Dowd Roofing

I had an appointment for an estimate to repair a leaky roof. No one showed up or called. I tried to call and left a voice mail but no one responded.

Gary and his crew did an outstanding job in repairing our patio roof. Quality workmanship is their standard.

Excellent service. Friendly and responsible team.

I recommend them highly. They did a great job. He is booked constantly with the rain we have been having so people love him. At the time, because he said that the materials were going to go up and they did. He was real nice because he gave us the original contract that we agreed on because it was a few months that he started doing other peoples work and I didn't get him in time so it was months down the road. The materials went up because of the rain and the material places were raising the prices.

He is an honorable man! He stripped our roof down all the way down and did exactly what we wanted and more. Great employees, very clean and picked up very well. Great guy!

Gary Dowd was professional, timely and great to deal with. I had two major leaks in my roof. One on my house and one on my garage. Gary came out to look at it the week I called him, and the repairs were complete by the next week. I would definitely recommend Dowd Roofing.

This company is the most honest company I every deal with. He checked my roof and told my that I could do the repair my self. He took the time to show my son where the leak was most likely come from. He told me if that if the leak continues to call him. MY son went on the roof and repaired the leak. So far to good. I know who I am calling when I need a new roof. Laddies this is the company to call when you need a roof. .

Gary was polite and professional. He was on time for our meeting to look at our roof to provide an estimate. He was very detailed and gave clear explanation and recommendation. After considering two other roofing companies I went with Gary. He had a top notch crew who were thorough and meticulous. They sealed the external HVAC vent that leads to that section with a recommendation to have it sealed on a regular basis to prevent future leaks. They noticed a section of overhang that needed particular attention. They created a unique method to seal the area to ensure that water runoff would cause damage. They also recommended that the skylight be pulled and replaced due to rot and improper installation. The additional cost was solely the cost of the new skylight. How cool is that ? We have had heavy rains since the roof installation. Not one drip has entered the family room or leaked onto the patio. I referred him to my friend / neighbor next door for their entire roof. He did a GREAT job for them as well.

They did a very good job. They were very organized and always let me know what was going on.

We had a very large Canary Island Pine which dropped needles onto my roof and then they would get under the shingles. I had the tree removed and called Dowd to come out and inspect my roof to see if there was any damage done by the needles. He was there within a couple of hours, went up and checked the entire area, and said my roof was good for another couple of decades. Total charge: $00 If I ever need to have work on my roof done, I will definitely call Dowd and will refer them to all of my friends.

I would highly recommend Dowd Roofing. His crews were on time, cleaned up afterwards and took pride in their work. Gary took the time to help me select the right roof for my home taking into consideration, price, style, location and color. The new roof is stunningly beautiful and the minor repairs look great too. I was impressed that many of his employees have worked for him for 10-15 years, they took pride in their workmanship. If you are living in the house, the roofing process is messy, loud and can be overwhelming at times, working with Dowd Roofing alleviated many of the project's stressful parts. Gary was always clear about each step and what was to be expected.

I found Gary Dowd, owner of roofing company on Angie List. I paid $250 to Angie for a roof tune up. Within a few days Gary came out to my home. I asked Gary to let me know the condition of the roof because I had just purchased the house As-is - Gary provided a bunch of photos of the existing roof, broken tiles everywhere, a disaster for sure. Gary is the most NON-PUSHY contractor I've ever met and I have dealt with a bunch over the last 7 decades. I requested a bid and told him I'd think about it. Gary never called to bother me but i called him after checking with my contractor who is remodeling our home. My contractor said that the bid was extremely fair priced because the roofing material Gary proposed was expensive and figured Gary margin of profit was skinny at best. I signed the contract and Gary said job would begin first week in October and it would take two days. My home is 4 stories high. I couldn't believe how the crew got that old roof out and in trucks and hauled it away in half day. Then a crane came out to load the material. It was a sight to see. The entire crew totally professional. As promised Gary delivered the job right on time. I'm too old to get on any roof much less a four story but my contractor was up there and said it was a fine-fine job. I don't write reviews and I'm way late getting this one done but Gary deserves a fist full of stars for the job he did on my house. I recommend him without reservation whatsoever.

They contacted me within the two days as specified. We scheduled and they were on time for the appointment. They arrived and inspected my roof and advised that my roof was fine and didn't need any servicing at this time. The also advised that I needed to contact Angie's List for my full refund.

They were very courteous, and very punctual. Also, they were very professional, so I was very happy about that. I plan to use them in the near future for an entire roof replacement.

Awesome! I found my roofer. Ceiling leaking from last massive rain. He gave me a time for the next business day. He came out and let me explain where the leak inside and where I thought the leak was coming from on our tile roof. He went and looked and gave me a rate. An excellent rate. He setup a worker for the next morning. His man arrived on time and got to work and fixed not only the shifted tile but went the extra mile to clean up a couple other areas. I was impressed. We are thinking of getting the whole roof redone. If we do we will definitely go with this company!! It's difficult to find someone who will do a good job and will work hard. Thank you Dowd Roofing!

