I am writing the review to warn others NOT to use this company as we had the misfortune of doing. This company is owned by a man(child) named Dave Whitaker. Although anxious to get your business as all contractors are, his true colors come out after you've committed to his company and paid your bill. A roofing job that should only take 3 days or so took much longer with countless delays and endless excuses. One of those delays was when one of his (...meth addled I suspect...) workers fell off my roof. He will very rarely return your calls even though his annoyingly dishonest phone message claims "Leave a message and I will call you right back". His word means nothing.
When we bought our new roof he told us that on the 10 year anniversary, he'd come out and inspect things to make sure there were no problems. It's an empty promise. Three to four months ago we started calling him to come out and inspect our roof. We left message after message. After countless calls, he, amazingly, called back only to make excuses why he couldn't do the promised inspection. He said he was too busy. He asked us to call back in a couple of months. We did. I've been calling him for 2-3 weeks now and evidently he's too busy to make a 1-2 minute return call to one of his customers.
Avoid Dave Whitaker like the plague. Mr. Whitaker is the poster child for disreputable contractors and his company personifies all that is wrong with so many contractors nowadays. They talk a good game until they get your money and then they disappear. His promises mean absolutely nothing. His word means absolutely nothing. He's completely devoid of honor, respect or integrity. Do yourself a favor and avoid the aggravation.
You have other options.

We are very happy with our new roof. The quality and workmanship were superb. The price was competitive. The selection of material was adequate. The owner is professional. I highly recommend Valencia roofing.
