I recently hired Mills Roofing to install a composite deck at my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to the final touches, the entire process was seamless, professional, and stress-free.

They were punctual, courteous, and knowledgeable about the materials and options available. Once the work began, they maintained excellent communication and ensured the job site was kept clean and safe throughout the project.

The craftsmanship is outstanding. The deck looks amazing—sleek, sturdy, and clearly built to last. I've already received compliments from neighbors and friends!

If you're considering a deck, I highly recommend Mills Roofing.

Title: John Mills Jr. Roofing: Where Professionalism, Quality, and Value Meet

I just had my roof replaced by John Mills Jr. Roofing and I could not be more pleased with the overall experience.

Scheduling an appointment was a breeze, they were quick to schedule, and they arrived promptly at the agreed-upon time for both the initial evaluation and the new roof installation. From start to finish, the entire project took less than a week.

Throughout the project, Candy maintained clear communication and transparency. Her level of responsiveness and dedication to customer satisfaction was unsurpassed. Every interaction was marked by professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care.

John Mills Jr. Roofing delivered on quality and workmanship. I was impressed by how efficiently this team operated. Stan was on top of all aspects of the installation and the team did not waste any time getting down to business, working tirelessly to get the job done. Once completed, they cleaned up everything, there was not one piece of debris left on my property. This team proved themselves to be true masters of their craft.

Cost was a significant concern; their pricing was extremely competitive, and they delivered exceptional service and a quality product that did not break the bank.

John Mills Jr. Roofing is the total package. They've earned my trust and my highest recommendation, and I have no doubt they'll exceed your expectations too. You cannot go wrong with them.

What a great experience, Mr Mills showed up right on time at 8:00 & his crew of about 8 men came a short time later to replace roof.
They worked as one team, had an elevator ladder that took roofing materials up to the men which was a big help. Job was completed by 1:30 & it's beautiful. Did a total cleanup afterward taking all debris with them.
They had to replace 5 sheets of plywood due to dampness, installed 2 solar powered attic fans on backside. With the electric attic fan I installed last spring humidity & mold will not be a problem.
Cost $9,300 plus $200 for the 5 sheets of plywood for total cost of $9,500
I had a previous estimate from another roofing company that wanted over $25,000 for the same job.
If you hire another co that want's a lot more for the same job most will offer financing like the previous co. that gave me an estimate & with interest by the time you pay it off you will have spent close to double the original cost or more.
If you need a new roof you can't do better then John Mills Roofing

In less than the time it took other companies to even respond to a request for a quote, John Mills Jr. responded to our request, came out and gave a quote, scheduled, and put the whole dang roof on. Their price was very reasonable, the crew was fast and clean, and respectful and mindful of my garden, and our roof looks great now. Stan and Candy were awesome as well, helpful and knowledgeable. I wish all our home improvement projects could go this smoothly.

Candy customer service is the greatest and flexible.
Stan the on site Supervisor was made for this job. Stan is pleasant, knowledgeable, agreeable, and answers all concerns and question. Called Wednesday Evening and emailed USAA quote. The company beat the quote in my favor by a few bucks. Thursday the next morning on the job and roof by 0815. AND for kicks made the dog house roof matched the house roof. This included cleanup. Cleaned my gutters. Used Driftwood beautiful Architectural asphalt shingles. The workmanship is warranty for ten years. I had two other quotes one was bonded company the other not bonded. Both were close to a thousand higher and the warranty was not in the discussion .
Must see to appreciate 14 squares.
Thanks

I was driving on interstate 95 and was cut off by one of their vehicles. I was riding safely behind a U-Haul my boyfriend was driving. Slammed on my breaks and blew the horn. He almost ran right into my boyfriend. The driver continued by on by dodging in and out of traffic.

I would normally never write a bad review about someone's small business, but the driver was so reckless I think it needed to be acknowledged by management.

I have used John Mills roofing since the early 90’s on 4 roofs (moved to these homes). His work has always been stellar. I hope this last one is THE last one. His secretary, Candy, is always pleasant and helpful. They are a fantastic company!

Our roof leaked and sheathing buckling was evident. Consequently, we contacted several roofing companies for estimates to either repair or replace our roof.

We learned that it pays to research competing companies’ products and services thoroughly. After doing so, we chose John Mills Roofing Company over other roofing companies for a number of reasons.

