The Verdict

Sequoia Roofing is a safe bet if you want a crew that shows up on time and leaves your yard cleaner than they found it. We found 51 reviews praising their fair pricing and 74 that called out solid workmanship, most pointing to project leads Mike and Rudy by name. One Cardiff homeowner watched five installers tear off his entire roof in a day, then finish the replacement in four more, all while coordinating around an upcoming solar installation. When stucco got damaged during the job, Mike didn't deflect—he brought in a separate contractor to fix it and checked in daily until the house looked pristine again. Another customer bought a roof warranty from Sequoia even though they'd only repaired part of the roof, and when a leak appeared months later in a section Sequoia hadn't touched, the crew showed up the next day and fixed it at no cost. The catch: four reviewers waited months for callbacks that never came, and one repair estimate promised for July didn't materialize until the homeowner hired someone else in October. If you're comparing bids and Sequoia goes radio silent, move on. But if they answer the phone, you're likely getting a crew that works fast, cleans up daily, and doesn't nickel-and-dime you when something goes wrong.

If you need a roofer who'll coordinate with your solar installer and won't ghost you mid-repair, Sequoia is worth the call. Just confirm a start date in writing before you commit.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Jeff P.
YelpOct 16, 2023

Jeff requested a small roof repair in early March and was told the company was so backed up they wouldn’t be able to get to it until early July. He checked in mid‑June and was told “a few more weeks,” checked again in July and got the same line, and more follow‑up calls produced nothing but repeated delays and excuses. Frustrated, he hired a different contractor who completed the job in three weeks. Meanwhile Jeff remains on the original company’s waiting list and can’t tell whether they actually finish jobs — he walked away feeling they couldn’t follow up or keep their word, especially when a modest repair was handled quickly by someone else.

Surfers P.
YelpSep 12, 2013

Before buying a house, Surfers P. had Mike inspect the roof for free; what Mike discovered convinced them to abandon that purchase. They later found another house, asked Mike to inspect that roof as well (again at no charge), and went ahead with the sale. Mike and his team at Sequoia repaired part of the roof, arriving on time, cleaning up thoroughly, and sharing digital photos that showed the damage before and the finished work after. Surfers purchased a warranty that covered the entire roof even though Sequoia had only worked on a portion of it. When a leak later appeared in the section Sequoia hadn’t touched, they called Mike and his crew showed up the next day and fixed it at no cost under the warranty. The detail that stuck with them: free, honest pre-purchase inspections, clear before-and-after photo documentation, and a company willing to honor a whole-roof warranty with fast, no-questions service.

Andrew R.
YelpJul 17, 2013

Andrew R. chose Sequoia Roofing to re-roof his contemporary, flat-roof home in Cardiff that overlooks the ocean after interviewing six contractors and researching roofing options. He gravitated toward Mike’s knowledgeable, down-to-earth approach and felt reassured when both his chosen solar company and the runner-up roofer recommended Sequoia. Mike’s crew arrived with five men, tore the old roof off in a single day with minimal mess, and completed the new installation over the next four days. As a self-described perfectionist protecting a landmark property, Andrew noticed some stucco damage after the crew left. Mike immediately agreed something needed fixing, made no excuses, and brought in a builder he partners with when his crew lacked the specific skill set. Mike stayed in close contact while the specialist repaired the stucco, and the house was returned to pristine condition. Andrew ended up with a new roof installed quickly and cleanly, plus the reassurance of a local company that took ownership of a follow-up problem rather than deflecting it. The clearest takeaway for him: the quality and accountability of the contractor mattered far more than the roofing material — and,

What You Can Expect

Mayreen M.
YelpFeb 20, 2025

Mayreen M. has relied on the company for about ten years, installing systems on four different houses. She found the relationship stayed personal — Rudy stuck with her through each project, answering questions and helping add panels as needs changed, and Cane showed up the next day to double-check the work. The crews arrived on time, kept the sites clean, and even worked into the dark to cover everything before a storm hit. After collecting several bids, she chose them for the consistent value and the way the team stood behind their installations; what lingered most was the hands-on continuity from the same people across every job.

Andrea Callicott

Andrea had a 50-year GAF roof replaced more than a decade ago and later put solar on the same home. When she made a service call after the installation, Sequoia moved quickly and expedited the needed repairs. She noticed the crew stayed professional and kind throughout, and that the company treated customers as ongoing priorities rather than just jobs to book and finish. The detail that stuck with her: fast, follow-up service years after the work was done — a clear sign Sequoia follows through.

Robert L.
YelpJan 10, 2025

Robert (Bob) from North Coast Skylights, Inc. has worked with Mike and Rudy for many years on a string of skylight and roofing jobs. He relied on them repeatedly because the crew stayed flexible with scheduling, avoided coordination headaches, and turned in consistently top-quality work at a fair price. He appreciated that everyone on the team was easy to work with, has recommended them to others, and would hire them again for any roofing or skylight project.
