High quality work and good communication
We hired Jason to do our roof in December 2016. The initial quote was $15,000 provided the roof was in good shape when the shingles came off. The roof was not in good shape. There were four layers of shingle (instead of two which is code), the roof had no insulation at all and was re-insulated, the beams and boards were rotten (which explains the leak that started it all) and had to be replaced, the sloped roof had to be re-sloped to stop pooling, and there were two custom skylights that had to be replaced, as well a vents installed, soffet, fascia and eavestroughs redone. Jason called us and explained everything that had to be done, with photos and a revised quote of $28,000. The work went ahead. We hired Peter Yeates our trusty home inspector to review the work and sign off in the end since we do not know anything about roofs. Peter said the work was very well done and flagged one minor issue about an eavestrough. Jason dealt with that to our satisfaction and we are happy.

Hello Katheryne and thank you for the kind words and for your business. When we do our inspections, it is challenging in exactly determining the condition of a 100 year old roof structure that has multiple layers of roofing material and that contravenes building codes. We make every reasonable effort to deal with certain unknowns but some roofs require a major over hall and unfortunately yours was one of them. From carpentry work on the flat roof, rebuilding and re-sloping of overhangs, insulating the entire roof structure, new skylights and aluminum to overhangs of eaves, etc. I want to thank you for your commitment in doing the job right and in compliance with the Building Code. I am confident that you will notice a reduction in your energy costs now that the roof is properly insulated and waterproofed. All the best in the future. Jason Hunter Canadian Roofing Company Ltd.
