Skylight replacements

We needed to replace the 33 year old skylights in our Viceroy home. One approx 4 ft by 5 ft, the second unit approx 2.5 ft by 18 ft. Both skylights are in cathedral ceilings and being non standard design required significant restructuring of the roof exterior and the the interior drywall.
We had received proposals from several contractors during the past year, none of which meet our expectations.
We emailed an outline of our requirements to Kovar Contracting. Jason Kovar promptly phoned to set up a meeting. He came, inspected the exterior, the interior, took detailed measurements. Jason asked for a second meeting and brought his colleague Kevin, to review the project with us. A few days later Kovar provided a detailed written proposal for the project. We reveiwed the proposal and accepted it with few changes. In particular we liked Kovar's terms, payment when job is complete.
Kovar Contracting was very good to deal with. Completed the work promptly. Considerate of our home, protecting floors etc. Was very good about dust control when doing the interior ceiling dry wall work. Excellent repainting of the drywall. Very good job of the roof shingle replacement.

Torch-on Membrane Topcoat Roof (150 sq ft balcony)

The job was outstanding. The reply was fast, the work to be done was well-explained, the job was scheduled quickly, and the crew showed up on time. The job was completed within the specified time and pictures were taken of the meticulous work. All in all, a very professional and first class job. This I consider to be money well spent and I would not hesitate to have the same company back for another job.

Roof replacement and updating eavestroughing

The work was done extremely well and on time, under extreme circumstances (e.g. 40C, & rain) - Jason and the crew took longer than the planned 2 days but thundershowers played havoc with the schedule. The roof was sealed at all times and there were no leaks. While we were away, Jason and crew made sure that the flyers etc were put away so that it looked like we were home (thank you for that). He also sent me photos on the progress being made, since we were out of town while the worl was done
I would recommend jason and crew to anyone looking for roofing and eavestrough work to be done

Eavestrough and downspouts

Alex from Kovar Contracting installed new eavestrough and downspouts to my home. He was very meticulous with his work and very courteous. I asked if he could have two of the downspouts run directly into my rain barrel and he said that would not be a problem. He did an amazing job at lining them up perfectly. I highly recommend Alex.

Roof re-shingled

We were very happy with Kovar Contracting, who re-shingled our roof. Jason was very helpful in explaining what would be done and answering any questions during the estimate and project completion. The crew did a great job and again answered any questions we had while they were on site. The job took a bit longer than expected due to weather, but was worth the wait. We would recommend this company to any of our friends.
