Our Reviews
We were impressed with Jim when we first met to discuss replacing our roof. He was very knowledgeable and answered questions fully. The price he quoted for our job was in line with the other estimates that we received but we felt more comfortable with him due to his years of experience in the roofing industry. Miguel was in charge of our project and he met with me as scheduled to pick out the materials. He guided me toward the product that seemed most appropriate for our job and not just the most expensive. He helped me figure out the color that would go best with the colors of our house. The team arrived early on the day scheduled and started right away on removing the old roof. I was amazed that by the end of the day they had completed the entire roof replacement and were cleaning up the area. They also removed and hauled away our old swamp cooler that we had requested they take care of for us. For the minimal fee charged for this it was well worth it to have them take this off as it was a heavy piece of machinery that we needed to have taken down. What a relief it was to have this done and to have the job completed in one day! We have had no issues with the roof (although to be fair, we have not had any major storms to contend with either). I don't expect to have any issues if the monsoons actually arrive this year but know that the materials and workmanship are under warranty and that Canyon State Roofing will stand by their work.
The entire team at Canyon State Roofing deserves a 5-star rating. This includes Jim (owner), Robyn (administrator), Joe (sales), Mike (job foreman), and the entire roof removal and installation crew. Canyon State's level of customer service and attention to detail is truly top notch. Robyn in the office was friendly, personable, and quick to respond to any needs or questions. Joe was patient with my questions, provided thorough descriptions of the remediation my roof might need, provided samples to help me choose the right shingle, and worked with me to find the right solution for my budget and long-term home ownership goals. On the day of my roof installation, Canyon State's friendly crew covered my entire yard and plants with heavy duty tarps to prevent damage and, after the job was completed, the team carefully removed the tarps, swept the driveway, went over the yard with a magnet for loose nails, and disposed of all leftover debris, leaving my yard safe and tidy. Throughout the installation, I was kept apprised of the schedule and any issues. My new roof is beautiful and will protect my home for years to come. More importantly, I have every confidence that should there be an issue, Canyon State will make it right. I give them my highest recommendation - impeccable!!!
I invited estimates from five companies, only Canyon State sent the owner, Jim McLain, to see me. In my conversation with him, I felt that he was truly looking for the best solution for my 20 year old roof. He assured me that I would be very happy with their process, especially the superintendent, Miguel Beltran. I made the decision to go ahead with a complete roof replacement. The crew was very methodical, after watching them work for five days and interacting with Mr. Beltran I came to believe that they were doing my roof the way they would do their own. When replacing a roof you usually find some broken tiles and others get broken in the roofing process. The color of replacements can't be matched exactly to 20 year old tile. I was concerned about the mismatch. Mr. Beltran assured me I needn't worry. He was correct. The new tiles were placed in an inconspicuous area and probably only a roofing professional could tell where they were. They have been in business for around 25 years, that fact makes me feel good about the 20 year warranty they gave us. It's only been a couple of months now, but I would definitely do business with Canyon State again. It didn't hurt that their price was the lowest for the same product than the other four companies.
In 2015 we had Canyon State Roofing remove the shingles from our house and install a metal roof. This was a complex and detailed-oriented project and I chose Canyon State because of their expertise in a style of roof that, for example, is very common in Tornado Alley where we once lived but is less often used in Phoenix despite the sometimes severity of our Monsoon storms. The roof has performed above...far above...our expertations! Fast forward to this January: the flat...non-metal roof on the back portion of our house (which had been installed by another company in 2008) was beginning to worry us as it seemed like it was approaching the end of its lifespan. So, I contacted Canyon State and to my pleasant surprise was told that a complete redo was not needed but that instead recoating and repairing the seems and edges was all that was needed. And...that making these improvements now would hold us for many years to come. The crew always arrived on time and on schedule. They were absolutely fastidious about cleaning up each day and keeping us up to steam on the progress of the project. When the project was completed they provided photos of their work for our records. I am 101% pleased with Canyon State Roofing! Greg
