My neighbor here in Chula Vista told me to check out CFR after they did a quick fix for her last summer and I am glad I listened. I had some flashing that was pulling away from the chimney and was worried about water getting into the attic during the next storm. They showed up when they said they would and just knocked it out without any drama or hidden fees. It is nice to find a local crew that just does what they say they are going to do.
I was really impressed with CFR I’ve dealt with contractors who disappear halfway through a job, but this team was different. They showed up exactly when they said they would and finished the entire tear-off and replacement in record time. The crew was respectful of our landscaping and did a thorough sweep for nails before they left. Our new roof looks sharp and the whole process was stress-free.
Cause of the rain our roof started to leak. We called up California First Roofing after reading great reviews. Lior came over and quoted the job the next day. We really liked that there were no hidden costs; we had received a few other quotes, but they felt less transparent and used cheaper products. Work started on time and was completed in just 3 days. The crew did a fabulous job, and everything was done with great attention to detail. Some of our gutter sections were tricky due to other structures, but they got them in perfectly. Nice job! Don't hesitate to call them!
My old roof was basically falling apart and I spent way too much time searching for a decent roofer near me before finding this team. They actually took the time to explain what was going on with the flashing and why I had those specific leaks. The crew worked hard all day and made sure to clean up all the old debris before they left. It feels good to have that checked off my home maintenance list finally.
I noticed a leak after the last big rain and started hunting for a team that wouldn't just give me a lowball estimate full of assumptions. This roofing team wasn't the cheapest bid I got, but they were definitely the most thorough, since they included things like fascia and plywood replacement in the initial quote. The crew moved incredibly fast from the contract phase to actually starting the work, and the guys on site were so tidy that the neighbors kept commenting on how clean the yard stayed. I ended up having them redo all my fascia boards and gutters too, and the white trim they installed totally changed the look of the house.
I noticed a couple of water spots on the ceiling after the last heavy rain and knew I couldn't put off a repair any longer. The crew was great about coming out quickly to tarp things off before they did the full tear-off. They were super efficient and actually took the time to explain why the venting needed to be upgraded, which made a lot of sense once they showed me the old attic setup. Everything looks sharp and I’m glad to have it done before the real winter weather hits.
I noticed some debris in my yard last week and realized a couple of shingles had actually come loose from my roof. I was worried about leaks so I called around and these guys were able to get someone out the next afternoon to take a look. The crew was super professional and just got straight to work replacing the missing pieces without trying to upsell me on a whole new roof. It is such a relief to have that checked off my list and the price was way more reasonable than I expected.
Our tile roof hasn't been looked at in years and living so close to the ocean in La Jolla means the salt air really beats everything up. The team came out and did a full inspection, cleared out all the debris that had built up in the valleys, and replaced a few cracked tiles I didn't even know were broken. The whole process was super smooth and they didn't leave a single scrap of trash behind in the yard. I’d definitely suggest reaching out to them if you want a crew that actually pays attention to the little details.
I had my roof replaced here in San Diego, and the experience was smooth from the first quote to final cleanup. The team communicated well, showed up on time every day, and handled the city inspection without any issues. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free roofing experience.
I hired this company for a complete roofing installation, and they absolutely delivered. From the first inspection, they were upfront about pricing and materials, and the crew worked efficiently without cutting corners. They finished faster than expected, and the new roof completely changed the look of my home. It feels more insulated, and I haven’t had a single issue since. Honest work, great communication, and solid results—couldn’t ask for more.
Clear estimate, professional crew, and they finished exactly when they said they would. Cleanup was spotless. We would absolutely recommend them to neighbors.
We had storm damage and they worked with our insurance and kept us informed the whole way. The crew was respectful of our property and the final inspection looked perfect.
Honest recommendations—no pressure. The new roof looks sharp and we have peace of mind.
