Freeman Roofing

Freeman Roofing is a quality company you can trust. Joe’s crew just finished replacing the original roof on our home built in the early 80s. The new roof looks great and all of the dry rot repairs we needed were done correctly and with superb quality. The job was executed in a timely fashion and his crew is clearly highly skilled in this trade and the finished product reflects that. I won’t hesitate to refer my friends and neighbors to Freeman Roofing and will certainly request their expertise again should I need it.

We LOVE our new roof. Joe was great! The quote was VERY competitive. He didn’t ask for ANY MONEY up front. The job was done in less than 3 days, as promised. They never left any messes at the end of each day… didn’t find a single nail or piece of trash! BEAUTIFUL work! Our house looks great with our new roof!

Joe’s crew was really good. They did the tear down of the old roof and put up the new roof in just two days. I was worried that we would get rain in our attic because it rained and hailed really hard right after they tore down the old roof. I went up on the roof with plastic tarp expecting the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the guys had completely covered the roof with waterproofing before they left for the day. The next day they came and took down the waterproofing and then put up the new roof and they were done by 3pm. They put up new gutters and fixed the downspouts that were crooked, but the new gutters don’t properly drain. Leaving stagnant water in the gutters is a breeding place for mosquitos. Because Joe doesn’t take credit cards (which we weren’t told up front) we ended up paying an additional $ 524 when we paid via PayPal (which is the same thing). Not happy about that, but Joe has to pay fees to accept credit or Paypal, so it only makes sense to pass those fees on to customers who don’t want to pay cash. We would just just liked to have known that up front (it’s the 21^st century after all). I did ask the crew before they left if they tested the gutters for proper draining and they said they did. Clearly that was not true. However, making them drain properly would likely mean setting them at an awkward angle that wouldn’t look good with the roof line. So it is what it is. Overall, I’m happy with the job Joe did. Just not about the additional fees and the gutters.

In December 2015, I was fortunate to have Freeman Roofing replace my worn-​out roof in Orinda. He impressed me right away when he inspected my old roof. He pointed out problems that two other bidders failed to notice, and he suggested solutions that made perfect sense to me. His quote was competitive, detailed, and clear, without a requirement for pre-​payment. His crew did an outstanding job, were friendly and courteous, and clearly took pride in their work. I am very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Freeman Roofing.

Freeman’s Roofing is great! I got three bids for my for my roof. Freemans was very competitive, but what tipped the scales for me was the fact that Joe Freeman wrote a great quote. It was informative and very detailed. I got the feeling that Joe would make sure the roof was done properly and fix whatever was wrong. I had extensive dry rot through out the eves. Joe’s crew did a great job making it right and pointing it out along the way. Information is a big deal to me! I also felt like Joe was doing everything he could to make things right without costing me a ton more money! I got the feeling that Joe truly cared about the job. I highly recommend Freeman’s roofing to anyone getting a new roof!

During our home purchase process, our realtor recommended Freeman’s Roofing to do an inspection after we went into escrow. Joe did a very detailed inspection and identified that the roof needed a complete new replacement. (Most inspectors don’t make these kind of calls knowing that it may kill the deal and risk not being hired by the realtor again.) Joe also pointed out that the material on the roof had a class action suit about ten years ago and that company is now out of business. Based on this information, we were able to get $ 5K credit towards our new roof from the seller! After getting several quotes, I felt the most comfortable going with Joe as he was really knowledgeable and he did a very good job explaining the process.
Joe’s crew did a fantastic job on the roof. They were fast and did a good job with the clean up. All permits and coordinating inspections were handled by Freeman’s Roofing. He also did some additional vent work for us for no extra cost.
A month later, we purchased a rental property in Concord. We of course hired to Joe come out for an inspection. He found some shingles that were lose or were missing. When Joe was repairing the roof, I mentioned that the pest inspector had recommended that the roof eaves be repaired due to dry rot. Joe replaced it without charging us and without even mentioning the extra costs for repairs. He told me about it after the job was done.
Freeman’s Roofing fees are very competitive. Freeman’s Roofing is an honest contractor, great customer service that does a great job. I HIGHLY recommend this company for anyone’s roofing needs.

August 2015 I hired Freeman Roofing to re-​roof a rental home in Walnut Creek. I had received other estimates and was pretty up on what questions to ask. Joe Freeman answered all of my questions and was very personable. His crew did an outstanding job and everything was done on time and to my satisfaction. No pre-​payments were required and although there was a written contract, it seemed very much like a handshake deal! In fact, there was some supplemental work which I requested after the job was finished, and we did that part on a handshake. I would recommend Joe Freeman to anyone!

Recently? We hired Joe Freeman Roofing company to replace our roof. Although he wasn’t the cheapest, he was the only one out of 3 bids that actually followed up on his written qoute and provided valuable insight into some dry rot issues and a patio cover roof that was done incorrectly. Everything was done as presented to us and on time. Joe is the owner and a great guy to work with. Highly recommend both him and his company. Mark Rajkowski — Concord

Freeman roofing is the best ! The best price, the highest quality and always stands behind his work. Freeman did our roof here in Alamo and when My daughter in Clayton needed a new roof Freeman did her roof as well. My new roof looks great and I have confidence enough that I just installed a 20 year Solar Panel system on the new roof. Joe Freeman is a contractor you can trust!

My husband and I have purchased more roofs in the last ten years than you would believe. We have had Freeman Roofing re-​roof three homes in the last 7 years (two of our own homes and one rental) and put on completely new roofs on two new, large homes in the last 5 years. Oh yeah, we also had our garage re-​roofed this past year. All were done with precision and perfection and in a timely manner. We have also referred him to neighbors, who we really liked, and who were grateful for the same great service. His crew is professional, quiet, responsible and exacting. Just what you need to keep you warm and dry. Don’t hesitate to leave your big job in the hands of this very professional company. I can’t say enough good about the job they do.

Freeman Roofing worked on our tile roof on three separate occasions for different reasons — re-​roofing of the existing roof and two new roofs for additions. They do top quality work at a reasonable cost. In addition, they performed the work on time and were very neat. Finally, they worked well with other contractors working on my house at the same time. My roof looks great!
I have no reservations recommending Freeman Roofing to anyone in need of a terrific roofer.