Two companies’ representatives spent well over an hour trying to convince us to hire them; one barely spent any time on the roof. John Mills, on the other hand, thoroughly examined our roof and provided us with sound advice allowing us to decide wisely.

John Mills’ cost to repair our roof, if we chose to, was significantly less than other companies’ estimates. To his credit, John Mills even went so far as to suggest that a roof leak repair could have bought us a couple more years’ roof life. He was even prepared to fix our roof while at our home providing an estimate. All considered we chose to replace our roof rather than repair - no pressure or slick sales talk by John Mills – just sound advice by a seasoned professional.

John Mills was the ONLY company representative to measure our roof to determine materials necessary to make an accurate estimate.

John Mills’ cost to replace sheathing was significantly less than other companies’ estimates.

John Mills used modern synthetic roofing underlayment instead of felt for under the shingles.

John Mills used quality, long-life shingles. One company proposed using shingles determined by others (including a builder and one of the other roofing competitors) to be outdated – no longer even used or available in warehouses.

John Mills Roofing cost was substantially less than other competitors we researched.

On the day we had our roof replaced, John Mills and his crew first protected areas around our house. They quickly and efficiently removed our old shingles, replaced damaged sheathing, prepared our roof with synthetic titanium underlayment, ice and water shield and then skillfully installed the new shingles. They installed a ridge vent on the peak of the roof, new flashing on our fireplace chimney and double boot pipe collars around our roof vents. Last, they cleaned up nails and other debris and hauled it all away. The entire process took eight hours or less.

Overall, this was a great experience for us. The John Mills Company was great to work with – very business-like, professional, thorough and fair. The crew used to replace our roof was hard working, knowledgeable, professional, experienced and skilled. Attention to detail was evident. Additionally, it was clear that the crew enjoyed working together.

Bottom line – our new roof looks great! Ten-year workmanship warranty included.

We will definitely hire the John Mills Company should we ever require roof work again. We highly recommend them. Five out of five stars!

John Mills was fantastic to work with. Once I said okay to the work, they were out the next day and completed everything the same day. The work looks great and the price was very competitive. Highly recommend John Mills Roofing!

Have warranty work that was looked at in January/February and was told by the owner's son that a rubber roof probably should have been used. Have not had much luck except for once or twice getting in touch with this company as their voicemail is always on and get no return calls. Even when I was able to talk to someone, it was the office person who was unable to do much and never had anyone call back. Went by the office and was told someone would be by this morning and it is now after noon and no one has shown. Of course the voicemail is on. Husband stayed home today so really disappointed they have been a no-show. This is now April and nothing has been resolved. They have not even acknowledged what will or won't be done.

After a stressful few months of roof issues and leaks throughout this rainy year, other roofers saying they’d come out and never show up - John Mills Jr gave us an estimate, arranged to come do the work, took care of business with a friendly crew, cleaned up AND returned to check out an area I had questions about. They did what they said they were going to do on the dates and times they said they were going to do it. Candy in the office gives great customer service and I couldn’t be happier with my experience!

My 80 year old mother in law contacted this company the week before Christmas due to leaks in roof. Someone came out to do an estimate the next day and said they would call to let her know what they could do. It's been 3 weeks, multiple messages left on voicail and no return phone call. Should be ashamed of themselves for treating the elderly so poorly.

Got some estimates, John Mills was very competitive. I jokingly said can you start tomorrow and he had a 12 person crew there the next day at 8:00am. Completed a large roof and gutters in a day and a half. Great job, quality work, very satisfied. Highly recommend!

If I could give them 10 stars I would. After having another company come to give me an estimate that was outrageous! Then they try to pressure you into signing a contract. I called John Mills Roofing company. I spoke to Candy about having someone come out to give me an estimate. John was so professional and honest. Mr. Mills and his son's are honest hard working people. Mr. Mill's workers are the best. They take pride in their work. Mr. Mills came throughout the day to check the progress, and was there if I had any questions. They really did a great job cleaning up. Mr. Mills has been in Roofing for more than 30 years. My new roof is beautiful! If you want someone who is honest and dependable, and does an amazing job call John Mills Roofing company. Thank you Candy for being there from the beginning to the end if I had any questions. Thank you Mr. Mills and your outstanding staff.

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications.

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
