Roof Replacement and Attic Insulation

We were told my neighbours we needed our roof repaired. After calling one company and getting a quote that they would not honour - our even negotiate - we heard the ads on Talk 1010 NEWS RADIO and decided to give them a call. This company was professional all the way - from the original meeting at our home - to the visit to their office - to the quality of work provided while the job was being completed. The crew arrived when they said they would - or advised if there would be a delay. They worked efficiently and professionally - always cleaning up at the end of the day. Suggestions were made as to what we needed - AND WHY. I would highly recommend this company when looking for roofing or attic insulation. - Sharon and Ron

installed entire new roof on our renovated house

Let it Rain installed the roof on our completed renovated and gutted home 4 years ago. We noticed this spring that my son's bedroom ceiling had a water stain. A review of the attic showed a problem with the flat roof they installed on our house and mold in the rafters. Obviously an ongoing problem. Another roofing company went up and documented the bad workmanship, temporarily patched up the problem within 1 day, 3 days later Let it Rain finally returned my call and sent a crew over. They agreed that I had a leaky roof and we never heard from them again......

New roofing system (shingles, ridge vent, flashing...)

Let It Rain replaced our roof shingles with 40 year GAF shingles. The team took about 3 working days to get the job done, but it was spread over a week due to heavy rain. The quality of their work was very good. We had to ask them back to paint over some of the flashing that reduced the "curb appeal" of the house and there are still some old nails that we're finding on the driveway, but we think that's just part of getting a new roof. Let It Rain provided us with a 10 year workmanship warranty and GAF gave us a 20 year manufacturer's warranty, so we feel protected. I would recommend this company to other homeowners for the sheer fact that they do quality installation of quality products at a reasonable price.

Flashing repair + exhaust hood install

Unfortunately, I had a roof leak.. GREAT...

It was leaking around the flashing of the chimney, right onto a beautiful plaster ceiling and crown moulding. The damage is minimal, and luckily, inspection behind the wall revealed no significant damage or mould.

So, on to the roof fix - These guys quoted, were very competitive, and understood what had to be done, and they came VERY quickly! Not only that, the repair was done seamlessly. I couldn't tell WHERE the repair was!!

New singles were added, but matched so well. The only way I could tell was that the flashing was new, and the nails poking through the boards on the underside were new!

The old flashing was poorly done, and the new one was carefully crafted.

I also asked for them to install a roof vent for my kitchen exhaust. I put a screw threw the roof of where I wanted it (I wasn't home to tell them where I wanted it), and when I came home after work, it was done! A nice 10" compatible kitchen fan exhaust (I was connecting the ducting inside myself, I don't climb roofs!).

I'm very happy with the work, and unfortunately, I'm due for a roof soon - and I will certainly have them do the work. I have no doubt that they'll do a great job.

Also, there was NO mess. Nothing for me to clean. I was very happy about that.

Roof & Venting

We replaced our roof last year. My Etobicoke/Lakeshore neighbourhood is full of single story bungalows that represent a challenge for ventilation as access to the soffits requires going through brick. We got 8 quotes from companies like: [Competitor name removed--Ed] etc. We insisted on a GAF or Certainteed laminated shingle. We had quotes as low as $7,000 and a ridiculous $15,500 from [Competitor name removed--Ed].

Dave [last name removed--Ed] from Let It Rain provided the most thorough quote with complete brochures explaining all the different products that were being used in the entire roofing system. He supplied us with a very unique venting system called "The Edge" - a 1/4 inch vent that is installed the length of the house 3 feet from the base and propels air through the ridge vent. The quality and craftsmanship from the workers was outstanding and after a full year of having our year I am delighted with our purchase.

We found that their quote was in the middle of our highest and lowest but they provided the best value. We got the ridge vent, Edge vent, 40 year laminate GAF shingles, upgraded barrier underneath, drip edge and crickets for our chimneys. In addition, we got a 20 year unlimited warranty on the product and installation! GAF dropped by this past month and did an inspection and re-confirmed the warranty.

After getting so many quotes and meeting so many roofing companies, I honestly believe you'll find no better company to provide you with a high quality roof with good value for your money. Dave's followup and attention to detail will make you feel like you are valued customer and that no job is too big or small.

You'll hear about these guys on CFRB. My neighbour was so impressed he got a new roof from them as well. I highly recommend this company.

Roof

We received a quote from them. It was very detailed and helpful, but the price was the highest of all the quotes. We ended up going with another company that was much less expensive for a quality installation.

roofing, eavestroughing & exterior waterproofing

Roofing was done without a hitch and solved the water leak problem. Installtion of troughing is quite simple but these guys went above and beyond by doing some waterproofing/caulking and making many reasonable suggestions for additional improvements that were not meant as an upsell. We have recommend to others with positive experinces and we will use them on occassion in the future.

New roofing

I choose the company Let it rain to replace my existing shingle roof. They removed the existing roof, replaced the existing wood planks that were not in good condition, then installed a new membrane and new shingles.

The quality of their work is excellent and it is done quickly (which is critical).

This company makes sure that the client is totally satisfied (they do a follow-up).

I cannot recommand enough them. So, they fully deserved the highest note.

Roof, siding, soffit, fascia, eavesthrough

We hired Let it Rain 3 years ago to do our roof and found them very knowlegdeable. They made recommendation to improve our roof and ventilation. They were on time, on schedule and on budget.

We recently contracted them to do the siding, soffit, fascia, and eavestrough on our house and once again found them to be knowledgable and flexible. They made some good recommendation about the work to be done.They were flexible on our choice of material which is not widely used because it is harder to install. At our request they amended the agreement to include all of the details we wanted to add (including drawings we made). The work was done promptly and professionally.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Acknowledge receipt of emails as they receive them instead of waiting to obtain the answer before replying. It would sometime take a few days to get a reply because they were waiting for some information - it would be nice to receive a reply saying we are looking into it and will get back to you.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Ask a lot of questions and put all of the details of the work to be done in writing. Leave nothing to chance and don't assume anything. If a company if not willing to put everything in writing walk away. Ensure that their agreement meets the standard set by the consumer protection branch. If they are not familiar with the standard be wary.

Roof Shingles

Dave who gave us an estimate and also explained the technical aspects of roofing and the various options. Dave was well informed, professional and very helpful. The installers were professional and did a great job. I am very happy with the roof. It has been over a year. It was worth the price especially with the harsh weather we've been having.

SERVICES
Shingle Roof: At Let It Rain, we install a wide range of roofing shingles, including cedar, slate and fiberglass asphalt shingles. In addition to protecting your roof, our shingles can also improve the aesthetic value of your home because we offer a wide range of shingle colours and profile options. Insulation & Attic Upgrades Attic or ceiling insulation and roof ventilation are often ignored but have a large impact on the comfort of your home and the life of your roof. Without proper attic insulation and balanced ventilation, your attic will allow heat to escape, creating damaging moisture and ice build up. Let It Rain knows that attic insulation is an important part of the roof system. With a reliable and functional attic, Let It Rain ensures that your roof installation lasts a lifetime. Aluminum Let It Rain’s Aluminum Department offers a range of products and services to enhance the look of your home and protect it from the elements.

SPECIALITIES
What you need to know: The Roofing System consists of three components that should be balanced to work efficiently. The Shingled Roof acts as an umbrella shedding water and snow off the building. Insulation separates the attic from the house interior creating a comfortable home environment and reducing energy consumption. Ventilation moves cool air into the attic and hot air out. It extends the life of the shingles and provides a comfortable living environment
