Superior Foam Roofing

Rick is as honest they come.  I asked him to quote a repair to a foam roof (put on just two years ago) on our small commercial property.  The last roofing contractor currently has five complaints with the licensing board, lawsuits piling up, and a revoked license (for shoddy work).  They're now out of business.

Rick was able to come out the same day, find our leak, and patch it gratis.  He really felt for our situation.  There are scumbag contractors out there only looking to make a buck.  Rick is not one of those guys.  He wants to provide value for his work.  He wants to know that the customer got everything they paid for and then some.  He even sent me pictures of his repair job without me asking him to.  I insisted on paying him but he insisted this one is on him.  You can tell a lot about his character in that act.  He took the time to drive to our property, climb up onto the roof, find the leak, climb down to get tools and materials, climb back up to repair shoddy work done by another contractor, and then tell us it's on him.  All I can say to that is, WOW!  Rick is definitely the roofing contractor we'll be calling for all of our future needs!

Very upsetting. I electively choice to get foam roofing due to recommendations from experts. I chose Superior Foam Roofing due to the high reviews.

I was able to contact Rick and he was receptive in the beginning. He came by and did his evaluation, gave me a fair price, and told me I had a five year warranty on my new foam roof.

I've been having issues with leaks. I contacted him to come by to evaluate it. His other coworker came by in March or so, looked around and left. I was never told what was wrong or right. I try to contact him constantly to which he never replies. I still don't have my receipt from the purchase. I've requested it many times. His response is usually I emailed it. I check all folders in my email, including junk mail - nothing.

He was quick to come evaluate and take my money, but his follow ups are poor. I would not recommend this place.

Had my foam roof recoated. Great work, accommodated my schedule. Easy to work with, they have worked on my roof for years, always happy.

We have a tenant in our house in Paradise Valley that used to be a second home for us. Our tenant reported a leak. Since roof is foam, we called Superior Foam Roofing for an inspection and estimate. They made arrangements with our tenant to go to the house and never showed up and never called our tenant to say they couldn't make it. Tenant waited around all day. This roofer made another appointment with our tenant and did the exact same thing again! Didn't show up and didn't call! I would rate zero stars if I could!

While I've been forced to use a master bath with hideous seashell wallpaper for 3 years that can't be removed without popping that can of worms, my husband has been obsessed with getting our roof re coated.  Undoubtedly because we're taking a huge risk of water damage with the torrential rains we get on a regular basis.

I finally gave in and agreed to get it over with.  And by get it over with, I mean listen to my husband talk about it for another 6 months before he got around to doing something.  We obtained 3 estimates, and I was shocked that the highest was nearly twice the lowest.  Now everybody knows to never pick the lowest, but in this case, it was also the company that came with a recommendation from our neighbor who is anything but cheap.

First off, Rick came by to do the estimate as scheduled.  Middle guy called to tell us he didn't show up when he was supposed to.  I'm pretty sure I already knew that.  Rick gave us a written estimate and advised our foam was in good enough shape, he would offer a 3-year warranty rather than his standard 2-year.  I don't get the whole foam roof concept.  How can foam possibly work to protect my house.  When you put styrofoam in a microwave, it melts, and Phoenix gets hotter than a microwave.

Two men came to do the work, and they were done in a few hours.  Rick did stop by near the end of the job to write up the invoice and inspect the job, or I assume he did.  He reminded us to call him once or twice a year for an inspection, and any needed repairs (bird holes?) would be done free of charge.  One of the workers came to the door to collect payment.  Though his English was not great, we didn't have a problem beyond he didn't know if they accept credit cards.  I assumed if he didn't know, he also wouldn't know how to write it up, so I did have to pay by check.

I'm a fan of the price for now, but won't know the full results for 3 years I guess.  Maybe by then I'll have a nicer bath.  In the meantime, you'll find me on the roof admiring the workmanship there.

I called Rick and left a message that I needed a quick foam roof survey because I had developed a leak a few weeks ago during that period of rain we had.  He quickly called me back and scheduled a meeting.  During that meeting it was determined that the foam roof was in good condition and the leak was determined to be part of my shingled roof.  He patched what he thought was the culprit and did not charge me for his time.  

Rick and his company displayed expertise and very good overall customer service.  I'd recommend him to anyone and would gladly pay him for work when the time comes for my foam roof!

I'm happy to write a positive review for Superior Foam Roofing (listed here as Valley Foam Roofing).

We had let our elastomeric coating go a couple of years too long. No leaks, but some large areas had flaked off exposing the foam underneath. We did our diligence and got three quotes from qualified roofers. The first was a large company that sent out a salesman, who promptly told us they would need to cut out the exposed areas and re-foam them, so we might as well just tear off the whole roof and re-foam it for a mere $14,000.

Next up, a small family-owned roofing company that did quality work but whose estimate was ridiculously high (even higher than the big let's rip your roof off company for the same job).

I was glad to finally find Rick. A super-nice guy, very knowledgeable, Rick came out and gave us a realistic picture of what our roof really needed. The foam itself was solid, so we would just need to prime the exposed areas and re-coat the entire thing. His estimate was very reasonable considering the work involved (we have 29 solar panels to work around), and included a 5-year warranty with free roof inspections.

We also had him foam an a/c return elbow, and everything turned out great. Rick does only foam roofs, so if you have one that needs work I would highly recommend him.

My foam roof on the bank owned home I bought was a disaster...I was told by my inspection guy that it was the worst deterioration he had ever seen. I decided that this is where we would sink our tax return.  I called several companies in the valley and received 4 or so quotes...including one from Rick.  I was impressed with Rick's knowledge and honest assessment of what was needed on our home. He didn't upsell and he offered a solid guarantee of his work.  On top of this, he was the most affordable of the reputable and long standing services out there. The fact that he had is own foam truck is huge and certainly saves you money.  I was pleased with the final product and would certainly use Valley Foam again.

Rick Amaral is the owner of this company, which is now called Superior Foam Roofing. I had two flat roofs which were leaking or had leaked in the past - one on the second story, and  a patio roof with solar panels. I had 4 roofers out to look at it and and each were concerned about where the water was coming from, but none of them recommended foam. Rick was confident that he could take care of the problem and because of his reviews, and expertise, I decided he was the best option. His pricing was half what another roofing companies wanted to charge me. But the clincher was, with foam, I didn't have to remove the Solar Panels (which would have been $5,000. Rick and his crew removed shingles to find where the leak was coming from, so there was no question! He not only foamed the patio roof, but also other nearby areas where water was coming in through the shingled roof above the patio. He gave an excellent warranty and said his company comes out once a year to re-coat at no charge. If you are considering a foam roof, definitely call Rick! You won't be sorry!

After the hail storm in 2011 there were roofers on every house in the hood.    I watched them all work and narrowed it down to just a few to talk to.   Rik was the nicest, most polite, and realistically priced of all the people I talked to.    His work is excellent as well.  Can't say enough good things about him.
