In 1979, Brad Mills pulled into the little mountain town of Truckee in his pickup truck with his new wife, Cathy. Remember the 70's? Those were crazy days in California. He drove up to the first house he saw being built and asked if they needed a roofer - viola! Mills Roofing was born! Brad and Cathy were a roofing team, literally hammering on shingles together, until she decided she'd rather take care of the office side of things. The challenge was learning the ins and outs of how the Tahoe weather affects homes.
Tahoe, Truckee, and surrounding areas have some of the toughest weather and roofing conditions in the world. Roof replacement contractor Mills Roofing has more than 40 years of roof replacement and installation experience in this harsh climate. We are experienced with all roof types and will work with you to help you find the perfect roofing solution for your home or business.
Metal roofing is by far the most durable roofing material and Mills Roofing's specialty. Metal roofs are the best for standing up to snow and ice. Metal can be used on an entire roof or on selected sections to prevent stubborn ice damage. A variety of metal roofing types and colors are available to help complement your home's exterior.
Composition roofing comes in a variety of styles, strengths, and color blends to help compliment your home's exterior. Shingle roofing is affordable and offers extensive variety. Mills Roofing takes pride as the leader of composition roofing contractors in the greater Tahoe area. A composition roof (or shingle roof) is the most popular and cost effective roofing option that Mills Roofing provides. Composition roofing is made up of fiberglass reinforced matting coating with mineral fillers and coated with asphalt, which makes it waterproof.

Once again Mills Roofing has come through for us, taking care of a very difficult roof shoveling job, which included a considerable amount of ice! We have used Mills Roofing for several years for inspections, maintenance, snow removal and repairs. We are very pleased with the services! The crew is professional and well-trained and they bring all the safety equipment and tools required to get the job done. We highly recommend Mills Roofing!

I had an emergency stemming from significant snow resulting in a persistent slow leak. Obviously, this was a busy time due to the heavy snow storm and continued snow but I waited a week after being told they were booking 2 days out. With that said, once booked, they arrived early considering they are coming from ~hour away in good weather. The 2 gentleman were very thorough and amazingly fast considering the amount of snow on the roof. In the approx 4 hours they were here, they updated me a couple of times and then reviewed what they had done before they left.

We have used Mills Roofing both to shovel our roof and to repair damage that was done during the last big storm we had. the work they did on our home and a rental property was so professional, customer focused, and timely, that we have asked them to shovel the roofs on both homes this December after the heavy storm dumped so much snow. The crew, once again, was timely, strong in communicating, professional and did an outstanding job.

I would like to single out Zac, crew chief, who had the home with the most snow and big, heavy icicles that needed to be carefully removed. Zac keep me appraised of the estimated time it would take, when they reported in and when they finished and was able to answer all of my questions. Mills is a customer focused company who hires employees who are both competent and friendly-great combination. I highly recommend Mills for any and all of your roofing needs.

Roof snow removal: We are very happy with the work Mills Roofing did for us. Their crew arrived on time, set up their safety procedures (harnesses etc), and got straight to work. They were personable, efficient, and professional from start to finish. In the past, we've paid nearly as much for uninsured and untrained men to spend a lot more time on our roof. It's a risky business standing on a two-story, snow/ice covered roof. Leave it to the pros and hire Mills Roofing!

Mills Roofing exceeded my expectations throughout the entire experience. From my initial contact with the office staff, timely scheduling, and through the efficient billing process. And all of this within a 2-day service window following our epic snow storms, which left many contractors too impacted to respond to telephone calls and email requests.

The crew, lead by Francisco, was in a league of their own: professional, courteous, with a level of customer service rarely seen today. The work of removing heavy ice dams, roof shoveling, and treatment of ceiling moisture caused by two separate issues, were able to be addressed by this knowledgeable crew. I not only received an explanation and photos of all services, but was "educated" about my roof. Explanations were presented in a manner that was clear enough for even a person unfamiliar with most roofing issues to gain a comfortable understanding.

