Sonshine Roofing were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. I got 4 estimates and Sonshine was the only contractor that went up on my roof and thoroughly inspected it. They found a lot of wind damage that I didn't even know I had. They had me call my insurance company and they got it covered under my policy. The only thing I paid , was my deductible. They even installed a solar powered attic fan and I cannot believe how much cooler my attic is already. Nathan and his crew are first rate. I would not recommend anybody else.

We have used Sonshine roofing for several years, both on our own home (tile) and with rental properties (shingle). Prior to this year, we were very happy with them. This year, we had a leak develop in the corner of our laundry room. Sonshine came out and fixed it, at a cost of $4800. We repainted the ceiling, and about 2 months later, saw leakage again, in the same place on the ceiling. We called them out again, and a different serviceman came. He said there was a second leak, about 2 feet away from the first one, and from the staining on the wood, he could tell it was an old leak, not a brand new one. He told us they should have noticed it before. Sonshine wanted to charge us another $700 to fix this second leak. Since they removed all of the tile in an area at least 10 feet across, which encompassed the area of both leaks, we did not understand how there could be continued leaking from a place 2 feet away, if the work had been done properly. We felt the repair should have been covered under the warranty of their work. We wrote a letter and even met with the owner to complain about being charged again for something that should have been addressed when that section of the roof was repaired. He refused to repair it without us paying again. He recommended we replace our roof, at a cost of $80,000. Since then, we have gotten estimates from other roofing contractors that are about $20,000 less.
Response from Sonshine Roofing

"We are truly sorry to hear that you are disappointed with our service. From our very first visit to your home and on later visits, we advised that the roof needed to be replaced. We explained that the underlayment below the roof tiles was deteriorating and with the underlayment in such poor condition, more leaks would turn up. Another important factor that we discussed with you is the radiant barrier in the attic that makes it very difficult to see where all the leaks and problems are stemming from. Our Roofing Specialists had covered the leak risks associated with keeping the old roof as well as the financial benefit of replacing rather than repairing in your situation. Wanting to be of service to you, we accepted your decisions to repair rather than replace the roof. With regard to comparing roof replacement estimates from other companies against the cost of a SonShine roof, we would have gladly measured your roof, talked with you about material options, and provided you with a firm estimate had you wanted one. Instead, we were asked what a ballpark figure might be without measuring or having your materials chosen and priced out. We wish you the best, SonShine Roofing"

Horrible experience. I have never encountered such an unprofessional company. The foreman on the job gave us one cost for the additional wood that he and his crew were installing and the invoice came back 4 x the estimate. The owners response was his foreman should have never given us the estimate. However our reply was that he shouldn't have been the foreman. Next during the hurricane we lost one shingle on a brand new roof of less than 30 days old. The company refused to reattach without us paying over $100.00. Yet our neighborhood received zero damage from the storm and other houses in the development have roofs over 20 years old and never lost one single. This was a workmanship issue and should have been replaced at zero cost. The owner is a cranky greedy man and needs to retire. We paid a premium price for what we thought was a reputable company and got ripped off. Lesson learned and I will never recommend this company.
Response from Sonshine Roofing

"To clarify, the wood charges mentioned were only an estimate of the in progress costs of where work had been completed up to that point. As for the services requested post hurricane, our workmanship warranty does not cover roof damages done by acts of nature or any other situations outside of our control. We are not able to provide free repairs in such cases. However, as stated, we would cover issues that we find to be due to workmanship errors if that be the case. Service was ultimately declined."

The job started exactly when we wanted it to. We were informed of the progress on a daily basis. The workers were friendly and hard working since the temperature on the roof was very high. Nathan and Bill were great to work with. The end result is a beautiful, warrantied roof that prevents any access into the attic by local critters (i.e, rats), etc. The vents are now properly covered, the solar vents keep the attic "cooler" (and are tax deductible), the microwave vent is now the proper type (the old one was not the correct one). and the warranties are terrific. The old roof was 20 years old (so we were worried about leaks) but now we have piece of mind with a solid and long lasting roof. We are joining the roof club which gives you a yearly roof inspection and gutter(s) cleaning. A roof by far is the number one expense for home repair so having it examined yearly is the smart play. Oh, and my neighbors are impressed with the final result. So, hands down, this is the Company to hire to install a new roof.

It went very well. We met- the representative was on time, completed his work quickly and he took the time to clearly discuss his findings. He was helpful in offering us realistic options for roof replacement.

We have had Sonshine do two previous repair jobs on our roof, so when it came to choosing a company to replace the roof, there was no question that we wanted to use Sonshine.  They are honest and upstanding.  They let you know what all of your options are and don't try to sell you things you don't need.  They work with a local distributor who helped us pick out a color.  They gave us addresses of places that had the roof colors we were considering so that we could drive by and see what the finished product looked like.  From start to finish, it was a good experience.  You can probably get cheaper, but we wanted to work with a reputable company who has been in the area for years and who will be here in the future.  Thanks Nathan and Bill.  Our roof looks wonderful!

They didn't do any work for us. They were good people, but we chose another company to do our roof. They were right in line with price.

They cleaned the roofs and the gutters. It went pretty good except he made a mess of the pool. Other than that, it was okay.

Response from Sonshine Roofing

"[Member Name Removed], It was a large surprise to read your report on Angie’s List. We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. Frankly, we had no idea. What did we miss? After reviewing our records, we show no contact from you stating your dissatisfaction or that you were not happy with the work and everything we did for you. We also checked with our team that worked with you and none of them recall you expressing any note of dissatisfaction. Our records show we completed only one roof repair for you in 2012, not 2013. Is it possible that we were confused with someone else? Either way, we are sorry for your disappointment. In addition, we have left a voice message at the phone number we have on file for you. We would appreciate the chance to talk with you to see how we can resolve this issue."

Response from Sonshine Roofing

"We are sorry to hear that you are unsatisfied and that you feel disappointed with our service. Sonshine was first called to your home for a repair estimate in 2013. After our roofing specialist evaluated your roof, it was his professional recommendation that your roof be replaced not only for the best benefit to your home, but also to your finances. At that time, and with each additional call made to your home, you insisted on repairing rather than replacing your roof. Subsequently, and as we advised might happen given the age and condition of your roof, you have needed roofing service many times over the past few years to repair multiple leaks that have emerged. When we find a spot that is clearly causing a leak, we repair it. However, repairing that spot does not guarantee that the roof is not leaking in a separate location which has been hidden under the roof tiles and been camouflaged by a different leak. For this reason, roof repairs such as these are often made through a process of elimination. As you know, on each visit to your home, we did in fact find additional roof problems that needed repair. We are grateful that you are in the position to follow our recommendation to have your roof replaced. We wish you the best. Regards, Amos Borntreger, President Sonshine Roofing."
