What El Cajon Homeowners Say

Solid 5.0★ from verified local homeowners

"Estate-grade craftsmanship. The copper flashing detail on our El Cajon chimney is something you rarely see anymore, and the ridge caps were hand-cut on site. If you own a home worth protecting, this is the roofer to call."

Lisa K.
Rios Canyon · Standing-seam metal reroof

"We manage several rental properties across El Cajon and California First has now reroofed three of them. Consistent quality, transparent pricing, and every crew leaves the property cleaner than they found it. Making them our exclusive roofer."

Elizabeth F.
Rios Canyon · Standing-seam metal reroof

"California First Roofing replaced our El Cajon roof and the crew was flawless from the drone estimate to the final cleanup. They understood exactly what our home near Fletcher Hills needed for extreme East County heat with wildfire risk. Fixed-price proposal, zero surprises, and the finished work looks better than the day the house was built."

Michael K.
Rios Canyon · Clay tile lift & relay

"We interviewed four roofers for our El Cajon home and California First was the only one who addressed extreme East County heat with wildfire risk head-on. Stainless fasteners, upgraded synthetic underlayment, and hidden flashing detail throughout. Solid 5-star experience — my neighbors have already asked for their number."
