What Dubliners wrote about us.
Recommended Roofing's Google rating is 5.0 from 20+ reviews of all its work. All eight of the Dublin reviews follow, word for word.
“We recently had Recommended Roofing replace the roof on our extension, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Gerry, the business owner, was professional, friendly, and personally ensured the work was completed to a very high standard. The workmanship was excellent—the new roof looks great and feels solid and well-built. Gerry and his team were approachable throughout the project, always happy to answer any questions we had. The job was completed within the expected timeframe, with no unnecessary delays. Once the work was finished, the team left the site clean and tidy, with no mess left behind. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. We highly recommend Gerry and the team at Recommended Roofing and would definitely use their services again.”
“Really happy with service provided. They were extremely helpful and efficient from start to finish. An assessment and quote were provided the day after I first got in touch, and the repair was completed within a week. The issue and proposed solution were clearly explained, and I really appreciated that they recommended a proportionate repair rather than simply suggesting everything needed to be replaced. Very professional, straightforward and efficient service. Would definitely recommend!”
“From the very first point of contact with Gerry to the very end the service was top class . Gerry himself is a head of knowledge and just an all round great friendly guy . The 2 lads that did the work - replaced all the fascia , gutters and down pipes etc , worked solid , even in the heat wave and its wasn't a bother to them . I would / will recommend them to everyone . Gerry and the lads - Thank you so much , Denise and Alan Moghal- Baldoyle , Dublin”

From the first visit to the last tidy-up.
Someone comes out and looks at the roof from the slope and from the attic. You get the findings and a fixed price in writing, with the guarantee that applies. If you agree, the work is done to that price, and the site is left clear.
Nothing in that sequence needs you to take a leap of faith, which is the point of it.

Proof from the big names
A logo on its own proves little, so here is the work. These are roles Recommended Roofing already publishes on its own site, shown with the photographs and film from the jobs.
Branch building maintenance and re-roofingBank of Ireland
Chosen only after pre-qualification on insurance, safety systems and financial standing. A bank checks all three before it lets anyone onto a branch roof.
The photographs show the work in progress: a branch building fully scaffolded for roof repairs, the slate edge of a bank roof being put right, and the gutters of a second branch, in Sligo, being restored. Sligo is outside Dublin; it is here because a bank's branches are the best reference a roofer can have.
