Shea Roofing

Shea Roofing just completed a complex roofing job at my dental office, with both pitched Spanish tiles and flat roof sections. Mike Shea and his great team showed great attention to detail and professionalism in everything they did. The team was friendly and respectful and left the premises spotless each and every day until the job was finished.
You could not find a better choice to entrust your roof to than Shea Roofing, Inc. Thanks, Mike and the entire Shea Roofing team. I’m ready for El Nino now!

They are awesome! Family owned and Bill and Ken do a superb job.
Very professional, reasonable cost.
With El Nino coming up every roofer is booked. Just got a roof installed from them. Got 3 other estimates but they came in below everyone else. They did not try to gouge me. They also gave me a great warranty. Got the shingles that I wanted and Carolyn too care of all the paperwork. They were organized and on time. They are so busy that you have to leave a msg. I was kind of turned off by this but I understand, and they always respond to your messages.

Bill and I had a misunderstanding regarding a mutual client (I work for a solar company) and he reached out to me right away, personally to fix any issues that we had. After he found what I needed, he was more than willing to help clear it up. I appreciate that!

Bill is very rude! I asked him to break down an invoice for me and he complained in doing so! On top of that, I had other roofers look at his invoice and they stated that he was about $ 2000 higher than most! I will not refer him or use him in the future. ON a more positive note, the lady in the office that I spoke to the first time was very pleasant. He should probably just let her deal with customers since that is not his forte.

Bill and Ken Shaw are class acts and their roofs reflect that… we had a great experience — took a little longer because of El Nino but the experience was not bad at all… Reasonably prices and wonderful quality and warranty!!! Any problems, they were right there to fix them… check them out — and your decision will be made.

Well let me see Shea roofing showed up 4 hrs late never called. Put 6 holes in my ceiling and carved up my hardwood floors when they fixed the ceiling not very happy with this company!

With El Niño on the horizon we decided to replace our 25 year old roof.
After getting four estimates it was clear that Shea Roofing would be our hands-​down choice. Bill Shea presented us with a detailed estimate on the spot and explained everything it contained as well as product options and advantages. It wasn’t the cheapest, but his professional approach sealed the deal. This carried over to my dealings with Carolyn in the office as we set up the work schedule and then the incredible crew that did the work. Impeccable AND CLEAN!
A few weeks after the work was completed, we received a detailed 10 year warranty on the workmanship.
If there were six or even seven stars to give Shea Roofing I would without even a second thought. The best contractor experience of any kind we’ve had!

It was a complicated one with integrations from a flat roof to a metal roof. At the time, they didn’t do metal roofs but did meet with the other roofer to formulate a plan. Everything went smooth and the roof works perfect. The first major rain had me concerned about a little puddling. Ken (or maybe Bill) came out immediately, in the rain, and examined the situation. It turned out to be nothing but it did confirm their commitment to customer service. I’m glad I gave them a call and a 2^nd chance

As you can see from my stats, I don’t review many things and came to Unilocal to look for something else when I came across Shea Roofing. I have used Bill Shea for 3 different roofing jobs in the last 2 years. One full new roof and 2 repairs on 3 different houses. Just like everyone else, I had outstanding service from Bill and his family. He put the new roof on an investment property I own 2 years ago and it has been perfect. We haven’t had much rain, but we’ve had no problems with the rain we have had, and I am confident that we will have no trouble this winter. One repair was to a leaky roof during a rainy period and his team fixed it quick and there are no problems since then. The last job was an «el nino» inspection on a very old roof that is 2 asphalt layers over wood shake. Replace a few loose shingles and tar around the chimney was all he recommended.
I have recommended Shea Roofing to everyone who asks, and if you need a new roof or just a roof repair, this is the company to use.

It gives me shear pleasure to support a local Burbank business and also a family business. I have had the pleasure of using Shea roofing on redoing an entire roof in an apartment building complex as well as my personal residence. Bill comes out and takes a look, provides pictures and prints out the estimate right on the spot. They are busy and there is a wait to get them to come out but that only proves to their great customer service and work.
Will definitely use again as needed (hopefully not).
Many many thanks.

I’ve used Shea Roofing for about 15 years and on 3 different properties. Bill is great and they have always done good work at a competitive price. They’ve done Cedar Shingle repair work along with tear-​off and new asphalt shingle installation.