I am confident in the work completed and, going forward, fortunate to have such an outstanding resource for any future concerns. I give Mills Roofing a 10 our of 10! I recommend them, without reservation, to anyone looking for roofing services in the areas they serve.

I used them for snow removal off my roof. I was very impressed with their work ethic and professionalism. They kept me informed of what they were doing and when. They took the time to answer all my questions and let me know the status of their work. They did a great job and I will use them again without question for my any more roofing needs.

Mills Roofing did a great job on our metal roof tune-up. They scheduled us for the spring, but had a late fall cancellation and squeezed us in before the winter. They did the job quickly, on time, and on budget. Services: Roof repair, Roof inspection

This company is the most professional and knowledgeable about the roofing industry. I own a community management company and have 43 years of experience. I've been educated more by Mills Roofing than all the other roofers I've worked with. The work on my roof is amazing. No overspray on plants or house. It looks great. I highly recommend Mills roofing and the Roof Maxx team. Great job!

Thank you very much Mill's roofing. Thank you Brad, Zach and Nathan and all the others who helped. I needed a roof replacement project and ended up going with a metal standing seam in Truckee. Brad accommodated me in December when an opening of good weather appeared one week. This is a very busy time for roofers and I do really appreciate the accommodation made. The roof came out excellent and looks great. I highly recommend Mill's Roofing for your roofing needs. They have the skill and knowledge to make the repairs. Sincerely, Matt

Mills installed my new roof in Dec of 2020. There were some minor issue at the roof eaves which was noticed after the install. Turns out to address it, they had to remove half of the roof and re-install a new one. Major cost impact on their side to make a customer happy. I can only highly recommend Mills Roofing, excellent customer service!

We've used Mills Roofing at our Truckee home for at least three roofing projects, and their work is fantastic! Highly recommended! They repaired our chimney cap (crushed by excessive snowfall), closed up holes in our eaves from the birds trying to access the attic, and applied a coating to our roof shingles to extend the life of the roof for another 5-10 years. Because this is not our primary home, Mills' turnkey approach was incredibly helpful! Super professional, easy to deal with! Thank you to Mills Roofing!

Mills Roofing is the best ever. From the starting estimate by Brad Mills to the finished product his team including Nathan, Miguel, Ernie and the rest were super professional, honest, meticulous, quick and efficient. It was a pleasure to have them place a new metal roof and repair the work of a previous roofer. If you want to have your roof done correctly with a great team of workers, use Mills Roofing.

We had some wind damage last winter which was quickly and efficiently repaired by Mills Roofing. But they also found some underlying problems with the rest of the roof. We now have a beautiful new metal roof of the latest design with a 40 year warranty. Mills Roofing was professional and responsive throughout the entire process. They responded to all our phone calls and sent us color samples to help us pick the roof color. After they were done, they cleaned up the area around the cabin in Soda Springs perfectly. Another 5-star review for Mills Roofing.

We would like to thank the terrific team at Mills Roofing for helping us to maintain the 20 buildings in Truckee using the Roof Maxx roof treatment. As a team, you came forward on late notice and got our repairs done, treated the roof and came in under budget. The communication throughout the process was excellent. Thank You to the entire team. We are delighted with the Platinum service!

The Mills team replaced my old shake roof with a new metal roof 5 months ago. They did not just replace it, they corrected areas of my roof structure to make sure water and snow will shed properly for years to come. The craftsmanship and quality of the work was outstanding, their communication throughout the process was fantastic and all members of the crew were courteous and helpful when I had questions.

I truly appreciated the level of professionalism and quality I received from Brad, Cathy, Jeremy and Dawn and considering the importance of a durable, long lasting roof in the west end of Donner lake, I would highly recommend them for any roofing project.

