An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.
Brent Reigner of Upper Canada Roofing Company applied on a new high-end roof on my home in the fall
of 2010.
My house is worth ballpark $2 million and has a very complex roof, is in a nice district, so the
quality and appearance for re-sale are very important to me – not just functionality.
My choice of materials, after consulting with Brent, was Certaineed Grand Manor Colonial
Slate which can be seen at:

Its excellent product BTW, very 3-dimensional, thick and a very slate-like appearance.
Brent came highly recommended by a former employee who was once also a high-end cedar
roofer. The shingle manufacturer's rep also spoke very highly of him.
Bottom line is Brent and his guys did a perfect job. It looks excellent with many technical
details which are far beyond the average job. Clean-up was perfect daily.
It has been a year now, with much heavy snow and ice on the roof and no leaks. The
aesthetics are superb. Both the workmanship and materials get my highest rating – and I am
an experienced builder. This is not my first new roof!
Brent’s colleague also did eaves troughs for me very reasonably.
I replaced a cedar roof with high-end asphalt with Brent’s agreement, even though he is a
cedar specialist and cedar would have cost less than what I chose. My reasons had mainly to
do with abundant trees surrounding my house and constant wet leaves on the roof.
Brent is an honest guy and can be totally trusted in a business arrangement. He is meticulous
and extremely proud of his skilled knowledge and workmanship. He goes way beyond
“sufficient” to “doing it right.” There are many cheaper short cuts available in roofing and
Brent does not take them. I’d give his work a rating of 11 on a scale of 10.
On thing: Brent does not show up in a business suit and shiny sedan. He is all-work and looks the part, as does his pick-up truck. If you need an MBA-grad to give you a quote, look elsewhere and pay too much for worse work. I know of what I speak!
Look past the appearances and get the job done RIGHT by the rare tradesman who is meticulous and professional, waaay beyond the norm.
