Chris was great! He spent the time to make sure the job was done correctly even if that meant taking additional time/visits. He even came back around after a couple days to check in and make sure everything cured well.
Communication was great. He sent updates with the repair the entire time he was working on the project along with additional photos.
Would definitely recommend if you have any roofing needs.

Cris was awesome to work with! He responded right away, scheduling was super easy, and he showed up right on time. He gave us an honest assessment and really took the time to explain what was going on with our roof leak. We’d had a few other roofers come out who wanted to do long, drawn-out inspections, but Cris spotted the issue quickly — like finding a needle in a haystack with the nails that were causing the problem. You can tell he knows his stuff and works hard. The price was fair, the repair was done quickly, and overall it was just a great experience. Really appreciate Cris and Ruf Roof Life!

He came right away, found the problem immediately, and repaired the roof all within 2 hours. The price was fair and he explained everything that was needed. Definitely will hire again and have already sent his info to our neighbors too.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are traditionally at most half the cost of roofing companies due to the facts that my overhead is low and I work alone. Most repairs I've done range in the $250-500 range. On repairs $500 or over I do ask for security deposit of half. That ensures a locked in appt, and secures materials needed for job.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a total of 28yrs. . in the roofing industry. I worked for 2 companies that were focused mainly on commercial businesses that is until the 04 hurricanes. At that juncture all companies got more involved in residential roof repairs because the out of state companies came to "help" did such poor work while gouging homeowners and the insurance companies. So, not only can I repair rubber ( TPO- Firestone) roofs. I also have the ability to repair; shingle, built up, single-ply,metal, tile, and slate roofs.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
While living in Tampa Fla. I worked for a company called Professional Craftsmen and Handyman. I had been in the construction field since 1984. We had the opportunity to make repairs to several residential roofs at the time. So that's how I was initially introduced. Then, when I moved here in 2002 I went straight to a roofing company. The first company i was with for 10yrs. Initially i learned to repair commercial properties ( TPO rubber- built up- torchdown) Then when the Hurricanes hit in 2004 I was responsible for going behind roofing companies and repairing their problems to residential homes. I have experience in all roof types ( shingles, torch down, single ply rubber, build up Rock roofs. and tile, slate ) the only thing I do not have any experience in repairs is wood shakes.
