After a heavy rain storm we noticed a roof leak. We contacted River Oakes Roofing, Matt the owner was super responsive and was able to come out the next morning to access the damage. He found our shingles were damaged due to the strong winds and was able to fix it same day. He also went out of his way to do a couple extra repairs for us while he was up on the roof. Affordable and great customer service. We will definitely be using this company again for any future repairs. Thank you!

We had storm damage to our roof and had to get our roof replaced. Matt was a professional from start to finish. The job was done timely and looks amazing. No detail was left unfinished and where there were a couple spots in the plywood that looked questionable, they made sure to replace the wood. I’m very pleased with the whole process. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Used Matt and River Oakes Roofing for a number of years and for several roofing issues such as an ice dam issue one winter and most recently a roof leak following heavy wind and rains. He always responded promptly and fixed the issue to prevent recurrence and if needed made follow-up visit to ensure his work was done write. Would give anyone who asked about Matt's work and business ethics my fullest recommendation without hesitation.

We absolutely loved working with River Oakes Roofing. The initial phone call was very informative. It was clear that Mr. Oakes was very knowledgable in this field. Mr. Oakes was very prompt and kept to his word on all time frames given. We got our quote very quickly and were on their books within the week to begin work. His team did a really excellent job from start to finish. The roof looks beautiful! I could not be happier!

We just had our roof replaced by River Oakes Roofing and Matt (owner) and his team did a great job. Matt met with us within days to examine and give an estimate. He offered options for repairs and didn’t pitch up sales which kept his price down. Once we signed the contract he had us scheduled within days. His team showed up on time, we very polite and got everything done in a day, including cleanup. Highly recommend them.

I have to share the wonderful customer service I experienced . The communication, and professonalism was over the top, not to mention the the great quality of my finished roof was exceptional. Matt Oakes and his men are the hardest workers I have seen in a very longtime. From beginning til the end was all around a great customer experience.
Thank you Matt Oakes and crew for a job well done.

What a relief to have found someone
In the roofing business that is so knowledgeable. Matt the owner came out to access hail and wind damage on our roof. He explained we had storm damage and what it looks like through pictures he took of main roof. Matt emailed everything I needed to send State Farm. He is very through and my wife was less stressed because he assured her it's going to be ok. I already recommended him to my neighbor and he came out on time and took care of the wind damage. It's hard to find people that are this professional and I believe he truly cares about his customers.

Matt is great! My husband was not available, so he explained everything to me and did not try and take advantage of me being a female as some companies do. The area he fixed started to leak again and he came right out after I called. He made sure everything was complete before he left. He is truly a man of his word and is very knowledgeable. I would recommend him for any job. Thanks Matt!

It was going to be 2 days before insurance adjuster could be here and I was concerned about rainwater leakage after siding and the attic vent on one side of my house was blown off by high wind gusts. I Googled and found River Oakes Roofing. Matt said he could take care if it and responded right away. He worked diligently high on the ladder while the wind was still gusty to get the job finished. He was pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job (and the cost was reasonable).

River Oakes did an amazing job on my roof. Matt spent a significant amount of time explaining different types of roof wood, flow of air through the attic, moisture, shingle types, etc. He thoroughly inspected every detail of the roof as well. There is no question that Matt has master level experience and knowledge. It is clear that he has been a roofer for a very long time, and also local to the NOVA area for all his experience. After meeting with Matt materials were dropped off next business day and the roof went on the day after that. His whole crew was excellent and they finished the entire house in one day with ease. The entire time the roof was being replaced Matt was sending me pictures and updates. He was easy to reach as he immediately responded to call, text, email, etc. the whole time. The process was incredibly easy, thanks for beautiful roof Matt & crew!

This was one of the absolute best home repair experiences ever! Matt knows his stuff! His 36 years of experience shine through everything he does, and his crew is STELLAR! His whole operation is a well-oiled machine. Watching his crew work together is truly impressive. They replaced my dilapidated roof in less than 9 hours, for an extremely generous price, and from the first contact it took less than a week to complete... in WINTER! Highly recommend!!!

I'm very pleased with the work done by River Oakes Roofing. The process was very simple, from quote to finish everything took less than 2.5 weeks! I had another quote done and River Oakes had a much more competitive price. I was able to easily communicate with the owner and get updates via email/text. I had fascia, soffit, gutter, and shed roof repair done and it all looks great now! I appreciate Matt's expertise and suggestions for the best option. This is a small business you can definitely trust and should support.

I have been extremely impressed by the quality of work done by River Oakes. They replaced my roof vents and I was so impressed that I hired them several additional times. They recently installed gutter guard materials. They also installed a gutter completely alleviating overflow problems I was having. I have been pleased every time. I now keep their phone number as a favorite contact. I will go with River Oakes any time.

River Oakes replaced our roof six years ago. Matt was prompt, professional, courteous, and transparent throughout and made it a painless process. We particularly appreciated Matt offering a 10 year warranty on his work, and his prompt and continuing responsiveness. Work by a different contractor recently caused some roof issues. Matt showed up within 24 hours to repair the damage. Thanks, Matt. We appreciate it!

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

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.
