It was the greatest experience working with Essential Builders INC. I can proudly say how happy I am to have trusted Essential Builders with my home. Working and negotiating with David T was a breeze. He was very reliable, knowledgeable, helpful and most importantly, trustworthy. I was delivered everything that was promised. Considering the fact that it is so difficult to trust anyone with your most valuable asset, your home, I am relieved to have such professional work that was completed in a timely manner with the Essential Builders Inc team. Thank you! Will be a proud returning customer again in the future!

Essential was good to work with. They were not the lowest bid. However, we felt comfortable with Essential. They worked hard. Were always on time. We believe they did a good job. Time will tell.

I recently had my roof redone by Essential Builders, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Joseph was absolutely great throughout the entire process. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and made sure everything was done right. Vic was also fantastic, assisting every step of the way and ensuring the project stayed on track. Their teamwork and attention to detail really stood out. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and they made what could have been a stressful project feel smooth and straightforward. I would definitely use this company again in the future and highly recommend them to others looking for reliable and high-quality roofing services

They were kind and efficient. I had to be diligent and push them to do a water test of the roof or else they would have diagnosed it with the wrong issue. But other than that, they were able to perform the work and solve the issue. It ended up needing a flashing maintenance rather than to re-do a whole portion of my roof (big difference... $1,500 vs. $4,500)

Great company to work with! Last year I hired them to re-do my roof and this time around I called Essential to build me a backyard patio from the ground up! Thank you Harry and Essential Builders!

The Project Manager was excellent in working around the holidays, December 2025 rainstorms and crew availability to repair my November 2025 roof leak and interior wall damage however, two issues of concern were not resolved, i.e., despite the contract stating that "Painting all vents to match the roof", a vent was not painted because they claimed that referred only to any "new" vents installed, and there are 1/2"-1" gaps between some of the reinstalled tiles. Both issues were emailed to the company and discussed with the Project Manager but not resolved.

Essential Builders are the best! Other roofers tried to swindle me with hugely inflated quotes. Essential Builders replaced my roof for a fair price, were efficient, did expert work, and stood behind their work. During the recent heavy rains, Alex even climbed on my roof - 2 years after installation - to make sure an HVAC repair person hadn’t damaged any roof tiles! In a city of contractors and home repair companies who have seen me as an easy mark for wildly inflated pricing, only Essential Builders were honest and fair. I trust them - and would rely on them for any future work, as well. Thank you, Alex!

Once Essential Builders removed the old shingles we found out that plywood would have to be added. Essential Builders immediately took care of that. I believe they did a great job and in a timely manner.

He provided a clear estimate, explained everything thoroughly, and delivered exactly what he promised — high-quality work done on time.
