Cert-A-Roof ? ? Roof Inspections & Certifications

Owner came out charged extra to Temporary cover roof until she was able to get to the job in the rainy season and never showed up or called back after giving the quote.

Paul Waltrous and Cert-A-Roof did our initial inspection when we bought our house.  His inspection and quote were very detailed and professional.  We went with them to make the repairs and they really did some nice work.  It only took them a day and the work was very high quality.  I would recommend them without hesitation.

In the process of buying a duplex and needed a roof inspection ASAP. Paul Watrous and Cert-A-Roof were quick, professional, patient, gave clear communication about what was wrong and what needed to be done. The were very knowledgeable, reliable and I'd use them again.

When we received an unexpected notice from our insurance company to replace our roof with a somewhat short time table we chose Cert-A- Roof because they had been in business for a long time and were a member of NRCIA. Les Watrous and his son responded promptly. They inspected our beloved 30 year old shake roof and confirmed that it needed to be replaced. He gave us a detailed estimate, which, based on previous estimates, was fair and reasonable. He helped us to choose a very attractive roof and made special scheduling  arrangements to ensure that we would meet our insurance company deadline. His roofers were hard working, very skilled and personable. No loud music, even during lunch breaks. They thoroughly cleaned up every day. They completed the job as promised. We had great confidence that they would do an excellent job from the moment I met Les and his son, and that confidence was well placed. The roof looks great. We don't miss our shake roof like we thought we would.  I highly recommend Cert-A-Roof.

I just had the roof replaced on my new home in Garden Grove. This is the second roof I've had done by Cert-A-Roof (Les and Paul Watrous and crew). We did our mountain home roof last year.  I couldn't be more impressed with this company. They came out right on time to do the inspections and provide the bids and the work was done exactly on the days specified in exactly the way specified. 
My new roof is so beautiful and top quality, I have neigbors I've never met stopping by to tell me how great it looks.
Great value, great people, great experience!

The moment I was introduced to Les Watrous of Cert-A-Roof, I knew that I would no longer have to struggle to find a good roofer for my clients.  Les is the most dependable, honest and accurate service provider I have had the pleasure of meeting.  He comes on time, prepares a thorough report and has it to me within hours.  He saves the deal with his calm and patient manner and offers recommendations that make my clients feel comfortable with their new home purchase.  Whenever my company sends out an email blast asking if any of their Realtors knows of a good roofer, I immediately stop everything and send them Les' information.  If you hire Les, you will immediately know that you are in good hands and have met a knew friend.

Paul was courteous and efficient. He let me know he would be 10 minutes late, he got on with the job and was sure to explain everything in a clear concise way. His inspection report arrived in my inbox less than 2 hours after job completion. Thoroughly impressed.

Paul Watrous and Cert-A-Roof are the only roofing company we trust to represent our clients homes. We sell coastal real estate up to $30,000,000 and there is absolutely no one more honest and knowledgeable. Thanks for all your hard work Paul.

Hired Cert A Roof to inspect my 21 year old roof. The inspector was very professional, courteous, and attentive to details. The roof, attic, ceilings, eves etc. were gone over and pictures taken for the written report. The inspector explained his findings and various options to us. We were put under no pressure to have their own company do the repairs. I received their written report by e-mail a few hours after the inspector departed. I recommend them.

My wife and I bought a house and had Paul come out to do an inspection on a patio roof cover that a previous owner had installed.  Good thing we did!  The patio roof had not been done correctly, and there were several other issues with our new home's roof area.  Thankfully, Paul and his crew were able to demolish the unpermitted roof and make all the necessary repairs.  The Certa-A-Roof team was fantastic about fitting us in their schedule, getting the work done quickly and efficiently, and they even went above and beyond by sending my wife flowers who had been in the hospital with some health complications.  I can't express strongly enough my recommendation to choose Cert-A-Roof for your roof demo/repair needs.  Paul and his team are great, trustworthy, and we will use them again in the future if we ever need to.

I was super stressed about calling for roof repairs. Well all that stressing out was in vain because Paul came to the rescue.

