Eco Smart Roofer

We had a great experience with our roof replacement! Most companies will give you a free inspection/estimate, whereas Eco Smart charges a fee. However, I truly feel the cost of the inspection was money well-spent because Erik took photos and walked me through the issues he saw. This included measuring the moisture in the walls to show us how the roof was leaking.

We decided to go ahead with a roof replacement, but this was during a period of rain, so we had to delay the roof replacement until the rain stopped. Erik contacted us frequently to update us on when the roof replacement would be safe to do so. He also connected us with a skylight installer who did an amazing job replacing our skylights and was also extremely communicative.

He's also very attentive to our neighbors during the installation/replacement process like making sure to sweep up debris that fell on their side, which was much appreciated since a good neighborly relationship is vital to enjoying your home!

To say we're happy with the process and the result would be an understatement. Erik is extremely organized and professional and made the whole process very smooth. He is very communicative and prompt throughout the whole process. He's an amazing contractor to work with you on your roof, I don't think you'd have any regrets. :)

Also bonus is that Erik will take drone photos of your roof so you can properly admire it and send it to people to brag.

Fabulous contractor that mainly specializes in San Francisco, Bay Area. They inspected our building inside out as a part of their initial paid inspection, we were hesitant paying for it at first as most of our previous interactions with contractors involved free estimates, but a friend convinced us to go forward, the best decision ever as we learned more about our home than we ever wanted. Repairs for exterior and roof were prescribed, we went forward with the work and it was completed on time and in excellent and precise manner. These folks are general contractors as well, they know everything about your home which helps.

Greatly appreciate this firm and strongly recommend to anyone looking for quality.

We hired EcoSmart to do a very comprehensive inspection of our condo building exterior to identify and document building defects that could be contributing to leak issues. Erast has been an absolute pleasure to work with in this difficult time.  Not only have they arrived on time and completed the inspection report promptly, but it was done with the level of detail and professionalism that we needed. In addition, Erast has been available by phone and email to answer my questions as we navigate the process of remedying the situation with our contractor. The price of the inspection is definitely worth it for it's quality and the high level of service that we have received before and after. Thank you ecosmart!

Absolutely, hands down best contractor we have ever dealt with. They are very professional, punctual and really, really know everything there is to know about waterproofing. First paid inspection was a vital service that every homeowner needs, it was very informative and surprising to discover that the mystery leak we have had over many years was actually not coming from the roof or siding - it was the foundation. Eco smart proposed crystallizing our slab and we are now leak free and the path of repairs they recommended worked great.

Awesome firm staffed with people that care. They are not cheap, but worth every penny.

Erast is the most professional contractor I have worked with, and the work done was excellent. High quality audit, quote without surprises, work done efficiently and with care and attention.

Erast also went above and beyond and made some additional cleanup free of charge. I can't recommend them enough for your roof work.​

In mid-February I requested an estimate to repair a leaking hallway roof on the ground floor of my two story, two unit building. The hallway of the first floor extended out into the light well adjoining the next building. I was given an estimate of $15,600 to repair the hallway roof and the joining wall in the light well. The estimate price did NOT contain a warranty on the work. I then obtained two subsequent estimates from roofing contractors I found on Yelp who had average ratings of 4.5 and 5.0 stars, respectively. I received estimates of $5,800 and $4,000, respectively, for same job, with each contractor providing a 5 year warranty of the their work. This review is LIMITED to Eco Smart Roofer's pricing policies, not the quality of their work.

I have worked with Eco Smart Roofer at our previous house in 2020 and have been impressed. Three years later I wanted to add a solar system to our new place and Eco Smart was my first choice to weatherproof the stanchions and do additional work. Coincidentally the solar installer recommended them too, so it all came together really well. Eco Smart is very responsive, thorough, the team pays attention to details and it does quality work that lasts long. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others.

Erast is a literally a lifesaver.  We ended up with a bad leak on a rainy Saturday / New Year's Eve.  Most places didn't pick up the phone when we called for help, but he did.  Although he wasn't able to directly come and help us today, he did what he could for us.  He looked up our house online and recommended that we contact a plumber.  He gave me the contact of someone he knew and they answered the phone too.  Lots of cleanup work in our future, but at least it's not getting any worse for now.

So glad I found Eco Smart Roofer. They were incredibly helpful in helping me identify where a leak was coming from and providing thorough, clear advice on how to best remedy. A fantastic experience from start to finish. Would recommend to anyone looking.

We had a great experience with Erast getting our roof replaced.  He was clear and communicative throughout, straightforward on cost, and we ended up getting our roof worked on sooner than originally proposed.  This was great, because we just had our new roof tested in the crazy rainstorms we've been having.  No more leaks!

Erast also does a great job coordinating with solar installers, which we had done at the same time.  Everything went very smoothly.  We are happy to have not only a new roof, but to know we have someone to call for future house projects

I'm grateful to have Eco Smart reroof my house during the pandemic. Considerate and communicative, Erast always puts on a mask when talking to me after I mentioned my spouse has immune system issues. Emails, texts, phone calls are answered very promptly.

Erast takes your concerns to heart e.g. he protected our fragile, leak-prone courtyard deck-over-living-space during reroofing.

In addition, Eco Smart is the only roofer to propose adding needed slope to our flat roof. Thank you Eco Smart!

We own a highly unusual house that many contractors show disinterest in working on. But Erast responded promptly, did a full home inspection, and replaced and/or patched sections of our roof and wall shingles. The replacement roof was a quality job. In addition, Erast has been instrumental in helping us to find great contractors to install a heat pump, repair metal railings, and more, and spearheaded all of those efforts.

Erast is always professional and honest, and fun to work with. He can definitely count on me to be a loyal customer.

We worked with Erast and Eco Smart Roofer on a joint project with our neighbors regarding the shared flashing between our roofs. Our neighbor had previously used Eco Smart Roofer to redo her roof and was very happy with the work.

All of my interactions with Erast were top notch. He's very organized, good communication and a generally nice person to work with. I'd recommend them highly from my interactions.

Erast was very patient with our HOA when we had lots of questions - EcoSmart offers two different reports and thanks to his insights we were able to quickly move forward. We had been getting a number of different opinions from other roofers on what the source of our leak issue was and Erast was able to quickly help us diagnose, explain in layman's terms, and make the HOA comfortable with next steps.  EcoSmart prides themselves on quality work and we will add to this review if we are able to partner with them on re-roofing.

My roof had been leaking for years near the chimney, and we couldn't figure out what the problem was. We had our roof changed, but the problem persisted.

Last year, since we were home due to the pandemic, I decided to call up roofers to get an estimate. To be honest, the others were willing to give a free estimate; however, Eco Smart does charge for their roof assessment.
It wasn't cheap, but it was thorough. Erast prepared a report complete with pictures detailing what the issues were, which ones needed to be addressed right away, and which ones could be saved for later. Then, he made it clear it was up to me how I wanted to move forward.

After looking at several reviews, and looking at other companies, we decided on Eco Smart. Yes, they were more expensive, but there is a 20-year warranty on their work. In addition, they had fantastic reviews.

After getting a quote, Erast and his team were very honest about when they could start, since they were still finishing up projects and the rainy weather wasn't optimal.

Erast saw a break between rainy weather and texted me immediately to  confirm whether they could start work.  His crew was on time and very hardworking. They were able to tear down my main roof and rebuild it within few days, before the rain and holidays. They also covered up any problem areas to ensure the rain wouldn't get in. As the first major rain of the season came, I was a little nervous. However, it worked wonderfully!! Erast even contacted me to check in about the roof.

After the rain took a break, Erast and his team returned to work on the rest of the roof and problem areas. Some issues came up that we weren't aware of, but Erast told me what my options were and we made some adjustments.

When they were done, Erast came back to show me all the work they had done, and what I'd need to do each year to keep the warranty active.

We've been having quite a few atmospheric rivers lately, and I'm happy to say the roof is still standing strong with no leaks in the house!

Thank you, Erast!

Excellent service and work. The crew worked quickly and efficiently and they were very respectful of our home, wearing shoe protectors and left with minimum disruption to our house. Thank you.

These guys did an amazing job with our roof and got it done so quickly! They cleaned up thoroughly every day as they worked.

They also give you an extra little surprise when you work them.

They are a little pricier than other roofers out there, but they are well worth it for the quality and level of service that you receive.

Honest, realistic prices, knowledgeable, helpful, and with a great sense of humour.  What's not to like?

I contacted Erast to inspect my roof to have solar reflective shingles applied. He responded promptly to set up a date to come out. When he arrived, he obeyed all COVID safety protocols, even changing his foot coverings every time he came back inside. Ultimately, we decided this job would be better handled by another contractor for several reasons, but Erast didn't charge me anything for his inspection, even though it took at least two hours for him to do!
He seems to have a lot of connections with other professionals in the neighborhood for electricity, plumbing, and other work, and they all speak really highly of him.
Even though he didn't take the job I contacted him for, I have another one lined up for him.  Erast has himself a loyal customer in me. This guy is tops. My cat liked him too, which is always a good sign!

Erast and crew did a great job replacing my roof.  They were professional, friendly, on time and completed on time.  Erast was on site the majority of the time.  The inspection was very thorough and useful.  Hire this crew.  You won't regret it.

This is a first class service. Erast really takes all concerns to heart and delivers solutions that work for the property owner in more ways than just the simple solution itself. This company takes great care in delivering quality results no matter what the limitations; we had a whole roofing job done that required lugging everything up 3 flights of stairs and through a very narrow skylight passage. The result was pristine, and there was no collateral damage from any of the activities. You pay for what you get.

Great service. Helped me find a leak and fix the roof. Really nice people. I recommend them for finding leaks and repairing the roof.

Where do I start? The prompt response when I emailed them? Fast and responsive planning around weather and last minute personal issues? The great and professional manner in which Armand conducted the inspection? How wonder the team was when they came and fix my roof? Or the follow-up after? Such tough choices!

It was time to get my roof inspected and naturally, I went on Yelp, found the 3 top rated roofers in the San Francisco area and message each of them for a quote. EcoSmart Roofer replied within the hour with a quote and explanation of why it costs what it does, what's covered under it, and some possible time lines if we decided to go forward. The second company just replied with a quote and the third company I suppose can't be bothered.

In terms of scheduling, EcoSmart Roofer/Armand is really easy and accommodating. We have regular work schedules and Armand was awesome to accommodate our schedule and came out at an early time so that we wouldn't have to take any time off. His happy and cheerful personality definitely made it easy for me to wake up and he answered all my stupid questions (what are you doing now?) with patience and professionalism. He also cleared up myths that I grew up with such as roof inspections are only needed every 10 years. Wonderful guy!

Oh! And the pictures! He provided so many pictures of my roof! Problem areas and good areas. This was great because I can't get on my own roof under normal circumstances and the pictures gave me context as to what he was talking about. Imagine if he said, the tar patch is cracking, I wouldn't have any idea what that means. But he got pictures of the patches in the roof from the previous owners and they were cracked! That extra information gives me confidence to make my decisions. He even took pictures of the sidings of the house high up where there were damages and recommended that I have them repaired as soon as possible AND told me what a proper repair would look like.

The quote and recommendation process was very easy. We had talked about the current conditions and my budget. So, the quote contained a recommended minimum work section and a nice to do work section with detailed steps on what kind of work will be done and references to pictures. I wanted to add on some things and he charged me very reasonably for them. I've gone through some home improvements projects before and I'm very impressed with his pricing.

Once I agreed, we set up a date DAYS later. I didn't need to wait week or months. However, there was a storm coming in and Armand quickly rescheduled me to move the schedule up earlier so that I'll have all the fix done in time for the storm. And good thing too, cuz it just rained for 2 weeks. His crew was very professional. Armand came by the first morning to explain to me what would be going on and that his team will clean up any debris that fell in (skylight). The job took 2 days, noise was at an expected level (old house) and true enough, the foreman came in cleaned up the room where the skylight was in. He definitely did a better job than I would have. Armand followed up each day with pictures of the roof before, during and after the repair work was done.

After the storms passed, I got a surprise email from Armand with drone pictures! The roof already looked good from the after repair pictures but the drone images were amazing for a birds-eye view and coverage.

I'm working with Armand to see if his crew can repair and repaint the damaged to the outside walls and will definitely update with how that goes!

Leaky roof and wet walls - no hope.

Called an inspection agency first for an unbiased inspection of our roof and found it difficult to get anyone to come out without signing for a full general inspection, we did go through real estate transaction recently and didn't want another meat-and-potatoes inspection.

Needed a solution for dry living and weren't able to get a straight answer from anyone. Unlicensed contractors and jacks of all trades, masters of none stormed through our lives in sluggish and underactive manner, everyone was suggesting different approaches. Phrase Water travels in mysterious ways was restated a dozen of times.

First contact with Eco Smart was in March 2016, we spoke with Armand and it was a very positive conversation about our options and expectations, Armand gave me more information looking at my house through Google than anyone that we've spoken with before combined. Signed up for the inspection and within two weeks our issues were magically solved, it isn't cheap to go with Eco Smart but they stay true to their name.

Replaced my entire roof (including removing five layers of old roof) in only three days!  The crew cleaned up at the end of each day so well that if I'd been at the office all day I would barely have known they'd been working, and when we had a surprise thunderstorm in the middle of the job even their temporary cover did a better job keeping the water out than the old roof had.  This winter's rainy season was the final test, and so far not a drip anywhere.  A+, would definitely recommend.

This firm has saved us from water attack. This is a lovely and straight company, they specialize in roofing and exterior work, it was exactly what we needed since we discovered a weird leak and we couldn't identify the source for years.

I called them few months ago and it took about 3-4 weeks to get on their inspection schedule, we did get few quotes for free while we waited and let me tell you the difference, out of three other contractors that came to check out our roof one was a guy from the street, another one stood us up and the third one was using his friend's license, I understand the law and I can read people's faces when you ask them the license question.

They all gathered information and we received 3 quotes, they were all confusing and sounded made up. Eco Smart actually called 2 hours in advance because they were afraid to be late but still came right on time for our appointment, Armand and Dima did the inspection together and it was simply a show to watch, harmony, beeping machines and efficiency was shining through these capable workers, they finished in just under an hour and presented me with a huge block of information, I asked a million questions and all were answered to our great satisfaction. Report followed in two days and we signed with them, work happened during the rainy season and by doubling their crew (15 people and two dump trucks) they were able to get us replaced in a single day. It poured the next day but we were ready.

Awesome company with a bedside service approach.

We couldn't be happier

It was complex from beginning to end but Eco Smart made it look and feel easy. Ended up finding out that we had 5 layers of rooming sandwiched one on top of another, it was a nightmare that leaked slowly, in different places. Contractors were unable to figure out the issue as we had plywood installed underneath top layer of roofing which made it look straight. Eco Smart used scanners and removed flashings in few places to understand the nature of the sandwich we had instead of the roof. We obviously contracted with them for the replacement but another surprise has been waiting for us right outside - tall building with the need of scaffolding or a crane only issue was that scaffolding would not be permitted due to high voltage lines and cranes or delivery trucks would not fit on our steeet due to low hanging electrical wires. We entertained the idea of the boom or scissor lift but due to the fact that our home is on the slope, it would not work.

So the crew brought the materials on trucks and hauled it away while bringing it through the living space which we understood was a nightmare for the crew but pretty easygoing for us, it sure took a long time (two weeks) for the replacement but the space was clean every day and except for constant banging we had no complains. Beautiful and respectful crew and superior management.

We never had a contractor as professional and unique as Eco Smart, their replacement of our roof is gorgeous and unique. We have an old Edwardian and needed someone who appreciates the uniqueness of the building and the character behind every wood trim and casing, behind balustrade, plaster caps and baluster, these guys are it. They came in and professionally inspected the building, gave us a quote for replacement and few material options, we went with TPO for the main roof and copper farm style roof for front upper cap. The work is beautiful and the drone photos they take are professional grade HD shots. We recommend them 100%

I've used Yelp for years, but the service of Armand and his team at Eco Smart Roofer inspired me to write my very first review!

Our classic SF Victorian was in need of a new roof, and Eco Smart did a fabulous job.  From providing an incredibly thorough inspection (with photos), to pricing multiple options for repair and replacement (including some creative ideas my wife and I suggested!), to providing daily progress updates (again with photos), to finishing the job ahead of schedule, Eco Smart delivered a high quality product and made the experience not only painless, but seamless.

Armand clearly has a deep technical knowledge of roofing, as well as a great sense of what standout customer service means (including little touches like introducing himself to our neighbors so he could provide them with updates about when the project might be noisy or messy).  As for workmanship, the before and after pictures included with this review speak for themselves - our roof isn't just serviceable, it actually makes our house cooler and more attractive.

Eco Smart's work wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny - we'd definitely use them again.

This review is my experience with Eco Smart prior the work; as many of you, even after research on line, I was left with tons of questions with the roof project, and many businesses are not that friendly in terms of spending time answering those questions.  Erast not only took the time to answer but also walked me through many points that would save me months of time and cost down the road. By walking me through and providing me insights, it also shows how knowledgable and professional they are in the field. I would definitely put them as my first choice once I have my plan laid down and budget saved.

Awesome roofer! We had a leak and asked many contractors to diagnose it with no luck. We contacted Eco Smart and they came in loaded with technology. They identified the leak as related to the light well system and took care of it in a very affordable fashion. Top roof leak ended up being an issue with the siding and was resealed.  We also needed the drains cleaned due to them being clogged and they came the same night we emailed them. Their reports are comprehensive and customer service is outstanding.

Great roofing contractor that provides valuable inspection services. We hired them for the inspection of our building' exterior, envelope, and were surprised at the professionalism of the inspection. We figured out exactly what we needed to know, for our buildings' 5 year HOA study. Great value for the money. Erast was very knowledgeable and recommendations were digested into understandable and simple formats.  He provided a few versions of the report, which included inline and PDF formats. Great roofer.

