Roof repairs

The estimator came out promptly to look at our leaky veranda roof in the fall, but it took a LONG time (over a month) to receive the formal estimate and have the work done. It took several phone calls (and finally one to the vice president), but eventually they came out. The repairs seem to have worked... we've now had a few warm days with melting and, so far, no leaks!

Put the roof on my parents' new house

These guys were very fast. They did the whole job in about a half a day. I saw them show up in the morning and when I came back at noon they were almost done. I wish I had stayed around to see them work. Pretty impressive. The lines on the shingles were not as straight as I usually see, but it's really not noticeable. There were no leaks, so that's what matters.

siding, sophits, facia, eavestroughs, front veanda

Started this project in july and was told the siding job was approximately 4 days. Demolition certainly went fast and crew was knowledgeable and very pleasant. However, kept running out of material because apparently the salesman "always under orders"....Had to wait each time but the longest was a six week wait to finish one side of the house. Meanwhile our front lawn and small special garden died. Only some calls were answered and it was always "the end of the week". Material finally arrived and half way through it turns out that two types of material were sent. Then we find out that the majority of our house was done in material that has been discontinued so either they rip everything off and start agian or just finish this one side with slighlly different material. We said just finish the side and then get on to the sophits etc. This happened. However, the sophits for the front of the house (in the veranda) was "short" again. Not only did we wait the 6 week for the siding that was different but over 6 weeks now for the sophits. The veranda was started but cannot be finished until this is completed. Here it is November 2nd an it is still incomplete. Two days ago a package of something showed up on our lawn in the snow but has not been used as of yet. Can't use the front door for last month. Was a hazard if halloweening children came by so we had to block it off and pretend we weren't at home to keep them away. We looked into this company and saw so many great reviews but we've had extremely bad luck. Sure the guys are friendly when they come but if they only come every 6 weeks and now it's winter....
This should have been totally complete by my birthday in mid August...need I say that I am very angry?
I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy...total disaster. We chose the most expensive finishes and even that didn't make a difference.

New roof shingles

They did an excellent job from start to finish. I highly recommend this company for this service. After 2 days the complete roof was finished, and there was no evidence that they were even there except for a brand new roof.

Reshingled my roof

My roof suffered damage during a windstorm and the repair was done as an insurance claim (I paid the deductible). Great Canadian Roofing was recommended by the insurance company. They informed ahead of time of when supplies would be delivered and when they would start work. They provided written guidelines of how I should prepare the house and yard for the work. They showed up when they said they would. When they were finished, they left the yard clean - I have found no roofing materials in the yard. They were quick and efficient - the job was done in just over a day (they would have been done in a day but ran short of one type of material). Most of the work was done while I was at work but I did meet the crew the second morning and they were polite and well presented. The only reason I am not giving the company 5 out of 5 is I have nothing to compare this against and I have an aversion to giving top rating except in cases of exceptional, one in a million, above and beyond, service.

Replaced some Siding

The work was good but it did take some time, and a few phone calls to get them out. They kept saying they were coming. It was a busy time for them and our siding issue was not an emergency. Otherwise we were happy.

Re-Roofing - Shingles

We had a good experience when getting our roof re-shingled with Great Canadian Roofing. The man who came out to do the free estimate was very knowledgeable and helpful when deciding the type of shingles. The job was completed efficiently and the workers did a great job on cleaning up any debris. We are very happy with the look and quality of the new roof.

Approximate cost of services:
$3,500.00

home re-roofing

Once my insurance company gave the go ahead, Great Canadian completed the job very efficiently. Shingles were delivered on Thursday and the crew arrived on Sunday completing the new roof on Monday. Minor defiencies were completed to my satisfaction.

New roof for house

We did not think that we needed a new roof for a few years. However rainy weather told us something different. Upon getting a number of quotes we went with this reputible company. We were very keen to get this done before the snow fell. Unfortunatly it was I who had to continually call and check on the status of our roof. They tried to push us off till the next year, but we were having none of it. We held fast and got our roof in time. Too bad for the company, the estimator did not caluculate the entire size of our roof. The company asked us to pay the difference, we were on a tight budget so we held firm at our aggreed to price. The company continued to get us to pay more, but eventually bit the bullet. The workmanship was great. with pleasant installers. Clean up was fine, still finding roofing supplies on the ground, but what can you do. Overall a great job.
