EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Posted on Eric OakleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prompt excellent service by friendly workers who stayed late in the day to get the job done properly. I cannot recommend them more highly!Posted on Busy GalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From our first call, until the follow up call, Hopestar Roofing LLC did the job, did it well, and were professionals who exceeded all my expectations. My initial call was returned within minutes! Richard went to my house and provided me an estimate in less than 24- hours! We discussed the pros and cons of a new roof vs a repair. Richard was available for a full re-roofing job within a couple days but kindly waited a few days until I was off work, as I have a home based business. Richard explained why insurance couldn't cover the project. He never talked down to me as a woman. He provided options and patiently answered my many questions. His team came early and worked amazingly hard for quick completion. My gutters were cleaned, my pool protected, and my new roof installed perfectly! The clean up job was amazing! You couldn't tell that the day before my roof was stripped and then replaced! Richard and his team made this one of the easiest and best projects I've ever had a a home owner! All this, at a reasonable price! I'd definitely use Richard and Hopestar again if needed. I also highly recommend Hopestar! Thank you Richard!Posted on Lisa RedwineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best roofing company I have ever worked with. Did a great job, quickly and it looks so good. What wonderful people. Very impressed!Posted on Jeffrey PoindexterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They are GREAT. I was a bit skeptical at first, because I could only find 15 or so reviews online. (They were all great reviews though). I asked Richard about it and he told me he was in the business for years, but had opened Hopestar to help more people. He's a straight shooter and the crew did a great job from arrival thru clean up. Leaving us with a beautiful and secure roof. I have already recommended Richard and Hopestar to my family, friends, and neighbors that are shopping for roof replacement.Posted on Frederic LucasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Hopestar Roofing and owner Richard Kerr with his crew! Outstanding work, really!. I had to repair both trims on my 28' high chimney. They replaced both trims 2x6 after they placed some house wrap along the height and all with a perfect clearance between trim and siding J Hardie that they had to cut and adjust to fit the trims perfectly for final Caulking. They went beyond what was expected by correcting what was the cause of the initial leak, e.g and deterioration of the trims: some siding were too long compared to others: The result was simply great and fairly priced!.Posted on Heather HiltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After getting harassed and overpriced by so many roofing companies, I was expecting the same from Hopestar. To my amazement, Andrew and Richard were quite different. They were very polite and informative without all the "sign now" pressure. Their prices are reasonable, they worked with my schedule and were a pleasure to deal with. The roof? They did my home and my storage building. The work quality is top notch. Both were finished in one day! They even cleaned out my gutters!!! Not a nail in sight! I highly recommend them and will be sending anyone that asks about my gorgeous new roof their way! 10/10Posted on Daniel McColginTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard is an extremely great man to work with, very understanding and willing to go above and beyond for the customer. It was pretty much a no brainer from the first call that this was the company to go with in order to get the job done right, and from the beginning the professionalism in helping get the project moving, to the punctuality and attention to detail in completing to job to the highest standards was an unreal experience, I would HIGHLY Recommend hopestar to those of you who not only want a beautiful new roof but a delightful experience as well this company sets the standard and delivers. It was a true breath of fresh air in an industry polluted with thieves trying to rip you off and do as little as possible to see there’s at least some good and honest people left that truly want to help you see your vision become a reality+Posted on Casey BennettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team was professional, fast, and did an excellent job. Communication was fantastic from the start and they made the entire process of having my roof replaced easy and stress freePosted on Vickie PhillipsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Hopestar Roofing and owner Richard Kerr! From start to finish, the roof replacement was outstanding. Richard provided a very reasonable price with no hidden or surprise costs, and his communication was excellent throughout the project with timely updates and pictures. The crew worked quickly and efficiently with a fast turnaround, respected my property, caused no shrubbery damage, and left everything spotless with all debris removed. The combination of professionalism, fair pricing, and quality workmanship makes Hopestar Roofing a company I would absolutely use again. Richard Kerr and his team exceeded expectations!Posted on Andrew PalkaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish Hopestar Roofing was great from addressing all of my concerns promptly to getting me scheduled and the work completed just three days later. The company that previously installed my roof, failed to vent my attic properly and never cut off enough plywood on each side for the ridge vents to work effectively. Found this out after bacterial growth started popping up around our light fixtures. Hopestar Roofing (worked with Richard) came in promptly and fixed the previous roofing companies mistakes. And they clean up after themselves and blew my roof off. I definitely recommend (Hopestar Roofing) them and will use them for our roofing needs going forward!