Erast is awesome!  We panicked on Christmas because we had rain coming through the ceiling of our newly purchased home.  He went way above and beyond, digging up the building permits of the renovation on our house to find the original contractor (including name and phone number), advising us on how to work with contractors on the repair, and next steps.  He did all of this without us paying him a dime!  I highly recommend working with Erast, it's such a nice feeling to have an honest, helpful company that legitimately cares about people being taken care of.  I've never had this level of support from a construction company.  Thanks!

It's been about 2-3 months since EcoSmart finished my re-roof project. I initially had them give me an inspection and quote about a year prior when purchasing the property.  They where one of the higher priced bids but I liked their approach and they seemed of higher quality and professionalism than the other quotes I reviewed.  (sometimes you get what you pay for).

They where very patient working with me as I reviewed some of my structural/engineering options and plans for the project.  I had them out  a few times to have discussions with myself and engineers and talk through various options and considerations.  Always very helpful, and I appreciated them taking the time on this prior to being in contract.

We started the project late in the season due to my investigative work, but they where excellent about communicating with me regarding timing and weather concerns.  We also had some coordination amongst skylight considerations and solar panel install.  This included a re-roof of a commercial warehouse and a smaller flat roof residential second floor.  

Everything went very smoothly, I've rarely experienced a group that was so good about communication and easy to work with.  Everyone on the time was fantastic.  With scaffolding we  developed some security problems with access to adjoining properties, and they worked quickly to resolve this issue and work on solutions.  We had some additional dry-rot (expected) and they where easy to work with on developing a plan part way through the job to do the repair work, and necessary permit work.  They suggested better plumbing solutions for the drains so as to not potentially create a hazardous situation if an overflow occurred with the electrical sub-panels on the ground floor.

I would absolutely recommend them and use them for future work.

The team replaced the roof on the 100+ Year old victorian eight. I called in for a rush job because of water damage eight years ago.... fast forward to last week, a separate contractor surveyed the roof on a separate matter and had nothing but compliments on the state of everything. Amazing job guys.

Great roofing company in every aspect, they are professional, clean and attend to clients every need, we used them for our roofing replacement and the entire neighborhood is happy because they cleaned sidewalks and street so well - nobody else had to do it for a week. Super organized, responsive and they stand behind their work. Guarantee 100% great great great - ED was the man pulling strings at all times.

Sounds like a great idea. Too bad it wasn't obvious they work ONLY in SF. Would have LOVED to have had their help in Oakland / Emeryville.

Top notch roofing contractor that is honest and super-mega knowledgeable. We needed a complete investigation of our building as there were many issues at play and we weren't able to find one true answer to our slow leak from any of the dozen of companies that came out. There were guys with iPads, old school folks with yellow notepads and tape measures, Russian scammer couple without license asking for personal information and cash, you name it - we had them. It was hard on us because we kept getting stuck with the same issue, folks have been trying to sell us a roofing replacement, someone even tried to sell us windows. Eco Smart came highly recommended, it was evident that our inspector really cares about quality and has a sense of humor, Wes was great, the attention to detail was incredible at the time of our evaluation, Wes and his sidekick checked our entire building inside-out. We had a clear report with pictures and thermal findings supplied to us in few days and they answered all of our questions in time, great guys to work with, ended up with an issue in our walls caused by leaky copper plumbing, so glad we didn't have to replace our roof as recommended by other folks.

Recommended company!

P.S. check license of the folks you are letting into your house, they must have the CLSB license card in their name that corresponds to their ID, insured and bonded, we had to learn it the hard way unfortunately.

Be careful out there, watch out for scammers!

It's an awesome little company that has a verity of services every serious homeowner needs, all starts with the initial inspection of the exterior building envelope which in our case included exterior walls, windows, fascia, trims, casings and doors, inspector followed with a complete moisture mapping of interior spaces where all elevated moisture readings were recorded, roof came last. We paid close to $600 for the inspection and in 3 days got a full blown, modern looking report that could be viewed online or saved as pdf. We spent a good two hours going through details of document and everything was very easy to understand. Report contained the proposal for repairs and after a quick glance we decided to go with it. Crew arrived in new, marked trucks, there were orange cones everywhere and traffic on our busy street was directed cautiously and precisely by two crew members, repair took three days and the site was left spotless. Our neighbors loved the contractor and I'm sure they will be calling Eco Smart as well in nearest future. Hire them if you just don't want to worry

Eco Smart Roofer is top notch. Armand was extremely knowledgeable and discussed options openly and honestly with me. We opted for a new double bitumen torch down GTA roofing application by GAF (Ruberoid torch granule membrane) followed by three coats of a siliconized coating system by RoofTek colored white for maximum sun and heat reflection. They also replaced three skylights, which made us confident that we were getting a complete new roofing system.  With the new cool white roof, we can already tell that our house is cooler during the warm summer days, and cools down much more quickly at night, which is much more comfortable.

Our experience with Eco Smart was superb.  From diagnosing the problem using drone imaging and direct inspection, to evaluating our options, to completing the work on time and budget, the experience was top notch.  Their workers were prompt, courteous, and completed their work on time and with a high degree of professionalism. For example, they removed the old tar and gravel roof in about 3 hours!  They were kind to our neighbors, and addressed their concerns promptly and professionally and ensured that there property was free of debris.  Armand and his foreman were always available to discuss the project as the work progressed, so communication was fantastic.  Truly one of the best contractors I have ever worked with (and there have been many over the years).  

If you want superb workmanship and the latest green roofing technology, Eco Smart is your best bet.  We have been fully satisfied with the work, and they are terrific to interact with.  I would not use anyone else.

Ecosmart saved our butts.

We just bought a house in July, which we couldn't start work on until September, and needed to scramble to repair a lot of things before the winter (And so we could move in!) The biggest item? The roof, which had a history of leaks and some obvious problem areas - we could tell because we had to redo drywall, flooring, and repaint all over the house.

We were terrified that when the big rains came this winter, any work we'd done on the interior would basically be washed away.

Most companies we contacted were backed up for months or hardly seemed to know what they were talking about. Ecosmart came out, gave us a qoute, and then also worked with our solar company to set up an aggressive timeline. Then they actually ended up bumping us up in the schedule by at least a month over when they estimated they could get to us. Since when have you had a contractor actually offer to show up early?

They came in and got the bulk of the work done in just three days on our huge roof (300sq ft house), deck/patio area and in two lightwells. They also sealed some areas in the siding that weren't even noticed or part of the initial quote, simply because they were there. They only had to come back later to seal the solar mounts and then put another super water resistant coating on top of everything (which was hardly needed since they'd already done 3 - 4 layers).

Needless to say, we had no roof leaks and survived the first hard rains in el nino.

Then they ALSO came back to help us with the leaks we DID have (which ended up being 1. From a shower inside our house, which they diagnosed and tracked down without any complaint, very helpful and 2. From a new crack that had formed in our stucco, which they sealed along with some other areas without charging us - perhaps because we'd already decided to go with them in another couple months when we redo the rest of our exterior!)

These guys show up and work hard. Anyone who has ever had to manage many contractors for a house remodel knows how much that matters.

Great roofing contractor that can identify the issue using high end tools, super technologically advanced and never late, very connected and resourceful. They were able to find a solution to our leak and suggested an effective, low cost repairs, other roofers just wanted to replace our entire roof. We are lucky we found Eco Smart Roofer, they are great and they stand behind their work.

Honest Roofers, terrific contractors and mega advanced inspectors. It's hard to explain this business and capture the flavour correctly, sort of like its hard to describe the new car smell. From the beginning to the end of the process they had multiple opportunities to overcharge us, but they didn't, I messaged the business on multiple occasions even before the paid inspection and probably wasted an hour of their time asking silly questions but they were patient and responded to every concern I had with dignity and respect. I wasn't fooled, I wasn't made fun of and I wasn't scammed even though they had the upper hand every step of the way. We had a situation which was hard to digest and explain, multiple contractors left us hanging prior to Eco Smart Roofers and they took all of that negativity and turned it into a lemonade. I believe that someone deep inside the company there is someone that truly believes in karma, someone that trains every single person there to respect client's time and clients property, someone who programmed everyone from inspectors to workers to treat clients exactly the way they want to be treated. I'm not going to talk about the inspection and the project as they were fabulous with no additional comments, I want to turn your attention to little details that mattered to me the most and said everything there is to say about the vendor. Walking inside your home with shoe covers, inspecting with gloves on, helping you drive out of your garage safely, making sure your garbage cans are nicely rolled away on garbage day, reminding your neighbors about street cleaning, making your neighbors happy by cleaning beyond what's expected, reminding you to close the garage door, checking and making sure you get in and out of the home safely on demolition day, providing you with 200+ Instagram quality photos of the roofing project using cloud, taking care of every little aspect of the project seamlessly, playing with your dog or cat, always smiling, always willing to jump into action. These are the details that matter to me the most and this vendor over performed anyone and everyone we ever dealt with.

Responsive, Professional, Thorough, and Great Job

Armand and the Eco Smart Roofer Team were great from my first interaction. They were responsive to my inquiry, showed up on time for every appointment, and who's heard of a timeline being pulled in vs. pushed out from a contractor? The team was able to fit me re-roofing my Glen Park home earlier than anticipated and in two days (one full, 1/2 finishing clean-up the next day). They did a great job, left my place clean and the roof looks solid with two new skylights.

As others state, they are not the cheapest but if you want a job well done please consider Eco Smart Roofers.  I know I will as I consider other exterior home work.

I rarely write reviews, but this one is one that is truly one of the best construction decisions I've made.  I  have two decks that sit above different sets of bedrooms.  Typical for many SF houses. Sadly while these decks come with amazing views, they also come with leaks due to original construction not understanding how floating decks work. It had been repaired and ripped up 3 times by the original builder before finding eco smart roofing.

Eco Smart did both the deck, the also we replaced the roofing of the building. They went above and beyond to helped us find a contractor to build a deck that would outlast standard wood. They recommended  Trex materials so we would not have to replace the wood in the years to come.  There have been no leaks since they repaired this a couple of years ago.  A massive success.

I was planning on doing the second deck this year, and the team actually advised against it until next year. Just amazing honestly for any contractor to turn down money. Their integrity, responsiveness and quality is like nothing I've seen in the services or construction. If you have a roof or a deck or a roof that needs replairs these folks should be your #1 choice. They will not let you down.

Having worked with multiple roofing and General contractors in the past I can testify that there is really no comparison, one can talk for hours how their work shines are n attention to detail, safety and compatibility to your building's unique specifications. These are obscessive guys that truly specialize on premium installs, they are not the right choice for someone who wants a cheap, fast installation, there are many contractors that will do that around Bay Area, not these folks. For me, putting all aside, the most important item is their service, the attentive, unique and obscessive service that they provide to all of their clients after replacement, ED was always there when I called and someone always guided me through all of my questions - I ask a lot and expect a lot especially when I pay premium. Premium contractor, roofer and inspector is what they are, I'm also into deep research of everyone I work with and I know for certain that a contractor that charges $600 to come and inspect your building prior to giving you any proposals for repairs with a waiting period of 2-3 weeks at any given moment is not going out of business any time soon.

Eco Smart is the contractor that you need for a perfect job of any type and any size. We used this contractor for few jobs, one time it was for a residential repair and another time for a commercial roofing replacement. Fast, efficient and more importantly safe. They really shined throughout our roofing replacement and my neighbors absolutely love them.

They are on the higher side of the quotes but I don't ever buy cheap shoes.

Erast did a home leak assessment for us. We originally balked at the price but we have no regrets. Erast was amazingly thorough, taking over 100 pictures and writing up a 20+ page report. He also filled me in via  phone for over an hour. His analysis and insights were incredibly helpful to us and something we could share with other contractors and roofers (which he encouraged). They marveled at the detailed and thorough work. Erast gave me the best understanding I have ever had of why and how there are leaks.

Not the cheapest, but an excellent choice.

Armand is very contentious and customer focused. His team does high quality work using the best materials. Excellent communication. They were responsive. Billing is accurate and consistent with quotes.

I've used four different roofers on projects in SF and on the Peninsula in the last two years. I've done two projects with Armand and am planning a third. In the future I plan to use Armand on projects where top quality is important.

EccoSmart is scientific in the way they analyze water intrusion before they start repairs, using humidity readings and drone images. For that reason, their work is more likely to be focused in a way that optimizes results.

You will almost certainly get lower quotes. A problem with roofing quotes is that the quote is typically based on what they can see on the surface. The scope and cost can easily grow during the project as new issues are uncovered. That is less likely to happen with Armand.

Echoing what others have noted, Erast and the Eco Smart Roofer team are amazing.  I was surprised to see a company have so many reviews and still be at 5 stars.  After having Erast out to look at my roof, and ultimately having Eco Smart replace my roof, I completely understand.  They are very committed to providing excellent customer service.  

This starts with a quote that may be higher than others, but that you can be confident will cover all the necessary work (i.e., Eco Smart's quote included dry rot repair and others excluded all dry rot repair; Eco Smart's quote covered removing my Spanish tile and fixing it and others specifically excluded that work, saying it could be opening a can of worms).  Erast is very knowledgable (certified awesome actually) and he's able to explain the issues in a way that is very accessible for lay people.  I received photo updates throughout the project.  

After the job was complete, and the scaffolding was removed, one of my pipes had become unattached to my house.  Although the cause was likely from my house, Erast personally came out that evening to reattach the pipe.  

It's really refreshing to find a company that is so committed to old fashioned customer service and doing excellent work.

I can only underscore what has been written about these folks and add my string of compliments.  Upon discovering a potential leak in my roof, I hired Eco Smart to do an inspection.  Erast brought a team of 3 others with him and they did an impressively comprehensive inspection.  He sat down with me and walked me through the most pressing issues immediately following the inspection - the need for a new roof and the need to repair/replace front siding due to extensive dry rot -- and followed up soon thereafter with a written report.  The report that followed was highly detailed, comprehensive and had many photos to illustrate the issues and recommendations.  What struck me immediately was Erast's bedside manner  - he is professional, warm, thorough, straightforward and was very reassuring.  After some additional research, I decided to go with Eco Smart for the roof replacement and the extensive repair work to my building.

The work was done in two phases, starting with the roof.  The guys worked quickly and turned the entire roof replacement around in a matter of days, including erecting scaffolding.  Everyday they left the job site immaculate -- so much so that Dima, the foreman, would come into my condo at the end of the day to vacuum up any mess that occurred when they removed my old skylights.  

Unfortunately, the damage to the front of the building turned out to be more extensive than we had thought (early on they alerted me to the possibility that the damage may be greater than we originally thought).  Erast provided a new estimate immediately and did not go over that estimate by a penny.  In fact, they went above and beyond and handled a few issues that arose unexpectedly without increasing the cost.     As with the roof, the work was done efficiently, meticulously, professionally and with an obvious degree of care, expertise and craftmanship.  People literally stop me on the street to compliment me on how incredible my building looks, and for good reason.

Aside from the quality of the work, it is truly the level of service, bedside manner and professionalism that sets Eco Smart apart.  My texts and emails were returned IMMEDIATELY.  Erast and the others patiently answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns, no matter how trivial or insignificant they might have been.    All of the guys are so knowledgeable but they explain things in terms that are easy to understand.  Plus, they are just a joy to work with and interact with.  Honestly, I could go on and on about my experience.  I could not recommend Eco Smart enough and would use them again in a heartbeat.

This is a great roofing and inspection company that can be trusted. The drawback is their initial fee for inspection which is around $600 but what comes with the paid inspection is a quality write down of all items in need of service for your exterior and roof systems. We dealt with Erast and he was extremely helpful, had a new roof installed few years ago and started swing leaks in two years, original roofer blamed everything on condensation in walls and elevated moisture in the air. We couldn't come to a consensus with the original roofer and had others look at the roof, but with no luck. We had many guys come out trying to sell us things and repairs but not a single one could point out the issues with existing installation, we got many uneducated guesses, one guy even suggested replacement of windows - his brother even gave us a quote for window replacement. It was a nightmare prior to calling Eco Smart. Eco Smart came highly recommended, inspected the building to the smallest detail, gave us the report and prioritized list of items in need of attention, we are now in contact with original roofers that agreed on needed repairs per Eco Smart report. We hope to put this behind us before rains come.

If I were able to give 10 stars to Eco-Smart Roofer I would do it! Look no further, this is the team to go with, hands-down. We had a complex roofing job that needed to be done on our beautiful Victorian home - we knew it was not going to be easy and needed the best. We interviewed extensively and got multiple estimates and are thrilled that we found Eco-Smart. We have extremely high standards and they exceeded our expectations in terms of overall quality, great workmanship, and above all excellent service, communication, and support. From our first interaction, we were impressed by the professionalism, responsiveness, and efficiency of this team. We were able to move quickly to get an amazing new roof at a great price. We would use them again in a heartbeat and plan to in our next home. They deserve a perfect 10!

We called Eco Smart with an issue we were having with our chimney, we were surprised at first by the price tag of their inspection and decided to try other contractors, we called around and in approximately two months had to call Eco Smart again and set up the inspection appointment. Our biggest issue was that we couldn't get a straight answer from other guys who showed up for a free estimate, there were many questionable individuals that asked me for personal checks and some were unlicensed. Time came for our inspection and Eco Smart rolled in with two inspectors, both were super knowledgeable and had had tools all over our house, it felt like an FBI investigation, took about 90 minutes to get our building inspected and report with photos and explanations followed, we ended up learning that we only needed flashing adjustment at the roof and the real issue was the rotten siding. Price for the inspection was forwarded to our invoice and work was done in two weeks after inspection and took two days to complete.

