What San Diego Homeowners Are Saying...

Don't just take our word for it.
See what our satisfied customers have to say about our roofing services.

When my mom passed away, it was emotional even to touch her home. I knew the roof was very old and had started to leak during heavy rains, so I wanted to make sure it was replaced before winter. After getting several quotes, Alma Roofing immediately stood out. Their proposal was detailed, professional, and reflected true expertise—not just a quick estimate. From the beginning, Yuval, the owner, was responsive and kind. He answered all my questions promptly and made a complicated process feel simple, even with the added layer of probate paperwork. He provided clear documentation of the roof’s condition and even discovered issues like a cracked chimney cap, which his team replaced to maintain the home’s integrity. The crew was outstanding—arriving early every day, working efficiently, and leaving the property spotless each evening. Choosing roof tiles was easy thanks to the many options and real examples Yuval shared from other projects....

I'm so glad I chose Alma Roofing. I had just purchased my first house as a single mom so the investment was big decision because I wanted to help ensure my kids' safety and comfort as well as long-term value of the home. Yuval (owner) was very knowledgeable, kind, and professional. The project ended up revealing some wood that needed replacement which he notified me of immediately and did what he could to work with my budget while still ensuring the integrity of the roof. The crew was able to complete the project in 4 days and I'm very happy with the experience. They even sent someone over to help clean up after to ensure the house was left the same or better. Thank you, Yuval and Alma Roofing team!
