We had a severe leak in our roof. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the price for a new roof was so high from other quotes we received. In addition others also had terrible warranties. The Roof Doctor was the most affordable and the quality is great! Manuel, Ramiro and his team got our old roof off and new one put on in one day. They were very professional and knowledgeable in the trade. It looks great and we are so relieved. Thank you!

Outstanding Service from Manuel at The Roof Dr.! I had an excellent experience working with Manuel at The Roof Dr. in Chehalis. He removed an old satellite dish that had been leaking into the garage. Not only did he fix the issue, but he also went the extra mile by returning months later to recheck it and make sure there were no new leaks coming through. That level of care and dedication is hard to find!

From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right. He took the time to explain all my options clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt confident in the process. His attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship were evident throughout the project. The work was excellent, and the team left everything clean and tidy when they finished.

Its rare to find someone who genuinely cares about their work and their customers, but Manuel exemplifies that. If youre looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled roofing professional, I highly recommend Manuel at The Roof Dr. You wont be disappointed!

Tara is seriously a magician. Our office roof turned out so wonderful! The crew came out and worked SO hard, were very professional, and answered all our questions. The roof looks amazing, it was finished on a timely manner, and most importantly, Im very happy. If you need a roof in LC, look no further.

I just had my 20+ year old roof replaced last month by The Roof Doctors excellent team of craftsmen. My Project Manager was Manuel Reyes who made the entire process easy and carefree. He answered every question and concern and made sure all needs were met. Very quick turnaround from start to finish! Extremely competitive bid. High quality products. High quality demo and cleanup. The crew was amazing. These guys are hardworking, efficient, productive and skilled at what they do. 10/10 and recommend without hesitation. Thanks for managing it all Manuel!

Manuel's team fixed the facia of my gable this week. Also checked the drainage on my carport and secured the metal sheet. They were nice while here and finished the job in a few hours.

We have a large log home with large 2 story game room and a breezeway all attached by one roof, and they tore off all of the old metal, put up new sheeting, and put up new shingles all in 1 day! I was super impressed. Communication was great, everything clean when they left, and we love the look of our new roof!

Great experience with the Chehalis Roof Doctor. Colton gave us a reasonable bid and fit us in their schedule quickly, Chance and others in the office have been very helpful and the crew doing the work did a very good job at my roof and exceeded my expectations.

They did a professional job and finished in a day. Ken, the owner, was very accommodating and adjusting the price. Very fare on the change order. I would highly recommend this roofing company to anyone needing a quality roof at a reasonable price. Thanks Ken for helping me out with a nice new quality roof.

Called the Roof Doctor and Ken was out within 2 days with a quote. With the quote accepted Ken said the roof replacement would be 4-6 weeks out, because of how busy they were. The wait ended up being a bit more than 6 weeks due to weather issues, but that was no problem. The crew showed up at 7:30 on a Thursday morning and pulled out of the driveway at 6:00 PM that evening with the reinstall completed!

The roof was 3000sq feet. They removed the old shingles, did repairs, installed new vents, laid the tar paper, and installed the new shingles and it looks fantastic. If any problems happen to pop up on the roof, they will be right out to fix it! If you have a roof that needs repair/replacement. Give Ken a call right now! The Roof Doctor will definitely be my choice for any other roof work I have.

I would have been completely ripped off if not for these nice people. Never go with a first estimate, check around. My first quote was from a reputable company recommend on Angie's list. What a joke. The crew was very respectful of me and my property and my dumb questions too. Not only that, the job turned out beautifully. Thanks guys.

The crew showed up on time and started working right away. Within an hour all the old roofing was off and several areas of rot uncovered and pointed out to us. Since they were here we had them replace areas of rot and install a solar tube. By 4 pm the roofing job and repairs were completed. Additional crews showed up and cleaned up all the materials from our yard.

The Roof Doctor is an amazing business! They responded very quickly to help cover all of the leaks in our roof until it could be replaced. I appreciated their phone calls to update where they were on the roof project. If you need a roof give them a call.

We were absolutely blown away by the great way The Roof Doctor treated us from start to finish. Their customer service, quality of work, professional conduct, and competitive pricing are what sets them apart from the other roofing companies we chose not to hire. From arrival to departure, the crew was finished with my 3000 square foot roof in less than eight hours and they cleaned up all the tear off, nails, cleaned out the gutters, and even swept up the grit from the old shingles off our deck.

Ken treated me extremely well and exhibited an uncommon fairness and honesty that I don't see often among many contractors.

I highly recommend The Roof Doctor to anyone who wants the best customer care and the best roof around. They will be the only ones I call for any other roofing needs I have in the future. You will not be disappointed!

Requested bids from quite a few roofing enterprises before selecting the Roof Doctor. The bids ranged from about $6k to $14k for a nominal 2,000 square foot ranch home. Roof Doctor came in at $11,500 but the final bill was $14k after adding tax plus $1k for some serious chimney repair and a bunch of new fan exhaust vents. I ended up selecting the Roof Doctor because I knew they were insured, they are kind of local, and my roof was in really bad shape and I didn't know what kind of surprises they were going to find once they started taking off the old shingles.

A crew of eight showed up at 7:30AM in the morning. They were in 2 trucks. One for dumping the old shingles into and the other with all the stuff for putting on the new roof. Shingles were off by about 10:30. Crew foreman advised me of the ventilation and chimney issues and I approved the options he had advised. They had all the materials for dealing with all the options already in the truck so nobody had to go running for stuff they didn't have. The job was complete, including a thorough sweep and vacuuming of grounds adjacent to the house, by about 5:30PM.