These guys really know roofing and construction, we've been through two storms and are staying dry.

Recommend these guys with both hands. They are amazing , very professional, easy to work with and incredible in what they do !  Out best experience so far !

This is an updated review following quick corrective actions by the company to resolve the situation.
Within minutes after the first review was posted, we received a call from Erast who offered to come over right away and do the inspection for free (!). He apologized for the initial misunderstanding and showed up promptly, just 20 min after the call. What followed was an incredibly efficient, thorough and professional inspection of the roof, exterior walls and building interior. Erast was able to quickly identify problem areas on the roof that led to water leaks during rainy season and suggested a course of action to fix these. During inspection and follow-on question/answer session Erast was calm, friendly, honest and highly knowledgeable. Lots of insights and great advice!
In the evening of the same day we received a detailed report that outlines the issues and proposed fixes. Very impressed with this excellent service, glad that it worked out in the end. Looking forward to continued interaction!

Previous review:
I certainly don't like writing a negative review especially when so many folks had a great experience with this roofer. But I feel it's important to share our experience for some balance and because it may be helpful to those looking to hire them for roof inspection.

The inspection is a stand alone service (not counted towards repairs) and quite expensive - it's $585 for residential buildings under 2000 sq ft and $1370 for residential buildings over 2000 sq ft (the square footage is that of the interior of the building, i.e if there are two units 1500 sq ft each the total is 3000 sq ft). This price is for approximately one hour of inspection either with drones or visual but not both. Moreover, they did not go through the effort of providing us with an official quote and confirming the size of the building/costs early in the process. We had to cancel our inspection just hours before it was scheduled as we were under the impression that it would cost $585.  On the plus side, as everyone mentioned, they were responsive and accommodating via email and offered to cancel themselves (hence the two stars instead of one). Ultimately, it was just a big waste of time: a month of coordinating the timing with neighbors and the company, taking a day off work, etc. only to cancel in the end. Can't comment on the quality of their workmanship.

Armand and team are top notch! Our roof provided some challenging circumstances given its age and the patchwork of fixes that previous owners cobbled together. Armand was able to help us evaluate our options and describe next steps for drainage issues caused by the previous roof.

As for the new roof, the team was very quick and was able to get a new roof completely installed in 3 days. This included working with our existing skylights and replacing all vents and flashing. They took time before the job to cover our outside furniture, and after the job to thoroughly clean the front and back yards, as well as the sidewalk and surrounding areas that had demo debris.

Overall we're very happy with the quality of the work and service, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Eco Smart to friends that are having roof issues.

Eco Smart Roofer and Eco Smart SF are the contractor group of the year!

They specialize in roof and exterior renovation which was exactly what we needed, we looked for contractors for a while and stumbling upon Eco Smart was no coincidence. I have researched them and they passed all my requirements with flying colors. Meeting Armand was a pleasure, owners are obsessive compulsive and it was a big plus. People working for them and tools they use are too notch. Trucks they drive are Euro 6 and get 38 miles per gallon. They recycle everything and not a single step is wasted.

Great team, quality work and good feeling. They are NOT cheap but in this world you always get what you pay for. We got a peace of mind.

Thank you Eco Smart!

Incredible service and work by Armand/Erast and team. I chose a 4-ply roof w/Certainteed TL shingles which requires special attention to detail because of its weight and thickness. Words cannot describe how satisfied I am with their work.

Communication - I live in a quiet community and it was important that the roof job be executed with care and attention to surrounding neighbors. Armand reassured the neighbors and convinced them that the job would not disturb their property or leave a mess. He's great! Erast was very quick in communicating the timeline and responded to my texts and emails within minutes.

Craftsmanship - It's not easy to install the thicker shingles that I chose, but their team did an awesome job installing them on brand new underlayment. My old roof had two layers, with wood shingles and asphalt shingles. They removed both layers with care and left the work site very clean everyday.

Customer Service - the team worked very quickly to install the new roof. Rain was forecasted within a few days and they managed to work long hours to complete the entire roof within one week, just days before the rain rolled in. The service is also very high tech, and they provided high res aerial pics of the before/during/after the roof job via a drone.

I don't hesitate for a moment to recommend them.

Fast, professional, and great at what they do.

Not only did they redo the roof on our several times remodeled 1892 Victorian, they also:
- worked well around skylights
- came back for a complementary visit when we had an issue
- cleaned everything up nicely

I used Eco Smart Roofer SF to replace my roof in 2016. They were super-responsive via email and phone, they did a great job and my roof still works and looks great! Today I was looking for a recommendation for another type of work and thought to call them. They called back within minutes and gave me a few recommendations as well as some advice on how to make sure I'm getting to the right details in my project. Can't speak highly enough of this team and their work. Premium service, premium product - and nice people.

Solid roofing company. Solid professionalism.

We got a new roof from Eco Smart Roofer a couple of years ago and are very happy we did!

We had to replace an older flat roof that caused huge leaks coming in our living room and garage from our light well area. Having to get a whole new roof is stressful and such an important investment for your property. That's why we went with Eco Smart Roofer out the four companies we interviewed.
We felt that their product was better quality  
- from the gadgets they used; high tech service
- thorough analysis and detailed inspection of roof
- offered a great warranty with once every two years inspections
- how helpful Armand was when I first reached out to him about the water pouring in my living room and coming over to helping me out
- they strive at being a green company

We also had them put in 3 custom skylights. Our new roof and skylights are solid and look great. Most importantly, it's held up to rainy, stormy weather putting our mind at ease. We recently called Eco Smart Roofer to come inspect our roof after all the rain we've been getting. They responded quickly and came over promptly, still carrying on the excellent customer service they provided since the first time. Getting a whole new roof from them was the best decision. We really appreciate the professional service, quality and care Eco Smart Roofers and Armand has provided us. They're a stellar company to work with - we highly recommend them!

These folks are great and took care of us very well. Fully licensed and insured they came in and inspected our home in greatest detail. Erast was a pleasure to communicate with and personally resolved all of our roofing issues, the process looked simple but was complexed. Two teams worked on our building and the entire process of repair took three days, these guys were super sensitive to our neighbors and have posted notes prior to moving forward with the project, few neighbors even got a free car wash. In general it's a super customer oriented firm that loves the community and gives 100%. Be smart and contact them, they wouldn't let you down.

This guys did a total replacement on my roof, as recommended after a thorough assessment. Although I'm no roofing expert, it was easy to tell they know what they're talking about, and they showed me everything, before and after, with high quality photos. It's a lot of money to spend on something you don't really look at, but it's nice to know we have a solid new roof with a guarantee behind it.
They booked us quickly and finished the job in about half the time estimated. It was great to have the whole project done so quickly. Overall I would totally recommend these guys for their quick, thorough and professional roofing services.

Eco Smart has been a total lifesaver for us, we called a number for contractors all around the Bay Area and weren't sure what exactly is needed in order to figure out our very old leak that happened in the living room. In process of getting estimates we stumbled across many unlicensed contractors (please check license status when you hire anyone - they could sue you back and take your home) we have seen horror stories, some guys wanted us to pay them with bitcoins, another contractor asked for a straight cash payment and there was another one who wanted the check made out to a personal name. It was a show every time. The problem was that nobody had a straight answer, everyone came up with conclusions after being on our roof from 5 to 15 minutes. It was frustrating. We set up the inspection with Eco Smart and within a week they showed up at our home at a promised time. The inspection took 1.5 hours and they evaluated everything on exterior and the roof, they sent us a fabulous marked, detailed inspection report outlining every issue with exterior and roofing system we had, it was a pleasure talking with someone who actually knew our house. We contracted with Eco Smart for a full replacement and repair of the damage the leak have caused, the crew arrived on time and worked very hard, project manager was very nice and made sure our neighbors were happy. Super considerate and quality oriented, passionate company, can't recommend them enough.

Armand and his team are amazing! They completely replaced the roof on our Victorian home and they did a fantastically thorough job. I can't capture the quality of work in words so I'm going to post some pre and post photos instead. The project involved removing tons of old material, repairing rusted sections of pipe and and waterproofing the entire roof. Throughout the team was professional, courteous, and efficient. The work was reasonably priced and included everything (scaffolding etc) and it stayed 100% within the quoted estimate (even when aspects of the project proved more difficult than originally anticipated). It's rare finding quality, honest contractors like this. I recommend Armand and his team without hesitation.

Fantastic, Friendly, Professional Service

Based on the glowing Yelp reviews for EcoSmart Roofer, I contacted the company via their website. Within 24 hours, the owner, Armand Abelitis, contacted me via email to request permission to send a high-resolution camera-equipped drone over our house to inspect the roof so that his team would have an idea of the scope of the work to be done. Armand impressed me with his use of technology, but impressed me even more with his high level of customer service.

From the drone photos, he was able to discern the level of water damage and, therefore, the estimated square footage of dry rot. He prepared an estimate based on the photos, subject to actual physical inspection, of course. After I signed the work authorization, his team was on-site in a matter of days.

I mentioned that we were going to install solar panels, which is why we needed a new roof since the Sunrun team had discovered dry rot in their physical inspection of the roof. Armand worked with the Sunrun team to coordinate their installation of the stanchions for the solar panels so that the mounts would be in place before the EcoSmart team applied waterproof layers of roofing. That way, the mounts would not pierce the roofing material. Kudos to both EcoSmart and Sunrun for working collaboratively to coordinate installation.

The roofing team photographed every step of the process, so that I could see the extent of the damage before their work, the repairs that they made, and the various layers of new roof. The project supervisor, Vavo, was on-site every day to ensure quality, daily clean-up of debris, and customer satisfaction.

At the end of the project, Armand came back with the high-tech drone to make photographs of the finished roof. It was fun to watch how adroitly he maneuvered the drone, as well as the amazing level of detail from the high-resolution photographs.

Armand kept in touch via text or phone calls during the process, as well as following up afterwards. There was one stucco patch on our chimney that I wasn't quite satisfied with (the finish was not as smooth as it should have been). Armand had the team back the next day to reapply and repaint the stucco patch.

Clearly, Armand takes pride in his company's work ... rightfully so. He is attuned to customer service and follow-up, and his team is skilled and professional. I'm quite pleased with the new roof ... and very glad that we chose EcoSmart Roofer for the job.

I searched through yelp when it came time to change my roofing surface. We knew about the problem with roofing at the time when we purchased the property but hoped that we could get another 4-5 years out of it if we did a quick fix. Right away after the purchase of the property we turned to one of the smaller roofing contractors and they came and patched it for us knowing it was a tar-and-gravel roofing application about 30 years old. We called back the contractor that did the patching in a year but they refused to come and service it, we had bad leaks.

We turned to Eco Smart after reading all the good reviews on yelp. Armand was honest and immediately told us that tar and gravel roofing is not repairable. We got a good quote, I got a 20 year warranty and can't be happier. There was a time when we had to install additional exhaust for our water heater and Eco Smart did it right away for free.

Great contractor - perfect service.

As a San Francisco homeowner in the Noe Valley/Mission area, I take great pride in my home/investment. As a former carpenter and life-long perfectionist, I have never been satisfied with the work I hire others to do as I usually need to micromanage & then perfect the job myself after they are done. This was NOT the case with The ECO SMART Team. Mere words cannot communicate how satisfied I am with their work; from first contact to the end of the job, they proved that competence, character, communication, fine craftsmanship & over all customer service is alive & well!

THE SEARCH: I called 5 roofers, and chose Eco Smart Roofers based on the information I gathered from: (1) my initial conversation with Mira (2) their website (3) Yelp Reviews (4) use of high tech tools (5) dedication to ecology (6) their Mission to do everything the Smart way (7) their kind, courteous, professionalism & rather rare, competent communication skills; and (8) their VERY FAIR QUOTE! I use this criteria with anyone I hire, and the other roofers simply didn't measure up.  I am hoping that I can be of service to others by writing this Yelp Review so that your valuable time & money is not wasted in searching for &/or hiring roofers that do not measure up to ECO SMART. As a homeowner & former carpenter, I am 100% confident in ECO SMART & hope that this review will help you in making your decision. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS.

FIRST CONTACT: My first contact was with Mira; a co-owner of Eco Smart, who explained how she uses the latest technology to give me a quote & check for water damage under shingles for instance.  All conversations with Mira revealed that SHE IS AN EXPERT. The next day, my very FAIR & DETAILED QUOTE was emailed to me and they started the job the following week. They told me that it would take 3-4 days, and they were done in exactly 3.5 days!

DAY 1, the team showed up at 8:00 am, and the work began.  The team included; the demolition crew, the building crew, a supervisor that was on the job at all times, and every single day, Mira &/or Armand (the owners of Eco Smart) made sure to stop by numerous times to talk to their crew & check the job. At the end of day one, they were almost done with demolition, which went into the start of the next day because I had FIVE roofs (one on top of the other) that had been installed over the last 130 years; the age of my Victorian home.  Armand assured me that this would not change the cost of the job and it did not, although they hauled away well over a ton of old roof debris.  At the end of EACH day, ALL areas around my home were left CLEANER than they were at the start of the day.

DAY 2 consisted of completion of demolition and the beginning of a NEW ROOF! By the end of the day, the area that once held five layers of shingles was blanketed in high-grade plywood along with new additional framing along side of the roof to ensure that the entire roof, including gutters, had reinforced backing. This was NOT in the original estimate, and took hours of fine craftsmanship to complete, yet I was not charged extra!  

DAY 3 & 4 was spent watching all the new materials get moved from the street level to the roof of my 2 story home via a truck with a conveyer belt that efficiently and safely transported all materials to the roof. ALL areas of the roof were replaced; new shingles, new roofing materials around my chimney and front overhang, rustproofing and shingles above the metal overhang above my bay windows, and roof vents; ALL OF WHICH DID NOT EXIST BEFORE! In the end, my entire roof was removed and replaced in less than 4 days!

INTERACTION: Every single day, I talked with the supervisors, and the owners Mira & Armand, at which time I learned that they are indeed a SMART & GREEN company; proactive in leaving the smallest footprint on the planet while conducting efficient/smart work in everything they do. ALL OLD ROOFING DEBRIS IS RECYCLED.

CONCLUDING REMARKS: By the middle of the fourth day, my entire roof was complete and I continue to be beyond satisfied with ECO SMART ROOFERS & will only call them in the future. While I will not need a new roof in this lifetime, I WILL need a contractor install skylights & when that time comes, I will contact Mira & Armand and hire their sister company, ECO SMART BUILDERS. If I could give Eco Smart 10 stars, I would! If you want a PERFECT JOB DONE & the peace of mind in knowing that you are paying a FAIR PRICE with the added bonus of knowing that you are not contributing to further damage to our planet, hire ECO SMART!  The entire team is the BEST that I have hired, or worked for in the past, in EVERY way. You WILL be satisfied! BTW, the Property Manager of the house next door saw their work and had them install a new flat roof on that unit, in just 2 days & they are presently repairing 30 years of weather damage to his entire back wall. Ill post before & after pics of that when they are done.
THANK YOU ECO SMART ROOFERS & BUILDERS!

Armand and the Eco-Smart Roofer team are as good as it gets - not just as roofing service professionals, possibly as service professionals period. Dealing with them will turn the biggest cynic (me) into a believer that there are still people who conduct their profession with integrity. What I didn't tell Armand was that I used to work within the architectural profession, and so I was incredibly skeptical going into the project that they would do a good job, but ESR, by far from all the other roofers, earned my trust and confidence from the time of the initial inspection. He took plenty of time during the inspection and after to explain anything and everything (I sent 25 emails back and forth after the inspections with questions - to which he answered promptly.)

Like what all the other reviewers stated below, ESR excels in communication. There is nothing that undermines trust and confidence more than someone who doesn't return your call or email. When Armand stated a start date, they were on time and actually started on the date they said they would. They were extremely respectful of my house, neighbors, and cleaned up the site every day - it was as if no one had disturbed the site at all that day. Armand kept in close communication and updated me throughout all 4 days of the project, from when they started, photos and discussions of the progress (unexpected findings like clogged drains - Armand walked me through options and helped me weigh each one), and when they ended and closed up the house each day. I cannot express to you how crucial this is for one's anxiety when dealing with such a project as replacing a roof - will they do a quality, durable job? I am sure is the question that goes through anyone's mind. Throughout the whole experience, I literally left it all up to them and by the end of 4 days, I had a brand new roof and no longer fear the rainy winters SF has been dumping the past 3 years. They took into consideration every single thing pertaining to a watertight roof - the membranes, the slope, the skylights, the drains, the makeshift plywood shelters over skylights and atrium, etc. Another roofer would have easily cared about just the membrane, but left untouched other important parts of the roof like the connections between the skylights. They do not cut corners - they do it the right way with a view towards durability, and their 10 year warranty says all that.

On a side note, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Armand also saved me $$$. They coincided their start date with the scaffolding folks. The scaffolding folks did not show up, so Armand and his team got creative and found a way to work around not having the scaffold but still have it be safe for his team to mount the roof. For me, that really speaks to their experience.

Armand and his team really showed me what true customer service meant not just all throughout the project, but even after the project was done. Days later, I realized debris from repairing the skylight and asked him if it could be cleaned up - no problem, he offers HAPPILY to come the next day to wash everything clean. That is the definition of taking pride in one's work. This is high-tech, eco-conscious work, but carried out the old-fashioned way - with hard work, promptness, pride, integrity, and passion (Armand is one of the liveliest of people you will meet). Thank you so much, ESR!

We were exceedingly happy with Ecosmart.

Victorian buildings bring charm to this city but they are expensive to maintain and require constant attention. Over the past several months, we have been spending an enormous amount of time trying to figure out how and when we would get a new roof. Assuming the worst, we felt we would have to get scaffolding and pay a lot of money for the scaffolding.