Shea Roofing was just wonderful to deal with. Their estimate was right in the ballpark. They showed up when they said and finished on time. Their work was perfect and they cleaned up well.
And they go the extra mile. We have a heavy 12 foot wide aluminum awning that had to be removed to do the work. I had mentioned that it needed to be painted as did the outside of the house. Shea offered to come back and put the awning back up after the painting (not being done by them) was finished. When I called to tell them it was time to put the awning back up, they came the very next day to do it. That was an extra trip for them that I only half expected to happen. I since recommended them to by neighbor with equally good results. I cannot recommend them too highly. You won’t be disappointed.

After a heavy rain storm, it was reported that water was leaking through the roof. I had our entire roof resurfaced 2 years ago, and I knew the minute I heard water was leaking in through the roof, that it could not be true, mainly because of the trust and confidence I have in Shea Roofing after meeting both owners, Bill & Ken, as well as watching the work be done in the most professional manner possible. After barely two years, there was no way it was the roof leaking. I was right according to what Ken himself discovered was the problem.
Even though it was not directly roof related, Ken still repaired the problem he discovered as well as having the right attitude toward their workmanship by checking the roof as long as he was there, and finding a few minor touch-​ups that were from outside work done by third parties.
From the moment you meet either Bill or Ken you sense a personal commitment and concern that they have for you and your property. Shea Roofing is a true mark of dependable, honest, trustworthy and friendly people who I was very pleased to have selected for the re-​roofing of our home. I highly recommend them for any work you may need done.

I’m fanatical when it comes to researching, so when it came time to re-​roof our home I dove head first into the project. I researched the types of roofing materials, the underlay, the reroofing process, contractors, the licensing process and anything there is available to do with putting on a new roof. After identifying the shingle, Landmark TL by CertainTeed, I identified nine (9) highly certified roofers to quote on my project.
When all of the bids came in and three (3) references each were checked, I selected Shea Roofing to replace my Calshake Tiles with Landmark TL’s. Bill was absolutely fantastic throughout the process. His bid was fair, the crews were fast, excellent and cleaned up each evening, and Ken ensured that the end result was perfect. Even the DirectTV dish was remounted and secured before the payment was made.
The new roof looks outstanding and I’m delighted with the workmanship. I highly recommend Shea Roofing. M

We had Shea Roofing reroof our home. They did a great job! Their estimate was honest and fair and we got it immediately, unlike other roofers who we had to call and remind we were waiting for their estimate. The tear down and roofing went quickly and they even put on a second crew when it looked like it could have rained. Their crews were pleasant, courteous, and the the clean-​up was done to our satisfaction. Highly recommended.

Shea Roofing replaced my roof shingles in June. They did a great job and I would recommend them. Bill and Ken Shea are professionals and their staff does excellent work. My neighbors commented too on how nice everything looks.

These guys are awesome. Fantastic workmanship and reasonable prices.
We had two skylights that were leaking, and asked Shea Roofing to come out to diagnose the problem. They explained that the wrong skylights were installed, and gave us a written estimate on-​the-​spot for removal and replacement. Bill was very straightforward and pragmatic.
The finished the skylights (and some additional flashing work we had done) in less than a day. Great work, kept the interior of our house clean, and were flexible with scheduling. Will DEFINITELY use them again for any roofing-​related work we need done.

This review is long overdue — it’s been almost a year. But the good news is that the tough places where the roof once had leakage are repaired for good. These people are fantastic. They are neat and respectful of your trees and they covered my skylights so when each layer of old roofs — there were two, came off, the house was unaffected by the dust and dirt that can easily fly in. They are efficient, reliable and trustworthy. Where many roofers will tell you it could take weeks to complete the job, the best part is, Shea Roofing finished my 1700 square foot home in 3 days. The complete new roof is absolutely beautiful! Thank you Shea Roofing!

Bill was professional and gave a reasonable price with the latest roofing materials. I was so happy they completed the work on time and neatly. I was pleasantly surprised that they painted the exhaust fans and pipes on top of the roof white to match. The new roof keeps the indoors 15 degrees cooler. The quality of the job is very good and I’m no longer having leaks. Thanks for a great roof Bill!

