George Parks Roofing And Painting

If you’re looking for the BEST paint job, look no more.
George Parks just painted my home — it is absolutely perfect. My house is now GORGEOUS, thanks to George Parks’ crew of amazing painters!
Not only are they skilled craftsmen, they are super nice, reliable, professional, polite & so easy to work with. Thank you, Mr. Parks, & Chris! You are definitely «in my Rolodex» forever!

Very happy with work. George came quickly after my call and personally reviewed and estimated the job. He began and finished promptly. His crew was excellent. When we discovered a problem outside the contract he graciously absorbed the cost. I enjoyed working with him

After meeting and discussing solutions with Mr. George Parks today they start to do work on my home in Coto De Caza. Roof and painting. Will keep updated on the progress and work. Was impressed with Mr. Parks character and ethics.

With intentions of upgrading to three stars as the roof holds up in forthcoming years.
The low grade is due to the quality of the experience. Interaction with Chris was difficult.
From the start, the contract was incomplete and I had noted to Chris that there was no specification of the warranty period for the new roof. We had to insert this into the contract manually, the 10-​year warranty information.
There are details that I wish that Chris would’ve clarified with me before we began. Maybe the process is obvious for him but most of us change roofs so infrequently that it is an unfamiliar procedure. He may not expound upon the process but he answers nearly every question. Sometimes with enthusiasm, and other times with disdain.
For example maybe one should’ve known that the gutters would be torn out and potentially destroyed during the roof replacement process. I did not know that. Chris and Conrad managed to save them, albeit dented and missing the mesh covers. I know they are old and decrepit but new ones would require me to change the appearance of my craftsman home so I want to keep the old ones as long as possible. Regardless of their assessment of the gutters’ value, I felt it’s my stuff and up to me to decide upon their utility.
The demolition crew, comprising of over a dozen men, arrived early in the morning and removed my 5 layers of roofing. Yes, that was an unfortunate reality I had to contend with. To their credit, they removed a lot in this one day. To my disappointment, I found out after the fact that the service does not include clean up of debris that falls into the attic of the house. I was told that interior clean up is my own and separate responsibility. Also, I had warned the demolition crew that the rafter beams were dry-​rotted and unsafe to support any weight and they still walked across them to carry out the debris – repeatedly. After they left, I found the flashing and beams cracked, which I must replace, but fortunately they did not collapse and the guys did not fall 10 feet to the ground.
Chris complains but doesn’t like to hear complaint. He complained to me that the unexpected rain had protracted our project and that he was losing other customers. He complained that the City of Pasadena’s permitting process was lengthy and took him extra hours and days. He said he’d hesitate to ever do business in my city again. He also complained about money and cash flow.
I always paid him promptly and requested a normal line-​itemed invoice with date and labor performed before I paid. Having him generate standard invoices was a challenge. He tried to get me to accept email correspondence instead of official documents but I insisted on the latter. Whenever he did invoice, the due date was the following day.
When we did the walk-​through, Chris did not like my questions. My feeling was that there is no such thing as a dumb question, if I’m a neophyte which most of us customers are. They’re the expert. And if they loved what they did, why not enlighten us with some knowledge? No enthusiasm here. Where I showed him where excessive gobs of glue were applied to surfaces, he rolled his eyeballs. When I asked him questions about the roof work, he answered consistently with the fact that the family roofing company has been in business for 40 years instead of answering my specific question.
I have to say that Conrad heading their roofing team was more approachable. Conrad put in lots of patience and hard work into my roof. He was much more receptive to my requests, such as painting replacement wood and dusting off surfaces after the roof installation. He was reasonable and negotiable. He said that if I found anything not done well that he’d come back and redo it. I didn’t need to take him up on that.
All and all, two stars because the work is done. An amenable spirit and professional awareness were absent.
Hope the roof holds up at least. $ 20k dropped afterall.