After getting a bid from a contractor to replace our roof and facade, we were discouraged as we could not afford to fix the roof and improve our facade. After some discussion we decided to call a few roofers snd see what replacing the roof would require and cost.

Thankfully we saw all of the five star reviews of EcoSmart on Yelp. Team EcoSmart had us fill out an online survey, sent a drone to inspect our roof, gave us several references and communicated quickly and consistently with us. All of the references could not say enough good.  It seemed almost too good to be true.

However, after interviewing others we felt best about Ecosmart. They didn't use scaffolding and efficiently removed the 4 layers of roof we had. Armand came at the beginning of the job to get things started and give instructions to his team. We had two supervisors in our job which took three days. I'm not sure if they were training one or if that is typical. Both supervisors were focused on safety and worked well with our neighbor who is behind difficult. Our difficult neighbor had such a good experience he is going to hire them now. The workers were respectful, focused, kind. I spoke with one of the men fixing our garage roof. He told me he had worked for Armand for 10 years and loves the company. In his experience, employees are treated very well and therefore there is little turnover so the men all know how to work efficiently as a team and are happy with their experience, treatment and have a sense of loyalty.  This team was professional, intelligent and left me with no worries. I assumed I would be getting called all day. Nope. This team had it all under control. Plus, they have invested in equipment from cranes to conveyor belts to make the process efficient.

They would clean up in an extremely detailed fashion every night.  I saw one man looking over our dirt plot, that was once grass before the drought, to make sure there was no debris from the roof removal.

These guys work 7 am to 6 pm! They got a flat torch down roof, a pitched roof and fixed our detached garage roof finished in 3 days!  Plus they had to remove a cedar shake roof and 4 layers of asphalt as well as tar and gravel.  Honestly, a fantastic experience. We love this company and will ask them to bid on our facade improvement when we are ready to do it.  

Oh, they keep up with latest technology! They will have photos of our old and new roof on the cloud.

Fantastic experience. Thanks Team EcoSmart.

What kind of roofer will show up in 8 minutes around 9:00 on a rainy night to check on a leak that probably wasn't even from the roof?  Eco Smart, that's who!  They had put in a beautiful new roof for a us a few years back, and I still had their number in my phone, so I called hoping they could help find a quick solution.  Literally just a couple minutes after sending him a video of the leak, Erast called to tell me he'd be at the house in 8 minutes to take a look.  Based on the volume of water he saw leaking in the video, and the location, he told me he thought the leak downstairs was being caused by an overflowing drain in the light well (not the roof he had put in a couple years ago).  Even though he didn't suspect a roofing problem, he still came over immediately to check it out.  The drain was indeed the problem, and he took the time to clean it out and get rid of the standing water that had been causing the problem.  (And all at no charge.) Thanks!  It's great to work with contractors who take such pride in service.

If you don't want to read the review, know that Eco Smart Roofer deserves their 5 stars.

We knew we needed a new roof. We have been putting it off because we haven't had any rain. So El Nino comes around and it's dumping and I'm huddling in my house like one of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf is blowing down my house. Water started coming through our stove vent and I knew we couldn't put off on fixing our roof any longer. Actually we could have because it stopped raining and we patched up the vent.

I called Eco Smart Roofer and they told me to put in a service request online. We knew we wanted a new roof and not a repair. I put in a request online and then was asked to allow them to fly a drone over my building. I approved through email. A few days pass and I didn't hear back from Eco Smart so I gave them a ring. I spoke with Armand and he said he was busy but to send him an email so he can be reminded to send me a quote. After a few days I still didn't receive anything so I followed-up. I received a quote a few days later with an apology. I knew they were busy and I wasn't upset because every time I emailed, he responded, not like that other roofing company. I received a quote and boy was I shocked. I knew it was going to be expensive but I was still shocked. On top of that, we knew we had other things that would come up that needed to be fixed.

I signed the agreement on Friday for work to start on Monday without ever meeting Armand. I was nervous. Was Eco Smart going to live up to it's reviews? Sometimes I feel like we choose a 5 star company and end up getting an entirely different experience than everyone else.  Armand went over the other areas that needed to be fixed that wasn't in the quote. I liked that Armand came up with suggestions and always gave at least two options. He took the time to explain everything. He has great ideas so make sure you listen to him. Armand also looked around our house and told us areas that needed to be addressed. They were not roof related and he was not going to gain anything out of it.

Vlad made sure that our bathroom was taped up so the debris from the roof would not fall through while they were working on our skylight. Vlad took pictures of the progress and uploaded them to the cloud for us.

At one point during the process we found a soft spot in the flat roof. We asked about it and it was because our roof slats had two holes in them. They reinforced that spot and is no longer soft.

They finished the job in 3 days. They worked from 7:30am to 5pm. They work hard and fast. More importantly, they did a great job. I talked to a few of the guys and could tell that they were proud of their work and knew what they were doing. The job site was cleaned up everyday.

This a what I loved about Eco Smart:
We had gotten several estimates for roofs, and it seemed with each roofer I had to hound them for the estimate after they came over, only to be told there was also a several month wait time. I called Armand at Eco Smart and right off the bat it was a completely different experience than I had with others. They send a drone over to take photos, and I had my estimate quickly. The proposal was by far more detailed than others, and they were available sooner than anyone else.

Once we met Armand we knew for sure we would go with Eco Smart. He is not only professional, he also educates as he explains. He carefully explained every step and was never too busy for us when we had questions. He was an invaluable resource.  Not only that, his enthusiasm is contagious...I never thought I would be so excited about getting a new roof, and I think this new roof is pretty sexy.  It really does make the whole house feel different.

And not only did they get to our roof a few weeks ahead of schedule, the turnaround time was just over a week for a 4,000 sq. foot roof. The crew that was here was fantastic; everyone was so nice and considerate. After the roof was done and it rained, Armand was here to inspect and make sure everything was good. I can't say enough good things about Armand and his crew, and the experience we had with them. We are planning on having the exterior of our house done in the fall and we already know we will use Eco Smart because we know the job will be done above and beyond our expectations.

Erast, Nik, Alexi and team are professional, super communicative, and go the extra mile to make sure everything with a project goes perfectly. I emailed them and Erast came by promptly the next day. A few days later we had a fair and straightforward quote for the work. We had a pretty complicated job since our Noe Valley house was built in 1900 and had never had a new roof before -- it was about 3 or 4 layers of new roofing material, one on top of the other. Apparently that was a cheaper way to do things. Since we just bought, we wanted to get it right.

The roofers came by on a Friday morning and started to strip off the roofing material, which continued another day. Re-shingling then took place for another two days. Along the way, one of our interior ceilings ended up getting poked through by a nail coming out the other end. Erast made sure a someone came by to fix it right away and you can't even tell there was a hole there anymore.

I'm impressed with this team, and it was a totally transparent and painless process to get a new roof on our house. Would work with them again in a heartbeat. Recommended.

We had an emergency roofing situation at my family's apartment building in San Francisco. Water was leaking into the building, and had caused all kinds of scary havoc (ie. mold, sagging balcony, etc). We needed to get work done on the building emergently, and Eco Smart Roofer did the estimate quickly, and started the construction almost immediately. Armand had to pull all kinds of permits form the city because of the dangerous nature of the work (apt building is on a hill and next to power lines). The construction looks amazing and he couldn't have been any nicer or more responsive to emails and calls. We even had a situation where our lawyer (shame on him) was not clear about the exact move-in date for the tenants, so Eco Smart had to work around this tenants schedule. He was surprisingly relaxed about this, which was VERY MUCH appreciated.

Excellent work, excellent customer service, very professional and frankly pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend his services to any and all!

Really happy with these guys. Work was completed faster than expected. No tar is a great option and they guarantee their work. Armand and co. are super responsive as well. Highly recommended.

Had a incident with water leaks in the living room since 2 nights, it started with the rains and led me to believe it was  the roof, reaching out to Erast/Erik and his team, I got immediate help to explore a few possible root causes, until a roofing contractor would come out. Erast was very kind and helpful in triaging the issue, since it turned out not to be a roofing issue, but a drainage or some other cause as water continued to drip even after 24 hrs post rain stopped. He was gracious to stop by at the place amidst his busy  schedule and hint at possible sprinkler systems been the culprit and advised to immediately call the fire dept. It worked, it was infact the sprinklers, it was a nightmare to diagnose the root cause, super glad this team came by and helped us. thanks again Erast. best wishes from our end. I cant emphasize more than what Gene P below wrote,  He did all of this without us paying him a dime!  I highly recommend working with Erast, it's such a nice feeling to have an honest, helpful company that legitimately cares about people being taken care of.  I've never had this level of support from a construction company.  Thanks!, it was blessing to have his help during these holidays and covid times.

When I first reached out to the folks at Eco Smart, they sent an HD Drone system with thermal imaging to evaluate my building's re-roofing needs including the amount of dry rot that needed repair. Armand came back with a competitive bid and worked with me to break down and prioritize my home renovation projects (they also own/operate Eco Smart Builder).

During the timely 3.5 day project right before the rainy season hit, Armand and Denys made sure everything went smoothly and according to plan. Their team replaced the main flat building roof, all the flues and sills, plus the mansard shingles safely without scaffolding! When we realized that a skylight also needed repair/replacement, they were able to get a custom skylight installed on the final half day too.

The next day it poured. We returned to do a final inspection and Denys sent me HD photos of their top quality workmanship. Thank you!

We haven't actually received roofing services because we live outside the service area. However, Armand has been super helpful as a free consultant working with me and answering my questions to be sure I don't get swindled. I wish he would expand to my city and it is obvious that he puts great care, quality and attention into his work.

I don't usually write reviews about businesses, but these guys are going above and beyond what's promised. 

Long and painful story short, we have 45 building community here in San Francisco near Park Merced, we looked for roofers and to be honest with you - most of them are fakes and flakes, we've suffered for over six months, comparing proposals, talking about possible change orders trying to narrow down on the actual price for replacement. All prices were completely different and there was no clarity in anything.

Eco Smart Roofers gave us a clear price, they used thermal imaging and other scanning hardware to predict the amount of damage we have and the quote was transparent, I love transparency!

This was the easiest, most pain free project that I ever watched, guys are really good, crew is experienced and staff is very easy to communicate with.

Best,
Eric

Like a charm! This contracting crew is truly pain free. While I contacted few firms prior to signing - these guys shocked me with their professionalism and tactical approach. I loved everything about them, professionalism, knowledge, speed and the fact that they are licensed. Approach is what's different, fast, efficient and cool. We were in need of new roof and I searched for weeks to find someone creditable. Called Eco Smart and in few days I got on their schedule for the initial inspection, two inspectors came and inspected every little detail in our home, there was a long process of throwing questions at them after the inspection, all passed. Few days later we got the inspection report with pictures and legal explanations, got into contract the same day and the Project was scheduled. Crew showed up on time and we had our entire roof replaced in four days, it was magical and very easy. Entire job site was cleaned up every day including our neighbors backyards, they were very sensitive to our neighbors request and one of our neighbors even got a free car wash from them. Great contractor!!!!

Eco Smart is the best on market today, this high end contractor worked efficiently with our solar installer, the entire roof was replaced in 4 days which included solar stantion installation and waterproofing. Eco Smart is not cheap but they are worth every penny, superb communication, high end tools, deep knowledge of the subject. It's always a pleasure to communicate with them, they go above and beyond to make customers happy and I can respect that. I recommend this contractor to anyone shopping around for roofing contractors or exterior waterproofing.

Noticed our bathroom had a slight leak in the roof and contacted Eco Smart to come and give me an estimate. What I got was more than just an estimate.  Erast came to the house and checked, analyzed and took photos of all damaged areas in the entire house. I decided to hire Erast and his staff as opposed to getting other quotes because of how detailed and precise the report was. Eco Smart listed everything that needed  immediate attention and also indicated which items were not as important for now.  I felt comfortable choosing Eco Smart because I didn't feel pressured into having to buy something that wasn't needed.  Erast was very good at communicating and responding in a timely manner which I definitely appreciate. They were also very clean and always cleaned up everyday.  Erast and his staff are just so pleasant and really a pleasure to work with.  I'm very glad I found Eco Smart!

Eco Smart Roofers are a very easy to work company. They are not the cheapest roofing contractor out there but they definitely are sharp and know what they are doing. Very efficient staff and very fast workers, punctual, knowledgeable, reliable.

We had to replace a pitched roof on a Victorian, this was a very complex project from the beginning but it was completed very efficiently and on time. We did have some delays due to weather but when the project started - crew shined.

I would totally recommend these guys to anyone who asks, few of my neighbors are in talks about their roofs with Eco Smart.

They were a delight to work with for a number of reasons:
1.  I dealt mainly with Erast (manager/one of the owners? not sure) who was very personable, listened carefully to what I needed, was very responsive by text
2.  On the initial inspection, instead of doing hours of inspecting work and pics and write ups for $600, they walked up, looked around, told me I needed a new roof (which I pretty much already knew) and didn't bother or charge with the inspection which saved me the money and I appreciated it.  
3.  Unlike the other roofing co, they noticed and pointed out to me that there was an old door stuck between my house and the one next door in a windowell that had been boarded up and had dry rot.  Their cost WAS higher than the other quote I got - but the other quote didn't include the door replace/painting, the roof slope, or water damage underneath.  I appreciated that the cost was high up front but didn't increase during the project at all.
4.  They were timely, the other manager I interacted with was also great, and everyone just had good vibes.  Workers seemed happy too.
Overall:  roofs are expensive but so important that I didn't want to mess around with a job that wasn't the best and am very glad I went with this company!

Fabulous contractor who keeps their word!

We first contacted Eco Smart in spring 2016, they were extremely busy but very courteous, this contractor does have a little flaw, they do everything through email and online forms, we weren't used to it at first as I'm the type of guy who likes to speak to someone but the world is changing and we already have self driving cars in SF, we gave it a try. The new ways definitely point to efficiency, if I had to describe Eco Smart using three words, these would be: Quality, Logistics and Efficiency.

Very open and transparent they are fabulous managers and are great at saving time and cutting excess. They would not come out to look at the project twice, they do it once and everything is documented, there will be no tape measuring involved - sizes of your roofing system are recorded using Eagle View service, no yellow notepad with pencils - IPads instead, no miniature cameras - 4K Instagram type photos uploaded to cloud based folder.

They used cranes instead of manual lifts, they drive efficient diesel trucks instead of gas sucking monsters, they speak of quality of the roof same way my wife speaks of shoes.

We did not reserve to a lowest bid, out of 5 Eco Smart was the 4th highest, we chose them for the passion for work which radiated through every sentence in the email. They are clean, organized and highly professional, our neighbor relations have actually improved since Eco Smart  cleaned neighbors driveways and gave out two detailing vouchers to two cars that didn't move even though the non parking sign was in force and posted.

I'm a professional and I love dealing with same type of people. Our building is expensive and the fact that it's situated in San Francisco makes it priceless, we wanted to have professionals perform the work, we did.

Looking back at this roofing replacement experience we smile and if you want the same for yourself - chose these guys.

Always happy, always laughing, never annoyed or displeased, they don't work on Saturdays or Sunday's as those days reserved for family and friends plus they don't like to piss off neighbors. I respect Eco Smart for their customer service and quality of finished product.

Eco Smart Roofer put a new roof on my Edwardian apartment building in Mission Dolores.  I liked the following about Eco Smart:

1) They could assess the condition of the roof without my being present because they could fly a drone over my building.  The thermal scans of the roof indicate where water has penetrated below the roof because wet wood has a different thermal signature than dry wood.

2) Eco started on the job just 4 days after I accepted their roof replacement proposal because I had scaffolding up in front of the building.  Their thinking was that they would place the garbage chute down the scaffolding although they never actually used the scaffolding in the job.  They finished in 3 days.  Other roofing firms were scheduling out into the summer.

3) Eco provides a 10-year warranty and free inspections every 2 years whereas other firms are offering only 5-year warranties.

We had to replace our roof on a very tall Victorian building here in SF, called Eco Smart and from the moment they picked up the phone to the point when the job was completed - Eco Smart rocked!

We communicated with Armand at first but didn't have time to meet on site, guess what? They sent a drone with thermal imaging to look over the roof and estimate damage.

We got the estimate the same day, very professional and efficient firm!

Call Armand, you will not regret it!

Had a great experience with Eco Smart Roofers!

My front porch was a mess... Dry rot from years of rain and in need of repair. Unfortunately the porch is above the downstairs living room and is considered a roof, which typically needs a construction company for the removal of the porch and the laying the wood as well as a roofer. Fortunately I found these guys and they did the whole job!

The finished porch is perfect! Really happy with how it turned out! The job was quick and seamless.

Armand, Chris and the rest of the crew were awesome. Seriously good guys. Great energy, good people! I would most def recommend them to friends and will be calling them in the future for any more roofing needs!

:D

These guys are the Cadillac of roofers. I was a little leery at first because their bid was certainly higher than the others. But I had my house inspected twice before I bought it. Not only did these guys pick up all the damage that the 2 inspectors found, but they found some other structural damage that also needed to be fixed before putting on the roof. They gave a very detailed report, complete with photographs marked up to show exactly what they found, why it was a problem, moisture content measurements, etc.

They were very flexible with my schedule, meeting me as early as 6:30 AM.  They also clearly pushed to get the job done before the rains came, asking to let them work on weekends to beat the wet weather. They worked with me to combine work on the front of the house to save some cost on scaffolding, etc, and also worked with my solar panel contractors.  You may pay more than some of the other guys, but they were professional through and through and I am confident that I won't have to worry about this roof for decades to come.

