Late December 2009 water started leaking in our 3rd floor bedroom. Not knowing what to do, I searched the Canpages and found Academia Roofing.
I chose Academia because it boasted a motto of "Our goal is to earn a referral from each and every client" and encouraged one the check their history.
Gordon Bailey came quickly and did a inspection of my attic. What he found was quite shocking for a 10 year new home.
1. Snow had built up inside the attic from improperly installed roof vents that actually pulled snow into the attic.
2. The roofing plywood had stains from water leaking in around the roofing nails
3. The bathroom fans were not venting properly
4. One section of the attic did not have adequate insulation
Gordon explained and pointed out each issue and the resulting damages they were causing.
The total job required:
-removal of the old, soaked insulation
-installation of new fiberglass insulation
-installation of blow insulation
-installation of spray foam insulation
-removing the old venting
-installing a new single roof vent
-installation of new bathroom venting and insulating the bathroom venting tubes to prevent condensation in the attic
-new shingles installed over the old (cost savings to me)
Gord's crew worked professionally and courteously. The work area was always left clean and tidy.
The results have been great. My third floor is now much warmer in the winter and my heating bill has been lowered. The roof has shown no signs of leaking and the new shingles look great.
Gordon has been a pleasure to work with I will recommend Academia Roofing to anyone.
