SHORT REVIEW: CALL HIM! LONG REVIEW: First big rain storm of 2021 and on Saturday at 3-4am, I discovered I had a roof leak! Called Emile based on other positive reviews on Sunday at 9am, not expecting an answer. He did and at 10AM he was at my house diagnosing the issue and fixed by 11ishAM. Turned out minor issue causing it even though leaking water in your house is a major thing. He could have made up any reason but gave honest assessment of a minor issue and what he charged was more than reasonable. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.

Thinking that I needed a new roof, I called Emile and he impressed me with his professionalism and honesty. He told me my roof had a few more years left. I truly appreciate his honesty and when I do need a new roof, he will be my go-to- roofer!!!!!

Emile is fantastic! We had a leak in our roof earlier this year and he managed to squeeze us in. When the job seems a little bigger than we thought he stayed late to get it done. Its been a very wet winter and have had zero problems since. Cost was very reasonable as well. Cant recommend enough!

Of course, our roof had to give us trouble during Thanksgiving! Emile was able to come out and help us do a temporary fix on Black Friday in the rain and followed up with me on Monday to do a permanent fix. His quote is very reasonable, compared to some other roofing companies who chart you close a grand for "emergency work order". We are all about supporting local business, and having someone like him who is so knowledgable about the neighborhood in San Carlos and who is so familiar with the old type of roof we have is a blessing! I will follow up once the permanent fix is completed.
