The Verdict

Dura-Foam delivers solid foam roofing, but their track record on leaks should give you pause. One homeowner came home to $4,000 in water damage just a year after installation, then faced a second leak in a different spot the following winter. Another called them out three times in twelve months to patch holes left by a third-party HVAC crew. We found 148 mentions of strong workmanship, and most customers report decades of leak-free performance with noticeable drops in cooling bills. The crew shows up fast when problems surface. Lalo and his team patched one leak on a Saturday, and another customer got a callback within 12 hours when an old broiler vent caused trouble. The recoat process every 6 to 8 years runs $2,000 to $4,000, and repeat buyers say the maintenance is straightforward. If you can live with the reality that foam roofs sometimes crack under foot traffic or develop slow leaks at equipment penetrations, and you value a team that will show up the same weekend to troubleshoot, Dura-Foam is a defensible choice for a Bay Area Eichler.

If you want a foam roof that cuts your AC bill and a crew that answers service calls on Saturdays, Dura-Foam will take care of you. Just budget for the occasional leak repair in year one or two, and plan on that $3,000 recoat every eight years.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Virginia C.
Yelp | Jan 14, 2021 |

Two years ago Virginia decided to replace the aging roof on her Eichler and, after months of research, chose a Dura-foam system. Adam led the job and kept the project moving despite the usual quirks of an older house, coordination with a wall-insulation crew, and a homeowner who admits she micromanaged every detail. Dura-foam handled the permits, the office team kept her informed about timing and payments, and the installation crew showed up quick, clean, and careful around the garden and outdoor spaces on install day. Having run many home improvement projects, she called this one the gold standard. A few days ago another old-house problem — a broiler vent — brought her back to Dura-foam. Within 12 hours Anthony and Lusio were on the roof: they quickly identified the issue, took photos, spoke with the repairman about access, clearly explained what a repair would require, and even recommended and phoned a repair person to describe how to fix the vent without breaking the roof seal. Adam and Isaac followed up afterward to confirm the outcome (it turned out not to be a Dura-foam issue) and to check in. What stands out is the responsiveness and the care to protect the roof seal,庭

2. Sarah K.
Yelp | Dec 15, 2009 |

Sarah K. had a Dura Foam roof installed after a whole-house remodel and addition following the 2007 rainy season, and within months she discovered serious problems. After the first big rains in 2008 a major leak ruined walls and bamboo flooring — more than $4,000 in interior damage. When she first reported the leak, Dura Foam implied someone must have been jumping on the roof to cause the crack; she had only climbed up once to clean skylights and weighed about 100 pounds. Dura Foam eventually admitted an installation problem and repaired the roof, but the company left her to cover the interior repairs. More recently another leak showed up in a new spot after recent rains, so the relief of last year’s repair felt temporary. This time the leak is slower — no buckets on the floor — but drywall is buckling and paint is bubbling, the kind of slow damage that eats away at a ceiling over time. Frustrated, she compared the whole experience to plugging one hole in a cartoon only to have water spout out somewhere else. When she called for service this time, Dura Foam directed her to submit a service-request form on their website, which did little to reassure her. For now she’s waiting to

3. Caleb K.
Yelp | Feb 16, 2023 |

Caleb called Dura-Foam after an HVAC crew from Artic HVAC cut into his foam roof during installation and failed to backfill, a mistake that produced several leaks over the past year. He worked directly with Adam Feriante and especially Lalo, who showed up each time a leak appeared and patched it quickly and effectively. He appreciated that Dura-Foam charged reasonably given the heavy lifting they did—stripping old roofing material and silicone, hauling it away, installing new foam and re-coating the roof. The thing that stuck with him was Lalo’s steady responsiveness and the company’s willingness to do a full remove-and-recoat job rather than leave temporary fixes.

What You Can Expect

01

1. Yu-En T.
Yelp | Feb 5, 2021 |

Yu-En T. had a foam roof and solar system installed by dura-foam four years ago. After a recent storm caused a leak, they reached out and Jarom, the owner, responded promptly; a crew was on the roof within a couple of days. Rick’s team tracked down the problem, sealed the leaking area, and attached a small tunnel to divert splash that likely caused the issue. The fast follow-up and the practical, preventive repair reassured Yu-En — the splash-diverting fix is the specific detail that stood out and should keep the leak from coming back.

