Best roofer around – faultless
Best experience with any builder I have ever had. Completely trustworthy and professional, pays attention to every detail, has delivered truly German first-class workmanship on a major waterproofing job. Cannot be faulted.
Highly recommend Thank God for the German Roofer.
We had a massive storm in Cape Town which ripped half the roof off leading to leaks all over the house. Daniel and his team managed to source new tiles to match the heritage tiles and waterproof and secure everything properly within short notice. Very grateful!
A1 service. Daniel has the qualifications. Fixed our roof to German specifications. He does the job himself, keeps you updated on what he is doing and why, completely open and transparent in every way. If you compare quotes you need to be sure you are comparing apples with apples. Would 100% recommend and pay for his services again. The trustworthy guy you want on your roof !
Daniel diagnosed my roofing issues after numerous other experts could not. He was quick to supply a detailed quote and schedule in the work which was completed on time. He kept me updated daily with progress and pictures of the work and left the place looking cleaner than he found it according to my tenants! Would highly recommend Daniel and his team and would use him again. Five stars from me
I had a serious leaking problem on my roof in Hout Bay. Daniel from German roofers repaired it so professionally. This entire winter the house was wet free….Will highly recommend them.
I would like to thank Mr Daniel and his team for the excellent workmanship they did at Camps Bay Police station. They worked through harch weather conditions to fix the roof. The team are very professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. The roof with the Golden Police Star on top looks amazing, and no more leaks. I would definitely recommend The German Roofer for any roofing problems.
