Get matched with top metal roofing repair pros in Boca Raton, FL

"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."

"Partial roof repair. Estimate was spot on and professional as was the actual repair team. Also, done within the two days committed to."

"Had roof repair quoted and done within 24 hours for a fair price. Will contact them when I put on a new roof."

"Alco Roofing is an excellent company to work with. They just finished installing my metal roof and everything went smoothly and quickly. Thanks to the ALCO Roofing team."

"Martin from GH Roofing contacted me immediately. He was prompt and fair with his estimate. Once I decided to contract GH, he was able me to schedule my roof repair on my schedule. His repair person arrived on time and completed the job to my satisfaction. I recommend GH Roofing to anyone looking for a fair priced job and reliable service."

"We had a few leaks in our roof and found J&K on Angie's List. Mike came out to give us an estimate and, after talking with him, we felt so good about his knowledge and expertise that we agreed on the spot to accept the estimate and get the work done. Just a few days later we received a call that they were ready to start. We had two valleys and a spot above a window repaired. Kevin and Don were amazing. It was 90 degrees on the ground, so I can't imagine what the temp was on the roof. They removed the tiles carefully so as to reuse them and took great care to clean up any debris. They kept us informed every step of the way and were very cordial and friendly. We were very impressed with their skills and work ethic. Now we are ready for hurricane season with a roof that won't leak. Would definitely recommend J&K as an honest, local business with fair pricing."

"Juvenal showed up on time, explained my options to me regarding repairing my roof leak. There was no pressure and although I had other estimates, I went ahead with Alco. I’m glad I did. My roof is fixed; I’m confident in the work done, so much that I’m having them fix the roof on my shed too. I recommend Alco without reservation."

"Jason and his crew were great to work with. He was honest and forthcoming. Did our complete roof removal and install in 3 days. I would recommend his company to anyone looking for a new roof. Plus, he was the only company out of the 3 that I interviewed that would not automatically remove our gutters and discard them which was a definite plus for us."

"They seemed very knowledgeable about roofs and explained in detail the repair process. They also responded and came back to redo some of the work I asked them to do. The end result was they fixed the leak. The price for the repair seemed like a lot, but in all honesty, I did not compare it to other companies. They also are committed to excellent customer service.;"

"Great metal roof installers, looks awesome and great price. The work was done with great quality."
