ROOF - replacement of asphalt shingles, gutters & downspouts

Jason and team did an excellent job from beginning to end. Quote was accurate and thorough, and made great use of technology. It was also cost-competitive. The materials used were high quality and came with really good warranties. The workmanship was amazing - Jamie, Alex and their crews did really high quality work and kept the site spotlessly clean. It was a pleasure to work with Kovar, and we would recommend them without hesitation!

Gutter Guards and Downspouts

Alex did the work over a couple of days. He was very personable and did a fantastic job. Dealt with Jason for the quote and billing, he was quick to respond and always a pleasure to deal with.

Siding replaced, roofing replaced and eavestrough added

I purchased my 100+ old home in Almonte last year, knowing that I would need to replace the siding (it was very outdated and tired looking). After receiving two quotes, I chose to go with Kovar Contracting, as they were much more reasonability priced, and their reviews were excellent.
Kevin and Alex were assigned to the job, and were outstanding to deal with. They worked very hard and had to endure the nastiest weather April 2017 could dish out daily. There were several very high peaks on the house, and they worked together safely and seamlessly to get the job done. I also expanded the scope and had them do some roof replacement where needed and also add eavestroughing everywhere. The eavestrough colour was matched perfectly to the house and looks great. I am extremely pleased with the job they did and would not only recommend Kovar Contracting but plan to use them again myself if/when the need arises!! Thank-you for your dedication and professionalism Kevin and Alex!!! It was a true pleasure doing business with you!

Roofing and insulation

My husband and I are very pleased with the work that was done. All the workers arrived as scheduled and were also polite and friendly. Everything was left clean and tidy when they left. I would have no problem recommending Jason and his team to others.

Kitchen ceiling leak

We suddenly had a small leak in our kitchen ceiling after a strong rainstorm. I called around to various roofing companies, but most of them were either too busy, too expensive or didn't even bother to return my call. Jason promptly returned mine, his price was right and, even though they were quite busy at the time, his foreman Alex dropped by early in the morning on his way to another worksite to inspect the situation in order to write up an estinate. He quickly discovered that the flashing had been improperly installed during construction - even shooting some photos to show me the details without having to climb up a ladder to see for myself. A few days later I approved the estimate that was emailed to me, and the next week Alex showed up and completed the work without my even having to be there. This company is very professional, attentive to detail, and does what they say they are going to do (a rarity it seems these days). I would have no hesitation using them again or referring them to anyone else.

Skylight Replacement

I hired Kovar Contracting to replace our skylight and noticed a leak in the attic the following winter. I contacted Jason and he came to our house that same day to inspect the leak. As soon as the weather warmed up he brought his crew out and removed and reinstalled the skylight at no cost.

Kovar Contracting was very professional and stood behind their work when there was a problem.

Roof Replacement

I waited before writing this review. A great experience doesn't mean that the product will hold up. We had our roof relaced by Kovar in June 2016. Our experience up front was excellent. Jason is very personable, helpful and knowledgeable. His quote was competitive but no one came close to his upfront explanations, time spent talking about shingle color and quality choices. The roofing team came on time, did a great job cleaning up after and the roof looked great. We had a small issue with water coming between the roof and the eaves trough in a few spots. The team returned in a timely fashion and the fix has held. After a winter of extreme freeze and thaw, several wind storms (we're on a hill) and now a spring with lots of rain, I write this review. The roof has held. No issues to date. We HIGHLY recommend Jason and Kovar.

Vent Replacement

Jason was very helpful and knowledgeable in replacing roof vents that were letting squirrels into our attic. He went out of his way to help find a good pest control company for us as well. He and his crew replaced vents on our very steep roof in the middle of winter to help us evict our unwanted roommates.