My reviews are typically on food but when the roof on your house is almost a half a century old and comprised of three layers, the bottom layer of wood shake shingles originally laid in 1939 when the house was built, it was time for a new roof.
I called a construction company that does roofing which I had used for many projects in the past to give me an estimate. I then looked up a few companies on Unilocal to get some additional estimates. These folks were one of those who came out and gave me an estimate.
As far as price, they were all in the ballpark. I will say that these folks were $ 50 cheaper than my original choice but that had nothing to do with my choice to have Shea do the job.
Bill Shea was my first contact. Great fellow. No BS. Very personable. He clinched the job with paperwork. Literally. His estimate was on a work order that he printed in front of my house in his truck. The package was organized, complete beyond comprehension, and professional. The package included warranty information, color charts, catalogs from the shingle manufactures. Total pro job.
The tear off crew: These folks were scheduled to arrive at 1:00pm on the first day of work. They arrived about 12:30pm. They were done by 3:00pm. There were eleven people on my roof at one point. They worked like a well choreographed dance company. The cleanup was perfection, right down to a magnet on rollers that they rolled around my entire property to pick up any metal or old roofing nails. In a word, Outstanding.
The crew that installed the new roof. To repeat myself, Outstanding. The crew was first rate. The labor and craftsmanship of installation was excellent. I spent two decades in QA/​QC as many of my friends know and one of my quests in life is finding fault with the work of others ;) No issues here. None. The corner work, flashing, fit and finish are all as good as it gets. Did I mention I used to build boats and my degree is in Architectural Engineering? I have a bit of experience in some areas of build quality, design and attention to details.
Ken Shea is the brother and one of the company owners along with Bill Shea. I met with Ken about three or four times during the course of the work. Once again, a great part of a great company in my eyes. Very knowledgeable and just an all around cool fellow.
I don’t want to leave out Caroline who answers the phone and may be the office manager. I talked to her a number of times on the phone. She always had answers to my questions and was on top of everything.
Bottom line. These folks take pride in their work and are masters of their craft. That is not all that common these days. Then again, to be fair, after installing what could be a half a billion roofs they should be masters. Then again, they could have also learned to take shortcuts and cut corners which they have not done. The workers and staff are all terrific. I guess the real bottom line is… if you need roof work done, call these folks. They work all over SoCal as a side note.

We’ve been procrastinating for so long about needing a new roof. Our «25 year» roof was 30 years old. The recent rain (that lasted one day — this is southern CA) resulted in a drip drip drip in our dining room. Erg! We gotta do it! (We happened to be in the middle of a yard re-​do, but that’s another story…)
So, we called Shea — they had done a neighbor’s roof seven years ago and had given us a quote at that time. They updated the bid, which was better than others we got. The vibe was so much better — a family business who not only give the bid but do the work. No hard sell here or having the bid from one guy but the work is with unknown others — as it was with other bids.
They did the job so well and so fast, it was awesome! The few days of pounding on the roof had me thinking there were people at the door all the time but I got over that — that happens no matter who does the work!
They cleaned up the roof detritus and did quality work. They had a lot to do up there!
The roof was a mess with humps and bumps and a terrible pad for the A/​C. There was a weird flat part that didn’t make any sense. They rebuilt it all, and had people who came to do specialty tasks, i.e., hooked up the satellite — no gap in our tv service which my spouse really appreciated. They suggested others who could come and fix whatever we needed, such as one gutter area that needed rebuilding.
All in all, the project is done and we no longer have to deal with needing a new roof — at least for 50 years. They told us about the Cool Roof rebate from our power company, and the federal tax rebate for an Energy Star roof, both of which we were not aware.
Bill and Ken Shea are now our roofers of choice, brothers who do great work, have other great contractors to supplement for special tasks, and run an all-​around solid roofing business. If we ever move or we have a natural disaster, we know who will do any roof work for us.

Just a little update here. After the massive rains and hurricane like winds (hey, it’s LA, this is as bad as it gets for us) we just had, I had a very minor drip coming off my water-​heater exhaust in the garage. Called up Shea, and Ken was here the next day to fix it up. Apparently the winds blew off a metal cap — causing the mild leak.
You got to figure with a big job such as a new roof, there may be some weak spots here and there. What counts is that they came to fix it up ASAP.

As I read these posts about Shea Roofing they’re all fine. Bill is great, he is courteous, he is on time, he didn’t return my call. All valuable information, but what about the roof? Bill installed my roof about 15 years ago. I can tell you the roof has performed beyond my expectations. Through the rains of 2005 to the wind storm in December my Shea roof has kept us secure & dry. I even had an insurance adjuster check the roof after the December wind storm even though there was no damage (I had property damage elsewhere) and he commented that the roof had no damage because it was installed correctly. I would recommend Shea Roofing without hesitation.

These guys are amazing. Seriously. Huge rainstorm in Los Angeles that resulted in a small leak in my living room — which I discovered when I got home from work via a puddle on my hardwood floors. I emailed them that night, as they had installed my roof about 4 years ago, and Ken was out there by 1:00 the next day to fix it. In the middle of the LA rain season. Tremendous customer service. If only everyone could treat customers like this.
