Bumble Roofing

When I started to look for bids for my new roof, I found that many roofers use a P.0. box or their homes as a mailing address. Good luck in trying to find their location if you are looking for, or need them. After obtaining several estimates, I was fortunate to obtain a very competitive bid from Bumble Roofing.

Their offices and people were very professional, and the work was outstanding. They kept in constant contact with me during the installation, with messages and progress pictures, until the job was complete. They provided specific contact information for the scheduling person, the facilitator, the project and site managers, accounting, etc.

Upon completion, they cleaned the site, and power washed the driveway. As a professional property manager that has managed many properties across the country, I can honestly say that Bumble roofing is the best roofing company I have ever used.

The initial service in 2021 was great. The contracting process was smooth, everyone who we worked with, from Nathan to David was professional, and all the techs we interacted with were friendly.

And then it rained. Part of our roof was a lake. The part of our roof that wasn't a lake started leaking. Bumble came out to repair that damage (after trying to claim it was our fault first) and that started leaking too.

We are now having our house remediated for water damage and mold a SECOND time. Even if they were willing to honor their warranty (which they aren't), we are now actively considering replacing our roof completely because they did as little as they could get away with the first time (COVID probably had something to do with this) and our trust in their company is totally shot.

Edited to add: This is how they treat their customers when something goes wrong. The "vent" David is referring to is about 10 feet away from where the roof is leaking. Our contractor fixed that right away.

They did my roof maybe 3 years ago and I recently decided to replace my skylight because it's about to break and it was somewhat leaking.

Once we were in communication, they were able to schedule two people to come and install the skylight for us in two days. The actual work took about two hours and 20 mins approximately. We had the materials ourselves and they were flexible to just install them for us and just charge us the installation fee, which was also very fair.

The ppl who installed the skylight were also very on time which is a plus for me.

My old roof was over 40 years old. I had no leaks but it was weathered and looks as if it was falling apart little by little.

There are so many contractors but I whittled down to Bumble. Bumble had decent reviews, did not pressure me, very thorough in their presentation plus I liked the pic/video of Mr. Bitan.

The guys were excellent, they did not leave a mess and were focused on the job, to me safety is important, I am not interested in the "Run run run" mentality.

I was quite pleased on the results of my roof, no leaks nothing even with all the rains we have been experiencing. As a customer make sure they replace the cover on furnace vent or water heater vent lest there may be issues.

My roof is now "Snug as a bug in a rug" and I plan on getting the roof on my rental replaced before Summer. I do not want the guys roasting.

We used BumbleBee Roofing to replace out flat roof for our townhome community. They were the only guys who were able to pull off an affordable quote for us when many other vendors were quoting us at 2.5x the rate for the exact same materials AND additional services such as power wash, end of project clean up services, 10 year warranty, and annual maintenance/checks. If it wasn't for them, our community would have been screwed and unable to afford a new roof & would have had to do constant patch up work praying it would stop the leaks.

They have been understanding that our community is very small, struggling with raising funds, and nothing in our reserves.

Our community has a lot of tradesmen (not necessarily in roofing) so they were asking a lot of the tough questions that I had to pass along as the HOA President. They were very understanding that I was under a lot of pressure and worked with me to answer their questions., provided daily progress updates, pictures.

I want to give a shoutout to Christian, the first project manager who coordinated all the pre-inspections, he somehow managed to get all units to participate in the same day rather it being a 3 day ordeal. I want to give a shoutout to Mike who has been available day & night for my questions from the community & communicating with the head office about our concerns & for doing daily walkthroughs.

I also want to give a shoutout to Linda and Diana from head office who have been working together to provide progress updates, and explaining the technical aspects of the project as well as project timelines.

The roof looks good first so far but true test right will be getting our first round of rain and making sure we don't have any leaks!! So I'll come back here and provide an update for whenever that happens.

In the meantime, Jose kindly mentioned a referral program - if any of you guys like my review, please directly reply to me and I'll directly refer you to BumbleBee roofing. If you are my referral, they'll help make sure your community is taken care of, potentially provide discounts even.

Update - the company finally responded to my email after this post. They are claiming that it was my responsibility to protect the driveway per the contract. So be warned they will say they aren't responsible for negligence. The contract does not protect the business from negligence of bringing a 35,000 pound machine to load a pallet of roofing supplies. Even the contractor brought in for the initial fix said it was crazy for anyone to use a 35k lbs machine that caused the damage to load roofing materials for the job. Definitely stay away from this business if you want to avoid the hassle of a company who will blame the customer for their own negligent damages to property during the job.

Would not recommend this business. The roofing work was good but they damaged my driveway and have not fixed the full issue. It took almost a year before the work started because they were coordinating with a solar company to do a coordinated install of solar trusses on the roof before installing the roof - that was the first red flag and it was a disaster as the solar company was not responsive and took forever to do the permits. When January 1, 2023 rolled around they said "you won't believe this but we have to do the permits again because it is a new year" and I waited and waited. Finally coordinated with Bumble to just do the roof install in September 2023. That's how bad their scheduling is.

The folks doing the roof were great and courteous but when it came to the supplies there was a large skiff that was brought in to bring materials and leave it on the roof. It cracked my driveway with the most damage being done on the edge. See picture. The company immediately blamed their subcontractor and I pointed out that their own employees were making it worst by driving on and off over the damage. By then the crack had crumbled and gotten worst. Everything including the roofers were all caught on video. The subcontractor asked to pay me 2k cash and have me sign a release then let me pay the other person to fix it. I said no they need to work with the concrete person to fix it not me and that I would not sign anything until the issue was fixed. So another contractor came in and fixed about 10x13 of where the significant damage was but not the cracks throughout the driveway that were not crumbling. I gave the concrete contractor a good review as he was only focusing on the significant damage and I have been asking bumble for updates since November on when they will fix the rest of the drive way as I was not happy. I paid the balance in full and they have stopped responding to my repeated emails since December 1. I am still awaiting their reply and mitigation to this issue. Do not recommend using them if they cannot fix their own mistakes - if you are looking for someone to disappear and try to blame a subcontractor- bumble will bumble their way around the job and is your choice.

Updated review: I recently worked with Bumble Roofing again, as I needed to replace my HVAC unit, and they reroofed the area surrounding it. I'm very grateful for my experience, as each person I was in communication with (the individuals at the office, the foreman, the crew, the project manager, etc.,) was so kind, professional, conscientious, & hardworking. It truly was a pleasure interacting with everyone, and I'll definitely contact them again, should anything arise in the future.

Bumble Roofing is the best option. After doing research and obtain some estimates; I decided to go with Bumble Roofing. Excellent quality, service and affordable.
Jonathan and Linda Guidos are the the best. They explained me step by step throughout the course of the project. And always kept informed.
The workmanship was extremely well prepared to perform my roof replacement. I'm so glad I decided to go with Bumble Roofing. Excellent job by this company.

Great job on my roof and solar! Worked with me through any issues and finished 1 day faster than we expected. Very professional from my inquiry to finish! David explained everything in detail when I got a quote and worked with me in incorporating solar installation into my roof project. Even gave me an upgrade on my shingles to cool roof plus! Highly recommend

Horrible scam company! It starts with Al. The super salesman. $34,000 for the roof. Honestly looks like kids did the job. The finish product is horrible. They will not fix the poor work nor even respond to email or phone calls. Buyer beware!
