Powers Roof Service

I was looking for help on a Sunday with a suspicious ceiling bubble and emailed Powers Roof Service because of their great ratings.
In my haste, I didn’t realized Powers works on tile roofs. I was even more disappointed as President Galen Powers personally answered my email, even though I had followed up with an email admitting my error, as I have a composite roof.
Galen was apologetic and completely professional, making me even more regretful that he just doesn’t work on my type of roof. His caring concern about me finding the right professional was such a nice touch. I had not even met him, but he already had my trust. Granted, this is a Sunday, but Galen was the only one to respond to my email.
Thank you Galen! I wish every professional experrience could be as positive.

We’ve had leak problems on and off for 10 years on one section of our roof. Two visits over the years by Roof Doctors (their reviews used to be good, not anymore) stopped the leaks for a year or two, or at least hid it well enough to get a year or two without seeing a leak inside the house. We needed it fixed right this time and Galen was the right choice. He is a man that is truly passionate about concrete tile roofs and fixing them right. Surprisingly he doesn’t install roofs or work with roofing material other than concrete tile. He takes a huge number of photos on his tablet before and after the work to describe the work that needs to be done and the work that was completed. He’s a very good salesman and businessman who says what you want to hear and has built a successful business on not just quality work, but strong salesmanship and reliability. If it were possible to invest in a roof repair business, he’d be the guy to invest in.
There really aren’t many companies that I could find that strictly deal with roof repair. I’m sure Powers is not the cheapest, but you are getting the problem solved, once and for all.
He doesn’t deal with solar equipment, so I had to deal with getting an electrician to disconnect and reconnect some conduit. Would be nice if he had a relationship with a solar company to coordinate these issues, but I’m sure he’s getting plenty of work without doing that.
Of course the real test will be a winter with no leaks. If I never update, just assume it didn’t leak.

The last big storm revealed a leak in my concrete tile roof. I found the company here on Unilocal.I contacted Galen via his website messaging tool. He responded by email immediately. He looked up my roof online, discussed with me the location of my problem and discussed with me his preliminary diagnosis. We scheduled a time for him to come out. He confirmed our appointment via email and phone, and he showed on time.
On arrival, Galen was very professional and explained everything in great detail; I received a mini-​roofing clinic regarding valleys, how they work, and the materials that go into them. He found a few cracked tiles and replaced them with extras I already had on-​hand with no extra charge.
The customer service was absolutely excellent; exactly as described in these multiple 5-​Star reviews. Don’t call anyone else!

5 stars is not enough for Powers Roof Service, his company is above and beyond that!
We had Galen and his team come out this past Summer to clean the valleys of our 2 story roof after I had a couple of leaks from this past Winter rain. Since then I had another leak in the corner of our home coming into our master bathroom, I called Galen a couple of weeks for an appointment and he was booked until late December. I told him I would wait as I know what kind of service I get from his company.
I got a call from him yesterday as he knew I needed to get this repaired ASAP, he decided to come out today on his day off to repair my roof. After assessing the leaking area he showed me pictures and explained to me in detail what was causing the leak. His initial estimate time of repair was a few hours, I went to work in the afternoon and when I returned I figured he would be done with the repair. He was still here working on my roof! He found another leak and went ahead and fixed it, I asked him if I owed him anymore money and he said no and took care of it for me. This 3 hour job turned into 5 plus!
It is RARE these days to find a company that is dedicated, honest, and goes the extra mile to get the job done! It is professionals like this who give homeowners faith that there are still GREAT contractors’ out in this cruel world! You have a customer for life!
My wife and I truly thank you!

Another 5+ Star review for Galen and his team. I had a suspicious looking stain above the shower. Just assumed it was a leaky pipe, then the plumber checks it and says «no, actually it is your roof».
Called Powers based on their great Unilocal reviews. Galen came out and looked at it and although he is busy for 3 weeks, he says if he has a cancellation he’ll move me forward but would I be wiling to wait? Since this is July and it is in the high 90’s every day, I decide to wait and VERY HAPPY with the decision because he showed up on time, did the work quoted, took pictures and sent them to me of the finished job, and recommended someone else who would replace the stained drywall inside the house.
Great communication, reasonable pricing, accurate quote — what a gem of a service business. Sounds like I am gushing but I work with a fair number of service companies and only occasionally find a company this easy to deal with and honest. Highly recommended and I’d definitely use them again.
(When if and when it starts raining, Powers will have more business than they can handle because they have more customers than they can handle right now in the heat of the summer so get into their work queue ASAP if you need work done before winter!)

