I was looking for someone to do some flashing and replace shingles on a portion of my roof, and Randy was the perfect man for the job. He responded very quickly to my call and had the job complete in no time. He even went out of his way to work with my schedule and ensure the job got done right. He was also extremely fair on his pricing. I will definitely be using Randy for all of my future roof repairs.

Randy helped me out twice with two different awkward spots on my roof that had some premature rotting. He's friendly, fair, and responsive and I wouldn't hesitate to call on him again or recommend his work to a friend.

It was an absolute pleasure having Randy work on our roof for a few missing shingles and boots. He was professional, gave honest and low quote, and scheduled the repair within in a couple of days. The workmanship was also great. I highly recommend having Randy to take a look for roof related issues.

Hard to find a contractor like Randy these days. He truly cares about his customers. I was selling my house and needed some last minute repairs and Randy was out fixing my roof within 24 hours. He is a genuine person and honestly, he has the best and most affordable deals in the NRV. You will not find a better contractor than Randy.

Randy was really great, good work and fair price. He was flexible and patient with my weird schedule, even though the repair required a couple of visits. He explained everything really well, and warned me early that finding the exact location of the problem might take a couple of tries. He did find it on the second try, and got it fixed right away. I would recommend him to anyone

I had a leak where my roof meets my chimney. Randy came very quickly (on a holiday weekend) to diagnose and fix the problem. The quoted price was reasonable, and the repair was executed with great professionalism! I checked in my attic the next time it rained, and the leak is fixed now. Great work!

I sold my house and thanks to Randy, I was able to get him to fix the flash on the roof near the chimney. It was based on the home inspection. Randy fixed it in a timely manner. Thank you Randy for helping me out in time of need. Highly recommended.

We had the top of our oil furnace chimney taken down below the roofline as it was leaking and we no longer have an oil furnace. Job was completed in a timely fashion and it looks great, Randy even cleaned out the gutters.

We have called Randy Howell for a couple of different issues, first a sagging gutter and then a roof leak. Both times Randy responded right away, quick turn around time and got the job done efficiently and effectively. We noticed the leak right before a heavy rain and Randy responded quickly, found the issue and fixed/ sealed other problem areas as well, which gave us peace of mind. Randy is easy to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again should we have any other issues.

Randy was proactive, responsive and timely. He was above board with quotes and knowledgeable and forthright with options available for our task — to replace two leaky skylights. Randy was careful and methodical. We are grateful for him, and pleased with the outcome of our project. Thankyou, Randy!

Fabulous man to deal with. I didn't read the part that he was in the Radford area. I'm so impressed when people call me back even when they know I've called the wrong person or location. This man was delightful on the phone and by the end of the conversation he even offered to drive all the way up to Botetourt County to look at my roof! Peeps, if you live in the New River Valley and have a roof issue, call this man!

Excellent service. I was very satisfied with his service and workmanship. He was very honorable and stood on his word and came on time and exactly when he told me he would. He is very honest, dependable, friendly, easy to deal with and I would highly recommend and would call him first in the future if I needed a repair.

I was referred to Randy by another contractor who was out of town. Randy was very responsive and thorough. He did a careful inspection of the area where our roof was leaking and found a problem with the flashing. He made excellent repairs in a timely fashion. Overall the experience of working with Randy was excellent. I have already recommended him to our home insurance agent as a contractor he can recommend.

I was having trouble finding a contractor to fix my roof. Everyone seems so busy in the summer! After numerous calls and voicemails, I found Randy, glad I did. I could write a longer review but I'd rather save you some time and have you call him . Highly recommend his work ethic and results.

Randy called me back the day I left a message, , said he would be there the next morning to give me an estimate, well he ended up just doing the the job when he got there! Great workmanship, reasonable price, very friendly! I would highly recommend him, even put him in my phone future work if I need it. Thanks for such responsiveness and work Randy!

Randy responded to my voicemail right away, which seems to be unusual these days!
He was at my house the next day for an estimate and the work on my roof was complete a few days later!
He replaced several shingles that had blown off as well as repaired a couple downspouts and sealed around my satellite dish, all for what I considered a very good price!
I appreciate his work ethic and would highly recommend him!

Randy is just incredible, and such a nice, honest, and wonderful guy. I have already used his services numerous times and every time he has fixed my roof issues super fast and super cheap. He is an expert roofer and there is nothing he cannot fix. I wish everybody would have the integrity and professionalism that Randy has in his business. Thank you Randy!

I had to replace missing and damaged roof shingles. Randy responded to my voicemail on the same day, gave me the estimate the next day, and completed repair the following day. Excellent work and reasonable price.

Jeff LaCroix

I had a leak in my roof and I wasn’t positive where it came from. Randy came recommended so he came out and took a look and was able to identify the cause immediately. He replaced 3 vent flashings for me, 2 which had failed and one I asked him to do since it was the same age as the others. He was professional and easy to work with, and pricing was fair. With roofing issues you hope never to have to see someone again, but if I do I’ll call Randy again.

John Baute

I have a crappy roof. It has sprung leaks in various locations and I have to call Randy about every 2 years. He is always responsive, honest and reasonably priced. He knows what he is doing and I always have confidence that he'll find the problem and fix it. When the time comes to replace the whole roof he will be my first call.

Manisha Sharma

We had to get an emergency leak in the roof fixed and also had to be away that week. It was forecasted to rain cats and dogs. Randy’s Expert service fixed our roof before that rain hit, and saved our house . Excellent service at reasonable prices too. Would recommend him for any roofing needs

We needed our gutters cleaned and some roofing repairs, and we were so pleased with our experience with RL Howell. After a wind storm, we called a number of roofing companies and none called us back. RL Howell was working in our area, on another roof, and I spoke to them in person, and they came over within a couple of days. Their prices were so reasonable, and they were very friendly. I was so pleased with our experience, and will definitely get in touch with them again if we need help with roofing or gutters.

Randy helped us with some shingles replacement. He is a very nice person to talk to, work with. He came for a free estimation and then gave a fair price. Then he got his job done very quickly.

Logan Tabor
Apr 6, 2018

Randy did a wonderful job repairing the roof. He came to replace a good amount of shingles that were wind damaged. He then found other problems that he fixed and informed me of some that I would need to keep an eye on. Then he lowered the price on his original quote, that was already lower than what you would get from other guys, all because it didn't take him as long as he thought it would. Great guy to talk to as well. If there were a 6 star rating then I'd give it. Thanks

R L Howell Roofing provided a prompt estimate and offered excellent pricing for a roof repair. They were efficient in completing the work, completing the task the day after the estimate. They were thorough and made sure to clean up the entire work area once the job was complete. They even offered to come back a week later to double check that their work was satisfactory. Great work, great price, great service!

Randy did an excellent job. He was very good about cleaning up at the end of each day and he came day after day for a very troublesome leak. He knew how to fix it, it just took a long time. Randy explained each step and why it was necessary. He is a man who takes pride in his work.

Randy did a thoroughly professional job on my roof. I needed a small repair-some shingles had blown off and others had become loose. He not only fixed that problem but when I asked for advice about my skylights, suggested what was needed to maintain them. He offered to clean off the build up of moss and leaves from the top side....a side I could not see from the ground. His pricing was fair and his workmanship gave me confidence. It was a short week between my call for a repair and its actuality.

All in all, it was a good contractor experience. I highly recommend Randy.

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.