I had an absolutely excellent experience in using George Parks Roofing and Painting to replace our roof!
The context: Southern California was hit with a series of rain storms and unfortunately our flat roof could not handle all the water. We had major leaks sprouting all over the roof and coming through the ceiling. It was the middle of the week and I had called nearly 5 roofers before I connected with George Parks. In each case, the roofers were «flooded» with work given the storms; many did not return my call right away and those that did were unable to help because they were too overwhelmed with the sudden workload. I was frantic! Then, I called George Parks, the angel that saved us! Not only did he personally pick up the phone, he took the time to listen to the issue, and although he was also incredibly busy, he got a crew out to cover the roof until the storms stopped long enough for he and the crew to get out and actually fix the roof.
The work: George Parks and his crew did a fantastic job on the roof. They were professional. They called regularly to update me on the status of the work. They answered the phone when I called! They completed the work within the timeframe estimated. And, the roof doesn’t leak anymore!
Thank you George Parks and crew!
P. S. I love to support locally owned businesses. And, this is a family owned and operated business!

Don’t hesitate using this roofing company. Recently they replaced all the old rotten wood and siding around our house that simply needs replacing over time. They are the definition of «doing the job right». Did not miss anything that needed replacing then primed, painted went back around to touch up making things look perfect. At the end of the day cleaned up properly to complete the job well done.

After the first rain on Halloween 2014, I discovered a nasty leak in my roof that literally dripped right on my face while laying in bed. I wasn’t really interested in going through the whole contractor auditioning process, so I called George Parks Roofing shortly after, based on their Unilocal scores.
I’m not a big fan of the telephone, so I e-​mailed them through their website and Chris responded to me nearly immediately. He came out the next day to take an estimate of our roof. Turns out it was in awful condition, with a big patch of shingles blown off from a previous wind storm.
I was clenching my teeth waiting for a horrendous price for my roof, but when he quoted our price, I was very pleased — it was totally manageable and completely fair. Instead of shopping around for other prices, I trusted this price and went ahead with it. I am glad I did.
The guys came out a few days later, and they did my entire roof in ONE day, AND worked it out so it would be inspected the same day, which is apparently very rare. They brought 6 guys over and started at 9AM. Within a few hours, they had shoveled off the entire shoddy roof, removed a bunch of old antennas and satellite dishes from previous owners over the years, and by noon they were putting on the new roof.
By 4PM, they were completely finished. The new roof was laid and looking GREAT. They patched all the holes, and painted the vents and exhausts to match the color of the new roof. They cleaned up everything in the yard very nicely. Some parts of my yard were in better condition than before they arrived!
On top of it all, Chris is a really cool guy and I enjoyed my time chatting with him, separately from conversations regarding the roof. All his staff were very friendly, tidy, and helpful. They took the time to answer any of my questions I had throughout the process.
They were very responsive and communicative, both via telephone and e-​mail /​text. Chris even texted me photos of my old roof so I could show my wife.
I was very pleased to write the check at the end. The roof held up great in the subsequent rains throughout November and December.

We are very pleased with the job done. We had a leaky roof after the first rain. We called them and they were out the next day. They weren’t able to immediately repair it so they covered the leak with a tarp. A few days later they we got a new roof. Beautiful and professional work. Very nice people. Would definitely recommend using them.

It was a pleasure to work with George Parks and his crew. We wanted our house painted and I thought we needed a new roof. George came out, looked at it and said with a few repairs and touch ups we could get another five years on the roof. The quote for the painting was thorough and very reasonable. They came out on schedule and worked very hard, right through a heat wave. When items came up that were not on the original quote (mostly our requests) he provided a detailed update with no hard sell. The house looks beautiful. We would absolutely use George and his team again.

Chris of George Parks Roofing and Painting coordinated the sealing of my house’s flat roof and deck. His bid was fair and his team completed the job on time and efficiently. More importantly, the job looks great and I am confident will last a long time. All through the project, Chris was attentive and willing to explain everything. I would definitely recommend this company for your roofing needs.

These guys are fantastic! I am a real estate broker and after hiring them to do repair work for one of my clients in Woodland Hills, I will recommend George Parks Roofing & Painting whenever I have a cloient that needs any type of roof repair, replacement or painting. Their work is clean, the workers are careful and considerate of my clients property and treated my clients with respect and do high quality work.