Brad, I kept my roof shoveled, I have pictures that show your contact commitment to put ice &water shield completely over the plywood build up before the metal was done only one edge of roof, over the front door dormer, the plywood came up almost short 3 inches of meeting at the top, only covered with a layer of ice & water shield that broke down because it created a valet that allowed water to settle and brake down that area allowing water to seep in, screws were found rusted out in that area because of this water collection, around the wood stove pipe, the flashing used to seal was put on top of the metal roof with no seal around the pipe and also on the furnace vent, there were also area where the metal panels did not reach to the edge of the roof over the trim, all of this was seen by the contractor I used to replace your installed roof, a metal roof should last more then the 13 years before it started leaking, I did not allow Ice dams to build up!

We had a great experience working with Mills Roofing. We originally contacted them in the fall of 2017. They communicated that the work could not be completed due to weather delays until 2018. They honored their word and installed our new roof in the summer of 2018. Communication with Brad and Jeremy was good and the work crew was professional. I would recommend Mills Roofing.

Mills Roofing cleared snow off our (second) home last winter when it was looking seriously overburdened. Gave a price, did what they said they would. Since we wanted to re-roof, we asked for an estimate for a metal roof. They explained it would probably be Spring of 2018. They contacted us when all the snow was melting in January and said they were trying to schedule some of the roofs if the weather held. We replied that we were quite open on the timing. They did the roof in a few days, cleaned up, took care of the permits and final inspection. It looks great.

Brad Mills and his team are top shelf professionals. From our first phone call to the completion of our roof it was the best experience I've ever had with a contractor. Brad took his time to explain everything clearly and made suggestions that resulted in us having a roof that was even better than we had imagined it could be. I can highly recommend Mills roofing for any work that you may need done and I'm glad to have such a reliable and skilled roofing team available in the area. Thanks Brad and Mills Roofing!

We are going to be using Mills Roofing this Spring to install a new metal roof. Brad Mills took the time to have a lengthy conversation with my husband (prior to is buying a home that needs a new roof) and went into great detail regarding what type of roof we should replace our existing roof with and the reasons behind it. We look forward to working with them.

Thank you so much Mills Roofing! You all are amazing and we appreciate you helping us in the midst of an emergency! Literally woke up to a cracking rafter from all the heavy weight of the snow and after making many phone calls you were the company that responded the fasest to our problem. You all went above and beyond. You even got the wood and came in to our house and supported the rafter for us. We are very greatful. Again thank you!

Mills helped us out during this epic snowy winter of January 2016. We noticed a leak around our wood stove chimney. Mills was able to come out on the first clear day after the storms and both diagnose and fix the problem. 2 weeks later, just spent a few nights at the house and no leak to be seen. They were very helpful and courteous from start to end. I'll definitely call them in the future for any maintenance and when we need a new roof in truckee.

This review is overdue, but at least now we have the benefit of a full winter with our new roof. Mills installed a new composite roof and gutters. They gave us good advice when they came to bid the job, and showed up when they said they would The crew was very professional, and the foreman supervised them well. The roof turned out great. They used quality materials, and all the details were done right. We've had our new roof for almost a year now, and it still looks great. We did have an issue with the seam in our gutter leaking, but they sent someone to fix it promptly

My home roof and garage roof are adjacent to each other. In a normal winter the snow would create an ice dam between the two and we'd have to watch for falling chunks of the ice - very dangerous. In December I got estimates from several contractors for roof modification or ice-melting devices. All estimates were upwards of $4,500. Then Brad of Mills Roofing came out for an estimate.

He spent the time to study the problem and came up with a clever solution that cost only $1,300. His workmen were there the next day and they did an excellent job. Ice dam gone!

I highly recommend Brad and Mills Roofing. We had ice dam issues at our Truckee home that was causing water intrusion. Brad answered his phone at 6:30am and had a crew out at the house within hours to take care of the problem.

We just had our roof done in Kings Beach and are thoroughly satisfied and pleased. We contacted several roofers and not only did Mills call back, they arrived on time for a scheduled estimate with plenty of information and samples so we could make a decision easily. Their strength is communication. They keep in touch through phone and emails and keep to a promised schedule. They are professional and reliable and did a super job of doing the work in a timely fashion with absolutely no mess left behind. High recommend them!