These guys are great!  Although they were booked, they took the time to answer all of my emails (I had many!) and helped me come up with a temporary fix for my upper level deck.  They gave me clear recommendations and had no problem sharing their expertise with a random person, for free. I felt like I was communicating with a friend.

I can't wait until they expand their services to the Peninsula.  I'll be sure to contact them when it's time to replace my roof!

Excellent service. On time, efficient and thorough and gave me all the information I needed to figure out the best solution for my roof leak.

Armand and his team run a business that is second to none. They have great work ethics, are very responsive to your needs, and take pride in their work.
I had my roof replaced by them. The work went so well and I was so happy that I would recommend them to my friends and family. They are the people that you could rely on.

Armand, Dima, and the Eco Smart Roofer team are just awesome. Very experienced, professional, responsive, clear, and just great people to work with. It's been by far the best experience I've had with any contractor of any type for house work.

Starting from the beginning, I had a bit of a leak towards the end of the 2016-17 rainy season.  So I called Eco Smart to take a look at my roof. Armand and Dima did a very thorough inspection of my roof and house.  They took dozens if not hundreds of pictures and thoroughly explained the status of my roof (not in a good state - the membrane was basically completed gone and over half of the spanish tiles cracked or otherwise broken) as well as the rest of the exterior of the house (apparently the paint job I got a couple of years ago wasn't all that great; they pointed out multiple spots on the exterior walls that needed work).

They were ready to start the next month, but I got busy with work and travel and didn't end up kicking things off until early December '17. Armand said they could certainly start in mid Jan and possibly earlier. To my surprise, he managed to start just a week and change later (mid Dec). The work on my completely new roof took only a couple of weeks. It was amazing how quickly they made progress and finished the job. All throughout there were constant updates from Armand, complete with pictures (they also have a drone for even more fun pics!).

There were minor hiccups here and there. For instance, after the work was complete, Armand and team powerwashed all the exterior of my house. That had the unfortunate side effect of frying all the christmas lights I had hung up outside. When I raised this with Armand, he happily replaced the lights at his own cost, even stringing the new ones up identically to how they were originally. The powerwashing also caused some issues with my garage, and again Armand had a garage door guy come out to take a look at it, again without any additional cost to me. Finally, earlier in the project, there was an issue where one day the garage door was left open. We couldn't figure out if it was someone from the Eco Smart team or a friend/family member of mine, but Armand installed two Nest Cams at my house to monitor the exterior of my building for the duration of the project, just in case something like that happened again.

I do want to point out that Eco Smart will have a price tag that is likely higher than other roofers out there. That did concern me at first, but after my experience with them, I believe it was worth every penny (i.e. while the price may be higher, the value is most certainly much higher as well!). Most importantly, their work is impeccable and they support it for years to come (I believe they come out every year or two to check the roof and do necessary maintenance). In addition, as noted above, Armand just takes care of everything. He's extremely communicative and handles any problems that arise.

Overall I'm very happy with Eco Smart Roofer. They came in on budget (exactly on budget) and in record time (about three weeks in total from scaffolding up to scaffolding down). I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get roof work done!

Eco Smart Roofer is a high end and high tech roofing contractor, they are definitely not cheap but when it comes to professional leak detection using latest technology and knowledgeable licensed inspectors they prevail. Out of the 5 reputable roofing contractors that we invited to investigate the leak Eco Smart Roofer proved to be the most competent and informative. The inspection report that we received was very detailed and included all items for exterior waterproofing envelope and for the roof as well. We ended up with just a minor repair on our building instead of a full replacement recommended by other contractors. Even though we spent $585 on the initial inspection with Eco Smart we ended up saving thousands on the actual repair! Great contractor, reliable and honest. Would definitely recommend!

We had a very hard time finding a roofing contractor that can come, inspect our roof and assess the condition of the roofing surface in an email to the HOA board. We had 3 contractors come in and give us a bid, prices ranged from 18k to 26k (it's a big roof by the way). When it was time to make a decision, HOA board was not able to determine the existing roofing condition based on the three quotes we got, we called all three contractors back but there was no solid answer, they never provided us with anything documenting our condition - just a proposal for replacement.

We called Eco Smart Roofer - Armand came in in two days, right from the start I knew that there was something different about this contractor, the way they dress, they talk, the tools they use. They even measured our roof with lasers and documented in the tablet, they took HD photos of every flashing failure, every crack and every abnormality got recorded, they asked me to get access to interior of the units on the floor below roof, they actually measured moisture concentration levels with their wireless moisture meters and mapped out the interior, estimating process with Eco Smart took 12 minutes vs other three contractors with tape measures and paper notes - 30-45 minutes.

Eco smart sent us an email the same day with the scope of work and a link to a cloud folder with our HD pictures. HOA board made the decision next day to go with Eco Smart.

Installation was only two days and it was NOT crazy. Except for periodic banging on the roof, the neighborhood almost did not realize that there was a massive 4500 square feet roof being torn down and completely changed. No crazy man running around, no accidents, no falling debris, no traffic.

Crew was also color coded - Red guys are laborers, Green guys are superintendents, they made it easy by sending an email to all tenants asking to talk only to the green guys if there are any questions.

I'm impressed and I would never expect something of this magnitude from your local roofing contractor. Did I say that they are also green? Their new Sprinter vans get 40 miles per gallon and use recycled oil from restaurants? Little smelly though, I hate junk food!

I couldn't be happier with EcoSmart! They exhibit all the qualities I look for in a contractor:
1. They are communicative
2. They were respectful of my space and schedule
3. They do quality work that they stand behind and don't nickel-and-dime you

More on each point:

Communicative: We scheduled the work in November when I discovered a leak in a skylight, and this was a very rainy year. So, they estimated a window for me but made sure I understood where I was in the queue and that the weather could allow them to go faster or slower. They kept me informed as to how things were progressing. They ended up offering me an earlier time slot, but it was going to overlap with when we had guests, so they moved on to someone else and gave me the next window.

Respectful of space and schedule: The work was done much faster than I expected and a little faster than they forecast. I'm used to the opposite. And, every day, they left the workspace clean and organized so I didn't have to live in a mess around my home.

Quality Work: The work was done in December of an extremely rainy year. The roof has held-up well through my time writing this in May. I have 5 skylights and a bay window that has a glass roof. I had water getting into my garage because of leaks between my home and the neighbor's home. All was great the first time except the bay window.

I had been fighting with leaks in that bay window for 7 years, and when Armand came to give me a quote, it was covered in plastic. I was getting ready to just ask him to take it off, but he felt he could fix it. I was skeptical, but I figured it was worth a try. After the first few rains, it looked fine, but then it started to leak a little. I called Armand, and he came to look with his team--I figured they would just try to patch some stuff with caulk, but they didn't take short-cuts. They ripped out a bunch of the work they did and re-patched it. It took a few days, including painting. And, after a few weeks of a lot of rain, it is holding strong!

In addition, there were a few surprises as they peeled off layers of my roof that we think might have been decades old. He never made any excuses to charge me more - the price was the price. He didn't come in with a low bid with the intention of charging me more later. He came in with an honest bid and did everything necessary to good quality work.

I suspect you might see lower quotes, but I wonder if those bidders will come back to do 3 more days of work, for no additional charge, if something goes wrong.

These guys are great! Even though I did not go with Eco Smart Roofer for my repairs I loved the service they provided! I purchased a $125 roofing evaluation from them and had a team come out to inspect my roof, my roof is high and there is no access to it but I was surprised by the technology presented by Eco Smart, in less than two hours I had a full email report with my current roofing condition and path of repairs needed.

Very good and responsible firm.

I am not sure how many stars to give because I have not received any service from this Roofer, and I am also not sure if it exists.  I was never able to talk to anyone one on the phone, and the responses to my emails were slow.  Thus, I drove directly to the company at 3 different addresses listed on the internet, but it was not at any of those 3 locations.  Finally, I received an email from Eco Smart Roofer after I sent it my last email to share with the company that I was not able to find it any of the 3 listed physical addresses.  In its last email to me, Eco Smart Roofer said it was not able to provide me its service.  I did not say any offending remarks or complaint in my last email; I only said I hoped Eco Smart Roofer would respond to my email ASAP

Really happy with Armand and the Ecosmart crew.  To begin with, I had a number of roofers provide me estimates.  Ecosmart was the only company with a women providing the apprasial.  Mira was wonderful.  A little monkey climbing over the roof, exploring what was needed.  The other companies did a quick look over and a standard response to my roofing needs.  As a home owner trying to maintain my 100 year old victorian, I really appreciated her attention to detail.  They were also the only company who provided the white roof.  From my understanding, these singles reflect light the best and have the longest lifespan.

Once the work began I met Armand and the roofing team.  Really nice, competant group of workers.  Armand reviewed all work each morning and gave me room to share any concerns.  We had some trouble reinstalling skylights and Armand was right there making sure all was done right.

Following my positive experience with Eco I recommended the company to a friend.  Armand really appreciated my referral and provided a number of discounts demonstrating his appreciation.  

As a women, I can often feel contractors speaking over me, not so with Armand.  I felt a genuine respect from both him and his crew.

In terms of the quality of roofing.  I personally inspected their work after each day and the work was immaculate.  The crew was very hard working and respectful.  They also did a good cleaning at the end of each day.  It was easy having them here during the job.

I was really pleased with my overall experience with the company

These guys just replaced our sloped roof on a business and did a great job. Communication was easy and project went smooth even though there were complications along the way. Armando was responsive and all neighbors ended up being completely satisfied with this five day project.

Great company with no headache.

Needed a roof. Asked for a quote. These jokers want over $500 to come out to look at the roof. The $500+ is deducted if you use them, if not, you lose your money. Ridiculous. I know I need a new roof. I don't need some hi tech gimmick to figure it out.

Eco Smart Roofer was a hit from the moment when I started searching for roofers on Yelp. I usually go though all the negative reviews of the company first prior to making a decision. On costly things like roofing I wanted to make no mistake, I also have been told by our realtor and the inspector that when you choose a roofing contractor in San Francisco, it's important to go with the local company that does roofs in San Francisco and is not from another county as the weather conditions and code requirements are very specific to San Francisco and it's important to understand it when you're looking for the right contractor.

Communication was very efficient and solid, guys knew what they were talking about, got a quote the same day, scheduled the repair for next week, they looked at weather forecast and I felt that I'm in good hands.

Great job on the roofing replacement, everything was left cleaned and even the building inspector said that this is one of the best companies today in San Francisco.

I definitely recommend these guys, they are pretty funny too.

Eco Smart Roofer replaced our roof in a very timely manner  which helped us beat the rain season.  Armand and his team were knowledgeable and courteous.  Most of all they painted the flashing to match the original color of our walls as a bonus.  

We recommend Eco Smart Roofer.

I wouldn't trust anyone else to fix my roof after working with Armand of Eco Smart Roofers. Not only did he patiently answer all of my questions (we're talking 30+ emails back and forth), but he also repaired the substandard roof on my house promptly and efficiently. My house is quite old, and the roof was sagging quite a bit. That said, it was roofed recently- unfortunately, the old roofers did a substandard job. Armand carefully evaluated what needed to be done, was transparent about the costs, and his estimate was on par with other places. I could've saved some money going with another place, but I didn't trust anyone else to go into the roof and fix the dry rot without trying to screw me over. He's also a straight up nice guy- highly recommend!

Fantastic roofer. My family and I were moving back to San Francisco from abroad and discovered that our house had internal water damage from a leak. It was the rainiest winter in quite a while and we needed the roof replaced as quickly as possible to prevent further damage. Eco Smart was able to get an inspector out within a week, and then got us scheduled in a brief 2 day break in the rain to replace our roof. The job ended up being more complex than we initially thought due to some dry-rot in a light well, but the Eco Smart team walked me through what they saw and were able to handle most of the extra work without further cost. These guys went above and beyond my expectations. I'm very pleased with the result!

Great and responsive roofing contractor, we originally met them through their inspection division and really loved dealing with responsive and responsible contractor. They will not be your cheapest bid for sure but if you are looking for quality and customer service - it's unmatched. My neighbors took photos in front of their project and told us that they have never seen a cleaner job site. Everyone at eco smart always smiles, they never work on holidays or weekends to generate only the postitive feelings in neighborhood. All of their trucks are multi function, they feed on solar power and record surroundings and also are registered as official emergency vehicles. After talking with a dozen contractors and dealing with excuses, issues with licensing and lack of proper insurance I can safely say that eco smart defines responsible contracting today and they lead the industry with their technological advancements that are deeply embedded into service they provide. A roofer, a general contractor, inspector with obsessive compulsive sense of quality, eco smart is all of that and so much more. Emails are answered within hours of receipt, staff are available to answer any questions you may have at any moment. Drone photoshoots of the finished projects? They are unreal and it's not just another contractor, it's an eco smart experience. My roof is top notch and my contractor matches in every way. I have not had any dissapointments with this company, they were perfect at every stage.

How can i say this?

They are awesome in every way. Reliable, honest, up front and very much represent my favorite saying - you always get what you pay for.

I paid for efficiency and professionalism. I don't regret for one second that i went with eco smart.

Great roofing job on a big commercial project. Fast and responsive.

Just finished having a complete replacement of both a flat roof and sloped roof on a 105 year old San Francisco home, which had, as one would expect with such an old house, not only an abundance of leaks and dampness issues, additional surprises came forth with dry rot and related structural issues. Having had numerous roofers and contractors out for inspections and bids and been given widely different quotes and opinions, we had been recommended Eco Smart and were impressed by their immediate ability to get the issues we faced, assess the true scope of the work, provide numerous options and corresponding pricing on how to deal with it all, and work with us on timing and budget. In addition they were responsive to phone and email communications, provided helpful advice, technical information and links to roofing product sites, and, an important factor for us, ecologically minded and focussed, recycling and working with existing material as much as possible.
In our case we needed a complete reroofing of both roofs, also installing solar panels on the flat roof portion so having new roof and new panels lasting 25+ years together an important consideration. The solar installer had to be factored in early to the scheduling and process, because Eco Smart had to be able to seal over and waterproof around the penetrating solar panel stanchions before proceeding to the next layer of roofing materials, all of which was coordinated by Armand efficiently, and he was ably assisted by the onsite superintendent Vova, who was on hand all the time and managed the daily workflow. The teams of roofers working on all the different stages over a period of more than a week were always professional, super hard working, kept a clean jobsite and together have many years of local roofing experience, including earthquake considerations by offering and installing Simpson hangers for seismic reinforcement, which no other roofers had included.
Eco Smart handled all aspects of the demolition, hauling, clearing, dry rot repairing, framing, shingle installation, modified bitumen torchdown, skylight installations, chimney removal and vent replacement, flashing, finishing of RoofTek on the flat roof portions with efficiency and went the extra mile on many of the issues that came up. This included repairing and resurfacing the leaking roof area above a bay window, and then adding waterproofing and replacement of wood shakes on the front overhang and fascia, which had various difficult repair aspects associated with it that Armand and his team handled with great attention to detail and craftsmanship.
The icing on the cake was Armand bringing over his latest high tech drone to fly over the property and shoot video and still photos of the roof from multiple angles to have a record of the beautiful finished roof work. In addition Armand and Vova took photos of the entire process from start to finish and provided those to us as well via Dropbox, all part of the great service! I have uploaded some of the photos to Yelp to show different views.
Eco Smart Roofer also has a sister company Eco Smart Builder who worked on some of this project and we have some additional construction work that we are hiring Armand and Eco Smart Builder for as part of the next phase. It is great to have a one-stop shop of professionals with an integrated approach to work on all the different aspects needed:  construction, remodeling, roofing, even painting and environmental testing.
Many thanks to Armand, Vova and the entire team at Eco Smart Roofer for a great experience.

These guys are absolutely terrific. This just happened today, we had a leak in our roof due to the beginning of the rainy season, skylight in the master bedroom leaked and luckily this wasn't serious and could be repaired right away.
We called around to few roofing contractors, 6 to be exact, we either got turned away because our job was not big enough or the earliest availability was weeks away, some even offered us a special price on our 8 year old roofing.

I'm glad we called Eco Smart, they came within 20 minutes, our roof was repaired within 2 hours and we have all high definition pictures delivered to us through cloud from before and after the job.

Definitely the company to call when you're in a jam.

What else can I say about a company on a mission to save a planet one roof at a time? Great!

No, it wasn't cheap to go with Eco Smart but yes, they are that good! I'm obsessive compulsive when it comes to service, it just must be done smart and it must be done right. Eco Smart Roofers did not disappoint and I knew where every penny went.

In a way it's like buying a Tesla, you pay premium to live smarter. This company did not cheap out on anything and went above and beyond proposed scope. The communication was easy and precise, our property was protected all the way and strangely enough - the whole experience was very pleasant and enjoyable.

Go with this contractor and you'll be treated with respect. Eco Smart stand up to its name with pride.

As a small business owner I know value and professional workmanship.

I had quite a complicated project in my mom's house. So, I was calling around and checking different roofing companies. Many of them wouldn't even return my call the same day but Eco Smart Roofers caught my attention from the very first minute of our phone conversation. Well, I decided to give them a try; even though, they seem to be on the market not for decades.

I should admit I have done the right decision choosing this company!  

Eco Smart Roffers is the best example of hardworking and  professional company. They keep up with the California building code. They are clean and efficient.

I got a complete new roof from these guys: tear off, re-sheet, and new roof. Besides the efficient work they did I want to mention their honesty with an estimate and explaining the whole process in details.

My mom is happy. Thank you, Eco Smart Roofers!

Bottom line, if you want your project to get done fast and right, its worth it to hire these company!