That was the first time that I used them. I liked that they came out and gave me an estimate, and completed the job within 48 hours. He was professional. We are getting ready to call him to back out and do some work on the roof, that he said we needed.

Gary's tear off crew showed up on time. They covered up areas around the house to avoid damage to plants. They completed the tear down within a few hours. They backed their truck up in the driveway and were able to remove most of the roof directly into the truck. What happened to fall off the roof was cleaned up. The roofing crew that showed up the next day completed the job in 3 days. They were very professional and hard working. Both the tear off crew and the roofing crew cleaned up, including rolling the lawn for nails numerous times. We wanted a contractor that was fully insured (many are not, or have minimal coverage). Gary provided us with a copy of his certificate of liability insurance. We also asked for and received a signed Conditional Waiver and Release upon final payment. There were no surprises in the cost and he did not require any up front payment, it was 100% payment due at completion of the work. I wanted to wait awhile before doing the review to see how the roof held up during winter rain storms. Although we have not had much rain this winter, there were a few heavy downpours and there have been no problems. I would highly recommend Dowd Roofing. Thank you Gary!

Garry and his team were right on schedule for the tear off and were finished and cleaned up that day. The new roof was installed the next day with no problems. Garry and his team were polite, courteous and efficient.

Gary Dowd (the owner) knows his business. He was punctual in arriving to give estimate. His crew was just as punctual, and worked steady throughout the 3 day plus job. Good crew, very skilled and knowledgable. .For those folks looking for a roofing company that does it right, they should seriously consider Dowd Roofing.

I called O'Dowd Roofing to give me an overall review of my roof as I have had some shingles sliding off. They arrived and took a look at a portion of the roof. They had concerns with the roof material and provided me with instructions on how to look into contacting the manufacturer of the roof. Unfortunately, the builder has been unresponsive in returning my calls or letters. O'Dowd Roofing said they would send back another employee by week's end.. This employee arrived on the date they said he would and obtained measured our roof so that a quote could be given to us. I received the quote within a few days. I believe the quote was reasonable and it was to have a complete tear off and reinstall of my composite roof. I do have a steep pitched roof. When all was said and done I chose to repair just the slipping shingles to get through this coming winter as I needed more time to save the money to pay for the roof upfront. I enjoyed my experience with O'Dowd Roofing and I am certain I will contact them in the near future to have to roof replaced.

He had a good pricing; he was actually slightly cheaper than the one we went with. He was good as well with the professionalism and everything; in fact, he was probably the most professional but I didn’t use his service. He quoted me a price $1000 cheaper than the one I went with, so his quote was $12000. He was very informative and taught me a little bit about the product. He was a nice guy and he was the cheapest. He uses the same stuff we went with and he uses good quality stuff. I can’t say how his installation would be because we never did it with him but I if I hadn’t gone with the one I did, I would have gone with Dowd. He showed up when he said he would, he was on time with the appointment and was informative. He had nice samples and everything to show.

Fast! Good price, nice roof, tearoff people (20) yes twenty, beat the cra* out of the old wood under roof. Price went up a little due to me not understanding he would need to replace 1" x "8's tear off folks beat up. Re Response: Yes extra was listed, I just didn't know there would be so much. I wish they would have been more careful, there is no complaint here! B is Very Good ... with a little room for improvement.

Dowd Roofing was responsive and showed up to perform the work as agreed. As far we can tell the leak has been repaired as we have had multiple rainy days since, and there is no evidence of a leak. I am disappointed however that I made two requests for a written summary of the work performed simply to maintain for my records and this has never been provided. The problem was verbally diagnosed, and it was apparent that the work was going to be performed by a qualified, trained roofer, so we authorized the work to be completed. There were a number of items addressed, and it was important to me to receive a report of the repairs performed for my own information and records. I do have record that payment was made, but would have appreciated if my request for a completed repair summary would have been provided. Dowd roofing is reasonably priced, does what they say they will do, and completed the work accurately. I still recommend Dowd roofing, but would recommend getting the detailed estimate in advance. UPDATE: I have changed my overall rating to A as I have since received the detailed report of the work completed. The original date on the report is 3/21/13 so we apparently had not received the original. Thank you Gary, we look forward to using your services again.

I can't remember whether I got him off Angie's List or out of the phone book. He is fantastic, and his prices are very fair. I think he gave me a discount because of the Angie's List and I am a senior. He is a very nice man. He took the time to explain to me, which is wonderful. A lot of people don’t take the time, because I like to know what's going on. When he explained in detail why it wasn’t working and why he could make a sealant permanently, I appreciated that. I am pleased with the overall results. The price was excellent. I had other people and their prices were out of whack and this one was what I could afford. He was here when he told me he was going to be here. I would absolutely use him again in the future.

Communication and coordination were great. At my request, they scheduled around my work schedule so that I could be around when they were working and had to reschedule several times due to bad weather. One time, there person got to the house and did a quick repair before it rained but didn't ask for any payment until they came back a month later and were able to finish the job. RECOMMENDED.
