Jesse is the best!! I had an issue with a leak due to my chimney flashing and other roofing damage. After weeks of searching for the best roofing company, I decided to call Bergens. Jesse came out within the hour to assess the problem. He showed me pictures of issues, gave me a great, reasonable quote, and came back with his crew within a few days to complete the repairs. He and his crew were very professional, cleaned up the work area, and showed me pictures of the completed work. He gave me thorough explanations of what was done. I highly recommend Bergens and they are people you can trustI will be calling them for all my future roofing needs.

Working with Bergens was a great experience from the quoting process to the finished product.
Drake came out for the quote, and arrived on time. I had lots of questions especially about fortified roofs during the quoting process, and Drake was quick to respond. He is clearly passionate about roofing and is well educated on the materials and processes.
Blain, Brian, and the install crew were fantastic. Everyone on the install team was courteous and had a clear focus on detail.
I highly recommend Bergens Roofing to anyone considering a roof replacement.

We had a careless neighbor cutting down trees on the lot next to our house and one fell on the roof right above my babys nursery! Jesse and his team got out here and finished the job in under 4 days. They replaced the whole corner of the roof and even had to do interior work. They put down floor protection and covered everything in the room before doing the spackling and sanding to the ceiling. They cleaned up after themselves. They communicated exceptionally well and worked around our hectic schedule with ease. I would highly recommend Jesse and his team for any job, big or small. Its hard to find good people who actually care and they checked all the boxes. Thanks, Jesse!

A pine tree had fallen onto the house damaging the roof and ceiling. A few hours later a thunder storm passed trough and created water damage as well. The insurance company was immediately notified and they sent a crew to do mitigation and a contractor to inspect the damage and create an estimate on the cost of repairs. In the meantime, the tree was removed and a roofing company the tree service was familiar with put up a tarp to prevent further water damage.
Unfortunately, a few days later the rains came again and the tarp failed to keep water from entering the house. I looked up roofers in Slidell with an A+ rating in the Better Business Bureau's website and found Bergens Roofing. Within 15 minutes of contacting them, Jesse Bergens, founder and owner of the company since 1989, showed up at the door.
All I wanted was to have the tarp improved upon to prevent further leaks. I was at the time considering using the contractor from Baton Rouge the insurance company worked with to do the roof and interior repairs, but was not yet committed to a contract.
Jesse immediately saw deficiencies in the workmanship of the tarp and further inspection showed him where else the leaks came from. Shortly afterwards he had two of his crew, Luis and Martin, correct the problem.
While he was there, Jesse told me that his company does reconstruction as well as roofing and sold me on the merits of using a local contractor instead of an out of town company. I signed a contract with him and as long as the insurance deductible was met there would be no further expense on my part. That was on a Friday and by the following Monday the ball was rolling.
An estimator from Bergens came and determined there needed to be more repairs than what the estimator sent by the insurance company had calculated. Bergens worked with the insurance company in adjusting the estimate.
Roof repair was first, with the crew working hard well into the night to finish the job. Interior repairs follwed and was completed in a relatively short time, with crews even staying up to midnight working. All of the work was fitted into an already busy schedule and I am very grateful for that. What may have taken a month or more was done in about two and a half weeks. During part of the repair period we had to find alternate accomodations for a week and Jesse advocated for the insurance company paying the motel expenses by providing proof that the house was not suitable to stay in at that time. The insurance company agreed and reimbursed the expense.
With repairs done, one would not know that the house received significant tree and water damage. The Bergens crew have a great work ethic, going above and beyond what is expected.
In the future I hope to put a fortified roof on the house, for which Bergens is a licensed contractor and I will hire them when the time comes. I recommend this company for any roofing and reconstruction work in St. Tammany parish.
Shout out to Jesse Bergens, Luis, Martin, Bruce, Ashley, Cristian, David, Oscar, Alex, Adonis, Douglas and all the others whose names I unfortunately don't remember. It has been great doing business with you.
