Replacing shingles, roof vents, and flashing
We obtained 4 estimates for redoing the roof on our semi-detached (shared job with neighbour) and Juff's was in the middle. Juff's stood out because they (Shay) took the time to explain all of the details of the products and methods they use and why they are using them (with pictures and samples). They were also the only company that went through the yard cleanup logistics with me: where to place the bin, protecting our garden, etc. So that's why we went with them.
As for the job itself, it went really smoothly. They delivered a flyer a couple days before the job which outlined how to prepare for it. They protected the areas they said they would and even took the time to move some of the things I had forgotten out of the way (BBQ, planters, etc). The job took 2 days, and when they left, you could barely tell they were here (aside from the much nicer looking roof).
Only one small thing: when they were removing the old shingles on the extension/mudroom, a piece of the glass cover for the light on the ceiling inside shook loose and fell down (causing it to break). However, there were 4 or 5 layers of old shingles on that roof which they had to remove, so it's understandable how that could have happened. The damage was pretty minor: I was able to glue it together and put it back in place. Not a big deal.
Anyways, I went up on the main roof to have a look (both before and after) and the new roof vents look to be much better quality. The new shingles look good and the flashing around the chimney also looks a lot better. I'm looking forward to not having anymore leaks in that area (so far so good).
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the job and would recommend Juff's to others.
