I live in Cochrane (AB) and the "builder's grade" roof on my 17-year old home needed to be replaced. A neighbour told me about National Star Roofing — her next door neighbour, her daughter and two of her daughter's neighbours had contracted them to replace their roof and had been very pleased with the work done.
I did some online research (BBB, HomeStar) on National Star Roofing and was pleased and impressed with all of the positive reviews. So I contacted them to request a quote. Sokol arrived at the agreed-upon time, discussed roofing options, showed me samples, answered all of my questions and provided me with a detailed estimate. The price quoted was reasonable and competitive and so I asked to proceed with the work.
Two days later, Sokol and a crew of 10 (brothers, cousins, brothers-in-law) showed up at 7 AM (to beat the heat of the forecasted daytime high of 31C). Once the old roof was off (8 AM), a couple of crew members left (to attend to other matters) leaving 8, who managed to install the new roof (underlay, turtle vents, shingles) by 1:30 PM. AMAZING.
It was such a pleasure to deal with Sokol and his crew. All were very hard-working, skilled, efficient, polite, respectful, professional, and attentive to detail. The job was completed in under a day, there was no loud music blaring (no music at all) and they were very good about clean-up — all discarded roofing materials (old shingles, packaging, roof nails) were discarded directly into a garbage bin (on back of company truck) or picked up afterwards and added to the bin.
Thanks for doing such a great job!