2. N Green
Google | May 28, 2020 |

N Green has relied on Dura-Foam for 26 years — the company put on their foam roof and installed the solar system — so a leak felt particularly alarming. They discovered peeling interior paint, cut away drywall, and found the space behind it saturated; the foam roof was leaking, which surprised them because foam roofs are expected to hold up. They contacted Dura-Foam for a repair estimate; Adam came out to inspect and quickly sent a knowledgeable, efficient crew who sealed several cracks. Because it hasn’t rained yet, they can’t fully judge the repair’s durability, but they came away confident in the crew’s competence. The crew also recommended having the roof re-coated next year — a concrete next step that N plans to follow.

3. Andrew M.
Yelp | May 7, 2025 |

Andrew M. requested an estimate for a roof leak repair and a full roof recoat on his house. A crew showed up on time, spent a good while on the roof, photographed the area extensively, located the leak and promised he would receive a full report. After that, silence: he never received the promised documentation. He emailed and left voicemail after voicemail with no response, and when he finally reached someone they explained the person handling his file was "busy" and would follow up — which never happened. He tried a few more times and eventually gave up. Having dealt with the company years earlier when they performed better, he ended up with dozens of photos and an unresolved repair plan rather than the clear next steps he was promised.

1. Peter Carcione
Google | Aug 5, 2022 |

Peter owns an Eichler-style home in the Bay Area and had a combined roof-and-solar system put in by Dura-Foam about nine years and six months earlier. When his solar generation dropped, he called the company and was surprised when Anthony and Lusio turned up knowing his house and the original installation. They quickly diagnosed the problem, took time to double-check everything, and calmed his worries with straightforward, professional work. The team’s on-site ease matched the family-like photos on their website — friendly but thorough — and Dura-Foam stood behind the job: they did not charge a service call even though the system had been installed nearly a decade before. For owners of tricky roofs like Eichlers, he found the combination of memory, competence, and no-nonsense follow-up to be the detail that mattered most.

3. Elan W.
Yelp | Jan 18, 2023 |

Elan W. had a new Dura-Foam roof put on in 2020, and three years later he watched it face a brutal, three-week stretch of historic storms. He discovered not a single leak during that period, and after three years of steady protection he now expects many more leak-free seasons ahead. The three weeks of storms stand out as the defining proof that the foam roof is doing its job.

1. Frances K.
Yelp | Dec 16, 2022 |

Frances K. hired Dura-Foam Roofing more than five years ago to replace her old T and G roof with a foam system, and this past year she had them back for a re-coating. Over the years she noticed consistent follow-through on service and maintenance, and during the recent project the crew — Anthony and Ali — stood out: courteous, communicative, and meticulous about cleanup. The end result was a refreshed foam roof and a tidy job site, the kind of long-term aftercare that stayed with her.

2. Julie G.
Yelp | Aug 31, 2021 |

Julie G. booked a solar installation that required close coordination between the third-party solar crew and the roofer, and she quickly discovered Dura-Foam was the steadying force in a chaotic schedule. When dates shifted and multiple teams needed to sync up, she leaned on Dura-Foam’s flexibility and customer-focused approach to keep things moving without constant worry. The crew—David, Lucio, Fabio, Lalo and others—along with leaders Adam, Rick, Isaac and Daniel, handled the details so smoothly that she felt genuinely “taken care of” throughout the work. Dura-Foam had already completed a full roof recoat in 2018 that’s still in great shape, and this follow-up service matched that same high quality. She walked away knowing the roof was in capable hands and that Dura-Foam would be the one company she’d call for years to come.

3. John O.
Yelp | Nov 15, 2021 |

John O. had his home's roof recoated about three and a half years earlier and later discovered persistent leaks. A technician the company sent inspected the roof and found eight clear penetration points in the foam plus roughly eighty other suspect locations, then the company sent a $500 bill for that service. He called to push the warranty but kept getting bounced from person to person — each representative promised to review the guarantee and call back, and the returned calls always came from someone new who repeated the same line. After that carousel of callbacks, he finally received a message that the problem was "not their responsibility." He also dug into the company’s background, flagged past alleged misconduct tied to Randy Ferianti, and now regrets hiring them. The concrete takeaway: he ended up paying for service, faced a rotating cast of representatives with no useful resolution, and warns future customers to check the company and Randy Ferianti online before signing a contract.
