The Verdict

We analyzed dozens of reviews for Bellator Roofing and found a pattern that should concern any homeowner: customers paid in full, then received mechanics liens because the company allegedly didn't pay its suppliers. One homeowner paid $17,000 for a roof replacement, received city approval, then got hit with a $5,051 lien from the materials supplier when the contractor went silent. Another described the same scenario with identical details: paid Allan in full, work approved, supplier lien arrived weeks later, contractor stopped responding to calls and texts. The workmanship itself earned praise from 44 reviewers, and crews handled tricky jobs like terracotta tile restorations and historic homes with care. But the financial risk here overshadows any craftsmanship skill. When a contractor ghosts customers after cashing checks and leaves them facing double payment for materials already installed on their roof, that's not a communication problem. If you're weighing Bellator against other bids, keep looking.

If you hire this company, you may end up paying twice: once to the contractor, again to the supplier when a lien shows up months later. The pattern is clear enough that we can't recommend the risk.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Priscilla F.
YelpOct 14, 2023

Priscilla F. paid $17,000 to have her roof replaced and, after the city signed off on the job, believed the project was complete. She then discovered a Claim of Mechanics Lien demanding $5,051.71 from Rooline Inc., alleging Bellator Roofing hadn’t paid the supplier for materials. Allan had been helpful during the contractor selection and Priscilla paid him in full, and he had promised to file the Owens Corning extended warranty as a “Platinum Preferred Contractor.” She contacted Allan by phone, text and email but received no response, so she reached out to Owens Corning and learned the contractor must trigger the warranty on their end. With a lien threat looming, she is hiring an attorney to resolve the unpaid-supplier claim. Multiple other homeowners appear to be in the same position, and the striking details here are the unexpected $5,051.71 bill and the promised extended warranty that remains unfiled while the contractor is unreachable.

Priscilla F.

Priscilla F. hired Bellator Roofing for a full roof replacement on her California home and paid $17,000 up front. Allan guided her through selecting the company, secured the city approval, and the job finished — everything looked fine until a Claim of Mechanics Lien arrived. She received a $5,051.71 bill from Rooline Inc., alleging Bellator hadn’t paid the supplier for materials, which would put a lien on her house if left unpaid. Priscilla called, texted and emailed Allan repeatedly and found no response. She reached out to Owens Corning about the extended warranty Allan had promised as a Platinum Preferred Contractor; Owens Corning explained the contractor must complete and pay for the registration, which likely explains why the warranty was never filed. Alarmed, she notified Owens Corning and began hiring an attorney to sort out the lien and her legal exposure. She discovered she isn’t alone — other homeowners report similar unpaid-supplier liens and silence from Allan/Bellator. The concrete takeaways: she paid $17,000 in full, now faces a $5,051.71 claim on her home, and the promised Owens Corning warranty remains unregistered while the contractor has gone quiet.

Jade L.
YelpNov 14, 2023

Jade L. hired the company for a full roof replacement on an older house and found a clear split between a capable field crew and a defensive management team. She discovered the installers worked cleanly and the lead crewman stayed communicative and thorough, but the crew lacked a portable power source, so she had to arrange to be home to supply outlets for their tools. During the job a crew member fell and punched a hole in the ceiling; the worker was okay, and a crew returned the next day to make the repair and handled that follow-up professionally. What soured the relationship was how the owner and managers reacted. Instead of acknowledging the accident and discussing additional precautions for working on an aging roof, management blamed the damage on rotted wood in the house — a condition the contract already listed as a possible change order. She expected assessment, accountability, and a conversation about extra safety steps when known risks existed; instead the owner doubled down, deflected responsibility, and gave the impression of not knowing how to protect workers or manage projects on older homes. The billing and final walkthrough added to the frustration. The company

What You Can Expect

Hasna N.
YelpJul 8, 2023

Hasna N. hired Allan and his company Bellator to reroof her home in June 2022 after a solar contractor subcontracted the work. Within months she discovered water leaking around the roof flashings and interior water damage; Allan refused to honor the new-roof warranty and has been deflecting responsibility back to the solar company. She says Allan reused the old flashings instead of installing new ones, which she connects to the ongoing leaks, and neither Bellator nor the solar company will return to make repairs. Worried about mold from prolonged water intrusion, she accuses Allan of dishonesty and of trying to charge more to fix workmanship problems on a roof that is less than a year old. Her demand is simple and specific: Allan needs to come out, replace the flashings he reused, and repair the interior water damage so the leaks — and the mold risk — are addressed.

Jon B.
YelpMay 20, 2023

Jon B. knows roofs—he'd installed four himself—and when he watched Bellator's crew replace his roof he came away impressed by the quality of materials and the care in the details from start to finish. He arranged to have a Bellator solar system installed at the same time, and the roof and solar work moved together seamlessly instead of feeling like two separate jobs. He found Tim easy and pleasant to work with throughout the process. What lingered for him was the clear craftsmanship and the smooth coordination between the roof and solar installs.

Jeff L.
YelpNov 14, 2023

Jeff L. paid in full for a roof replacement and then, weeks later, discovered a lien on his house. After weeks of silence from the company he finally spoke with Alan, the owner, and consulted an attorney — who pointed out that legal fees would exceed the cost to clear the lien — so he ended up paying it. He came away with a simple, costly lesson about dealing with contractors in the future.