If there were a 6 Star Option on Yelp, Eco Smart would get it. I can't say enough about these guys. We had our roof re-done with them and are now in subsequent conversations about some additional work with our downspout and draining systems.  The main reasons for the rating:

1) impeccable work (the most important thing, right?)
2) unbelievable service and bedside manner
3) they are on the forefront of technology and innovation
4) honest and NICE people
5) reliable and do what they say
6) excellent communicators over phone and email and very responsive - this is so uncommon among all trades. they have it down
7) Armand is a solid guy and as good as they come

I could go on. Just call them. You won't regret it

When storms hit last year we developed a semi serious leak that we weren't able to identify. We weren't sure where it came from and looked around for solutions. Found about five good contractors online and met them on site. Each had a story that differed from another, we did not know who to believe, some after further examination turned out unlicensed, some were uninsured. We are very careful about choosing a firm that works on our building as we had bad experiences before. Eco Smart came highly recommended but paying $585 for an inspection sounded over the top for us, we hesitated until the moment last contractor told us that the roof needs to be ripped off and west wall needed to be partially rebuilt. Inspection wait time was about two weeks and Eco Smart showed up as promised, on time, inspection took about an hour and we had every square inch of our  home inspected and scanned, two inspectors were sharp and knew more about our home than us by the time inspection finished. They generated a super detailed report and gave us the final thoughts on needed repair right after inspection. We needed to replace few flashings around skylights and repair ridge of the roofing system. We scheduled with this company and within five days had the work completed. We are super happy with Eco Smart and may I note that they are also the only contractor that is licensed in B General and C39 Roofing by the CSLB, they also carry full liability insurance and workmen compensation, Eco Smart is the way to go.

From start to finish Eco Smart was on top of it all! It began from us getting 5 quotes from local contractors to replace our roofing covering. Let's start with the sad story first;

Long story short, we decided to go with the lowest bid at first as we did not have enough money in our HOA fund, it was the biggest mistake we made. The lowest bidding roofer did not answer calls, did not have email and was not on time to start the project. Many excuses later the lowest bidding roofer came in to start the job, we fired them on the spot as soon as I saw one of his guys using my yard as a restroom.
We later found out that the lowest bidder did not have a license, was not insured and planned to pull off a roofing replacement without a permit.

Eco Smart Roofer was unfortunately the highest bidder, we were skeptical at first but then realized that the warranty was twice longer than offered by everyone else, they partnered up with Bay Area Home Inspections and the periodic inspections of our roof is done by BAHI which is highly rated inspection company in Bay Area, 20 years of periodic inspections sound pretty good if you ask me.

They did an amazing job, there were two superintendents on site, I was completely satisfied with the service, we ended up with more dry rot than originally planned for but it all got replaced for free by Eco Smart. These guys are on top of it all and if you want to flight first class through your complicated roofing replacement - fly Eco  Smart!

Thank you guys! We love our new roof!

These guys are awesome!  We had to replace our roof and the deck that was on top of it, which we came to find out is almost impossible in this town.  For months we searched for a roofing contractor who could do both.  One told us up front that he could not.  The next four said they could do it but all we could get out of them was bid for the roof.  We talked to general contractors and their bids were all around 100K or more!  Yikes.  

I was also concerned about having two different contractors doing the work, one for the roof and one for the deck because if there was a leak later it would just be bunch of finger pointing. And possible delays between the two projects.

Then we found EcoSmart here on Yelp.  They said they could do the roof and the deck, no problem.  Erast gave us a single bid for the whole project which was amazingly reasonable after the others we had seen.  They were the only ones who did a 'real' moisture test prior to the bid and again after the roof was installed.  The service has been awesome, Erast is quick to respond, the crew was friendly, courteous and respectful.  The work was all completed as scheduled and we have an awesome wood deck that we can enjoy!

Erast did go way beyond what was expected when he resolved a ceiling plumbing issue in the unit below the roof that was not related to the roof replacement. No other contractor we contacted would have done that!

I learned a lot of things from this experience, the three that stand out:
1. Trust your gut
2. Leave no question unanswered by your contractor
3. Know what to ask

and, no, I am not a robot nor a paid reviewer as some reviewer has suggested that no real person could like these guys!  Call them....you won't be sorry.

We have not used Eco Smart for the actual roofing repair unfortunately, but we have used these guys for an exterior envelope - roof inspection, we have been struggling with a leak just like the rest of the folks on this thread. It was impossible to find a right contractor to look at our roof, we've been calling, leaving messages, scheduling and would get one no-show after another. Some folks came, looked at the roof and never followed up while others would try to sell us on something else, was very disappointing until the day we contacted Eco Smart, they were up-front and told us about 4 week wait for the paid inspection, explained the process and pricing, we scheduled with them. A month later Eco Smart rolls in at exact time we had on schedule, two inspectors evaluated exterior, roof and moisture concentration inside building, they left 45 minutes later, they wear shoe covers inside (cleanliness is a must for me!) and are very professional. We got a report and estimate linked to photos, loved the experience. Will contract with them as soon as we can before rainy season hopefully :)

Your search for a roofer is over.  These guys are it!  Our project involved the replacement of our patio deck which was more of a roof over our garage.  We ran into several complications (needing to resize our drain pipe and then getting the new one to be compatible with our roofing material; creating a warm and inviting feeling of our outdoor space to make it feel less like a roof and more like a patio) and every step of the way the EcoSmart roofing team was there with solutions and willing to work to make our project successful.  It was delightful to work with Mira, Erast and Armand -- these guys won't stop until their customers are happy.  You can bet on that.  My wife and I are overjoyed with the result of the work they did.  They are experts in roofing and customer service.

It is rare that I am motivated to write a review on Yelp.  Our experiences with Armand and Eco Smart roofing was so positive that I decided they deserved comment.   We wanted to install solar and combine the project with re-roofing our house since we knew the roof was near end-of-life. After searching among many highly rated roofers  and receiving quotations, I remained frustrated by the lack of detail orientation and professionalism of many.  I also tried working first with a solar company, and the roofers they worked with, or recommended with similar frustrations.  Often the estimator differed from the onsite managers, and their knowledge seemed marginal.  After reaching out to 5 of the top rated roofers, and 4 solar companies in San Francisco I decide it was worth trying Eco Smart.  They required an initial payment for their estimate which would be applied to the cost of the roofing project, if they did the work.  Being frugal, I had previously passed on Eco Smart.  Now I am pleased I finally accepted their estimate/analysis fee.  

Initially, Armand visited, and arrived exactly when scheduled.  He and his team did a very careful analysis of the roof, and house structure to identify any moisture leaks, and to plan a proposal.  During the visit I asked whether they worked with any solar companies.  Armand immediately told me that if we planned to install solar, it was important that we do so as a coordinated project, and that he would advise some reinforcement of our roof to support the solar stanchions.  He thought it was very likely that unless the roof base was reinforced, and the stanchions were appropriately attached to the sub-structure, movement against the roofing material could likely lead to leaking.  As a former carpenter, I thought this made sense.  Armand recommended Luminalt as the solar contractor that he felt did the best quality work.  He contacted them for us, and we received a quote from them as well.

Ecosmart's project was about 20% more expensive than other quotations but the amount of work done for the price (new sheathing, tile replacements, gutter improvements, etc.) more than compensated for the additional price.  We also decided to replace skylights.  We contracted additionally with Mares and Dow Construction since we needed non-standard Velux skylights.  Armand coordinated the work with Luminalt, Mares and Dow and his team.

The EcoSmart crew arrived on the scheduled day.  Within the first day, they had removed the old roof, replaced small areas of dryrot, and redone a new plywood base.  They also completed the first layer of waterproofing.  Over the remainder of the week, they completed the remainder of the work with tremendous attention to detail.  When it was recognized that additional work was needed on a gutter, they did the work without an upcharge since they had missed the micro crack in their initial inspection.  Similarly, they realized that copper flashing needed fabrication in certain locations, and did this without upcharge.  Everyday, the worksite was cleaned, they were very attentive to safety of the workers, and the house occupants.  

The work was completed earlier than anticipated.  Armand was either on-site for much of the project, and he and the site foreman were always available for questions or to discuss concerns.  This was one of the most professional crews I have ever worked with, having done multiple home remodels.  I would not hesitate to work with Ecosmart again, and provide the highest recommendation.  One pays a premium price for absolutely premium work.  Truly a fantastic job by EcoSmart.

It was simple with Eco Smart, from the time we emailed them (calls by appointment only) to the time when the Inspection service was scheduled, was easy, informative and very helpful. We did spend $585 on the Inspection but the fee was credited back to our invoice once we contracted with them for repairs. We loved the entire experience and we're glad we chose Eco Smart. They also worked on our siding system as they are general contracting group. Word of advice - please check licensed or all people you are inviting to your home, use CSLB website to find contractor by license and Check if the person who showed up at your house is licensed under the license they provided, we had a horror story prior to contacting Eco Smart, it was a guy from the street who created a copy website and pretended he is a roofing contractor, he used someone else's license and actually fell from the roof. Later tried to get money from us. Please check licenses when you invite anyone to your home. As soon as you see that they ask you to write personal checks to someone else's name or someone else's company name - it's a scam! Beware! Chose Eco Smart, legit, little expensive but with quality in mind above all.

I am a Landlord lawyer in San Francisco and recently worked with Armand Abelitis and his team and Eco Smart Roofer on a very tricky, tenant-occupied job that had to be completed on an emergency timetable.  Armand was, without question, the most responsive, considerate, and diligent contractor I have ever encountered in years of dealing with tricky tenant issues here in San Francisco.  Armand was clear about his timetables, communicated throughout the process, keep the Landlord and me informed on a daily basis about the progress he and his team were making.  (And yes, he hit his estimated timetable to the day, critical when you are dealing with displaced tenants.)  The best part?  When it came time for the tenants to move back in, after the job was complete, Armand stayed on the case until everyone was safely back into the property, and the tenants' questions and issues were addressed.  No cut-and-run here.  Just a honest-to-goodness professional from start to finish.

I would recommend Eco Smart and Armand and his team in a heartbeat.  Enthusiastic 5-stars.

These guys are outstanding from the beginning to the end. They come through for their customers and nothing is a problem with them. I called them because I needed a complete roofing replacement, we paid our due diligence and had four quotes for a roofing replacement. What we had is tar and gravel application, it was 40-something years old and we had structural damage and lots of wet walls.

They came in, scanned our roofing surface for moisture concentration, figured out where the damage is and how many square foot of dry rot to replace. Once opened, Erast and Armand gave us a full array of options on replacement of our skylights, we went with new, bigger ones. We learned that we had no insulation, luckily Eco Smart is a green company and turns out they recycle all of the old insulation after testing it for asbestos, they had a bunch in the storage and I didn't pay a dime for new insulation, there was a minor labor charge only.

I got 20 year warranty because I went with a white colored roof for maximum sun reflection, periodic inspections are included in my deal. We're ready for a rainy season!

Thank you Eco Smart, thank you Yelp!

Armand and his team are awesome! They are pricy, yes, but they provide amazing service. We managed all the contractors working on our house renovation instead of getting a general contractor, and they were by far the easiest to work with! They redid both our roof and exterior. and finished a cute little patio deck for us. They were (after some anxious months) able to diagnose the cause of a major leak we had going on and get it fixed. Turned out we needed a plumber to clear our drains! Thank you so much guys! I will update this review soon with photos :)

After 5 years of living in our place, we hired BayAreaHomeInspection to identify our issues because we had some heat loss. Inspection report showed that we needed badly roof service.
We want to thank you and your team for the wonderful job you did constructing our new roof. From the moment we began working with you and the crew, it has been a pleasure. Not only was the construction done in a fine manner, but also the crew was incredibly professional. The clean up at the end of the day and at the end of the project was very considerate. We've had several neighbors stop by and ask who installed the new roof so hopefully you will get some referrals out of it! Again, thank you so much. It looks beautiful, and we are so pleased with the outcome.

This is a very high tech company! Not your average roofing contractor for sure. They drive eco friendly turbo diesel trucks; use laser beams to measure exact square footage of the roof; check moisture concentration on exterior walls using latest and coolest moisture meter gadgets; use thermal imaging to evaluate amount of dry rot you have on your roof; fly drones; work fast and are always on time, and behind their word. Our roofing replacement in Eduardian went smooth and with no surprises.

It all began with an issue of elevated moisture concentration in our drywall around the house. We didn't know what to do and got it inspected for mold.

Eventually, we figured out that our roof is failing and needed to act fast. We purchased the property a couple years ago and the roof looked ok. As we were later educated, our home had a bitumen asphalt shingle roof, which was of poor quality from when our home was initially built. I did some research on Google and Yelp and ultimately contacted several roofing experts.

The team at Eco Smart Roofer were far and far and above the most responsive, knowledgable, and pleasant to speak with. Within a couple more days I was able to narrow down a date for the installation. The Eco Smart Roofer Project Manager was constantly updating me on weather conditions and we had to reschedule the start date - but I'm happy we did because I sure didn't want to leave my roof exposed during heavy rain -- wish I can give an extra star for this!

The job was completed carefully and efficiently and all backed by an extended warranty. Thank you Armand for turning what could have been a disaster into a very manageable situation.

To the team at Eco Smart Roofer: you have my highest recommendation!

We recently purchased a house and with it all the little needed restorations..One of these was completely redoing two lightwells in our roof (demolition plus 3-ply roofing system, flashings). They were the highest bid we got but we were happy to pay a fee for the fast, polite responses and of course a job well done. Especially when dealing with workers that need to be called 3 times or more to even provide you with a quote (and the quote needs to be hand delivered because incapable of sending emails), the interactions with Armand, Mira and team were like a breeze of fresh air. They showed up on time on the day they scheduled the work and were done only a couple of days later, even cleaning after their work and removing old satellite as favour.
Most importantly, we had to call them back for a couple of post-job touch ups (re-painting a skylight that was damaged during the work and sealing the skylight): they were always responsive and willing to send someone by again. Very happy with their work and their professionalism, highly recommend them.

Armand was wonderful to work with!  We hired Eco Smart Roofer to provide a roof inspection on a potential investment property.  His inspection was extremely thorough and opened our eyes to a multitude of problems with the property's roof, which, frankly, saved us from unknowingly inheriting a very serious repair.  Armand was very knowledgeable, open and honest with us, discussing the options that we have to make things right.  If the seller accepts our revised offer, we will definitely have Armand and his team repair the roof for us!  Thanks, Armand!

I can't thank Yelp enough for letting me find Eco Smart. My roof was complicated and it involved moving around BMS (Building Management System) components and storing them at a remote location in a way that nothing will get damaged. My BMS system is Siemens and it was very important for me to get a roofing contractor that knows how to work with other teams and can be technologically advanced.

Eco smart is not only a roofing contractor, they are also a general engineering contractor, my new roof was installed in two days, all systems resumed operation on the third day of the project.  

Very happy and satisfied - no effort wasted!

These guys are absolutely fantastic! I rarely write reviews, but when I do - its for real. We needed a roof replaced on a very high Victorian here in San Francisco, roof is sloped at 45 degrees, two roofers turned down the job or gave me estimates that exceeded my expectations by far. Both neighbors are bad and there was no street parking. Eco Smart guys knocked the project out in 2 days and I'm very happy!

Great company! Loved their red and green outfits. Recommend

Saved us, too!

Just as El Niño kicked off, our 1925 Edwardian in San Francisco sprung a big leak, water running into walls and causing soaking, mildewy damage I could only see in nightmares. Upset isn't the word--maybe multiply it by 10 and you come close to how I felt--because when it rains like that, every roofer in the city's committed weeks or months ahead, and then what do you do? When I called Eco Smart, Armand returned my call within about a minute (seriously), and not because they had nothing else to do: they were heavily booked, too. Yet they managed to work us into their schedule within a week or so, which was miraculous enough! When they followed through on each and every detail, showed up when they said they would, did everything they promised and more, and acted with supreme courtesy and integrity--well, they made my husband and me into lifelong fans who wouldn't dream of working with anyone else. Eco Smart delivered a superb job for us with kindness and care so rarely seen in any industry. Without hesitation I'd recommend Eco Smart in SF to anyone who appreciates superb customer service, cutting-edge technical expertise, extremely hard-working crews, and the kind of businesspeople who really and truly get what it's like to be a panicky homeowner with a roof problem. Armand and his Eco Smart team understand this in their collective marrow, and we'll always be grateful for their swift response and first-class workmanship. We look forward to seeing them for periodic roof checks over the months and years to come. They're just the best!

WARNING!  This company is paying for fake Yelp reviews.  They are mostly all 5 stars, mention Armand and talk about the tremendous service.

I called them and someone came out.  They said they would diagnose the problems, take pictures, send a report of the necessary fixes  and a quote.

All I received was a 3 sentence e-mail with a price.  Nothing else.  They have subsequently not responded to my e-mails.  A complete waste of time.

Note the reviewer Mr. G below who indicates they have no valid CA State Contractors license and no business license.  That is the first reason to run away and find another company.

I'm glad we went with this roofing contractor, they were punctual, it was very easy to communicate with Armand, the process seemed very complicated when it was described in the proposal, in reality bunch of very professional guys got it done in one day with help of bunch of trucks, professional equipment (no air hoses from your ordinary contractor, wireless all the way).

I would say that this is a new wave of customer service that is very acceptable for Bay Area, it's been long awaited for to have contractors work as efficiently and fast as Eco Smart company.

Seriously, I have no time to waste and these guys seem to be the same.

Great company, very prompt and professional in every way. We have a commercial building with a huge roof, we've been looking for the right roofing contractor to come our way and repair it. Many showed up, many said that it needs to be replaced but kept on giving us estimates for repairs. We have wasted a great amount of money over a few years as the leaks never stopped. We called Eco Smart and from the first moment they were up front with us about the condition of our roof. They said that repairs will not be effective and that we need a new roof. Further inspection proved that we had over four layers of roofing membranes installed on top of our roofing deck. Replacement was the only option and Eco Smart did a great job explaining it to us. They do a drone inspection for anyone who is interested - they definitely have San Francisco and Bay Area covered!

