In short, we hired these guys in December to repair a leaky roof. They did not water test at all and continued to botch up our roof with caulking and bits of flashing for the next 6 months! Alex, one of the owners, always assured us that he would fix the problem, but repeatedly sent the same clueless guy out to our house. Finally in June of 2010, after 4 failed attempts at the repair and new DAMAGE done to our roof by National, we fired them and hired someone else. The other company performed a water test, replaced one piece of plywood, some flashing, and a few shingles, and the roof hasn't leaked since. Do not hire National unless you like wasting time and money.

I contacted a trusted contractor - Leo F Johns - and asked who they use for roofing. Mr Heger, the owner of National Roofing, called me back almost immediately after I left a message at the company. He came out within two days, made verbal recommendations, then followed up with an email estimate within another 72 hrs. i agreed immediately. Mr Heger made very clear that a reputable roofing company needs NO MONEY UP FRONT! He told me they have 30 - 60 day terms with their wholesalers for materials and do not need a deposit to pay for these. He advised me that any company asking for upfront money should be strenuously avoided. It took six weeks for the weather forecast to be favorable for the work because we had so many storms. Mr Heger touched base with me about every ten days during this period and discussed the weather. He gave me about five days notice and told me the work would be done Thursday and Friday July 22-23rd. The crew arrived on July 22nd soon after 7 am and got to work at lightening speed, stripping off two layers of tiles on the existing roof. This small group of Latino men are legal immigrants who have had their police backgrounds checked and undergo regular urine testing for illegal drugs. This is necessary for the company to have proper liability insurance. Since the temperature was 98oF outside, they took regular short breaks, but were very quiet with no obvious smoking on my property, a fact I appreciated greatly. That first day, they worked for twelve hours, completing the main roof and half of the porch. The next day, they finished the porch and garage. When I returned from work, the appearance of the new roof was strikingly attractive. My yard looked as if the angels had cleaned up - swept, no debris and not a single roofing nail in evidence. Since I have a dog, this was greatly appreciated. I offered to pay Mr Heger on the day of completion but he demurred, saying he would submit his bill by mail. To my amazement, the relative coolness of our second level was apparent immediately in that dreadful heat. The new tiles are three times the thickness of the old ones and the solar vents are making a huge difference. I predict that my heating/cooling bills will drop significantly. I commend Mr Heger and his company for their skill, professionalism, timeliness, good manners, cleanup and value for money. The wise counsel on avoiding vendors who ask for upfront money should be heeded by all. A very positive experience - I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

They were first class. They were very punctual and did a great job. The job was done in a timely manner.

I am now pleased with the company, but, at first I was not. It literally took them two years before they got to us. They were so swamped with work, that was why it took so long. Overall, they did do a good job with the repair. They recommended ripping up the section that had been leaking rather than just patching it, so that is what they did. Everything turned out great and my roof is no longer leaking.

I thought National Roofing did a perfect job when installing my roof. Really, they made sure to work until it was complete. They made it all look so simple too. I would say it was a pleasurable service that I had no hassles with. Hopefully they are still around in another ten or twenty years to install another roof for me.

I am quite satisfied with everything. I do believe that National Roofing prefers to do commercial roofs over any other. They are a great company and they seem to do wonderful work. However, they are a tad bit expensive. I probably would have charged less, but then again you should see the garage. It is as big as my house, literally . I am pleased that the roof has never leaked since they put it on and if for some reason it should, I will have them back to fix it.
