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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Response from Dowd Roofing
"the substright damage is average for that size of roof with a three layer tear off , one being a solid mopped hot tar and rock roof , this information is not visable until the roof is torn off , the extra charge is listed in the proposal/ contract. we have no choice but to remove all the roofing materials to satisfy the city code and inspector,."