We both got on the roof and he explained in detail what needed to be done. He even pointed out other non roof issues that I should address like the crack in my chimney.  I am on a tight budget and he did all the work within my budget.  On the day of repair, his crewman was respectful and cleaned up after the job.

Do not hesitate calling Cert-A-Roof.  Paul, finding you was a Godsend!

I had a home in escrow held up waiting for a roof certification. I called numerous roofers and couldn't get the work done in a timely  manner. I finally found Cert-a-roof. Wish I had called them first, they're professional, easy to work with and prompt. Paul gave me a quote, did the inspection a few days later, informed me clearly on the status of the roof and completed the job quickly.

Fabulous customer service! Called today, needed a roof inspection done today - Les was super accommodating. Paul showed up and was amazing - great customer service, very professional, friendly and compared to other companies I reached out to- they were very reasonable. Would highly recommend.

Les was very compassionate and helpful! I purchased a home and wanted a thorough inspection of the roof (per my inspection recommended).  Les came out in two days, completed a thorough inspection with pictures.  He applied half the cost of my inspection towards the cost of repairs.  He had two VERY HARD workers come out and complete all repairs within 3 days. Upon request, Les came back to confirm all repairs were made properly.  He noticed some faulty work some other guys did when I had the asbestos removed AND EVEN had his guys come back and even fix them for me!!!  I can sleep comfortably knowing my roof has been well maintained and taken care properly! Les and Cert-A-Roof are the way to go for all of your roof necessities!

I contacted this company after looking at reviews online. I needed a roof certification for a mortgage. I spoke with Les, the owner and arranged for the inspection. Paul came out to the house and inspected the roof and informed me that he could not certify the roof due to it being in poor shape. He showed me photos of the areas he was concerned with and explained that the roof really needed to be replaced. I asked for a quote and he told me he would send the official report and the quote that evening. He followed up as he said. I spoke with him the next day and he indicated that I could probably find a roofing company that would do the job cheaper but would not give the warranty that Cert-A-Roof does. I checked with a few other companies and found that Paul was correct in this. My wife and I made the decision to have Cert-A-Roof do the job. We had a tight timeline and Paul made sure that we met it. The crew that came out to do the job were professional and did their work in a timely and clean manner. They also completed the work one day sooner than projected. They also went above and beyond in the fact that one of the men came back to finish some paint touch he felt he missed. I did not request this. This shows me that this is a company that takes pride in their work and the final result shows that. I have been involved in construction for most of my life and for several years was an ICC Certified construction inspector, so I know good work when I see it. I can highly recommend Cert-A1Roof for all of your needs. Paul and Les were both informative and professional. If I ever have any other roofing issues Cert-A-Roof will be the ONLY call I will make.

Paul was exceptional. We were in escrow and very few companies are willing to inspect and certify a roof on a home that is in escrow (liability reasons). Paul was extremely professional, responsive, and knowledgable about roofing. Most importantly, he is honest. He will tell you what the roof needs, how much he would charge to do the work, but also that you might be able to shop it around for better pricing. But going with Cert-A-Roof may just be worth slightly higher pricing because they have been in the roofing business for more than just one generation. They really know their stuff and would do quality work that lasts. They follow the regulations and legal codes strictly and don't cut corners. For roofing work, it's not worth the risk of hiring someone who may cut corners.

Paul showed up on time for an inspection, and he was very kind. He explained all the issues, showed pictures, and he was very patient when he was answering our questions. 

They have sent the report at promised time. Great service at all. Definitely will work with him again. 

After reviewing the inspection report of the home my husband I are purchasing, it required further inspection on the roof. My husband and I do not want to move in a home that looks perfect in the inside but can cause us a huge expense in the future. I started to look online for certified roof inspectors and came across Cert-A-Roof, I called and Les answer immediately, we were able to schedule the appointment over the phone. He did not charge me until the day of the inspection which was great. I'm glad I found Les to do the inspection. He was honest, and very knowledgeable. He took his time to explain what needed to be done on the roof, and he gave me options in case I wasn’t able to pay for it. In our case, we are going to negotiate with the seller and have him repair the roof. Thank you Les for being detail and pointing out everything that needed to be fixed! I 100% recommend this company.
