Best Wood Shake Roof Inspection in Phoenix AZ

After numerous phone calls and no show appointments to other roofing companies I was lucky to call Caliber.  From the initial phone call to the final tile nailed in place we have been more than pleased.  The communication, THE PRICE, the detail to make our roof 100 percent.   Thank you.

I called many roofing companies and none wanted to do a small job ( I just needed fascia replaced due to wood rot) orthey never contacted me back or said they'd come n never did... Gleason came gave me an estimate and got the job done in 2 weeks... their workers are super friendly and the owner was a pleasure to deal with... deff recommend

I'm a veteran, have multiple deployments under my belt. When I deal with businesses and people, there's a reciprocity of trust. When you break trust, there are consequences.
When selling a house while living out of state, Ridge Roofing was recommended for roof repairs. Garrett was professional, and came in at the cheapest of three bids, so we chose him.
The buyer's agent did their final walk-thru the day after the roofing work was to be finished. That morning I called Garrett for the invoice and to pay. He said he had to send a couple of guys out that morning to finish some work, but it'd be quick.
That night my agent emailed that during walk-thru, the buyer's agent saw roofers fixing damage to the patio roof and we risk missing the closing date based on the depth of repair. They sent an addendum addressing this risk. One part of the email read, "Hunter McBride with Ridge Roofing happened to be on site cleaning up some debris that had been left behind. We pointed out to him that it looked like one of the roof repairmen had stepped through the ceiling. He confirmed this, and said his company would take care of it.. He took a paint chip with him to match the paint..."
Next morning, I texted Garrett. Here's the verbatim exchange.
Me: Hi Garrett, the buyers did a walk thru of the house yesterday and saw a hole in the patio roof. They're asking 2 questions that I hope to relay answers back to them:
- Are you folks going to be able to do the repairs to the hole?
- Can we get an estimated time of completion for the work, ideally with photos of the repaired area?
Thanks kindly, sir.
Garrett: Are they wanting us to cover it? I have a drywall guy I can refer and could get it done pretty fast. It was a cracked seen in the drywall from having extra weight in the patio. The repair tech didn't do anything wrong the seem just cracked.
Piet: Hi Garrett, please check email. Hunter McBride owned up to the damage and said Ridge Roofing was handling these repairs (specifically the photo you sent), and Hunter even took a paint chip along to match paint. That info came from the buyer's agent. Has something changed since? Closing date is scheduled for tomorrow.
Garrett: If it was something our repair tech did to cause the damage we would cover it no questions. But that is not the case in this situation. We would gladly refer the drywall guy we use. But a drywall seem separating just from being on the roof, which he had too do is not our fault.
"Ok. I told the guy representing the buyer that if our guy fell through and caused that we would cover it. But that wasn't the case obviously" - this is what I got from Hunter
Photos taken the month prior show the patio ceiling in good shape. I'd hope so; we replaced it in 2015.
The buyer's inspector checked it on 3/14. He identified a number of items, to include patio roof, and he took a lot of photos of all faults. The drywall was fine.
Aside from Garrett's team, nobody was on the patio roof. Yet the day after work was finished, the drywall had a man-sized hole punched through. Garrett says his people didn't cause it. So sometime between the inspection, and my exchange with Garrett, the hole in the patio roof mysteriously appeared. It's mysterious because Hunter McBride took responsibility for the damage to the buyer's agent; but not even 12 hours later, Garrett stated that it wasn't the company's fault, that the drywall seam "just cracked".
So no, I don't recommend Ridge Roofing. They're liars, unethical, irresponsible, clutzy, and don't own up to their mistakes. Their lack of ethics jeopardized my closing on the house.
They claim they're licensed & bonded. To avoid getting sued, check their documents in case one of their clowns falls through your roof, too. Or better, find a different contractor-one with more scruples and fortitude.
Speaking of scruples, check Google reviews for a bogus review Hunter McBride left for his own employer

Avoid at all costs!  

We had our roof repaired and all went seemingly smoothly.  Until about a year later.  A big storm came through and the roof leaked.  I called and they sent a guy out to look.  He saw where the water was coming into the living room and said "I know right where that's at."  Enough said.  

Several months later, another big rainstorm came through and water ran into my living room again.  Again, two guys came out and said they'd be able to take care of this.  When it started leaking again a year later they suddenly had no record of ever having worked on our house.  After searching for two years I found the contract.  I called our insurance company who sent an inspector.  The inspector made several notes of "shoddy workmanship."  It was done in a hurry, and failure to correctly seal air conditioning mounts resulted in rain pooling, and if it was a very hard rain, running up and under a row of shingles, and into the house.

Now that it's been fixed we're having to repair the damage to the interior walls.

Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.
