I very highly recommend Raber Roofing. We had shingles, siding, and gutters replaced. Their estimate was prompt, detailed, and accurate. Marvin helped us with choices and paid attention to what we wanted done. The crew was diligent, focused, friendly, and skilled. They were careful and didn’t make a big mess. Marvin responded quickly to our questions and guided and checked the crew’s progress. The work was completed quickly and correctly and looks super good. They crew cleaned up throughly and even used a magnet to pick up nails from the egress windows. Great job from estimate to completion! Five stars and two thumbs up.

We had a great experience with Raber Roofing Systems for our new metal roof. When we first reached out, we asked for quotes on both shingles and metal roofing. There was absolutely no sales pressure, and they provided detailed quotes for both options so we could make the decision that was best for us.
Once we decided on the metal roof, accepting the proposal through their online portal was quick and easy. Due to the major storms this year, their schedule was running behind, but they consistently kept us informed and updated on timing, which we really appreciated.
The installation process went smoothly. A crew came out on a Friday to remove our shingles and install the underlayment. The following Monday, on one of the hottest days of the year, a hardworking crew arrived early and installed the metal roof on our house. They returned the next day to complete the garage and shed. About a week later, a different crew came back to install new gutters and downspouts.
Throughout the entire project, everyone was friendly, professional, and communicative. There were no surprise charges or unexpected costs. We paid exactly what was quoted. We're very happy with the quality of the work and the finished result.
Highly recommend Raber Roofing Systems!

I wish I could give these guys more than five stars, because they deserve it. They have provided numerous assistance (roof assessments/consultations) and service (roof repairs of various sorts) over the past ten years for my own home, my mother’s home, and rental properties. Marvin is a class act and someone you can trust for solid work done at fair prices.
Price assessment: Great price

Marvin is the man! He went above and beyond to help us get our roof and siding fixed after the recent hail storms. He provided us with everything we requested to give to our insurance company for the claims. He always answered any phone call or text we had, and his estimates were very detailed.
His team completed the roof and siding in just over a day and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend him if you want someone who is honest, responsive, and affordable!

We had our roof and gutters replaced due to hail damage from a storm earlier this year. We went from a shingled roof to a metal roof and also added gutter guards that we didn't previously have. Marvin was a pleasure to work with. He provided a detailed quote the day after he was here, informed us along the way, was extremely responsive, and made sure to let us know when there were any delays due to weather. Our property was left spotless. The roofing team and the gutter team were both so friendly and professional. We are extremely satisfied with our new metal roof, new gutters, and guards. I highly recommend Raber Roofing Systems, LLC! Thanks Marvin and team!
Raber Roofing Systems was great! Our roof and gutters turned out better than we could have imagined. The communication was top notch as well as the how professional everyone was. We would recommend Raber Roofing Systems to everyone.

Top-notch service from start to finish. Marvin and the Raber team were responsive, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer questions, communicated well, and addressed any concerns promptly. The crew worked hard, kept the job site clean, and the finished roof looks great. I appreciated that they stood behind their work and were willing to come back to discuss the few items I wanted reviewed. It’s refreshing to work with a contractor who values customer satisfaction even after the installation is complete. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Raber Roofing Systems to anyone.
Very professional crew that worked on our roof, gutters and gutter guard installation. They did a through clean up and we will use them in the future. Thank you Raber Roofing!
