Started by looking for contractors that replace Eichler siding... I had used
Abril in the past and had friends that were happy with the foam roofing
but I wasn't aware they also did siding repair and replacement. Rich came by several days after my request and examined the dry rot needing repair.
I asked him to take a look at the roof since we had a small leak around a skylight. The foam roof had not be touched in 20 years! Needless to say it was in need of a re coat and repair .... Rich gave me a very reasonable quote.... The job is finished and we are completely satisfied. They did a

I recently hired Abril roofing for a re-coat on my foam roof. Rick Abril came by, took a look at it and told me that it would last another 1~2 years before it really needed a re-coat, but I decided to get it done now as it would mostly likely cost more in a couple of years.
Rick's team arrived on the date scheduled, did a very professional job, and cleaned my yard and my neighbors on either side each day they completed the work. After 2 days, they were done (as they committed).
The team were professional, and on time, and completed the work as schedule with no hassles. The only minor

For a second we have used Abril Roofing - this time to provide a complete waterproof cover for the atrium on our Eichler. As before working with Rick and Dave was easy and the quality of the work their staff performed was exceptional. And absolutely delighted with how quickly they were able to schedule the work

During the August 2020 epic lightning storm, the fierce winds peeled off approximately 30% of the twenty year old tar-paper roof of my 1957 Walnut Creek mid-century home right off the plywood (pictures below). I decided then that it was time to bite the bullet and invest in a full foam roof for the entire 2,400 sq/ft house, rather than just patch the damage. As someone who is normally very cautious of being taken advantage of by contractors, I decided to do a LOT more due diligence and expert shopping if I was going to drop $20,000+ for a roof that I wasn't expecting to replace a week earlier

Long overdue review, I called Abril to ask for an inspection and possible replacement of downspouts.
Rick Abril came over and said the downspouts looked in fine shape and suggested that if I did want to replace any to use a handyman, way cheaper that a roofing company. Good to know. Then......
Rick actually took off the worst offending downspout (noisy) and cleared it out and replaced it.
Of course I offered to pay him and he declined. Above and beyond good customer service. And... he was in nice clean "salesman" clothes :/
Thanks Rick, you are the best, Abby, Bamboo Terrace, Terra

It is really hard for me to write this review, since I need these guys to stay in business, to validate the roof warranty. I have an Eichler home in Marin County, and went with Abril because they seem to be one of the few that do many foam roofs on Eichlers. That being said, they gave me an impressive stack of "references" but once I started calling the numbers, many of them were outdated or the customers actually had TERRIBLE things to say. I had already pulled the roof permit and tried to cancel the day before my appointment, but Rick reassured me that they were "the best." They also reassured

Just as other reviewers stated, Abril Roofing takes pride in Pooooor... Customer Service. Rick and his team DO NOT stand behind their warranties. They are rude and wants to charge me for work that should have been under warranty. I reported air bubles and uneven drainage 7 months(after first rain) after recoating the roof only to be told it's not covered under the warranty. It took several complaints before they come out to fix the many air bubbles that have developed. However, the guys refused to address the drainage issue and no one responded to the message I left at the office

Worst customer service- rude, and arrogant.
I had Abril roofing fix few roof leaks. 2 days later, I noticed a leak in one of the spots that were supposed be fixed. I called Abril roofing only to experience, worst service from the lady who answered the phone.
She outright denied it was from the work done 2 days ago, and asked me to pay another 475$ for the visit. This is the response from someone who was not onsite. Go figure.
However, she was very polite and friendly when I called the first time to schedule fixes. When I called to report a problem with the job, she attitude was rude and denial

I am a realtor, and was in a panic to have a very last minute inspection on a home my clients were set to close on. Rick got out there the very next day and wrote up a report for us. We then had another emergency with the lender requesting repairs, and again, Abril came out quickly to do the job. They are foam roof experts, and they did an amazing job. We need more companies like this out there! I highly recommend Rick and his team, and they will be my go-to roofers from now on. Thank you, thank you!

Brand new roof installed on a house while I was in escrow, I'm 1.5 months in and it's leaking in 3 different places, last night I was told that someone would be here by 11, it's now after 1 PM and NOBODY IS PICKING UP THE PHONE. Both customer service and build quality seem to be incredibly poor, I'm very disappointed that I'm sitting here with a brand new leaking roof with basically NO RESPONSE.
UPDATE: They finally picked up the phone at 2:30 (on the main line, never answered once on either of their supposed "emergency" numbers), told me that there was a dispatch

Richard and David Abril go above and beyond to satisfy their customers. I've used Abril roofing many times in the past but this time my roof was exposed and needed repair urgently. David worked closely to fit me into the schedule before the raining season. The are honest, fairly priced and have a good crew. Highly recommend Abril Roofing.
