The Verdict

Nolanco Roofing earns steady praise for workmanship but stumbles when things go wrong. One homeowner watched her roofer nearly fall off the house when she startled him mid-job. He regained his balance, she learned to clap for attention, and the roof itself turned out flawless. That mix of minor mishaps and solid final product runs through the positive reviews. We found 41 comments applauding Jeremiah and his crew for thorough inspections, careful wood replacement, and roofs that hold up years later. One customer reported zero leaks after three years of San Diego storms, another hired them twice for different buildings. The company photographs your roof as work progresses and itemizes estimates so you see exactly what you're paying for. But 11 reviews tell a different story. In one case a repair stopped a leak for 10 hours, then the company refused follow-up service while demanding payment. Another contractor reported being called a "dumb ass" by text after requesting warranty work. When Nolanco shows up and the job goes smoothly, the roof performs. When communication breaks down or a repair fails, expect friction.

If you're comfortable locking in a detailed contract and don't anticipate needing much back-and-forth after the crew leaves, the workmanship record justifies a quote. If you foresee warranty calls or change orders, the pattern of combative responses should give you pause.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Sarahrose P.
YelpMar 12, 2019

Sarahrose P. hired the company to repair her roof and discovered the leak kept coming back immediately after the work. She called for the crew to return and re-fix the same spot, but the team refused to come back, stopped responding to service requests, and still demanded payment for the original repair. She watched a temporary stop last only about ten hours and ended up with a roof that still leaked while the company insisted on being paid for work it wouldn’t properly complete. The experience left her frustrated by rude, unprofessional treatment and a clear takeaway for buyers: expect persistent follow-up to be ignored even as the company presses for payment.

Unfair
Robert G.
YelpMar 8, 2025

Robert hired Jeremiah to replace shingles on a small roof and began with a clear, affordable quote. He planned to leave a tip but found Jeremiah asking for extra money after the price had already been agreed — an early sign the job might not go smoothly. After several delays Jeremiah finished just before a rainstorm, and the roof leaked. Rather than return to fix the faulty work, Jeremiah prioritized getting new tires for his truck. He avoided phone calls and replied only by text, where he called Robert a "dumb ass" and a "little b**ch." A licensed contractor for 53 years, he had never been treated that way by customers or fellow tradespeople. Having read other reviews, he thought the outburst might not be routine, but he walked away convinced Jeremiah has anger issues. The detail that lingered: a leaking roof after the storm and a contractor who chose tires and insults over making the repair right.

Donna S. first called Nolanco Roofing last year to replace a very old, flat roof on her California Room and discovered Jeremiah to be pleasant, dependable and refreshingly honest — the little room’s roof looked wonderful and the price felt reasonable. When the rest of her house made it clear the main roof was failing, she turned to them again. Jeremiah sent Thomas promptly to measure and produce an estimate that matched her expectations, and because she trusted them she didn’t seek other bids. A previous customer’s reschedule opened a slot, so the crew arrived right away, stripped the old roof efficiently and left the yard clean. Jeremiah demonstrated his straightforward approach by pointing out that, unusually, none of the roof boards needed replacement and the rough-looking fascia only required paint after inspection — he didn’t push extra work. The final invoice matched the estimate. Alex, the roofer, installed the new roof with care. Donna has already referred her sister, who will need extensive board replacement for termite damage; Donna expects a higher bill there but trusts Nolanco to charge fairly for the actual repairs. One memorable, practical takeaway: clap to get—

What You Can Expect

Katharine P.
YelpMay 28, 2022

Katharine turned to Nolanco Roofing to replace her red tile roof after a flat-roof repair they did in September 2017—an 80 mil TPO membrane—that never gave her a day of trouble. From the first visit the crew inspected and photographed her roof so she could see the issues for herself, then laid out a clear, fair cost breakdown. When termite damage showed up, Nolan repaired the rotten wood quickly and quoted the rate‑sheet price up front. Jeremiah Nolan, the owner, stayed on site from start to finish, answering questions and handling concerns as the team worked; the whole job wrapped up in one week. Longtime estimator Tom handled the estimate with a friendly, experienced touch. The crew worked efficiently and respectfully: they staged materials to one side, put tarps under their vehicles without being asked, and performed daily cleanup—blowing away roof dust and even removing dried termite droppings from walkways and the backyard. What lingered most with her was the owner’s constant presence and the crew’s meticulous onsite care: thorough protection, fast repairs, and spotless daily cleanup.

Bob F.
YelpJan 24, 2019

Bob F. hired Nolanco Roofing to put a new roof on his Del Mar house and expected a straightforward job, but ended up genuinely impressed. As someone in the construction business, he watched pricing, timing, and workmanship closely and found the crew timely, professional, and true to the estimate. Owner Jeremiah stayed hands-on throughout the project, and Tom—Bob’s favorite—sometimes ran late because he kept going the extra mile for the previous customer; Bob appreciated that commitment and the way the team worked together. More than three years after the installation, a home inspector flagged what looked like unnecessary repairs during a sale; Tom returned, re-inspected the roof, and wrote a report that confirmed its good condition, which cleared up the issue. The memorable detail: they didn’t vanish after the job was done—Tom’s three-years-later inspection and written confirmation showed Nolanco stands behind their work.