San Francisco had a huge windstorm on December 30. We could hear our roof being torn apart in the storm. The next morning there were roofing shingles all around the house. The following Monday I started calling roofers to get an estimate of repairs for the damage. I called five roofers, three of them actually kept their appointments. Only two of them gave me repair proposals.

EcoSmart gave me the lowest bid for the most work. I chose them because of their excellent reputation and the professionalism that was demonstrated by Armand. He went through the entire house using an instrument on every wall to detect if there was any water present inside of the walls. He then sent up his own drone to take pictures of the damage. I can hardly express how impressed I was with Armand's knowledge, the use of a drone to take pictures and how thoroughly he explained the entire process. I knew, before Armand even left, that I would have EcoSmart repair my roof.
Nick was the on site supervisor.  I have never had anyone work for me who had such a positive attitude as Nick.  Every time I saw Nick he always had a big smile and positive things to say about the job. He was so polite and inviting to talk with. Again, this is professionalism at its best. Nick was always very knowledgeable about the job.
How was their work? Impeccable! EcoSmart impressed the whole neighborhood with the quality of their work.  Armand was on site every day for a while to keep me informed. I will go directly to EcoSmart for all my building and repair needs in the future. I bet you'll never find a better building contractor than EcoSmart in San Francisco.

I contracted with Eco Smart after getting estimates from several other roofers. Eco Smart was comparable in price, but their estimate was far more thorough, so we hired them. This turned out to be a great choice! Eco Smart was very diligent and communicative during the entire process. They showed up on time and when promised, were respectful, and cleaned everything up when the job was complete. Most importantly, Eco Smart did everything they promised in the estimate and did a great job! I was stressed about needing a new roof, but hiring Eco Smart relieved my stress and made this a great experience from beginning to end!

Eco Smart just finished extensive work on the front of our house, replacing many boards that had dry rot and painting those boards they replaced. We were impressed with their attention to detail. The house looks great, and we will be protected against moisture for many years.

We hired Eco Smart Roofer to replace our light well roof and were very pleased with the service we received. Armand always responded immediately to my emails in a market where a lot of companies won't even call you back. When he reviewed the job, he saw many other issues that other roofers ignored. They were able to start the work quickly and finished much sooner than their original timeline. Overall, we were pleased with the work.

I really cannot recommend Eco Smart highly enough.

Armand and his team just recently finished re-doing our roof.  It's never a happy thing to have to do but it's what happens when you find a large pool of water on the dining room floor.  All the heavy rains just overwhelmed our Victorian 20+ year old roof and it just gave up.  

The team was just fantastic to work with from the get-go.  They sent out a drone to take pictures.  We have a complicated multi-level roof and ultimately they just sent folks out to look first hand.  Armand had the quote to us within 24 hours and a crew onsite 48 hours after that (I think they took pity on us because we had a 10-week old baby).  Crews worked from 7:30 in the morning until 6pm at night.  They were friendly, efficient, and got the entire job done in 3 days.  

It's rare that you can work with someone on a job this big and still be pleased with outcome and feel like the price was very fair for the level of work.  I couldn't imagine a better roofing company.

Eco Smart is super reliable and high tech. You know that feeling you get when someone massages your head? That feeling when you look at the fire? That feeling when you look at the waves heating the ocean? Well working with Eco Smart is nothing like that - it's clear, efficient and down to every last detail, they even washed three cars parked in front of our building when they replaced the roof (it was a car wash coupon, they did not actually wash it themselves). But seriously, these guys are fantastic and we're really pleased with the results. Little bummed that they chose the color for us - apparently they only install white or commercial white roofs, but hey - they are the experts.

We had Armand come out and give us a roof inspection. He was very personable, helpful and professional on the phone and in person. We trusted him and the company right away. He gave us thorough run-down of the condition of our various roofs, and gutters, and also a recommendation to hold off for a few years until a full repair becomes necessary. I am so glad I called them, and will be calling them again in the future. They are not going to recommend un-neccesary repairs.

Getting bids for roof work is a daunting task.  I spent months finding various contractors to get estimates with a wide range in pricing.  Some don't even show up.  Others make lofty promises without putting anything in writing.  There are those who want the majority of the money upfront before work even starts and some that are good but won't be able to start for a couple months.  With El Nino on the way, I don't want to take any chances.

I ended up choosing EcoSmart Roofer.  They are not the cheapest in town, but they do quality work.  We went with a rolled roofing material - no nasty tar pots sitting around polluting the air. Their team members are pleasant and accommodating.  They work quickly and efficiently to get the job done.  There were some hang-ups along the way, but they promptly resolve the issues that were brought to their attention.  If I need to reach them, I just need to call, text, or email and would get a response in a timely manner.  I am in awe of the crane conveyor belt they used to transport the materials onto the roof which made it so much safer for everyone.  What I love is the fact that they clean up at the end of each day and you wouldn't even know they'd been there.  Due to the weather, the project took longer than expected, but we are very satisfied with the work.

A quick shout-out to Armand, Erast, Vova & the roofing team.  You guys are great.  Keep up the good work.

I have had a roof leak for over 2 years.  It was only 11+ years old, installed by a big nation wide company.  Well, that nation wide company has send two separate sub-contractors out, probably around 10 times to fix the issue.  Finally, I've had enough and decided to get a third party to do the job right.  Am I glad I called Eco Smart.  Erast showed up 1/2 hour early and waited outside on the curb.  What contractor shows up 1/2 hour early and wait?  

Then he brought out the coolest gadgets, a thermal imagine device that shows temperature difference behind walls/roof, hence showing trapped moisture, potential dry rot.  Within 5 minutes on the roof, Erast identified the root of the problem.  It was the roof flashing.  Then he proceeded to outline in detail, what needed to be done.  When I had a blank look on my face (ah, polyurethane, priming, heat blower?), he was so sweet.  Said he would put everything in writing.

Got even better when I asked for a detailed quote of  everything that needed to be done.  Erast insisted I call the original company and have them do the repairs, not only on the roof flashing, but all the sequela of delayed diagnosis/repair.  Someone trying to save me $.  I'm so appreciative.  

These guys are prompt, efficient, have the latest technology, and honest.  Good to know people with integrity are still out there in the businesses world. WOW experience.

These guys are the greatest! They deserve each and every one of their 5 stars and maybe even a few more. They go to extremes to make sure you are happy with their job and care a lot about their ratings! They did the flat roof on my Dad's 12 unit apartment building. We had a leak in one of the apartments and our regular roofers told us it would take 2.5 weeks to just come give us an evaluation of the problem and then any work would be weeks out after that. I called Armand and he was able to send someone out for a quote and start the job within a week. We were not on-site as we live out of town and they took care of everything for us.

They gave us a contact number and the name of the on-site supervisor to pass on to the tenants in case they had any questions or concerns. They were very careful that the tenants were protected from falling debris and/or any trip hazards while entering and leaving the building, as well as that pedestrians could cross the work areas below safely.

I was not at all familiar with roof terminology or products and Armand took great efforts to explain things to me. Their work was very professional, using a special piece of equipment to get the roofing materials to the fourth floor roof. They worked at a good pace and were very responsive to my calls and e-mails requesting updates. You can trust these guys to do an excellent job. They also seem to have a good warranty. Bravo you guys! Thanks for the great work!

This is an example of one of those companies that came through with their promises. Many roofers we contacted simply did not show up or gave us the we're busy for three months line. Eco Smart came out, evaluated our roof and quickly got back to us with the proposal, we chose them because they were the ones who responded to our emails quickly and were easy to talk to. Great company that delivers great results, have I said that they are Eco Friendly?

Eco Smart Roofer was recommended by a fellow contractor that does seismic upgrades for roofs and structural framing of one of our buildings. What caught our attention was the fact that Eco Smart also does solar installations and since we wanted solar, we wanted one contractor to work on all aspects of our project. This was a hit from the very beginning, they were incredible and honest. Our project was completed in two parts and took longer than expected due to delay with solar panel delivery but we love the end result! White roofs are great!

It's pretty much as others have said....Yes, their price is on the high side, but the peace of mind that comes with having a quality roof installation last for the next several decades was worth it. We also had solar installation coordinated with Eco Smart and Luminalt. Besides the weather interrupting some of the work (which no one had control over), everything worked flawlessly. Erast and his team were really on top of communication prior to each work day. They sent photos of the roof as updates of what they were working on. They left the property spotless at the end of the workdays (and also made sure they communicated with our neighbors to clean up their yards as well); they always wore shoe covers when entering the house; they were very respectful of the property the entire time. The work took the amount of time they estimated without much delays, and that was including being very cautious about high humidity in the weather. They were very responsive to our questions and requests by text or email. They then communicated with Luminalt to make sure timing of solar panels could be coordinated well. When they found there were issues with drains and skylights on the roof, they immediately let us know about what needed to be done to fix those and the price involved (and there was little to no delay on those issues). The overall cost at the end was in line with what we expected and was quoted and so far we are very happy with their work!

Eco Smart Roofer did a great job!   They really listened to what I needed done, and even sorted out two problems I didn't even know I had: dry rot in my roof supports (thanks to the drone's thermal imaging); and with very poor sealant around some windows. They were a little more than my other quotes, but it was money well spent.   I loved that they use white shingles (they're really more gray) because they reduce the warming effect.  

They were also VERY flexible, as I ended up having to have my solar panel people come in right in the middle of the installation of the new roof, and these guys were extremely professional and helpful in working around this unplanned interruption.

Any small issues I had (some dirt inside as one roof didn't even have any lining, and some water runoff the front of the roof) were resolved completely, and even more impressive was the pro-active follow up.  They have contacted me multiple times to make sure everything was going well!  

I saw one earlier post claiming all these five star reviews are paid for.  I'm a real happy customer, and will talk to anyone that would like confirmation.

You owe it to yourself and your constituents to at least gives these guys a call.  They might actually help to save you money.  Here's how they did for me:

We had a leak in the roof.  I immediately searched Yelp to look for credible roofing contractors, and this Eco Smart appeared to be consistently trustworthy, so I reached out to them for an estimate.  A free consultation was quickly scheduled for within a couple of days of the call; I always appreciate promptness.

Upon coming out(on time, might I add), the kind and friendly contractor(very down to earth gentleman, even asked if we'd like him to take off his shoes!) brought with him an HD tablet camera and started snapping away at the area of our roof.  Within minutes he narrowed down the culprit and noted a few other potential issues.

If I gave no other details from there, they would already have warranted anyone's business.  What happened next is what truly puts them over the top, in my humble opinion.  He pointed out that he since our building is fairly new, by state law all parts and labor on the roof is mandated to be addressed by the original builder for 10 years.  He could have easily just given me an estimate for a few hundred dollars to patch the hole and other areas with micro fractures and be done with it, but did the more honest thing.

Ok, then, I thought to myself, but I don't want to bother getting the builder to do it for me--it was during the rainy season, and I just wanted to get it done asap, not go through them, as I have had difficulties getting their prompt attention in the past.  I bring this up to Eco Smart Roofer:  I'd rather just pay and have you do the work because I feel like I trust you more.  He insisted on getting the builder because  some roof warranties may be VOIDED if any third party work is done on it at all other than from the original builder!!!  He said that they would be glad to do the work if the builder can guarantee in writing that others would be allowed to work on it without voiding the warranty.  That made perfect sense to me, so I went ahead and did that.

After a lot of badgering and following up(it was as ridiculous as I imagined), the builder did eventually get the job done, and I ended up paying $0.  That is a testament of how honorable Eco Smart Roofer is.  I learned some important lessons just from chatting with them for a few minutes.  

So should you find yourself in a situation where you need to contact a reluctant builder to take responsibility for your roofing problems, remember the parable of the persistent widow:
In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.  And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'
For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually come and attack me!'

That turned out to be the right strategy for me.

Thank you so much Eco Smart!

These guys are great!

Roofers in San Francisco are not very reliable - saying this from reading tens of reviews on Yelp and also from a personal experience dealing with them during the bidding process. They all say different things and try to upsell you on something.

Well not Eco Smart Roofer. Very good communication and very technologically advanced contractor. They came in and within minutes got onto my roof with aluminum, telescopic ladders. They had machines to scan the roofing surface for leaks and excessive moisture content.

They identified areas where we had dry rot without even lifting the roofing. In their proposal that we got the next day through email, it was clearly identified what will be replaced, what is the replacement material is and how long the process will take.

They followed that agreement to the last word. Eco Smart Roofer came through for my family. They monitored weather and were sharp on starting and finish date.

My place stayed clean throughout the process, there was no drama, there were no unnecessary conversations, there were no blames. Work was scheduled and completed as planned with no surprises.

I decided not to use lighter colored roofing so I only got a 10 year warranty, but still it's more than the standard 5 year warranty I was offered before.

Good company and worth every penny!

Eco Smart had completed an outstanding job on our roof and had to overcome some serious challenges to make it happen.  Thanks to Armand, Erast and the team and for a complicated  and risky job well done.

Erast worked with us for weeks on personalizing the green roof to fit our very specific needs.  Erast had to help coordinate with the electricians, plumbers and solar panel installer because we have discovered a gas line and bunch of abandoned wires underneath our existing roof.

The team protected the roof, didn't damage any of existing infrastructure, allowed time in their schedule to clear the wires and gas line to code with the other workers from the plumber and electrician.  Eco Smart Roofer has repaired some major water and rot damages to the base of the roof and some structural framing.
Everything has been completed in 4 days.


Thanks to Erast, Armand and the team for our great roof - best company.

These guys are great. They replaced the roof on our small house in Bernal Heights in a single day for a very reasonable price. They were easy to communicate with and they showed up when they said they'd show up. Highly recommended!

Armand and the team at Eco Smart Roofer set a fantastic example for other contractors to live up to. From the initial detailed estimate to finished product, Eco Smart was very easy to work with and instilled confidence in their workmanship. All dates and schedules were clearly communicated by email, text or phone. Work was done quickly and efficiently. Crew was respectful of our neighbors and cleaned up the job site well after each day. All work was well documented with pictures from beginning to end. When minor issues or questions came up during the work, they were able to quickly (and correctly) resolve them and keep our project on track. We're not planning on needing a new roof any time soon, but if any friends ask for recommendations, Eco Smart Roofer will be easy to wholeheartedly recommend!

The positive reviews are no joke.

We needed a reliable and professional team to come in and get the job done and Eco Smart lived up to its reputation.

The bid for the job was not the cheapest - but as the say - you get what you pay for.

In this case, what you pay for is professionalism and attention to detail as well as an iron-clad guarantee and follow up service.

The team came in and did the job in less time than expected. They made a minimum of mess and with very little disruption to our lives and after they left there was no trace of them other than a new roof.

Highly recommend this team.

We hired Eco Smart because of a recommendation of a friend. The guys were super thorough, fast, and very flexible with timing. (We were trying to schedule a roof replacement between rain storms.)  Would recommend using them in a heartbeat. They're not the cheapest roofers out there, but their quality of work and customer service is outstanding. We love Erast. :)

Thanks to Erast, I paid $800 for a repair vs. $10k for the new roof another roofer told me I needed. Erast followed up four months later with a free moisture check to make sure the fix held. He'll give me annual free moisture checks until I really need a new roof. Lovely guy, great service.

Update: Still a loyal customer four years later. This time I got a thorough inspection of the whole house, and I feel confident in the assessment they gave me to keep my house free of moisture. I also feel confident that I'm not getting ripped off. I like doing business with Erast and team.

These guys went above and beyond to make sure my new roof was awesome. Not only did they stick to their original estimate even when they found a bunch more work needed to be done (due to my old roof being built on top of an even older existing roof), but also paid attention to every detail (refocusing my antenna for even better reception, replacing a rotted out section of hand rail). Truly exceptional service.

These guys are amazing! It was a little hard to get in touch at first, but all the roofing companies were super busy after the rain this winter. We had multiple leaks causing mold and drywall damage due to some shoddy contractor and roofing work less than 4 years ago. Once we dealt with those issues we started looking for a roofing company. Eco Smart used their drone technology and an on site inspection to evaluate our complex situation (2 different levels of flat roof plus a roof deck that had been installed only 4 years previously.) Armand was very professional and knowledgeable on the phone and in person. Their bid was comparable to another recommended company, but their customer service up front made it no contest. Once the work started I was impressed by their speed, cleanliness and competence. They had to deal with a narrow light well situation for access to the 3rd and 4th floor roofs. They protected the side of our building while hauling all their material up to the roof areas. Because our deck area was leaking badly, the entire area needed to be de-constructed and rebuilt after waterproofing. Christian is a skilled carpenter, finisher, painter, etc. He was able to reconstruct the entire deck without problem and in it's original (now waterproof) condition. Not to mention that we didn't have to buy any new siding or other components as he was able to repurpose all the wood and railings and reinstall them in their original configuration. I even tried to see if Christian would do some other work for us but he's super loyal to Eco and has worked for them for 10 years. He's a treasure! We now have a state of the art, 4 ply roof system that should last a very, very long time! Thanks Eco Smart!! You will get all my recommendations in the future.

The roof on our building developed a leak and we received bids from about 5 contractors.  We needed to replace the deck on our roof as well, because it was going to come off when the roof was redone.  Eco Smart won out because Erast paid very good attention to us and wanted to make sure we were happy with the results.  And when it was all said and done we have a new great looking deck and roof.  And when an unrelated problem persisted they fixed it for free!

