Vasquez Roofing, they are clean, professional, reliable and do an incredible job. Customer service is outstanding, they stay in touch and let you know exactly what is going on. Prices are very competitive. Excellent in all ways. We would not use anyone else!!!

What kind of roof is it? Pitched or flat, shingled, tar & gravel, clay tiles? I've had good and bad experiences with roofers here in SB and brought up from LA, and I think some are better at certain types of roofs than others.

Tower roofing

It's a pitched roof with a valley section. Shingled. Not that old! Sooo frustrating. We know the valley section was not done well last time around but were hoping it would hold out another year. This new leak doesn't appear to be from the valley though....

Action Roofing. They do what they say they'll do, show up on time and clean up after themselves.

East Side Roofies. They are discrete and their pills dissolve quickly.

Tower Roofing has helped us out when we've had leaks. For a new roof, we had trouble keeping Lammer Roofing accountable, but they were the cheapest.

I wish more of these referrals were from subscribers who had handles. How do we know these aren't the same folks posting two or three times for the same business?

I have had good experiences with Jack Martin at Action Roofing. I have a really weird leak on a relatively new roof and they are really trying to help me find it and fix it. We'll get there I am sure. They show up on time once they say they are coming. A real plus!

I also can highly recommend Quality Roofing. Do youself a favor and at least get a bid from Quality. They did a complete re-roof for me in August with Presidential shingles and were the lowest bid and did a great job on time as promised. I have no connection other than as a satisfied customer.

Daren Ferguson's Black Gold Roofing was fantastic. Great crew and extra care. Contain your animals, the pounding scares them.

And yet another vote for Action Roofing - Their work is fabulous and they are honest - Ask for Jack! (and he's been in the biz forever...)

Ed Usher owns Mission Roofing and is one of the best roofing companies used be most of the top builders here in SB.
Have you had a Roof inspection to determine if you really need a new one? or maybe just repairs?

After several roofing companies failed to put a leak proof roof on our flat roof garage, we hired Home Depot. They did a great job and it has now been many years with no more leaks.

Beware Tunnel Roofing, they did poor work for us and wouldn't honor their "guarantee."

Joel's Roofing did quality work but we were very unhappy with how the contract was handled. Joel insisted on frequent progress payments, with assurances that we were still within the original proposed cost. By the time we realized we were going to be significantly over budget, it was too late to back out. Even if we assume the additional costs were justified (I am not a roofer, I don't know), we ended up paying way more than we had budgeted, without Joel ever acknowledging the escalating costs. Get a fixed bid and examine every progress bill carefully!!

I have to agree with the comment by 870 re: Joel's Roofing. The price was fair and the work was well done, but Joel (whom I never met in person) wanted DAILY payments (for a relatively inexpensive job (approx. 4K total, over 3 days). Most contractors present their bill when the job is complete, unless it's fairly long or involved, and if periodic payments are going to be done it is agreed on ahead of time. He also charged me for materials that were originally included in the installation. Legally he is within his rights as a contractor to do this, but it seemed very paranoid and left a bad taste. Also, he never mentioned verbally ahead of time that he would be doing this--instead, he had one of his workers show up first thing to knock on the door and ask for a check. So altogether, I wasn't nearly as happy as I could have been, and next time I will choose a different contractor.

When it comes to roofers in Santa Barbara, I always recommend Derrick's Roofing to my friends. They've treated me fairly and always delivered on time and under budget. They're trustworthy and have a long history in the community.
Highly Recommend them!
