The company’s work is excellent, but maybe just as important the people are responsible, savvy and friendly. They are local and have been in business for years so they can be relied on, especially in those times when rain is pouring into your house and you need help quickly. John always responds promptly no matter how busy he gets. The last roof they put on our home a few years ago still looks like new and functions perfectly. This in spite of the fact we sit under some large redwoods that are constantly dropping debris on the roof. Finding roofing contractors who are solid honest skilled business people is difficult if not impossible. Font Roofing is a unique exception and a great asset to our community.

If you are going to have anything done to your roof, this is the company to call!  Palo Alto Roofing did a great job fixing a leak in our roof back and 2010 and after this last storm, we noticed another leak.  Super professional company with great warranties and fully insured, so we called John Font (the owner) on a Saturday and he came in less than an hour to look at our roof.  The leak was unrelated to our previous problem and get this…he fixed it for us at no charge!  This guy knows his stuff and explained the leak was due to something about a clogged gutter and a sidewall (the way he explained it was way more technical and informative… all I really heard was, “I found the problem and went ahead and fixed it, no charge).  Dependable, professional and highly recommended!

We had a leak in our bathroom ceiling that really got bad during the last storm.  I called several different contractors but only two had availability to come out and take a look.  The other contractor still hasn’t gotten back to me with a quote and was trying to push for me to replace my entire roof. PA Roofing came out within hours, took a look and gave me an estimate. They were able to fit me into their schedule within two working days of the original estimate.  The crew was professional, courteous, super quick and left no sign they were even here (other than my repaired roof). John Font (owner) had also suggested some venting to avoid future condensation issues which was also completed at the same time my roof was repaired. I could not be more pleased, as I feel the quality of the work, the timely manner in which the job was completed and the professional friendly manner was AWESOME! I also felt the pricing was really good as I was quite worried about how much the cost would run.  I will make sure to recommend John Font and Palo Alto Roofing to everyone and anyone who needs any sort of roof repair. It’s really refreshing to find an ‘honest’ contractor who isn’t trying to rip you off.  Thank you John, Nancy and crew – you are ROCK STARS!!!!!!

I used Palo Alto Roofing for some repairs on our home. He and his men were quick and thorough. They did an excellent job without trying to sell me more work which was not necessary. John came over and explained what the damage was and he explained that some damage may not be visible until they took some shingled off. When more damage was found, his crew came up with a professional repair suggestion at a reasonable cost. They finished the job quick. I will be using them again in the future.

Excellent job.
Highly professional crew.
Timely and dependable.
Good final cleanup.
Superb final product.
Looks great.
Would use again.

John Font and/or his team have been to my property four times over the last 20 years and I have been very happy with his services. First, he was called during the rainy season (remember those?) for repairs on an old roof and he came right away, performing some of the repairs during the rainstorm itself. A few years later we replaced our entire roof and he and his team did an outstanding job – excellent workmanship, professional and courteous workers, complete cleanup, etc. The next winter we had some leaky windows, and even though they were unrelated to his roofing job, John made multiple visits to ensure that all of the caulking was patched correctly. Finally, this year a strong windstorm blew away some shingles on our detached garage (which was not part of his original work). I called him, he came the next morning, and the repair was affected a couple of days later, all to my satisfaction.

johnny is fantastic, professional, fair and easy to work with. has the customers best interests in mind

Had a leak on an older flat roof, John had it replaced in a few days with a wonderful new 50 yr PVC roof.  Looks great and will be my last roof in that location.  Had them back a few months later to add some venting to another roof.  Completed on schedule at the quoted price.  Would recommend to friends.

Great Job! Johnny fit us in quickly, was very responsive, and took care of every last detail for us!  Thank you!

I used them (John Font/PA Roofing) in 1999 for some repairs, and now for an entire new roof. Clean, fast, good price and excellent work.

My name is Christen, and I have used this company before. I only have great things to say! They were on time, and did great work under budget. I plan on using them again in the near future.

I’ve used Palo Alto Roofing for over 15 years.
More than once I’ve called him in the middle of a downpour (usually the first of the season) and have been able to schedule an appointment at short notice to take care of a leaky roof while it was raining.
John has always done a good job and handled himself with professionalism and cheerfulness.  He conducts himself as a member of the community with the attitude of a helpful neighbor.  His fees are reasonable.  He gives honest appraisals of work that needs to be done and offers tips on how to minimize the cost, including DIY tips on regular maintenance.

I highly recommend Palo Alto Roofing Company.  John Font put a new roof on my home many years ago and did an outstanding job.  I recently called him for an estimate for a leakage.  He responded promptly the same day.  He quickly repaired the leakage issue and moreso did not charge me for the work done even though my warranty had expired.  It is rewarding to have work done by a professional with a keen ability to identify the problem and resolve it adeptly. Do not hesitate to hire him for your roof work.  You will be working with an expert who excels in attentive customer service.  By the way, the roof he put on many years ago is of excellent quality.  I have referred hime to my friends because of the quality of the work.

We were in need of an urgent repair of our gutter and Johnny and his team were quick to respond.  Johnny answered his phone on the first call and sent his crew to our place to assess the problem and then walked us through the fix.  Johnny really tries to do the best for his customers and goes out of his way to even save us money.   His team was also great — very friendly and professional.  We were really that happy that we called him.  Thanks Johnny for all your help!

Palo Alto Roofing has always been an outstanding roofing company to work with.  They have always been prompt and honest in all of my encounters with them.  I I have referred John over the years and to the homeowners I’ve dealt with afterwards have had nothing but great things to say.
John has also provided me with insights on newer materials (PVC) with a traditional approach to running his business.
Nothing but great experiences, he is friendly, trustworthy and really listens to what my needs are.
Highly recommend him!!!!!

Johnny and his team did a great job. I called during a break in the big storm and he was able to get his team out the next morning to repair my roof and clear my gutters and downspouts. He had a three-man team come first thing in the morning and they were finished by noon! Johnny has been wonderful to work with. The whole process has been very easy,  fast, and most importantly he did a great job! Looking forward to using him and his team again.

I used him for my roof repairs on my own house before installing solar panels. As a Realtor®, I often refer him out and get reports that people have been happy with his work.
