Reliable Roofing, Quality Service Guaranteed
I was really pleased with the new roof job Lifetime Roofing and Renovation performed for my mom's house that I decided to hire them again for my house. Tony the project manager and his crew once again knocked it out of the park. The work done efficiently and and with quality/care. My wife and I are very pleased with how the project came out. The price point for concrete tiles is what I expected given the rising costs of material and labor.

Exceptional Service and Quality Roofing
We had a leak and two roofers (from different companies) tried to fix it, with no success. Eventually, we decided to get a new roof. After contacting multiple companies and getting quotes, Lifetime Roofing and Renovation seemed like the best option. I’m so happy we found them, because we’re very happy with the end result. I wanted to review them right away, but waited on purpose for winter and multiple rains, to make sure everything was sealed, and so far, so good. Nick S was especially helpful. I loved that he showed us all the possible materials, warranties and options during the initial appraisal, none of the other roofers were that specific and detailed. He was also always reachable and reassuring, whenever we had any questions or concerns. Thank you so much Nick and Lifetime.
