Kovar Roofing a Division of Kovar Contracting Inc.

We contracted Kovar Contracting Inc. to reclad our home in vinyl siding after appropriate repairs to the exterior walls and installing 0.75” insulation, as well as redo all of the eaves – in essence, to ensure the envelope of the house for the next 20 years (windows were replaced earlier this year).

He also replaced our 25-year old wood deck with Azek decking materials and shingled the roof.

We are thrilled with the house’s ‘facelift’.

We are extremely confident that the exterior of the house is now secure and enjoy our new backyard surrounds immensely. Jason took the time to walk us through our choices of siding & shingle colour sand made valuable observations in guiding us in our final choice.

Jason’s siding/eaves contractor, Alex, did most of the work by himself. It was reassuring knowing that all aspects of the job were literally overseen by him personally. Alex ordered materials beyond the scope of the job to ensure that there would be no surprises to delay the completion of the project.

Both Alex and Ben (carpenter) impressed us with their meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Alex always gave us sound advice re: which trims would look best, how to deal with difficult drainage etc. He always arrived early and left late; he seemed to work non-stop.

We unequivocally recommend Kovar Contracting.

Back for more! We decided to give the Kovar crew another try following the great work they did on our gutters/soffit/fascia back in 2016. This time we trusted them with finishing a 400sqft space in the basement --- framing, insulating, drywalling and painting the concrete walls plus creating a 12'x 6' pantry with a drop ceiling. Once again the quoting process was straight forward --- no fluff, no gold plating or pushing for services we didn't need or ask. Getting the job started took some time as they had a few jobs on the go; plus they juggle a few at a time. Communication was a bit tricky a times but otherwise a great experience -- on time and budget. These guys are very easy going and honest. Job site cleaned every night. Thanks Jason, Kevin and Chuck!

We had an emergency situation with ice damning on our roof that was causing a leak in the kitchen. We reached out three companies we found online. Kovar was head and shoulders above the rest. Quick response to our inquiry, showed up on time and did great work. Well done!

A cheap, low-profile roof vent became filled with snow, which melted and left a wet spot on our ceiling. A repair person came to inspect, and recommended replacing the vent with a higher-quality one. The company let me buy the part myself from Home Depot, and the repair person installed it, deducting the cost from the final bill.

So far, I'm quite happy with the quality of the work!

Kovar took on a difficult job that several contractors turned down replacing skylights on a Decra metal roof. These guys gave me a reasonable quote and did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it. Hard working guys in difficult conditions. I have no hesitation recommending Kovar.

Their proposal was very clear about the work that needed to be done and what each aspect would cost. The total price was very competitive with the two other quotes we got. We decided to go with Kovar because they seemed very knowledgeable about how the upgrades should be done to conform to current codes and best practices. Once we accepted their proposal, the crew came promptly and completed the work quickly and very professionally. The work site was left clean and tidy when they finished. We were very pleased with the quality of their work and would definitely recommend them to friends and neighbours.

Kovar Contracting was a delight to work with on a recent project to repair and rebuild our gas fireplace chimney. The team members were all very professional and did a wonderful job of keeping us informed as the project evolved. Definite value for money. We are very pleased with the result. We intend to engage them again in the future.

Professional, on time, on budget, and knowledgable. Never felt pressured to over spend and was given sound and useful guidance. I met with multiple roofing companies and Kovar was by far the best. Don't waste your time elsewhere.

Work was completed ahead of schedule and the finished product is outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend Kovar Contracting.

The team was fantastic. Gave a very good estimate and completed the work efficiently. They tidied up after themselves and it was a positive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend them.
