Repaired flat roof

Gordon and his team did a very good job repairing our roof and fixing what another company had not done properly. They were punctual, cleaned up after themselves and were reasonably priced.

New Roof

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gordon Bailey of Academia Roofing for his professional and compassionate manner. Due to health issues, we were forced to sell our home. Unfortunately, we had difficulty selling it due to the condition of the roof. We contacted many roofing companies for estimates but when Gord came to assess the roof he demonstrated the most knowledge and expertise. He fully explained what needed to be done and he informed us of issues that the other roofing companies neglected to share with us. True to his word. his crew was out to our home promptly and the job was done with an impeccable cleanup. Due to our financial situation Gord was understanding and allowed us to make payment arrangements for the work he did. We are forever grateful to him and consider him a great friend. Academia Roofing will always come highly recommended by us. Keep up the Great Work.

Quick response, Problem Solved

During a recent rain storm I noticed a stain on my ceiling and found my roof leaking. I called Gord at Academia Roofing & Attics
late in the afternoon and although they were very busy, his partner, Joe arrived within two hours. He examined the entire roof and discovered and quickly repaired my problem.

Mr. Ellison, Thanks for the review and we look forward to replacing the whole roof in the future. Remember that one half of what you paid for the repair is applied towards your deposit on the entire roof replacement.

Roof Inspection

I called Academia Roofing after trying several other roofing contractors who didn't return my calls. I was in need of a roof inpection for my insurance company and Gord was happy to help. His inpection was extremely thorough and meticulous and even went beyond the roof and attic. He noticed other areas of my home that required attention and suggested I get those addressed too. In the end, there were some minor fixes to be done (a turbine vent) and his report was concise and comprehensive. He sent me a PDF and I was able to forward that to my insurer with plenty of time to spare. Thanks Gord, your responsiveness and expertise was greatly appreciated and I would not hesitate to recommend you.

Very Happy

Assisted Review

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.

A belated appreciation for the new roof and your friendly and professional approach to it. Of course, I was shocked at your initial estimate which was higher than others we had consulted. But the more you explained about the importance of ventilation and the need to create channels for the movement of air under the roof the more sense it made. Jobs done at neighbours' houses by other companies were cheaper, but much less thorough. The crew was friendly, efficient, and on schedule. We're very happy with the results, and have not hesitated to recommend Academia to colleagues and friends.

Lee, it is always a shock to most client's at first when the cost to do a proper, full specification, long lasting job is not explained, However, educated consumers like yourself, that do their homework will always see the value in buying the job and not the price. We are very grateful that you chose us and decided to undertake a roofing and attic system that will "Stand the Test of Time"

Shingles and vent replaced

I lost some shingles and a vent in a recent wind storm, and found Academia quickly online. Gord walked me through the process and advised me of the work that would be done to fix current problem, as well as the added assessment of the roof's condition as a whole. Gord is very knowledgeable in his field, and I quickly felt comfortable and confident in the company's ability to deal with my roofing problem. Joe came out and fixed the roof promptly, and soon after that, I was updated on the condition of my roof. Overall a great experience and smooth transaction, and I will definitely be recommending Academia Roofing and Attics to others.

Kate the reason you lost those shingles in the wind storm was due to improper nailing, the shingle nails were placed in the wrong location. Unfortunately we will likely be back again and this is not what one would expect with a 5 year young roof. Thank-you for your review and we hope we can help you as quickly the next time.

Roof repairs

We want to thank Gord and Joe of Academia Roofing & Attics. They were very professional. They arrived within 30 minutes of my phone call, and immediately got to work identifying and fixing our problem. They also took time to inspect the rest of our roof and inside our attic, and made some additional recommendations on what we can do to make further improvements and prevent future problems from occurring.

Roof repair

We would like to thank Gordon Bailey of Academia roofing for his quick response repairing our roof. After a windstorm a week ago some of our shingles and a roof vent blew off. At a friend's recomendation we called Gord and he was quick to respond. Our roof was repaired that day by his employee Joe. Everything was explained to us prior to the work being done
in a professional and courteous manner.
We have since recommended Academia roofing to other neighbours and will use this company again for any further roofing repairs.

Roofing

We couldn't be happier with the service received from Gordon (Academia Roofing). He helped us in so many ways, always in a friendly and professional manner leaving us feeling that we were taken care of and all our needs served. It did not matter what time it was or what he was doing, he always gave us the time of day to review and address our concerns. He not only helped us with installing a new roof but helped deal with many other issues in the home that needed fixing and upkeep. We now have a 30 year old home that feels new. He was not the cheapest quote from the companies we interviewed for the work on our house, however, there were absolutely no issues with the work he provided us and the results left us with a comforting impression that he is our friend and welcome to our home and certainly welcome to work on any projects involving renovations in the future. He is insightful, full of novel ideas and always attacks every problem with both an open mind and an analytical approach. My husband is a physician and extremely meticulous in all his dealings and was relieved that Gordon took care of all our needs with respect to our home. I would strongly recommend him for any work that home owners need and have recommended him to our network of friends. Thank you Gordon for your excellent work and being someone that we could trust and count on.

Consulting work. emergency repairs and pest control

We had several issues with our builder and roofer (not Academia), which lead to several issues with our roof and ventilation of the attic.

Gordon (and Joe) were able to provide us with extremely helpful independent advice and discover issues with our home that no other consultant had discovered at the time.

We also had subsequent issues with racoons and squirrels in our attic due to having to take off our improperly vented soffits. Gordon and his team (Joe and George) were again the only company who showed up to assist with fixng this issue.

Despite just being our consultants, they actually cared about us and our family and were available when needed (without hesitation). Academia is run by a capable and honest group of people. We are thankful for all their help in a bad situation.

Lew, we really hope your situation gets resolved quickly. It is very unfortunate that the people you put your faith in did not perform their due dilligence. We are very sympathetic as this should not have happened to good, decent people like you and your family. Thank-you for writing about us and we honestly hope we can always be there for you and your family when needed.
