Report
Ruff Roofers is an outstanding company. They repaired my slate roof after a tree fell on it during a windstorm. My point of contact was Mike Brewer, who impressed me with his professionalism, kindness, and honesty regarding the necessary repairs and navigating insurance matters. Mike really went to bat for me with the insurance company, ensuring they didn't shortchange me. His perseverance and advocacy were deeply appreciated.
Throughout the process, he maintained excellent communication, keeping me informed every step of the way. The quality of their workmanship is flawless, and my slate roof looks incredible! Ruff Roofers is truly exceptional, and I wouldn't hesitate to choose them again!

Ruff Roofing installed a magnificent copper roof years ago on this property for the previous owners. Ryan and Spencer and others have come out to make minor repairs in gutters and caulking they really didnt have to do. But they are kind, quick to respond, and communicate excellently. They are the specialists we would always call because of their terrific work ethic and results. You wouldnt do better anywhere else.