We had a great experience with Eco Smart Roofer. Our roof was in terrible shape and we have solar panels, so wanted a company that could handle that. Communication with Erast was prompt and continuous. He explained everything that they would be doing, including a plan for our solar panels. The turnaround was quick and they did a nice job with clean up as well. They even washed our solar panels!

I recommend not skimping on cost when it comes to getting a new roof. This was a quality job.

After a rainy season we had an issue on our hands in a form of super mysterious leak that developed during a rainy season. Had bunch of contractors over for evaluation and none were able to successfully identify the true origin of the issue. We spent money over and over again and leak would come back every time. We knew that we needed a true detective, someone with the combined knowledge of exterior finishes and roofing systems. We also wanted to make sure the inspector or contractor is actually licensed in both trades as we had some super flaky, borrow my friends license guys. We came across Eco Smart and spoke with general managers, we loved the fact that they are licensed as a general contractor and a roofer and that they were not pushy and knew their trades. All questions were answered, we never waited for more than few hours for a response (text email or phone), we did pay for their initial inspection and found it well worth the money. The issue with a leak was a failed flashing over our window casing but we also followed Eco Smart's recommendation and got a solar coating to extend our roofing systems life. Great people working for an honest firm that is super customer oriented. These are smart guys, not the cheapest but definitely the best.

The guys were quick to come and look for the leak (other company told me first available appointment was 3 weeks out).  They diagnosed it very quickly and patched the leak.  Will call them again if we ever have another issue with our roof.

We used Eco Smart to replace our Glen Park roof that was desperately in need of repair. Eco Smart was recommended to me via a friend who used them too.

These guys are professional, transparent, honest, super-easy to work with, and do very high quality work. It won't be the cheapest roofing ever, but it's pain-free and worry-free the entire way.

Strongly recommend working with Erast.

I am having my roof redone. Though I did not go with Eco Smart, there is no negative reason for declining their service. It was really just a coin toss. I was very impressed with the professionalism and with their reputation. This was only a matter of choosing between two excellent roofers. I definitely appreciate their time and trouble in coming out to consult and make a proposal.

Couldn't be happier.  Called to ask about a new roof installation and provided my address.  Within seconds, Ecosmart had pulled up my apartment building on Google Earth and was assessing issues with the existing roof and making suggestions on repair and/or replacement.  A recent storm had weakened the old roof and the top floor apartment had water leaking through the kitchen ceiling.  Another storm was due in just a few days, but Ecosmart was able to fit me into their schedule and get the job completed before the next rain.  The workers showed up on time and did their best not to disturb the tenants.  The work was completed quickly and efficiently and all for a reasonable price.  Great job, guys!

We originally contracted Armand to replace the roof and drain on our light well, which was leaking into our basement.  His team did such a good job that we decided to have Eco Smart replace the entire roof on our house.  Armand's team showed up on time and were prepared for the job.  They were polite, clean and efficient.  Vlad was the onsite supervisor, and he kept everyone focused on the project which they completed in just two days.  The roof looks wonderful; the joints are sealed and the flashing is all tight; the structure under the roof was rotted, and they replaced all of the damaged places with new struts and plywood so it feels strong and no longer bounces when walked upon.  The team cleaned up after the job and removed all the debris. Armand is very professional and easy to work with.  When we had questions, he provided complete  information for us and talked us through the whole job before starting.   We would highly recommend Armand and his team for any roofing project.

My roof was the selling point of the house - great view, relatively newly done, appliances and amenities, etc.  But I came to hate it because it leaked badly.   I had several professionals come out for assessments and each voiced their opinion, but nobody would take on the project.  Eco Smart was the first company to give a reasonable estimate and have the guts to tell it to me straight.   It promised to be a complex, long project and I went with Eco Smart because their proposal was detailed and I felt comfortable they knew what they were doing. The projected ended up being even more complex than we expected, but Eco Smart did a great job rooting out all the problems and potential problems and keeping me up to date on progress.  They did great work, are honest, and I strongly recommend them.

Armand and his crew were extremely efficient in replacing both the flat portion of my roof and the three story tall downspout drains which serve the front of our San Francisco building.  Armand was quick to respond to my email request for an estimate.  Eco-Smart uses drones to assess the job and make their initial estimates wherever possible.  An estimate was promptly made and once the paperwork was completed, his crew was able to complete the entire job in four consecutive days.
Throughout the entire job there was a personable and knowledgeable foreman on site to manage the crew and oversee all aspects of both the roofing and drainpipe work.  The entire work crew was very responsive to any last minute requests and very considerate of the neighbors and other tenants in our condo building.
I was provided with a photo history of the roof job after everything was completed.  As access to my roof is not available to me, I would have preferred to receive these photos as the job was on-going, but apparently the company had just switched to a new system and the software was not yet cooperating to give daily updates.  Nevertheless, after the job these photos did become available and gave a detailed chronicle of the daily progress of the roof replacement project.   Finally, Eco-Smart's service guarantee for its roofing work is very strong.  In addition, they have promised to monitor the health of our drains and gutters every two years.  
In short, for competent quality work, coupled with responsive customer service (with a smile), I would highly recommend Armand and his Eco-Smart crew for your roofing and exterior building needs.

These guys are quick, reliable and great in general. Very easy and fast communication is something that always strikes my attention, good warranty, cool people, all workers are color coded (pretty interesting stuff by the way but I will not spoil it for you).

Guys take time at the job site and don't rush, they truly are doing it Smart, very efficient and they keep their word.

I was pretty surprised by the fact that my interior was mapped out as far as moisture concentration in all exterior walls and was monitored weeks after the project was completed to make sure the walls are drying up.

Something you don't expect from your every day roofer.

Bravo.

Great team and great company. We hired Eco Smart to evaluate a leaky ceiling as no other contractor has been able to figure this mystery for us before. We would get a wet ceiling every time it would rain and in some cases on a dry weather, it was a very interesting phenomenon. Many who came and looked were shaking their head with smile, roof seemed to be ok but we never really figured it out until we co reacted Eco Smart. No, they do not come out for free, but you always get what you pay for and we've been getting free smiles for few years, it was time to get to the bottom of it. Eco Smart placed us on a waiting list, we waited for a month, on the day of the appointment they showed up on time (two of them), after simple thermal test and a mapping session they went into the attic and discovered a secret door leading to self priming 2 copper P-trap that someone forgot to seal, best thing is that they didn't even take my money, inspection only took 15 minutes. Will be calling our plumber, rainy season - we're ready!

Eco Smart Roofer came to my rescue last week when all of a sudden my floating deck made the entire roofing structure leak. I've called few other roofing contractors but most quotes included a new deck with new plans taking way over 10 days.
Eco Smart Roofer came in on the same day, quickly assessed the situation, measured the moisture on all of the interior walls and figured out a clear path of attack. The whole project only took a day and deck was lifted with hydraulic jacks, repairing the roof for another 10+ years.
Despite the rushed nature of the project they did a really nice job and were extremely pleasant to work with. The crew was very polite and smart and few of my my neighbors are now rushing to get their roofs completed with them before the rainy season.

This is a case of a fast and efficient contractor that doesn't waste time and is completely transparent in communication with clients. I personally expect clarity and respect efficiency, Eco Smart went above and beyond my expectations. Turning a messy project into a simple and well calculated matter. Nothing less and nothing more - they do as they promise and deliver on time. Deserves respect in my book... Recommend to anyone who seeks roofing services.

Armand and his team were on point from beginning to end.  From initial inspection to finish, they were professional and thorough.  We felt informed of the progress at all times and they finished 1.5 days early.  We had a major roofing project.  Basically, a complete removal of existing roofing covering up to the wooden deck and complete replacement of all dry rot damage.  A 3-ply roofing system, reinforced by Simpson hangers for stability, new double layer of underlayment, new double bitumen torch down GTA roofing application by GAF (RUBEROID® TORCH GRANULE membrane) on all flat areas of the roofing, all new flues, sills, flashings and step-flashings.  With the unrelenting storms, we had to keep pushing out until a tiny window opened up in January and Armand and his team pulled it off.  We are very happy with the work and plan on using Armand and his team for the exterior work as well.  If you want a highly communicative, responsive team that doesn't skimp on materials, man power and service, this is the company to use.

Eco-Smart to the rescue!  I'd been dealing with two horrible leaks in my home for the past 18 months... the result of shoddy roofing workmanship on a roof I'd put on a section of my house 5 years ago.  That mistake proved the addage that I'm not rich enough for cheap solutions and finally I had to fix this problem for good.  (Plus my insurance company threatened to not renew my homeowners insurance unless I took care of the problem correctly.)

After doing a ton of research it was obvious that Armand's company was the highest rated roofer in the Bay Area, but when I called him he told me the wait would be months because of their backlog.  When I pleaded my case regarding the insurance snafu he made the time to do it, brought in his crew and they dealt with it with a level of professionalism I've never experienced with a roofer before.  Watching his crew working on my roof was fascinating because their attention to detail and craftsmanship was so outstanding.  What they created was essentially a wetsuit for my roof that is so beautifully engineered that I'm sure I'll never have to worry about that part of my house again.  It was so impressive to see Armand and the crew bring up issues based on unforseen conditions and add additional waterproofing details to take care of them.  And all within the terms of our original agreement, an incredibly impressive level of customer service.  

(I also had a great time just talking with Armand because he loves to fly drones and his enthusiasm for aerial photography is a gas.)

I would recommend Eco-Smart Roofers to anyone who has a roof and wants to make sure that it is sealed as well as it possibly can be.  Our entire experience with this company has been incredibly positive and I wish that all contractor relationships would feel like this.  Thank you to Armand, Vovo, Salvatore and your entire crew.  We are extremely grateful!

Fast, professional, knowledgable, thorough.  They were able to come in faster than anyone else we called and replace a crumbling roof on our house with a new system.  They made us feel like a priority and took care of our needs.  Everyone was extremely helpful along the way.  Highly recommend them.

Eco Smart did a great job. They doubled their crew and were able to put a new roof on in two days. The two days between rain storms no less! They provided a drone inspection for us and answered all of our questions with patience and professionalism. Thanks!

A+ service.  They communicated early/often and bid pricing that was very reasonable vs. their competitors.  Very professional organization that made the process very stress free for me.  Final product looks great as well.

Erast, Vlad and the whole team did an excellent job. They came through with a bid when I couldn't even get a phone call returned due to Super El Niño. The use of a drone made it hassle-free and quick. The whole roof replacement took just a couple of days and the roof looks fantastic. They even handled all the additional concerns around a historic house with efficiency and competence. They are simply the best.

Eco Smart Roofer replaced the shingle roof on our house in San Francisco with a Decra steel shingle roof that has a 30 year warranty. The work they did was great and has withstood the test of time. They were always very prompt in returning my calls and in responding to my needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Eco Smart Roofer to other home owners looking for a reliable roofing company to deal with.

After reading everyone else's review, I almost feel like I am talking about a completely different roofing company. But then I read more carefully and realize that others are talking about having a totally new roof done. If that is what I thought needed to be done, Eco Smart Roofer may have been a company for me to work with.  Having had a new roof done ten years ago and El Nino approaching, I wanted a roofer to look and see the condition of the roof. Instead, Armand came, sent a drone up to take images (which he refused to share), and then said that he recommended a completely new roof of the materials that he used rather than the tar and gravel there now. With a cost of $40,000, this did not make sense. Since the roof had been completely replaced ten years ago and without any clear reason for replacing it again other than the type of materials, we have decided to wait for other roofers to clearly explain why our roof would need to be replaced because of its condition, especially since imaging done a year ago to detect possible leaks showed no roof damage. I may have misunderstood thinking that Eco Smart would help with a tar and gravel roof rather than jump quickly to replacement with their own materials, but I am certain that I explained initially that we had recently had it torn off and replaced and were just looking for any possible problems like drain clogs or specific trouble spots. Perhaps a drone can tell all, but then let the customer know where and why there is a problem rather than saying it just needs to be replaced just because. . . . Did I use the words totally replace or reference to that too many times? If you need a new roof, maybe this is the company for you. But if you need someone to take a serious look at the condition of your roof, I recommend looking somewhere else.

Eco Smart Roofers were amazing. Armand was helpful at all levels of our project. We needed to have an old roof replaced on our victorian home in the Mission. We live out of town and Armand and his crew made the whole process very easy, from the detailed estimate (with photos) to the actual work. We were able to do get a lot of the prep work done via emails and the phone and the actual work was done quickly and very efficiently. We thought we might have to get into a line to wait for our roof to be replaced but our project was taken care or earlier than we expected. This is a quality, no nonsense company that does excellent work!!!! Even on smaller jobs like ours.

Having your roof replaced is not something any of us likely rush into.  It's something most of us know very little about other that it works or it leaks and it can be costly.  So when it was time to replace the roof on our Victorian home in SF I did the web / yelp search and one company jumped out as the one to talk to ... Eco Smart Roofer ... after interviewing several companies I confidently decided on Eco Smart Roofer.  The price was pretty much in line with what i expected to pay ... what I got for the price was more than I expected.  Great job, Hard workers, Daily clean up.  This is a company that understands the value of word of mouth ... If anyone asks for suggests on who to call I will always mention Eco Smart.

Service, Service, Service and Warranty - what is very important to me.

I'm one of those people that doesn't like to waste valuable time. I prefer working with people and companies that know exactly what they are doing and are doing it with pride. I respect people that are very reliable, punctual and keep their word.
Eco Smart Roofer is one of the best roofing companies in San Francisco in my opinion. We had our annual inspection done and knew that we need a new roof as we didn't want to go into the rainy season knowing that this may mean another construction project later down the road due to roofing flashing failure.
Tar and gravel roofs are not repairable and it was very clear for us that the contractor knew exactly what they are talking about. Meeting  Armand from Eco Smart Roofer made this roofing project go right from the start.
We have received a massive 20 year warranty on our new roof - I guess it's possible, the only thing is that we had to go with a light colored roofing surface, but we didn't care as it's a flat roof anyway.
Very punctual, they don't leave any balls in the air, right on the money as we got three quotes from different contractors. No one provides a 20 year warranty - just Eco Smart Roofer.
Recommend this roofer!

Eco Smart Roofer was great! We had 3 companies come out and they were very honest about what we needed and what we didn't need. They came out did a great job with 2 coats of elastomeric coating, started and finished when they said they would, and even came back to help on a few spots I had questions on and did a fantastic job completing everything. Great price and great contractor!

Armand and his team were exemplary to work with.  Armand explained all of the work before they started and their teams lived up to everything they promised to do.  The quality of their work is among the best I have seen from any company and their attention to detail was just amazing.  They started work when they promised, finished ahead of schedule and were extremely considerate and clean.  I would highly recommend Eco Smart for any project.

It was our first big storm in our new home, a renovated victorian, which sprung a bunch of leaks, really scary given we have two young children at home. Eco-smart  was extremely responsive, and was able to provide an estimate over the weekend. They scheduled time to fix the roof in the first dry window, stuck to their budget and completed the work a day early! Along the way, all our questions and issues were addressed right away. There was no disruption inside our home, except for the expected banging on the roof. Oevrall, really satisfied with their service and work. Would use them again and definitely recommend them,

They were on time and dispensed with great advice and alternatives to address a complex roof leak problem, even when this repair is not a job they're suggesting they undertake.  Highly recommend them.

Like others, I had a very good experience with EcoSmart. Prompt, professional, courteous, neat, and free of horrible tar fumes. I would recommend them, though I hope not to see them again for at least 15 years.

I had Eco Smart Roofers repair my roof after it leaked this spring. Other roofers I called said it would be a few weeks before they could come to give an estimate, or that I would have to pay for the estimate. Eco Smart came the day after I called, and they gave me a free estimate along with pictures of the damaged areas on the roof. They were very responsive to phone calls and emails, they patiently answered all my questions, and they came just a few days later to perform the work. They were professional and quick, and they showed me pictures of the repair work they had done. They also gave me a three year warranty that comes with periodic inspections, so I don't have to worry about my roof until it is time to replace it (the roof is already 15 years old). I would strongly recommend Eco Smart Roofers to anyone who wants to be sure their roof repair/replacement is done right. Peace of mind is a valuable thing.

Great company!  Very professional!  Highly recommend!  Excellent communication throughout entire roof replacement.  These men know what they're doing.  They also do building construction, and we plan to use them for an additional project.

These guys just did my roof, great communication, fast. I got a 20 year warranty on my roof. Very rad.

I am a long time home owner of a Victorian in the lower haight. past experiences have made me shy of contractors and I really dreaded the idea of hiring a roofer. well I really lucked out. this was the best home repair work in my experience. it was a massive job. the roof had 3 layers of shingles and the original wood shakes. only the very best materials were used and the workmanship looks great. all paperwork was clear and the management and supervisors were experts...as were the workers. I plan to hire eco-smart in the future for decking and painting...A+++++

Mira and team are unlike any roofers we've worked with in the past:  honest, transparent, & exceptional communicators.  We had them come by to look at our 16 year old roof and drippy central patio skylight in the Sunset district of SF, anticipating that it might be time for a total do-over.  They put us on their schedule for the following week, arrived exactly when they said they would, and after their evaluation explained their findings with iphone photos of all the minor problem areas they'd identified.  Mira told us that not only were our roof & skylight good for another 4-5 years, but that a handyman could do the necessary minor repairs more inexpensively than they - as professional roofers - could.  She even said they'd be willing to share all their photos with said handyman!  At this point the entire consultation had been free. After such a good initial impression we elected to just move forward with Eco Smart for the repairs:  sealing skylight flashings and exposed nails and replacing a few missing shingles.  All of this was completed a couple of weeks later.  We will definitely be calling Eco Smart for our next roof evaluation and (eventually) new roof/skylight.  Armand has informed me that they can also give advice on contractors and construction matters, so I think they're an invaluable resource if you own a home in San Francisco.
