J & J Roofing

Michael Perry

Our new roof from J and J is gorgeous and the process was excellent. View of our house from the curb is mostly roof, and J & J guided us to a beautiful and durable total replacement for our 30+ year old roof, choosing not the cheapest, but definitely not the most expensive material: we picked Certainteed Presidential Solaris TL in Country Gray and the result is magnificent. The communication skills from J and J were exemplary. They have a very accessible-at-all-times boss, Matt, for big strategic questions; then a supervisor, in our case, Justin, who answers more specific questions and figured out the weird tiny details of putting a roof on our eccentric 76-year-old house; then a foreman, actually on the job site, Marco, who has the how-to knowledge and directs the crew. All the workers are employees, not contractors; and they have all the insurance policies, etc. (a lot of formerly local roofers have been bought up by private equity and hollowed out - but not J and J, who are still the real thing, owned locally for decades by brothers Matt and Mike Glass.) J and J had been doing repairs on our roof for 28 years (always a good job, at a low price) and last fall, this roof was obviously past its useful life. There were four layers on the old one, including shake at the bottom, that had to be torn off; then a new deck built; a waterproof layer; and finally, the new shingles. It was going to be a big job. Getting a roof is like getting a tattoo — you want to do it right and do it once, because a do-over would be painful and expensive. Over the six months before the new roof we probably exchanged fifty emails with Matt Glass, a process that was extraordinarily helpful. Matt gave us guidance to drive around Glendale, Pasadena and Los Angeles and look at sample roofs in every material, in every color; it was during this run-up that we got a modern roofing education, courtesy of Matt. We looked at cheaper, functional asphalt shingle roofs; midrange “architectural” shingles; simulated shake and simulated stone made out of concrete and rubber; and so on. We drive a Honda and a Mazda - good-looking cars that will last forever with few repairs, and we wanted to same for the roof. The overlap of durability, beauty and cost guided us to the Certainteed Presidential architectural shingles. Solaris is a “cool roof” legal requirement in the City of LA; and then we paid a little more for the TL (triple laminate) for looks and rock-solid durability. Tips for when you get a roof replacement: 1. look at and photograph as many sample roofs as you can, that helped us pick the perfect material. 2. demolition is the noisiest, messiest part but only lasts a day or two. Though everything was covered with plastic, roof dust still gets everywhere. Bring inside anything that you can. 3. coordinate with a termite guy - they can do their best work, quickly, when the roof is off! 4. On an old house there will be some small repairs from dry rot or just old wood - just let J & J do the fixes, they did fine job. They estimated eight days for demo, repair, deck construction, waterproof layer, four ventilation turbines and eight soffit vents, shingles, flashing, etc. and hit the mark exactly.

I have worked with J&J Roofing on multiple projects over the years and have consistently been impressed with their professionalism, workmanship, and reliability. As an interior designer, I regularly recommend contractors to my clients, so it's important that the companies I refer are trustworthy and deliver quality results. J&J Roofing has never disappointed. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and take the time to explain the scope of work and available options clearly. Their crews are punctual, respectful of the property, and maintain a clean and organized job site throughout the project. Most importantly, the quality of their roofing work has been excellent, giving both my clients and me confidence that the job has been done right. I would not hesitate to recommend J&J Roofing to homeowners or fellow professionals looking for a roofing company that values quality, integrity, and customer service.

J&J Roofing came to me highly recommended by a close friend. They know their stuff, are well established; licensed and insured. They did a replacement on my roof in 2 days. Gave me options and answered all my questions. Their pricing was competitive (compared to other quotes I received), as were their payment terms. They have a brick and mortar head office (not working out of a pick-up); and their Director of Operations, Justin Mack, who, working in a customer relations capacity with me, I found to be very helpful; courteous; knowledgeable and quick to respond. In turn. I would heartily recommend J&J Roofing.

4/24/2026 J & J Roofing installed my roof about 6 to 7 years ago. It has been completely trouble free. No leaks, no issues. Still, seven years in the sun is a long time, so I called them for a “Roof Check Up.” Alex came out, moved across the roof like a spider on a web, found a handful of non-serious issues, and fixed them on the spot as part of the checkup. I had a lot of questions about the condition of my roof and roofing in general. Alex could not have been more obliging. I know he is time constrained during a visit, but he clearly and succinctly addressed every question. It does not get any better than that. Thank you, Alex. As an aside, I also asked him to touch up the chimney flashing, the vertical metal piece where the chimney brick meets the roof tiles. Mine was structurally fine but looked ugly. He painted it, and it looks great now. Before calling J & J, I contacted a chimney company that wanted to replace the flashing entirely. Their price – hold your hat! $2900! My hat is off to J & J for their reasonable pricing. Overall: I have confidence in this company and the people that installed\service my roof. Recommended.

J&J have been our roofers for over 15 years (both at home and at work) and has always done a great job right when they said they would. We recently sold our home and had them do some repairs at the last second (on a holiday weekend) to make sure we finished the work before sale closed. Can't thank Mike and Justin enough for getting things scheduled under duress and Carlos, Abel, Alfredo, and Menji for great work on a Saturday. I cannot recommend this company enough.
