What Kensington Homeowners Say
"From the first walkthrough to the final inspection, California First Roofing treated our Adams Avenue home like it was their own. The lift-and-relay preserved our original tile perfectly and the new underlayment should easily outlast us. Highest recommendation for anyone in Kensington."
"Called them after a competitor botched our Kensington reroof. California First tore out the failed work, re-detailed every valley and wall flashing, and gave us a real 25-year workmanship warranty in writing. Professional, punctual, and genuinely honest — a rare combination in this trade."
"Our insurance claim after the last storm was complicated and California First handled the entire process. Adjuster met them on the roof, scope was approved without a fight, and the new system went on in three days. Our Kensington home has never looked or performed better."
"Estate-grade craftsmanship. The copper flashing detail on our Kensington 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."
