Western Roofing Systems

SCAM alert!!! I had previously given this company an "A" rating for the installation of my roof in October of 2012. One of the selling points of getting a steel roof through Western Roofing is that they offered me a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship. Just five years later, I had a major leak in the roof. I called Western Roofing and was told that the number for the Sacramento offices were disconnected. I then got a list of Western Roofing's other offices. I contacted their main office in Anaheim and was told that someone would call me back. I had to continue to call their offices for several days but I finally got a call back on the forth day. A contractor was sent to my house to look at my roof. After a brief inspection, he told me that I had a hole in one of the tiles that was causing the leak. He also told me that there are many nails on my roof that did not make contact with the wood and that the metal tiles were very loose. He said that he would need to fix the bad tile and then put screws in place to fix the loose areas. Total cost would be about $1,500. I told him that I had a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship. He then told me that my "lifetime warranty" was with the contractor that installed my roof, who has since gone out of business. He explained that "Western Roofing" is just a marketing name that other contractors work under. He himself was a representative of Western Roofing, but was actually from California Cool Roofing. I then called the main Anaheim office again and spoke with Cory Frost. Cory is actually the brother of Kevin Frost, the person who sold me the roof in 2012. Cory again explained that, even thought I had done business through Western Roofing, my warranty was with his brother and his brother went out of business. He said that Western Roofing would not honor the warranty. When I continued to press the issues, Cory eventually stopped returning my calls. I also attempted to get a written estimate from California Cool Roofing, who also stopped returning my calls and never sent me anything in writing. At all times during my conversations in 2012, I was told that I was doing work with "Western Roofing". I never was told that I was doing business with Kevin Frost directly nor that my "lifetime warranty" would be honored only by Kevin Frost. I've since had another roofer come out and repair my roof. This cost me over $2,000 out of my own pocket, since I have no warranty. The new roofer identified several leaks, including areas where the nails were put in at incorrect angles. Do not do business with Western Roofing systems! They do not honor their Warranties, do not care about their customers and install roofs that will have major leaks in less than five years!!!

Installation looked good, but had some leaks immediately and lots of garbage left in gutters. Now 9 rears later there are about 10 leaks. We were told that Western will not cover the warranty. The roofing company sent to investigate the problems say that the material was installed incorrectly so cannot be repaired without replacing or without coating a sealant over the entire roof. It is hard to believe that a company can do such poor work and refuse to warranty the work and remain in business!

The good: Owner Kevin Frost was professional during the roofing replacement. His crew dropped nails into my pool which ended up staining the bottom. Mr. Frost did work with me to cover the cost of getting the pool resurfaced since the stains couldn't be removed. The bad: 1- The owner tried up upcharge me for services that were already in the original quote (replacing wood that had rotted - I pointed this out during our original meeting when he said he would honor the quote). He agreed to include these in the original quote which was over $33k for a 2400 sq foot house. Although it did cost me, I don't like trying to be baited and switched. 2- I'm now having leaks on a house with a brand new roof and despite having a 10 year warranty, the company is not taking calls, or answering email. STAY AWAY FROM WESTERN ROOFING - THEY OVERCHARGE FOR SERVICES AND DO NOT HONOR THIER WARRANTIES.

Very professional crew, great communication, excellent service, the price was less or similar to the other bids we received. We have a flat roof (think industrial buildings) so it required a specialized crew that was very busy so it took 4 weeks after we signed the contract to get on the schedule (we were told this from the start). During that time a period of heavy rains was forecast. I called George, our salesman, and he arranged to have John, the crew chief, come by to do a temporary repair after hours on a Friday evening. This was two weeks before our job was scheduled to begin. We were not billed for the extra service. Our deposit check was not cashed until the work began and no additional money was asked for until the job was done and passed the final city inspection. In a roof-over deck panels are replaced as needed and billed separately ($85 for each panel). I am not sure but believe we had between 3 and 5 panels replaced. The charges for all of the replacement panels was waived and we were charged and paid the original contract price.

Dealing with them was a total nightmare!!! Beware of Western Roofing!!!! Look elsewhere to find an honest roofer.

