"I’m leaving a detailed review of Garabar’s re-roof of my house to help those who, like me, want to know about the small stuff. For everyone else, I’ll provide a summary. Garabar was as competent, professional, and reliable a contractor as I could have hoped to hire. I targeted my re-roof for the dry season to avoid inclement weather. Since it was completed, the rainy season has come and gone, and Garabar’s work has been problem-free. They kept in touch with me throughout the process, and always called, texted, or e-mailed me back within a reasonable length of time. I watched most of the work as it was being done, and was left in awe at how efficiently they operated and at how detail-oriented they were. Their crew was able to handle long-term problem areas around the fascia and near flashing that I doubted could be properly fixed. They treated me as if I were their only customer. Garabar isn’t just a roofer, they’re a general contractor, and they’re willing to use those additional skills. Some roofers are GC’s but don’t want to do anything other than roofing. But Garabar also took care of replacing stucco and painting the new stucco, as well as painting the new fascia. This was 2 fewer services I needed to worry about and bid out. BIDS: I got about six or seven bids, and Garabar’s bid was very competitive. They were especially fairly priced with add-on’s like fascia replacement and seam tape. And their warranty was equal or superior to the other bids. My estimator was Tom Hogg, who was involved and accessible throughout the entire project, and who never tried to sell me on anything. In fact, a few times he advised against a service that would have been more than I needed. He was as knowledgeable as if he owned the company. And I asked a LOT of questions…several dozen of them at various stages. Tom answered every single one of them knowledgably and without any sense that I was bothering him. And everything he told me turned out just as he said. PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS: The only delay in the re-roof process was the permitting, which is outside of Garabar’s control. They worked with the city on my behalf and did not worry me or involve me unless it was necessary. Garabar knew exactly what my city required, and every stage passed inspection smoothly. COMMUNICATION: One of my key worries was hiring a contractor who would collect my signed contract and leave me hanging for weeks, and then just show up unannounced at their convenience. That never happened with Garabar. This company has depth and many points of contact: Tom my estimator, my project co-ordinator Moncell (who was beyond outstanding and always a really friendly voice to speak with), and my project supervisor Steven (who was on site at every major stage and at any other times that were necessary). I was able to contact any of them when I needed. Also, if one of them was away from the office, there was always someone else in their respective departments available (and willing) to help me as needed. Some of the other incredible people on their staff who helped me (and who I want to recognize for excellent service and taking ownership when needed) included Jennifer, Dianna, Shelby, and Rute. CONSTRUCTION: The re-roof happened in stages. The first day was the “big day”. That’s when a dozen guys were on my roof in 90+ degree heat all day. They tore off the tile, removed the old roof layers down to the wood deck, re-nailed my deck to current code, and then applied the black paper. This process took about five hours for my average-sized house. Once the black paper was installed, my house was water proof. In fact, it rained later that night and I noticed no water intrusion. The crew also replaced rotted fascia very quickly and with attention to detail. The crew was experienced, and was very careful and accurate. Next the water barrier and ridge metals were applied, which took less than a day. Time between the black paper and water barrier was just a few days. We then got lucky with tile delivery, which happened shortly after the secondary barrier was installed. Another Garabar crew came out promptly just a few days later and installed the tile with generous amounts of high-quality expanding foam (note: in my case, code required that a couple of rows of tile be nailed in). Total time from tear-off to tile install was about two weeks. Garabar also coordinated with a stucco guy to cover replaced flashing prior to tile installation. The roof looks beautiful and there wasn’t a single “sloppy spot” anywhere. There was no damage to my property, and the crews cleaned up every night before they left. They saved some leftover tiles for me in case any tiles ever get stepped on and broken. FINAL DETAILS: A crew came out to take care of minor “punch out” items and to paint the fascia. I have double fascia that abuts the walls, and they caulked both between the two fascia boards and where the fascia meets the wall. I wanted to use a specific exterior paint on my fascia, and Garabar agreed to use the paint I supplied. Their fascia arrived on my property pre-primed with a water-based primer. The only thing Garabar doesn’t do is gutter installs. However, they work with a company that provided me with a competitive quote and that did an excellent job. That company installed the gutters as required by the new roof warranty. One thing that needed some attention was the gooseneck vents. For some reason, the manufacturer doesn’t believe in adding a little weather strip to prevent metal from clanking on metal during windy days. It’s best to install the weather stripping before the vent gets installed on the roof, but it’s easy enough to install afterwards as well (something that Garabar, no surprise, also helped me with). Having several roof leaks was a major stressor for me, but Garabar took that stress off of me and made it their responsibility. I really can’t say enough positive things about the company. I’ve already referred them already, and will continue to in the future."

"They were hard working and they did an excellent job in a professional manner. They showed up when scheduled and finished the job in one day. Happy to say that in spite of heavy rains the roof no longer leaks!"

"The crew of 10 men came out on schedule and worked non stop the entire day tearing out the old roof and replacing with new plywood and flashing. They even took the time to paint the new trim. The roof passed inspection with the City of Sunrise with no issues."

"If you?re considering a roof replacement, especially upgrading from tile to metal, we highly recommend Lock Tight Roofing."

"Extremely satisfied. Tim kept in touch with scheduling, material delivery and installation. Everyone was polite, organized and efficient. Tim was on the roof routinely checking on progress. I had a metal roof prior to this and demolition left metal and nails. The crew were very careful about cleanup and installation. Finally, I have already recommended T Ryan to a friend and he is signed up to do his roof."

"Project: Install new metal roof Outstanding customer service, showed on time, finished job as promised, cleaned all the debris and old nails. When a problem arises, the owner, Jovanni, was there immediately, and fixed it to my complete satisfaction. And not to mention was cheaper than others. Andy, my point of contact was above and beyond to help and correct any problems. All in all, a very great experience, and I love my new roof!"

"I had my roof replaced by Trade Productions, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Mickey was the project manager, and he was outstanding. He kept me informed every step of the way, made the entire process smooth, and genuinely cared that everything was done right. The crew was professional, arrived on time, did excellent work, and left everything clean when they finished. I couldn?t be happier with the results and highly recommend Trade Productions, especially Mickey, to anyone looking for a trustworthy roofing company."

"Having the entire roof of my house replaced in the rain was a very stressful experience."

"I had My roof replaced recently and the company was Great from The beginning to the end. The staff is very helpful and the Crew members they have are excellent and hard working. Thank you for My beautiful new roof. I will recommend it to everyone."
