Roofing Unlimited

Luis was extremely professional. I needed to get some repair work done for my mother-​in-​law who is on a fixed income. He came in, gave us a written proposal, no hard sell for more that what was needed and did the repairs timely with no additional cost even though he had to buy 4 additional tiles. I highly recommend him and will use him again.

I had 5 roofers over to look at my roof and only Luis felt he found the problem. Once we agreed to do the repairs it only took him a few days to come over and make the fixes. He fixed what we talked about and even plugged up a few holes made by some nails. I am very happy with the service and response time.

If I could give six stars I would. Their knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail (including clean up) are outstanding. Luis and his excellent crew reroofed most of our historic house about 7 years ago, and did an amazing job reconstructing the original 78-​year old tile roof (only better — no leaks!). It was a fantastic amount of work, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. They have been back a few times for upkeep, and just finished restoring the remainder, again with results that exceeded my (often unreasonable) expectations. The roof was just inspected (house is in escrow) and the nit-​picky inspector — paid to find problems — found zero things wrong with this 1929 roof… wow.
If you need your roof done right, these are the folks. Luis pays his crew a living wage, the true cost of doing business the right way. Their work may be more expensive than other outfits, but I’m proud to support this business model and certainly it works given the quality of the outcome. Wish more service businesses operated like this one, it’s golden.

Luis Lara and his staff are roofing experts. Two of my neighbors used them after observing the professional, prompt and attention to detail job they did on my home. Our roofs were all in the $ 10,000 to $ 12,000 range and Roofing Unlimited was worth every dollar. Thanks Luis.

I give Roofing Unlimited my highest recommendation. Owner, Luis Lara, is a perfect gentleman, has been a roofing contractor for over 30 years, and is a perfectionist.
I chose Roofing Unlimited to replace my roof over three other bidders, because Mr. Lara from the outset took a personal interest in my roof as if it were his own. He and his long-​time crew chief, Amador, inspected my roof carefully, provided me with a thoughtful analysis of what would be required, and were responsive to all of my many questions and concerns. Mr. Lara then submitted a proposal and cost estimate that was detailed, thorough and competitively priced.
The job was complicated, because the existing roof consisted of composition shingles laid over wooden shake shingles. All of that had to be removed, and the roof battens had to be covered with OSB sheeting. I was particularly impressed that Mr. Lara’s proposal recommended OSB with a radiant barrier and recommended 15 low-​profile roof vents to keep the attic beneath the roof well-​ventilated and cool.
From start to finish, my existing roof was removed and replaced with a beautiful new composition shingle roof in only three days. Mr. Lara visited the job at least once a day to ensure that it was done properly, to provide refreshments to his crew, and to determine whether any additional materials might be required. Before leaving my house every day, the crew carefully cleaned up all debris and unused materials. Mr. Lara walked the roof personally after completion to ensure that every detail was to his satisfaction.
Again, I recommend Roofing Unlimited without qualification.

This review has been a long time in coming only because things have been a bit busy lately. We had the work done in March. First, our over 20-​year old roof never actually leaked, but we had had to have the house tented for termites and so we had the roof inspected afterwards. There were some broken tiles to be replace but more importantly, the original roofers had failed to put any flashing around any of the vents or chimneys (2) in the roof. We got two estimates, one from RC roofing and one from Roofing Unlimited. We went with Roofing Unlimited because the bid was slightly lower and because we liked Luis Lara’s, the owner, prompt bid, which came with pictures he had taken of the roof to show us what he intended to do up there. Also, Mr. Lara had been recommended by a friend. Mr. Lara’s roofers showed up when they said they would and replaced more tiles than we had originally contracted for at no extra charge. We’ve had a significant amount of rain since then and all seems to be holding up well. We can also see the newly installed flashing and feel much more secure with that installed.