Great. They had a good crew and I will recommend them for roofing. I am satisfied with their work.

Performed as expected.  Sales rep responsive and professional.  Workers courteous and professional.  Timing as promised.  Beautiful result ahead of schedule.  Salvador is an excellent foreman.  Thanks, Guys.

After getting quotes from various vendors, Western Roofing's quote was very solid and it seems like they have done many of the houses in the neighborhood. The work was done on time and everything looked good after the roof was replaced.

They did a great job on the roof. They are hard workers. The foreman was Adam Z was excellent to work with. However make sure your driveway is strong enough to take the weight of their heavy equipment.

All is well that went well.

Very professional, i was explained in detail what needed to be done. The project did not move forward unless i gave the ok to replace any missing or damaged wood.

We contacted Western Roofing after exhaustive research about types of roofing, visits to home shows, and visits to roofing suppliers. The salesman was knowledgeable and provided us with answers to all our questions. Their workmen were prompt, completed the job in 5 work days, were personable, and professional and left the site clean every day. The roof is lightweight, can be walked on and looks better than any other similar roof we've seen.

They did a good job. They did use a product (TyVec) that was not approved for this county and it took months for the inspector to write it off. San Joaquin county is not up to code on new products.

The job went very well. They estimated it would take 6 days to complete work and job was completed in that time frame.
They quickly addressed any concerns I had and kept us updated on progress. They did a very good job and even touched up the facia while they where installing roof. With the amount of work done, they did a very good job keeping worksite clean.

They are a good company to deal with. They are great. It is a family-owned operation. He was an older gentleman and he was really nice. I just met him, but when the staff came out to fix everything then they did an A-1 work. It was a little expensive, but it was worth it.

In May 2013 we selected Western Roofing Systems to install a Metro Shake metal roof and gutters and downspouts on our 2,600 square ft. home in preparation for a new SunPower PV Solar system to be installed by ProVoltz Solar located in Campbell, CA.
We had secured a couple of bids to make sure we were getting a competitive price.
Our existing roof was a 24-year-old heavy shake roof. The tear-off crew total removed our old shake roof in a little over one hour. They cleaned up the yard and left no mess. We were impressed.
The Western roofing crew installed our new Metro stone coated metal roof in only 3 days, including the tear off and worked very close with the ProVoltz solar installation crew. Special roof mounts had to be installed to accept the new PV solar panels.
We were somewhat skeptical about how a metal roof would look like on our home, as we really liked the heavy shake look. We wanted a roofing system that would out last us and a new heavy shake would not (we hope).
Our new Metro (50 year+-) roof looks as close to a heavy wood shake roof as you can get without it being a wood shake
roof and it’s fire proof.
We are very happy with the look and the service we got from Western Roofing Systems and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering a premium metal roofing system and gutters. Western was very responsive and competitively priced.

All tiles on the roof are back in place. The crew that came out to do the work were very friendly and professional.

It was an excellent experience.

Western Roofing Systems was recommend to us by a general contractor. Our home is 40 years old and the spanish tile roof needed to be replaced because the paper under the tiles had disintigrated to pulp. and quot;Skiand quot; was our first contact with them. He came out and inspected the roof and provided an estimate of multiple choices. We opted to have the roof entirely replaced. Ski was very professional, knowledgeable, punctual and friendly. The crew came out as expected and started right away. Awesome workers!! They knew their business!! Obviously, they were very experienced and did a phenominal job!!!!! Always arrived on time, always cleaned up at the end of the day, worked hard all day!!! The owner of the company, John, and Andy and Roy (foremen) came out daily to check on the job and sometimes multiple times during the day. These gentlemen were exceptional also!! They took the time to explain different steps during the job, what to expect when, and stayed true to their schedule of completion.
The finished job is absolutely excellent!!!
Very professional, honest, knowledgeable friendly people from the first contact to the owner, foremen, and actual installers.
We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome!!!
For those of you who are not familiar with the specifics of such an endeavor of replacing your roof (or for that matter, replacing only a portion of your roof or finding a leak), I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!!!! They will make you feel at ease and do an exceptional job for you!!!
