I absolutely recommend Ryan as a salesman and inspector to come out to help you . He is a wonderful person and honest. He helped me so much with my roof I can't thank him enough. I look forward to working with Ryan in the future .

Had my roof replaced by Rapid Roof on 7/19. During the install I found that the crew had used the wrong underlayment in three large areas (not GAF). I contacted the site manager who had the crew remove the incorrect material. However they had applied shingles to some of the areas and that underlayment was not changed. I tried to contact the office manager but he had gone for the day. The sales rep, Kevin, told me they were reviewing the situation. They following week, Brent, the service rep, came with a crew who inspected and corrected the underlayment and some other damage to trim and siding.The install crew, who I believe were contractors working for Rapid, did not take much care to protect my property and the site manager did not supervise their work well. They rushed to complete the job in one day, just before dark. The next day I found over 30 nails/staples in a small area.Both Kevin and Brent were terrific in resolving my concerns.The roof now looks great.Somewhat disappointed, especially after Rapid’s reviews and their rating with GAF.

We had a great experience with Ryan at Rapid Roofing! He was knowledgeable, kind and very patient with our needs. Their team did an incredible job on our extremely difficult roof replacement project! This was also a very fast and efficient job! Job well done!

Rapid Roofing did my house and garage roof in Westland. They were courteous, prompt, reasonably priced, and they did a great job. The roofs like great, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Rapid

4/5Please read this review if you are considering rapid. Buying a new roof is a very big purchase so I encourage everyone looking to do as much research and price comparison as possible.Tldr: Rapid is a good company especially their staff, but keep an eye on the contractors they hire and hold them accountable for anything they do or don't do. At least from my research ahead of time rapid is the best bang for buck also.I have to split this review into two parts. (part 1) The staff of Rapid are great and I think I'd give a 6/5 if I could. I had in issue with the installation and I also happened to have a picture of this issue and they did everything they could to rectify it especially the on site manager, Brent. I really have to give a shoutout to him, he did such a good job with communication and making sure I was satisfied with the trust I put in his company. They sent out a service crew right away, then they fixed the issue over the next two days. They truly do honor their reputation and want to do right by the customer. Even the sales person I originally spoke with was very patient and always go back to me if he couldn't pick up the phone (which he usually would). The Rapid team is really really good, I can't stress that enough!(part 2) The contractors they hired, however, I think deserve a 1/5. These guys were a team that have been doing this work for 12 years (apparently) and decided to take shortcuts. What shortcuts you ask?1. Not properly installing underlayment over my front porch and a bit over the garage.2. Leaving a bunch of old roof and nails in my yard after their alleged "clean up". When the service crew came in they did a complimentary clean up and they found at least 30 nails in the yard.3. Damage one of my cheap patio tables. Not too upset about this one because it's a really cheap table but still just shows they didn't handle with care.4. Didn't blow out the gutters. There was a ton of residue (from the old roof) in my gutters and even a full set of nails. This is literally what they are supposed to do after the job is done5. There was a corner piece that was sticking out. Functionally I think it was fine but it was an eye sour.Please note that all these issues were fixed or dealt with after the initial install.Now I really ripped into the contractors and to be fair it was getting pretty dark and it was a colder day when they were installing, but that's not an excuse. They could've come back the next day to finish the job they didn't need to cheat. Also despite the fact that I had a bad experience with them (contractors) I don't think you will. It seems like rapid laid into them pretty hard and will be keeping a closer eye on them to make sure this incident doesn't happen again.So yeah despite this I do recommend rapid, but do yourself a favor and buy a cheap camera that has a time lapse feature and record them while they work. Not sure if that's considered rude, but it's to protect yourself so I think it's ok.

We had Rapid Roofing replace our roof and gutters,And they did an excellent job on both the crew that did our roof were unbelievable how fast and neat they worked always cleaning up the shingles and nails. And the Gutter crew same thing, If you need A Roof or Gutters or any service they provide give them a Call.

Rapid Roofing was excellent from the initial roofing evaluation, estimate, to the single-day installation. When they say they are coming at a particular time, they do it. Paul M was especially helpful with evaluating whether to replace the roof or not. On installation day, Zachary and team identified an issue with roof venting that had existed since the house was built. They offered an effective and reasonable solution which they installed perfectly. I am a very experienced DIYer but have reached the age where I need to hire out big jobs like this. I built my previous home (did the complete build myself), so I can identify contractor nonsense and poor work. I am impressed with this company. It seems you can't say that often enough these days.

Used Rapid and would go no where else. Cory was the best so knowledgeable so be professional so well spoken and polite . This guy sold us right away really knows his work. We had other bids but after Cory would go no where else felt so assured and comfortable after his recommendation, pics of everything explained everything in detail and gave 3 to 4 options of what we could do , others are like here it is take it or not , great job Cory and Rapid

A company par excellence, even after post installation! You can't lose with this company! So glad I found them! It appears they're getting a lot of business here in Pontiac, MI.I was driving down Judson Street here in Pontiac, MI, and I saw their signs and logo from another job they had did!

Sonja Robinson

Great experience! Prompt response after I made initial contact. My salesperson was the best; extremely courteous, knowledgeable and timely. My one-day roof installation was fast and efficient. They completed the installation and cleaned up the yard before leaving. A few days later my gutter installation went great as well. Thank you Rapid Roofing for a job well done!

Nicholas Garza

1666795207

My moms house needed a new roof and she received estimates and quotes from 5 other companies, one of which said she had to make a decision that day or the price they quoted would increase. I sat through some of the sales pitches. To be honest they were all pretty much the same but my mom felt most comfortable with Rapid Roofing. Very professional, constant contact all the way through the project. The gutters were installed I believe by another company about a week later. Roof was done in one day, no damage to the house and everything was cleaned up. I guess I didn’t do the best background on the company because I didn’t see the one star review until today. My dealing with Rapid Roofing were the complete opposite of that review. Also one question i did ask, because of another companies pitch, was if they were veteran owned, which they are. Hopefully never need the warranty but so far everything looks great and would definitely recommend.

I was satisfied with the work. The roof is beautiful. Everyone at Rapid Roofing deserves thanks for a job well done.They used photographs of my roof to explain clearly why I was having problems, and why some parts of the roof could be repaired while other parts needed to be replaced. The workmen were pleasant, polite and obviously very competent and I am very happy with the finished job. The guarantee gives peace of mind, and I was happy with the price.

By far and away,we experience the most professional home renovation till date is "Rapid roofing". Rapid roofing team installed an entirely new roof, drainage system and skylights on our new house. Not only does it look amazing, they were kind, thoughtful, and communicative along the way, respecting our space and cleaning up after their work. Their attention to detail is second to none. They did their best to help us problem solve along the way too. I cannot recommend them enough!

We were pleased with the service they rendered. I strongly endorse Rapid Roofing Company.

I got 4 estimates for my roof because it’s the first time I’ve ever had to replace one. The team at Rapid Roofing stood out even from our initial phone call. They’re just so professional and knowledgeable. They definitely weren’t the lowest quote I got, but I felt comfortable with them getting it done right. I’d recommend Rapid Roofing to anyone who needs a roof.