Great job! Came over on time, did excellent work and followed up in the evening. Definitely recommend Galen!

You get what pay for. And with Galen’s work and his guys Chan & Forest, you are getting the best.
I’ve had work done by so-​called other highly rated roof repair services only to find out after the fact their work was crap. They would do what they needed to do to resolve the problem, but with Powers Roof Repair, these guys go above and beyond to a level of perfection. Using the best materials, the best guys on the job and documenting everything they do so that you can see the before and after.
Sure, you can find outfits that will do what’s needed for less, but with Powers, you will have piece of mind. And to me, that’s worth it.
We just had all the valleys of our tile roof repaired because we had so many leaks due to crappy workmanship and use of substandard materials. I can now confidently have the sheetrock repaired knowing the leaks will no longer be there because I’ve seen the images Galen has taken of the work they performed.
Kudos to these hard working guys. I will and have kept them on my go-​to list for roofing and gutter work. I will also confidently refer friends to them.

If I could give ten stars I would! This company goes above and beyond! Calls are promptly returned, appointments kept, and work performed and documented in an excellent manner. Galen, the owner, even called to remind us of the installation date, and called us 20 minutes before his arrival to do the install. (A breath of fresh air after struggling to get anyone to return our calls for an estimate.)
We recently purchased a home built in 1994, and had a roof inspection before the purchase. We needed some valleys cleaned, some tiles replaced, and some vents resealed. The contractor gave us an estimate. We decided to look around. Powers Roof Service came in at one third the price quoted by the original contractor.
Galen inspected our roof, and treated our roof as he would his own. He is a perfectionist, and very honest and knowledgeable. He took photos as he inspected the roof and showed us exactly what was needed on his iPad. He spent a great deal of time with us detailing how the repairs would be done. (Obviously, seeing the pictures was very helpful in understanding the roof repairs needed.)
When installation day arrived, Galen and his crew of two installers were on time, polite, unobtrusive, efficient, and did a great job cleaning up. (Galen had even hunted down a old tile that is no longer made to replace one of our broken tiles.) To top it off, Galen showed us before and after pictures after the job and emailed them to us a few days later for our files.
It doesn’t get any better than this folks … can’t say enough about the company ethics, the customer service, and the quality of the work performed … after all, we saw the pictures! :-)

«Oh sh! t! I think there’s a leak in my house!» That uh-​oh moment when you realize you’re about to shell out $$$$ cha-​ching! That’s what I felt like.
One evening I came home to find water leaking from the ceiling of my upstairs guestroom. We recently had some crazy rain a few weeks back, so I suspected it could be the roof. The house was about 10 years old, the room was on the second floor, and the leak was coming from the ceiling, so it made sense. Plus, there was a leak coming through the top of the sliding door during rainy days that I’ve been putting off for a while now.
Sigh~ I was dreading the expense. Guess I’ll have to pick up a part-​time job at Centerfolds to pay for the repair. Money into the wooha and back out the wooha!
So.Home contractors, where to begin right? They’re as honest as lawyers and mechanics. Hah! So I turned to my trusty Unilocal.Even with all the good reviews about Power Roof Service, I was skeptical, since a lot of individual contractors use family and friends to review their Unilocal account. Still, it couldn’t hurt to get a quote. Plus, I was in dire need of rush service.
I spoke to Galen, who said he normally only services the surrounding Roseville area, but he’d be in the Elk Grove area within the next week and that he’d stop by early morning to take a look and quote me. On a Saturday too!
Saturday morning. I overslept. crap. I awoke to the doorbell, perfectly on time — you know how contractors are always late! He wasn’t! I rolled outta bed and had to talk to him in my PJs (so embarrassing!). He was super honest, never even tried to sell me anything I didn’t need, and even pointed out things that I didn’t notice, non-​roof related.
In the end, he told me my roof was fine and that I might want to check the seals around my windows and the unit in the attic. I had a nice lesson on the little pipe sticking out of my house to the backyard. if it’s dripping, it’s the condensation from that attic unit and that was the possible leak. I was expecting some kinda BS on how I needed to fix this roof tile or that, but nope! He said everything looks fine, and I don’t need anything done unless I wanted to clean the gutters, which he recommended his? brother’s? company. The assessment was free, and he was on his way. That simple.
In a world of rip-​off-​artists, it’s refreshing to find such a genuine person/​company that I can rely on when it comes to home specialization. I have his card tucked safely in my «home fixtures» stash for any future roof-​related problems.
P. S. I found the leak. It was the motherF’ing heater unit in my attic!

