LA Rocque Better Roofs

About us

Our company history provides you with four generations of construction experience. It began in the early 1950’s when Guy La Rocque’s grandfather ran a successful steel and concrete company and, up until his un-timely death, Guy’s father owned and operated one of Southern California’s largest fence companies. Guy La Rocque acquired 100% ownership of La Rocque Bros Co. in 1979 and in 1981, changed the name to La Rocque Roofing. In 1984 the family decided to incorporate the company, hence the name change to La Rocque Better Roofs, Inc. Currently the company employs two generations of the La Rocque family with no intentions of stopping there. The reputation that we have built over the years is something we understand. It takes a great deal of effort and a daily dedication to our employees, clients, distributors, and manufacturers. We are constantly upgrading our company and looking toward the future. One of Guy’s philosophies is the only thing constant with our company is change. For him, this company is more than just a job, it is a hobby, a passion, and testimony of what was, what is and what will be. The La Rocque family considers themselves blessed and credits their success to God. Colossians 3:23-24 Visit Us online to request your free estimate: http://larocquebetterroofs.com/request-a-quote

They did a good job, and so far it hasn't paved in with the rain and it's doing okay. The guys who came out were very friendly. If I had a question they answered them, and I was satisfied with it. I don't know the price as my husband dealt with that. I haven't had any problems with the quality of work. Every time we called them they called right back. They were very good about letting us know what time they were going to be showing up, and if they were going to be late they would call or they would let us know. They were definitely professional.

Roof is still leaking at skylights and other locations. Roof tech from LaRoque came and said skylights and nails were the problem. The gentleman 'repaired' the problems, but the roof leaked worse than before. Project mgr Dennis came out and blamed the skylight manufacturer and leaky skylights, had his crew caulk with silicone seal. If we assume the skylights themselves are not leaking, WHY IS MY ROOF STILL LEAKING in the same way and at the same spots as before I had the roof replaced? I've called at least three times requesting someone come out and give me estimates to remove the skylights, fix the roof leaks. I will pay for this service but NO ONE RETURNS MY CALLS. The warranty on this job has long expired and I'm pretty clear they think I'm a nuisance and are disinterested in my business. I will now have to pay for another roof. Does anyone besides me feel like I've been had???

From the very beginning I was impressed by the Keith. He not only arrived on time, but took the extra time needed with me to explain what had to be done to replace the areas in question. His price range was in the upper middle of the 5 quotes that I received for the job. I decided to go with Keith due to the impression I was given that I would not just be "another job." Mty impressions were verified throughout the project. The time required for the job went beyond the estimate due to some unforeseen difficulties. I was always given the impression that it was more important to finish the job to Keith's and to my satisfaction then worrying about the 5 hours more that it would take to do the work. The workmanship that was done is some of the best that I have seen and Keith will be coming back to work on my patio in the near future. I have recommended Bear Flag Construction to several of my neighbors for work that needs to be done on their homes.

We were satisfied with the services and the work. I thought they did the job quickly and it looks good. They cleaned up well afterwards. I'm pleased with the work. The only thing I didn't like was that they missed the first date that they had proposed to do the work however there was a significant wind storm that had just occurred and I think that delayed them.

I made an appointment for an estimate. Mr. Henderson arrived at the date and time agreed on. Mr. Henderson gave me his card. I explained the job to Mr. Henderson. Mr. Henderson talked to me about a rock roof. Mr. Henderson then told me he would email an estimate to me and he began to examine the work area. Mr. Henderson left about 15 to 20 minutes later and I never heard from him or the company again.

One team came out the first morning and removed all old materials in less than another. Second team came out the same day and replaced bad wood. Project was held up a couple of days waiting for the city inspector, but following this the roofing team worked one long day and completed everything.

They came out and gave us an estimate. They did a good job, but I still got other quotes. The other people that came told us right away that our roof was pretty good and we wouldn't even need a new roof for another 7-10 years. All we needed was a repair on the portion that was leaking and the diamond line edging just needed a tune up.

I really liked them. They were very professional. They took pictures of what they were going to fix and it was whole kind of portfolio of what needed to be done and how much it would cost. So I really liked that. The work was done in a timely manner and I was really happy with that. I liked that they were very professional and just that they took pictures to show what they were doing. I did recommend them to one of my friend.

Their price was a little on the high side. It was $1600. They were punctual. Before they left, they cleaned everything up. They made sure everything was done right. Their followup was good. I would use them again in the future if needed.

The price was reasonable and the work was well done. Workers were professional and thorough. The only negative was with the communication. They were not proactive in letting us know when they would be on-site. Some work had to be rescheduled due to weather but there was no communication as to when they would return.

I went to the company to ask questions and understand the processes that It would take to install a roof. All my questions were answered and I was given additional information I didn't know to ask. I was very satisfied with this company and I would recommend then to anyone who needed a roof.

Great job and I would recommend LaRocque Roofing every time. Demo started one day, roof was on in a couple of days, Hardly any trash was left (staples continue to pop up in my back yard)

The reality was that the leak in the roof was really due to the glazing in the skylights. After I complained about my roof still leaking (10 months+ after completion of the job) the project manager came out at least two more times over the next year to investigate (loved this!) He eventually did tests to determine that the leak problem was the skylights and had his guys apply window glazing after a year of hearing me complain about the leaks. I appreciated his patience and continuing to work with me even when it turned out not to be the roofing.

B rating on responsiveness was partially me as I called frequently so I probably made it onto the 'Pest' list.

Did a good job although contract was a little hard too understand to determine final cost since condition of sheet plywood under roof could not be pre-determined .

He came out, and did the walk through. He did all the measurements. He was good. We haven't received the price yet. When my husband talked to him, he was out here within two days. His punctuality was excellent.

They responded to my inquiry the next day. The estimate was complete, professional, and extremely thorough. It included a diagram of the areas they were going to fix which was very helpful. They started earlier in the day than they indicated (which was fine). Paid in cash and received additional 10% discount. Would definitely hire them again.

I spent about $1497 on that service. The job was pretty good and I got through with talking with them yesterday because they were supposed to send me the invoice when the job was completed. I had to call the office and I finally got it in the mail today. Another thing was that they were supposed to give me 24 hours advance notice before coming out to work. Instead, they called me at 6:30 in the morning to find out if it was okay to come that day. They said that they called someone else by mistate to give advance notice so they felt it was okay to call at 6:30 a.m. on the day they wanted to work. I felt that they should have waited and made the appointment for another day instead of trying to come in on the day that they messed up.

They had a fairly reasonable price and they are doing what they said they would do. I can’t think of anything that they need to improve upon. They are very professional and I like them.

Actually there wasn't enough water damage to replace any wood. In the end they just added tiles where tiles had been blown off or cracked. We needed someone to plug the holes in the roof. We were worried that there might have been some water damage. They did the work, and it turned out fine. My wife and mother-in-law were not home when the work was done. What impressed them was that the estimate was very comprehensive. They made a map of all the problem areas that they were going to fix. There were other companies that were cheaper, but they felt that this one was the most professional.

A person came out to inspect. He then gave me a very detailed estimate. I did not follow through with them. I did not choose them because I got a better estimate from another company.
