We love our homes, so investing significant time, energy and finances to create and maintain them is well worth the effort. While most homeowners tend to focus on decorating and remodeling their interior space, they oftentimes overlook the crown jewel of the home—the roof. When it comes to protecting your biggest investment and everything inside of it, the importance of a quality roof cannot be overstated.
It’s usually a leak or some other problem that prompts homeowners to give their roof the attention it deserves. Such was the case with Thousand Oaks residents Tore and Roxanne Livia. When a rainstorm resulted in a leak in their bedroom, they reached out to NEMA Roofing to investigate.
“We found NEMA Roofing through Yelp; they had nothing but five-star reviews, so we decided to give them a shot,” says Roxanne. As is customary for NEMA Roofing, Owner Adam Gringuez promptly inspected the Livia’s roof.
“It’s important for me to come out and personally meet the people and do a proper evaluation,” explains Adam, who learned about best practices in roofing from his father. “As a child in South Africa, my dad had a roofing company,” he shares, remembering, “As a little kid, dad would make me pick up nails—he would never let me get on the roof because I was too little—but he had me pick up nails because he was so precise in making sure the job site was clean and taking care of all the details.”
Growing up around construction and roofing taught Adam the importance of valuing customers’ time and property and treating people right, lessons he applies daily as the owner of NEMA Roofing.
“NEMA is amen spelled backwards,” Adam points out, noting that in following his father’s footsteps and founding his own roofing company, he embraces the same family values and commitment to integrity with which he was raised.
Adam’s honesty and sincere work ethic is apparent to clients like the Livias. After their first meeting with Adam, the couple knew NEMA Roofing was their answer.
“When Adam explained the materials he uses and why he uses them, that was the biggest motivator to pick NEMA,” Tore shares. “We knew we were paying for quality, and that’s why we went with NEMA,” he adds, noting that the new roof was installed with impressive speed and the highest quality.
“I would recommend NEMA Roofing to anybody! Our roof is just fabulous, and we absolutely love it,” says Roxanne.
Top Quality Services
Whether a needed repair or a whole new roof, NEMA Roofing provides customers with top notch customer service they can rely on.
“As a family run, high-end roofing contractor specializing in roofing systems of the highest quality, it’s our mission is to provide our services with the highest standards of integrity and honesty,” says Adam. Ensuring that every member of his crew adheres to his high standards, Adam carefully vets each one before hiring. “All of my technicians are hand-selected and go through a rigorous selection process,” he explains, adding that the team is like a family, with several cousins and extended members upholding NEMA’s customer-centric values.
After NEMA Roofing’s initial scrupulous inspection of each project, Adam meets with clients to formulate a plan, including making recommendations about the best materials to protect against fire, rain and significant temperature variations.
“The life of a roof depends on many factors, including what type of roof one installs, such as a metal roof, concrete roof or roofs utilizing clay or asphalt,” explains Adam, noting that with proper maintenance, roofs can last for 2 to 3 decades.
In California, where fire storms are a frequent issue, the choice of roofing materials can play a huge role in keeping homes safe.
“I think a lot of homeowners don’t know that there are special materials that can serve as solutions for fire prevention. Our metal roofs are fire-rated and our company is proud to be one of the few roofing contractors that custom-fabricate standing seam metal roofs directly on-site,” says Adam.
As fire-rated materials have fireproof wire mesh that prevents embers from getting into the roof, “we can often save the house by using the right materials,” which turns out to be less expensive than repairing fire damage would be in the long run, Adam explains.
In addition, “Our materials are more energy efficient than those of many other companies in Southern California.” Working with reputable manufacturers, NEMA Roofing sources the highest quality self-adhesive materials to seal roofs and ensure leak-free areas around all nails, pipes, chimneys and skylights.
Licensed, bonded and insured with more than 25 years of experience, NEMA Roofing takes pride in its reputation for constructing high-quality roofs that are built to last with a smile.