We bought a new house last year, and it has been in desperate need of a new roof. George parks and his sons came in and gave us a competitive quote. From the time we called the first day to the day the job was completed, the crew was very professional. Great customer service, great workmanship, and very professional. Highly recommended!

We bought an older home that needed lots of work; painting, window glazing, roof tile replacement… The George Parks crew came in and saved all of the old windows, helped us find the traditional trim color we wanted and rebuilt our front pergola which was rotting. The finished result is exactly what we wanted. Our neighbor is raving that the house has never looked more beautiful! The crews were so dedicated they worked late into the evening and were always polite respectful. The owners are attentive and follow up consistently. We can definitely recommend them with enthusiasm and plan to use them in the future.

I was on a very tight budget and decided to get several bids to make sure I was getting a fair price.
I dealt with Chris and he stood out from the bunch. I knew very little about roofs but Chris had excellent communication throughout the process and gave me great information. I’m a skeptic so I did my own research about ventilation and products being used, Chris never mislead me. He was very understanding of my budget and I ended up paying less than I thought I would.
The workers know their craft and finished everything in only 3 days. They left my home clean and free of debris.
I would definitely recommend this company for someone looking for an honest contractor. You will get a very fair price and fantastic work ethic.

George Parks and his crew did an outstanding installation of our new roof! From the time that we contacted him to when the roof was installed within a couple days, it was a great experience. If you are looking for someone who is honest, direct, and doesn’t mess around at a very competitive price, he is your guy. Through the whole process they made sure everything was cleaned up and organized. When there were small issues that came up outside of the scope of work, he treated us fairly! If I had to do it all over again, I would use him! Thank you George!

This is going to be an honest Unilocal review to help other folks truly find
a company that is what they say they are. We live in a manufactured home
and had some major water damage all the way into my garage. Fascia boards, siding, even framing! and we wanted to get the whole house painted after all the wood repairs. This was a big project. I searched and searched
as I am a research freak. anyway I found George Parks Roofing and Painting.
I spoke with George himself and we scheduled a meeting. I had gotten 3 other bids on the job and was not comfortable with any of them. Well George showed up when he said he would, and we walked the outside and I hit him with everything! Again
We needed basically one side of the house and garage rebuilt and the whole house painted. After meeting with George and what he told me they could do for us, not
only did we hire him we also added an entire new roof to the already big project.
Now here is where I don’t want to sound redundant like all the other reviews but
what fantastic company. They are what they advertise. George and his son showed
up and inspected every aspect of every project always asking if we were happy.
I don’t like referring the guys as the roofers or the painters, but I don’t remember
everyone’s name. You don’t get more dedicated workers than what we were
privileged to get. I mean these guys put in some serious hours on this project.
Always cleaning up after a very long day. They never ask for anything. I did get them to take some ice cold water as it was hot out. Anyway if you are needing a roofing
or painting project look no further. George Parks. It is a company I will stand behind.
And in return I am a customer that they stand behind. And again Im not blowing smoke, if I have any issue with anything they are on top of it. Just remember folks communication is the key. So If you want the family owned company treatment
Please call these folks.

George and Chris Parks are great! Very professional and talented in their craft. I would recommend their services to anyone!

Called and left a message twice, a couple weeks apart, but never heard back.
Update 1÷12÷13: The power of Unilocal!Shortly after posting the above review, I received a call and apology from George. For that response, I’m raising my rating a bit. As we move through the project, I’ll update and adjust final rating.

Family owned, they apply their personal values to their business and I can honestly say that this is one of those rare companies with a virtuous work ethic that rivals that of any other. I can not recommend them enough.
Go with George Parks Roofing and Painting if you want a fair deal and to work with genuinely good people.

My wife and I recently bought our first home and were told the roof would need to be replaced right away. I contacted a number of companies and these guys came in with a competitive bid and were more than willing to indulge all my questions as a first time home buyer.
They got the job done in a few days and Chris was very responsive/​informative. He kept me updated on what was going on and encouraged us to come look every step of the way. Tack on a free upgrade, and some additional uncharged labor… whelp they get my humble recommendation. Now lets hope the roof holds up for the next 15 – 30 years.
