An excellent job done. We got three different quotes and the Roof Doctor beat the other two by a goodly amount of money. David Cha brought us an estimate and we picked out the roofing color. He was very polite and answered our questions. The crew roofed the Bremerton house in record time and cleaned up. It looks great. The Roof Doctor put roofing on another of our houses in Port Orchard some years ago. I would recommend them to all and I'm sure we will call on them again. Thanks from Terry & Judy Mortensen

A shout out for an excellent job Roof doctor folks!!! It was such a pleasure to do business with the Roof Doctor, Inc. From the first contact with Miss Lydia, at the office, to the final completion of our roof project under the direction of Garrett Driver(project manager) and his crew . I could not be happier! The crew was punctual, courteous, efficient, very well organized and focused on the task they completed in a very timely manner and went the extra mile leaving the place very clean.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!

We had to have a section of our roof replaced a few weeks ago. The office lady Jessica, was responsive and easy to work with. She knew our needs and quickly provided a repair crew that did a quality job in short order. It was an easy process and the work and cleanup was done quickly. I'm impressed.

Roof Doctor put on a new roof for us this past summer. The process was simple and the sale was the least fussy but still informative. Their price was one of the two most reasonable and included gutters. They removed an old chimney and replaced any boards (plywood, ship lap, beadboard) that need replacing. Also, they added vents to our roof, which has helped in keeping the upstairs cooler in this 1920's house. Work was complete in a day.

The Roof Doctor of Tacoma responded quickly with a re-roofing estimate & was quick to answer my many questions regarding product & service. They were also willing to fulfill specific requests I had. All this at a competitive cost. To my amazement the job was done in a day including clean-up. Would have never known they were there except for the beautiful food left behind. Many thanks to David & his crew.

The Roof Doctor crew cleaned and repaired my tile roof. The price is reasonable, the scheduling process smooth, and the workmanship superior. The workers began early in the morning, worked late into the day, and cleaned up all the debris. They were courteous and friendly, respectful of our property and did an excellent job. I highly recommend The Roof Doctor.

We called when our roof started leaking. When they started tearing off the roof, we realized the extent of the damage. They took photos and ALL the trusses were rotted and ALL of the plywood was rotted and had to be replaced. They did a great job and they completed it in ONE DAY. If I could give them a 10, I would.

Needed a roof replaced quickly in order to close on the sale of a home. They were out much faster than expected and had the job done before lunch!

I use The Roof Doctor for most, if not all of my roof and gutter cleanings on the properties I manage. Their office is efficient, has very reasonable and fair pricing, and does great work. They are great at getting me estimates for owner approval. Thank you for such great service!

We hired the Tacoma Roof Doctor to do our roof and we could not be happier!!! My husband is a perfectionist and these guys are too!
Chris Lutman was extremely knowledgeable and delivered on everything he promised in the quote. Tom Hall was the on-site foreman and he was super involved in making sure all the work was done correctly. They started at 7:30 and finished the entire project by 5:30 same day. The crew cleaned up the whole work site area and left our yard looking better than when they started. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!! Thanks Tacoma Roof Doctor!

I just had to give a shout out to the Roof Doctor. We didn't have the money to replace our roof until this year, and he helped keep us dry until we could. When he finally couldn't do much more, he was honest and very nice about it...frankly, I think we were tough customers and he did his best by us. Unlike the other reviewer, I found Roof Dr's prices very reasonable for the care, service and quality. Frankly, we found his prices competitive. And it's our primary residence, so we care about quality. I recommend him highly and hope he sees this review so he knows how much his work was appreciated!
