When Gina, a longtime Clearwater homeowner, noticed signs of a possible roof leak, she knew she needed to address it before the problem became more serious and hurricane season arrived. After comparing bids from six established roofing companies, she contacted Chris Foster at West Side Roofing on the recommendation of her church pastor, who had been very pleased with Chris’s work. Chris carefully inspected the roof, photographed the problem areas, explained what needed to be done, and helped Gina evaluate options that made sense for both her home and her budget.

Thank you for your crew coming out Saturday in the rain to save my house from more damage and then returning today to repair and replace what needed to be done for a reasonable price. Your crew was polite and professional and I hope they enjoy the Mangoes and we will be using you for any future projects Abby HarrisJuly 16, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest gratitude to Chris Foster & his team! I have been wanting to replace our soffit & fascia for years now. My husband and I have owned our home for 28 years now, and we usually tackle one large project a year. After speaking to my friend Gina, Chris came HIGHLY recommended. She introduced us via text, and he was literally over the following day to provide an estimate. Initially I was just asking for an estimate for the soffit/fascia. However, I asked him to look at our flat roof, which I knew needed replacing. Chris was honest and said to us, the flat roof needs attention now. Long story short, we came together and decided we would start with having the roof, part of the soffits along with replacing some rotted wood. There are not enough words of gratitude, praise and peace of mind that Chris and his crew provided. Top notch work, professional, timely, organized and clean. If you are looking for a company that takes pride in their work, look no further!!! West Side Roofing is phenomenal!!! Thank you all so much for a job well done!!!

As a home inspector, I’ve inspected numerous roofs completed by Westside Roofing. Their work is consistently high quality, and Chris is always professional and great to work with. I highly recommend them. Blakemore KearneyJune 22, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough about Chris and West Side Roofing. We had a pretty logistically complicated project doing restoration work to our 1928 bungalow that required tight coordination with the roof replacement and several other roofers didn't really want to take it on. What stood out beyond the technical work of he and his crew was that Chris took the time to really understand what we were trying to achieve. He asked the right questions, offered thoughtful suggestions for improvements we hadn't even considered, and was more of a collaborator than just a contractor showing up to do a job. His crew replaced a large portion of our exposed tongue and groove soffit , added new decking, and installed hurricane straps. His knowledge, attention to detail, and follow-through were second to none. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Victoria KruegerJune 6, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just wanted to post an endorsement for the great roofing company we just utilized. West Side Roofing, located in Safety Harbor, is owned by Chris Foster. We had two companies give us quotes, and although West Side was just slightly higher, we were impressed by the many aspects he covered during his presentation (the need to cover our driveway with tarp and plywood to protect the new pavers from heavy machinery damage, then minimal clean up, alternative vent designs, etc). We put a deposit down and had the project on hold for 4 weeks while we were on a trip and then had company arrive. In the meantime, Chris lined up all the supplies. 5 weeks later the project was started and it took 2 weeks from start to finish! This week we had our final inspection by the City of Clearwater. My husband happened to be home and talked to the inspector who told him that almost any roofer can do a shingle roof well, but it takes a good roofer to do the kind of job we received on our tile roof. We are happy to endorse this company! Gina SignorMay 30, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a longtime native of Clearwater. So, in March, when I noticed signs of a leak that could turn into something much more serious, I knew I had to get ahead of it before the 2026 hurricane season. I conducted a thorough bid process with six reputable, well-established companies, ultimately selecting West Side Roofing. Owner Chris Foster is a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in working on and managing roofing projects. A roof is a major investment. Cost and quality of work were major concerns. Plus, the process can be stressful and disruptive, even under the best of circumstances. Chris took the time to listen to my concerns, icarefully dentify the issues, and help me evaluate all options before implementing the best solution for my needs and budget. He made the entire process feel easy—from permitting to tear-off, installation, and final steps. He also provided a referral for the wind mitigation inspection, which I greatly appreciated. The crew was professional, friendly, and efficient. They were also highly organized, attentive, and considerate. I’ve been through this before, and I’ve never seen a cleaner, more organized job site. They laid tarps around the perimeter and went over everything multiple times with a magnet to catch any stray nails. It was reassuring to work with a local company that understands the unique needs of our community. They are knowledgeable, caring, reliable, committed to quality service and workmanship, and have competitive pricing. The overall experience exceeded my expectations. (In fact, it blew me away.) I feel much more secure heading into hurricane season. The lifetime guarantee on shingles and the 10-year guarantee on workmanship are a huge comfort. I highly recommend Chris Foster and his team at West Side Roofing, Safety Harbor, FL. kelly forrestMarch 13, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. West Side Roofing is the absolute best! Chris was excellent to work with. We got a great price and a fantastic job. I would recommend his company highly to anyone that needs a new roof or repair! Maxwell OberholtzerMarch 7, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris is easily the best contractor I’ve ever dealt with. Quick to answer my calls, quick to get scheduled, & provided me options to fix my issue rather than pushing for more work than I could afford at the time. I’ll definitely be calling him for future work~Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
