David of Arizona's Finest Roofing is the person to talk to if you need any input regarding the condition of your roof.
I had concerns that the roof of our home had extensive issues and needed some pretty big repairs. I had several Roofing professionals come out to bid on an evaluation and estimate of repairs. I was a bit disappointed that each and every one of the 3 companies I had selected (will not mention them by name as this is NOT a review of them) came out...and were here less than half an hour...and only one of them even WENT UP ON THE ROOF.
So...I had little faith that any of them had actually had any concern about the actual condition of the roof and they only wanted to up sell service to me. The lowest bid was $8200...and that was work I have no clue how they could have actually quantified as that particular contractor never even went onto the roof! Then, one random Tuesday morning I noticed that my neighbor, whom I have known for more than 11 years, had a roofer over at his home doing some repair on his patio. Sometimes the best endorsements are the ones you don't seek, but are given freely without you knowing. My neighbor knew that I was interested in getting my roof checked...and he came over and said If anyone's going to give you what you're looking for...it's David... and he points at the guy up on his roof.
Thinking little of it, as I was still reeling a little bit about the idea that would have to sink $8000+ into my roof based on some ground level visual inspection of my home, I made note of the recommendation and didn't think much more of it. Two days later, late in the afternoon, I was pulling up into my driveway after work and noticed that the roofer was finishing up across the street. So I decided to take a chance and see what this guy would say about coming back out sometime and checking out my roof. I had already surrendered to the fact that he probably say yeah, call the office and schedule something, and I'll come out and give you a quote., so I walked over the truck where he was loading stuff. I introduced myself and explained briefly that I had some leaking inside the house and wanted to see about finding and resolving the issue. He said, sure, let me finish up here...and we can chat. 20 minutes later, he's at my door...and spends the NEXT HOUR AND A HALF talking to me then climbing up on my roof, thoroughly inspecting EVERY FLASHING, EVERY EDGE, EVERY JOINT/JUNCTION on my roof. He took took pictures, removed a few loose tiles to check the underlay of the rook...and then, after all that, spent another 30 minutes going over everything he had seen, discovered, identified.
I didn't need $8000+ in materials...I didn't need 3-4 days of labor. He quoted ~$2500 worth of labor and materials, was done in a day, and took the time to show me before, during and after what he was doing.
I don't know the other guys that work at AFR...but I really don't need to. David is, and always will be, my roofing guy. If you have any questions, comments or concerns he listens...and takes the time to answer. He cares about what he's doing...and it shows in the work he does. You are making a mistake if you don't at least call AFR and ask for David to come out and check out your roof. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the service I have received from AFR and David!
