I have called, left voicemails, text, emailed as I need Kent Roofing for another project. Despite all of my attempts over the last few months, I have yet to hear from anyone.
I thought maybe they're just busy but after trying to diligently trying and being patience, I will have to find a new roofer.
Not only did they two jobs for me, I also referred my neighbor who had work done, and my parents. A bit disappointed but I have to move on.

Receptionist lacks basic comprehension and communication skills. She does not listen and does not know how to communicate with customers. Not someone I would want to represent my business.
After estimator came to inspect (and I had to keep following up with the receptionist as she was just totally incompetent in getting a correct estimate to me), problem was misdiagnosed to the tune of $1800. Another roofer came out and explained a $0 fix that just involved some minor labor on my end.

I don't need that kind of ... to be part of someone who should be a problem solver even if he is 5th or whatever gen roofer he is
higher estimate
went with someone else who was more solution oriented.

We had a good experience working with Kent Roofing to replace our 30-year old wood shaker roof with composite shingles. After requesting a quote online, Patrick was quick to come out and provide us with a quote, which was very reasonable compared to the others we obtained. Dave was the project manager on our home and he stopped by our home prior to the project starting to provide samples and options for our gutters and downspouts - this was very much appreciated. Dave's team of 5-6 guys (varied by day) were able to remove our old roof and replace it all within one week. On the last day, Dave

Professional team, excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail, on time every time, reasonable cost. Installing a new roof is one of those major decisions that can seem overwhelming - Jonathan, Dave, Luis, and Karla made it easy. One of the best contractors we've ever worked with in our 30 years of home ownership on the Peninsula.

A great company to work with.
I had a very difficult and complex situation, with a little bit of everything (replacing tar and gravel with membrane, clay tiles, gutter repair and stucco patching).
Jonathan and his crew (including Karla in the office) were wonderful to work with through this awkward job, and it turned out perfectly, just as I wanted.
I'm surprised by some who say Kent's prices are a little higher, because I thought my quote was fair and solidly in the middle of the range I'd gotten. Not to go on a rant, but I care about service and long term warranty, as much

This review actually not about their work but about estimate. I call them to request estimate and we get appointment for estimator to arrive. After that I got call to reschedule and in fact we rescheduled appointment another 3 times!!! Finally estimator arrived to inspect balcony and promised estimate in 2-3 days. It is already 3 weeks, no estimate so far, I sent friendly reminder by E-mail, no reply to that e-mal either. I prefer that contractor honestly tell me that that they will not bid for a job (any reason, too busy, job is too small etc) but not disappear with promises. And it is not only

Not every contractor deserves a five star rating, but Kent roofing surely does. And they deserve your consideration for your roofing needs.
My experience with Kent started about 2.5 years ago after our home was fumigated. We were advised to have our roof inspected for broken tiles and leaks, which led me to reach out to Kent.
Karla is a total sweetheart and very easy to talk to. Jonathan is the consummate professional when he comes to inspect your roof. Francisco does excellent work on top of your house.

Mario and Francisco from Kent Roofing just completed two days of work on our house. They definitely demonstrated a high work standard.
Our roof has tiles that break easily and are no longer manufactured. These roofers knew how to walk on the roof so very few tiles broke, and, more importantly, they were able to bring a unbroken tiles to the job, to replace those that broke.
When they peeled off the outer tiles it was clear that more work, and expense, would be required to really do a thorough job. This probably happens in any roofing repair.

Update Friday September 4th
They did lower the price about $1,000 but it is still more than I would like to spend at this time. If I owned a regular site built house and not a mobile home I would probably go with them, but they were still too expensive for me.
Jonathan the owner of the company came to my house to give me a roof bid, for my 20-year-old roof, which has a number of shingles that have blown off and is ready for a new roof.
I have been researching roofing for the past month as a hobby during the covid times, using sites such as roofing.com, research roofing, consumer reports. Other

I had neglected my roof for a long time, then I saw some water damage on my kitchen ceiling. Two guys from Kent Roofing came out, removed the tiles from the roof, put down a new membrane, and cleaned up afterwards. All of this was done in just one day, which I greatly appreciated. They took pictures to show me what work was completed.
I would use Kent Roofing again for any work I needed. Highly recommended!

Kent Roofing, the best professional roofing company I ever came across. My tiled-roof happened to leak three places, I believe this was due to the tenting for the fumigation! One leak was on a complex flashing and it has to replace.
My point of contact was Sam. It was a busy December incident and I got an estimate pretty fast from Sam. Sam is super expert and very keen in the customer satisfaction. The quote was competitive, by the way I took three estimations!
Their crew is super professional, nice and know what they are doing. The crew took the pictures after strip the tiles and described

Back in 2017, Jonathon and his team came to remedy a roof leak. I appreciated the response time, and the fix at the time.
But today, we went on top of the roof to fix the Xmas lights, and surprised to find a mess of remnants of a large, framed tarp held down by ~20 concrete roof tiles still on top of the roof that we had to clean up. Pretty crappy follow thru.

Kent Roofing actually answers the phone (Karla) - first plus. Second, Karla quickly arranged to have the team come look at my skylights, several of which were leaking with heavy rain. After determining that my skylights were at the end of their life (25 years), a quote was put together, at which point Jonathan Kent (owner) came out to make sure that the 10 skylights were appropriately specified. Within a few weeks, the skylights were received and the work scheduled. Jonathan brought a large team and got all the work done in one day, in between rainstorms. Jonathan made sure everything was done

The service we received from Kent Roofing was absolutely stellar. We have used them for two projects. Jonathon's (who is the owner) roofing expertise is exceptional, and he was able to solve our leaking roof issue! He spent a lot of time with me explaining the issue and his plan of action, which gave me comfort. I appreciated that he came back quickly to our property and tried again when the first attempt was not successful. I also appreciated the honesty and integrity displayed by Jonathon and his father. It is rare to find a company these days that takes pride in craftsmanship like the owners

I definitely recommend Kent Roofing Company! I bought my home that had a new roof done by Kent Roofing Company. The roof looked great! After the first good rain, I noticed a leak in our house. I immediately "THOUGHT" it was a bad roof job.... WAS I MISTAKEN!!
I called them and they were able to come out within 1 hour to see what was going on. The gentleman that helped me was friendly and courteous. He told me that there was a hole in the roof. It appeared that someone drilled a hole through the roof. I thought, "wasn't me!" After going to
