Star Roofing is a top-notch business. we had our roof replaced a week ago and we couldn't be more pleased with the work done.

Star Roofing is a top-notch business. we had our roof replaced a week ago and we couldn't be more pleased with the work done. The crew showed up right on time, were very courteous and professional throughout the job and cleaned up the worksite completely. We needed replacement of a number of sheets of plywood and the supervisor let us know about it and the additional costs before they were replaced. The whole process from estimate to completion went very smoothly. Highly recommend.

From the initial phone call up until completion of our roof, the entire team at Star roofing have been phenomenal. We worked with Rich for our quote and Mike for project management. They were very flexible with us on time frame. Even upon discovering extra layers of shingles they worked with us on cost. The team of employees working on the roof were excellent as well, very thorough and friendly. Cleaned up our yard and the neighbors walkway well. No issues!

We especially loved that the estimate was a straight forward pitch. Nothing gimmicky. Just this is what we will do, this is what you'll need, and here's a quote explaining everything. Would recommend to everyone I know!

Star roofing did an absolutely great job on our roof! We only needed half the roof shingled and they matched the singles perfectly. They also completed the job quickly, efficiently, and with great care of the lawn and house. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

We had a wonderful experience with Star Roofing. What started out as a frantic call from my wife regarding a leaking ceiling, turned into a very unexpectedly pleasant experience. Will was at our house immediately (after hours) to access the situation, our ridge vent had failed, he provided an option to replace the ridge vent, as well as what a new roof would cost, but before we had even agreed to having Star Roofing complete the roof he patched the portion that failed ensuring no more water would enter our house. We opted to have our entire roof replaced, the quotes provided were reasonable and we did not feel pushed at all towards either option, repair or replace. The crew that worked on the house was very courteous and efficient, Mike and Tom were great in terms of being in contact with us as we waited for materials and scheduling. We truly appreciate the great work that was done and would highly recommend Star Roofing to anyone who is looking to have their roof repaired or replaced!

Bryan - Thank you for taking the time to write this. Will, Mike, and Tom are the examples of the standard we strive for.

Star did an excellent job replacing my roof. The team started on time and completed the job in one day. There were no surprises and everything was very straight forward. The cleanup was meticulous. I think the yard was cleaner after they finished than before they started. I would definitely recommend Star Roofing.

The Star team did an awesome job. Tommy, Angel, and the work crew were there super early and didn't miss a beat getting started. They removed and replaced our roof and ridge venting in record time all in one day and they did so on one of the hottest of days. Roof looks amazing and no more leaks. Great job guys. Thanks again!

Response from the owner 15:36 24 Jun 25

Rick- will pass this along to Tommy and Angel. They always do an amazing job, very rarely do people take the time to point it out. Thank you!