We had Galen come out and do an inspection for us. Galen was extremely helpful, thorough and completely upfront which is a rarity in the industry these days. He made us feel confident, reassured and completely satisfied with his company. He is very personable and you can tell he takes great pride in his company and the services they offer. We will definitely be looking to do future business with Powers Roof Services. No need for us to go anywhere else… he’s that good. Thank you so much Galen! Looking forward to becoming a very loyal customer of yours.

I cannot say enough about this crew of professionals. They were on time, clean, professional and friendly. Galen absolutely knows his stuff and does the job right the first time. Will definitely keep this crew on my roof «go-​to» guys!

Galen didn’t just fix my roof but put a lot of effort into making the roof like new rather than just patching it up. He is friendly and beyond fair in what he charges.

Thank you Galen for your wonderful service!
Galen came out to our rental property after a huge storm to inspect our roof for leaks that developed in the high winds. Many roofers in the area were backed up for weeks. He was able to come out in a timely manner & give us a 2 reasonable quotes (one for an in-​depth repair, and one for a basic repair.) I live 2 hours away from the property, but he worked well with our tenants, and kept me up to date the entire time. He came out yesterday to make the final repairs, and sent me photos this morning showing everything he did. What a smooth process. Thank you Galen, we will be recommending you to all our friends in the Rocklin area :)

All the 5 stars you see on Unilocal regarding Galen and his company are all true. I can vouch for it. I’m sure if you called around for any roof repair, you’ll get a wide range of results, that is from the ones who actually respond to emails or phone messages. From the ones that call back, some are as bad as used car salesman, trying to sell off unnecessary repairs. So where can a guy find a honest person who will charge for honest work?
I reached out to Galen several months ago after trying 3 times with other roofers in the Sacramento area who either tried to scam me or thought time commitments were a vague idea. From the very beginning, we kept in touch with emails and he responded promptly. He came over today and worked on my roof for about 6 plus hours and I could not be happier.
Don’t waste your time with other roofers.
Thanks again Galen.

The last large storm was the pass or fail test for Galen’s work. Heavy rainfall with heavy wind. Just the scenario for the roof to leak prior to the Powers Gutter and Roof Service repair. I had no doubt of the quality and thoroughness of the work, but with wind howling and the rain pouring, you wonder.
The repair worked wonderfully! Just as advertised and expected. It was well worth the money to finally have the right company come and make the needed repair. Finally, peace of mind knowing that the roof won’t leak… again.
Thank you Galen, Powers Gutter and Roof Service.
You truly have a raving fan of your company.

Galen was 100% professional! After the last rain storm, our roof started leaking and he was the only one to get back to us. Price is fair, was here during the h time he said he would be, great work and super great personality. We would recommend Powers & Roof Service above anyone else!

These guys are great.
Gavin came out when other roofers said they would and did not.
He looked at my roof carefully, came down and explained what work I needed.
He was also honest enough to tell me he didn’t specialize in the type of work I needed and referred me to a company that did.
Quality Company. Good People. Highly Recommend.

Look no further — Galen is THE best in the business! Galen took his time in explaining and ensuring we thoroughly understood our roof issues, and took before and after pics for us to see. Galen really is top notch! Honest, reliable, knowledgeable and professional. He truly has passion for his trade. You will not be disappointed! Call now!

These guys are top-​notch!
Galen and his brother Daniel are a pleasure to work with. They offered a great service at a reasonable price. Plus they were great at giving me additional advice on how to deal with my clogged gutters. Would use them again in a heartbeat!

When was the last time I had my gutters cleaned? That’s a very good question! Other than the half assed work that I tried to do myself; who knows if they were cleaned at all because they sure as hell haven’t been cleaned since I’ve been living here for the last two years. In comes Galen.
He returned my call promptly and gave me a quote over the phone without even having to come out to the house. He used Google Maps (that’s smart!). He gave me the price for the work and I gave him the green light to do the work. He gave me a time frame of when he was going to come and kept me apprised that he would be coming later on than the scheduled time.
Once he got here, he introduced himself and immediately went to work. Friendly dude by the way! He worked on my house longer than I anticipated, and when he was done I asked him how it was and he said it was one of the worst gutter’s he’s ever worked on. I really really felt bad that I had to put him to work like that, but he did a great job. He recommended I get these gutters cleaned every two years, so in two years, I will definitely be hitting Galen back up! Hopefully it won’t be as bad as it was this time!
