my rentals too. He’s very honest and very fair. He’s very responsive. When I call him he actually comes out and takes care of stuff right away. He’s the best roofer that I have found. I would definitely use him again in the future.

They were really great. They were exceptionally kind checking in to make sure the work was satisfactory. The roof looks great.

He is a very honest, good and competitive person. There was a problem in the roof and he went around, finding out what?s the problem and didn?t charge me anything. He did a great job and I was very happy. I didn?t find that good, so sent him a small cheque. I will recommend his services.

Outstanding experience, from estimate to completion. Although not the lowest bid, we were impressed with professionalism and comprehensiveness of the bid process, and so hired Ron Forbister and family. The work proceeded as promised and was completed on schedule. We love our beautiful new roof. As sometimes happens, some extra repairs were called for. Ron Forbister took them in stride, made all the needed arrangements, and saw to completion of the extra work, all at a very fair price. I was surprised to see that Ron used a closer spacing on the shakes than most roofers. That put a lot of extra wood on the roof and surely cut into his profits. When all was done, the project likely cost less than had we taken a lower bid from another contractor, with superior results. The proof of any roofing project is the rainy season. I am pleased to report that everything is great. No leaks and no follow-up of any kind required.

Very professional from beginning to end. Presented the most complete estimate. Answered my questions in the most direct and clear manner. Presented clear options with various price points when problems were found during the removal of old shingles that showed a need for either a partial or complete re-roofing, beyond just installation of new shingles. I am very happy with the results and feel comfortable recommending this roofer.
