About The Owner
"I began roofing in 1979. After four years, I joined the union (local 40) where they put me in school. Thats right – roofing school. I'll be darned if I didn't learn a thing or two. Most of the companies I've worked for over the years just wanted fast... And they would say, 'You can't see it from the ground. Don't worry about it!' I also spent many winters doing leak repair for some of those same companies. My philosophy is, if I'm climbing a mountain and my ropes 'n knots are not straight, clean, and tight; I'm risking my life. And if I'm roofing your house, I'm making sure the felt is lapped properly, the metal flashings are tight and straight, and the nails on each shingle are driven not just to code; but to my standards. I'm not risking a leak, I'm doing it right. It's not just your home. It's my reputation."

Why customers choose us:
“I own a home in San Mateo that developed a leak with the first rain this year. I was referred to Above All Roofing Services by one of my employees that was highly complementary about the roof you put on her house. Within a day of my call I had scheduled an appointment for a bid and within three weeks of that work started. The roof looks beautiful and we even had a neighbor ask us who did the work so when they do theirs they can reach out to Above All Roofing Services". - Dorian
“Above All Roofing Services provides friendly, reliable, honest, roofing work. They fixed my roof where NUMEROUS others failed. YAY for Above All!!! If you need roofing, you need Above All Roofing Services!”
“Thank you so much for the wonderful job you and your men did in putting on a new roof for me. I love the finished project, it looks great, really improving the appearance of my home. Not to mention, I won’t have to worry about any leaks when it rains. Your crew was great, they did a professional job, cleaned up every day after a long days work, and left my house in great shape when the job was completed. I will recommend Above All Roofing Services to anyone that needs to have a roof repaired or replaced.” - Joyce J.
“Emile was able to come out on the same day I called to inspect my roof for a leak. Thorough, took photos, got up on my roof in the rain and gave me suggestions for what needed to be done, not necessarily just selling me the most expensive product (full new roof, which I am well aware I need at this point). I would recommend Above All Roofing services for your roofing estimate or repair.”
Above All Roofing Services is appropriately named. This company is definitely "above it all" in quality and customer service. I got two other estimates, one ridiculously low and the other a tad higher. But I chose this company for several reasons in addition to the fact that I knew the job was reasonably priced: (1) Emile provided a clear description of what was needed and why the old roof was in such terrible shape (lack of venting). (2) When he asked where I lived, he said that replacing the roofs on an apartment complex down the road from my home had been his "bread and butter" for five years. (3) I knew his great sense of humor would help see me, usually a panicky person, through the process. The end result was a beautiful new roof that we are confident will protect us from leaky ceilings this winter and long after we are gone. My sense is that his employees like him and trust him, and he respects them and treats them well, too. Above All Roofing Services is a very well managed company. - Karen R.
“Solid roofs, great service. Emile has been doing my work for 15+ years”
“Emile is the only roofer of a dozen I called mid-rainstorm who responded promptly and who also came to visit ASAP to inspect a significant roof leak in my home. My home's leak is an ongoing and unfortunately very complicated problem at the nexus of several different roof planes, and Emile was forthcoming about its complexity and honest in his assessment of the situation and the need for additional resources (e.g. a builder/contractor) to be called in to help as well. He also noticed another problem with a downspout and fixed it in the pouring rain at no cost to me. His explanations were thorough, and I recommend him highly, especially for his just-right mix of skill, professionalism, and compassion during a stressful time. Thanks Emile!” -Roxane W
“Emile and Above all Roofing is our go-to team. They did a great job on our roof over 2 years ago now. After bidding out our roofing job, we chose Emile for his comparable price, quality of work, and details that were required on our roof. We never looked back - they did a great job, even with some of the issues that came up as a result of our older roof. Fast forward 2 years, we had a leak last year on a separate tar and gravel roof. Emile came out, did a quick inspection and patched up problem. Again, this is the kind of company that will be your go to as they prove themselves over and over again with quality of work, response, and overall care for the families they help.”
“I called Above All Roofing Services to obtain a quote for re-roofing a portion of my house and back gazebos with wood shingles. Emile arrived with his crew on time. He was very friendly but professional. Their quote was the most reasonable and after reading their great Yelp reviews, I decided to use them. They did a beautiful job on my roof and gazebos. All of his crew were very polite; they made suggestions for future improvements without being pushy. Emile came to the job site daily and worked along side his crew to make sure the job was completed on time. They helped me with a couple of other household projects and coordinated some work for gutter repair. They also cleaned my roof and gutters for a very reasonable price. They were here a couple of months later to fix another part of the roof and re-cleaned the areas of the roof that needed it again...for no additional charge. I cannot recommend Emile enough. His office staff, especially Pam is wonderful. She is responsive, organized, professional and friendly. I would be so lucky if all contractors were this amazing. I highly recommend Above All Roofing Services.” - Ellen L.
