All Can Services

We had a squirrel gnaw off the vent cover of one of the roof vents, which left an exposed opening through our attic. We needed this replaced immediately before it rained. We called around for emergency service but nobody could come for another week to 30 days! Then we called All-Can and spoke to Elvis. He was able to squeeze us in his already busy schedule and came the next morning. We explained we have 5 vents we wanted replaced with rodent-proof vents. When they arrived onsite he determined there where actually 6 vents and he did not change the original quote! They also found a nest of baby squirrels which he removed and are placed at the side of the house right now waiting for mother squirrel to come and get them. (Will call Toronto wild life soon if she doesn't get them.) While they were up there they noticed that the washroom vents were not sealed and they sealed them free of charge. All-Can Services are professional, thorough and honest. We will definitely use All-Can services again in the future and highly recommend them to everyone.

Shortly after taking possession of my house, it had become apparent that the previous owners had not discolosed a known issue regarding a leaky roof above the master bedroom. A colleague referred me to a roofing contractor who came in to fix it. Unfortunately, rather than fixing it, they made the underlying issue worse. They simply plastered caulking around and over the hole, in effect creating a valley where water would be further accelerated through my roof. Sure enough, on the first rainy day following the completion of their work, my bedroom ceiling started to leak ver badly. At that moment, I did the due diligence on Homestars and contacted Elvis. He came in immediately, got up on the roof, diagnosed the issue, and showed up the next day with the materials to get it done. He removed the caulking, tore up the shingles in the area, removed the old sheet metal, exposed the hole, fabricated new sheet metal to cover, flamed it, laid down snow and ice matrix, and then put new shingles over top. Gave me a 5 year warranty and followed up with me on the next day of heavy rainfall. My ceiling has been bone dry since -- even the heavy thunderstorms / floods in early July were no match of Elvis' workmanship. I contacted the original contractor and asked for my money back - he refused saying that he was asked to "repair" the problem, and not to "fix" it. What a crook! Thank god there are true professionals like Elvis, who are willing to clean up the mess left behind by these criminals. Thank you, Elvis.

I guess our problems were a long time in the making. After having a 2nd storey added just over 8 years ago, we realized there were a lot of quality issues with the addition and renovation. Not being roofing experts, we didn't know that the flashing around the skylight, wasn't done properly, and we increasingly became aware that the roof ventilation was inadequate.

Then in late June we noticed a small leak coming through near the skylight. Water had apparently come through and entered the attic space and into our 2nd floor ceiling right next to the skylight. Lots of mould, and some minor water damage. But it would only get worse if we didn't do something.

So we called Elvis at All-Call Services. What a breath of fresh air! Elvis was very knowledgeable, knew exactly how to fix things, and would come out within a week, even though he was busy with a lot of other projects. He came to East York (not exactly in his neighbourhood), removed the skylight, fixed the ice and water damage around it, re-shingled a fair area around it, and replaced the skylight with a properly sealed flashing. Each step was documented with pictures, which we were shown. In addition, 3 additional roof vents were installed. We can already feel the difference, as less heat is staying trapped in the attic. The 2nd floor is a little bit cooler.

All in all, thorough work, a fair price, a high quality result... Thank you Elvis! -- David & Kristine

I live in a two-story duplex. The other half of the building is home to a retired couple and I'm not far off being a senior citizen myself. While a roof replacement wasn't something we wanted to do, the repair of an issue last month on my side of the roof prompted a discussion that led to the decision to be a day early rather than a day late. Despite Elvis' feeling we had one or two years left on the current roof, we opted to have the complete roof replaced.

We did a thorough vetting of the finalists for our roof replacement job, getting recommendations from friends and colleagues and reviewing their options here at HomeStars. The three finalists were all highly-recommended, had good HomeStars ratings and I was sure would do good work. Obviously, my prior experience with All-Can made the company a favourite of mine, but I put an effort in coming up with an unemotional evaluation of which company to give close to five grand to. The fact that our neighbours to the north had spent that, and more, only to end up with a shoddy, leaky roof, made proper vetting important.

So, I created a weighted list of factors to consider. Only 50 perccent went into the price. We also considered the work days, the work warranty, the vent replacement(s), replacement specifics, the clean-up guarantee, squirrel protection and trust. And we actually had different scores for each side as I had had squirrel issues in the past (at $400 a repair-and-evacuate), while my neighbour had no desire to spend the extra money. We also declined to give weight to the difference between 30-year shingles and 25, since both of us were of the opinion we would be living somewhere else by the end of the shingles' life.

When the various numbers and counter-proposals were done, All-Can came in with the best weighted score, but the highest price. A 15-year work warranty, six-spot nailing and a trust factor score were what made deciding to entrust, literally, the roof over our head to All-Can, the final decision. And my neighbour and I are glad we did. I should point out that Elvis re-affirmed his opinion the lid still had life in it, while the other companies quoting suggested strongly that problems were dire indeed. And yes, the trust score proved to be the winning margin for All-Can.

The work was a bit more than three days in total. In an off-and-on rain storm. Neighbours in the know, watched proceedings from nearby and were impressed with how Elvis and his crew made sure everything was water-tight as they replaced the roof, section by section. They didn't do that without some noise, but I soon got used to the rhythm of four knocks and a couple of quick final bangs as the shingles were done. Actually became a bit soothing before the silence mercifully returned on the weekend.

My former dual purpose vent was replaced by three small vents that would not rattle and ping through the night. My neighbour went for a two-for-one replacement of his old 'whirlibird' vent, commenting that getting rid of that annoying sound might be worth the cost alone." I got the aluminum flashing above my eavestrough that I hope ends any future squirrel intrusions. I have dents in my ceiling to prove how intolerant of their presence I am.

Quality costs, so my father taught me. I could have saved as much as $250 by going with the cheapest quote, one that promised a one-day job. After seing (and hearing) the All-Can crew take three days and a bit to do the job, I'm even more convinced that I was right. Shame about the 15-year work warranty though. Don't think I'll ever need to take advantage of it.

A piece of our roof flashing blew off on a windy day. In the past we have had Elvis fix a roof leak and to cap the top of our chimney, so I called him right away. Once again Elvis helped us quickly and at a reasonable price. He re-attached the fallen part and inspected for other problems. Thanks again Elvis!

Elvis did some work for us last year installing an exhaust vent on our roof. Rarely have we found people that care as much about our project as we do. Elvis is one of those people. So when we needed to affix some window shutters to our siding on two second floor windows, after considering our inexperience and discomfort with getting on the roof of the garage, we called Elvis to see if this was something he'd be willing to do. He came over the next morning and what would have taken us hours he polished off for us in 30mins. He's always a pleasure to work with. He's punctual and pays attention to the details that most others would consider a nuisance. He's our go to guy for any of our roofing needs and we highly recommend him any chance we get.

Few shingles are missing on my roof and contacted few roofing companies including Elvis from All Can Services. Elvis provided the best quote and made an exception to go to Scarborough which was out of his service area. Reviews from previous customers are also a big factor why I went with Elvis's company. Elvis replaced the missing shingles and did extra services such as, caulking around exhaust fan and nail down popping nails on eavesdrops.
Elvis was very professional, courteous and gone above and beyond with the services he’d provided without charging extras.

Thanks for the great job, I would use All Can Services again and recommend to others.

We come to HomeStars to find quality, cost effectiveness and timeliness. But honesty is not always a by-product of even the best that HomeStars has to offer. I hit the jackpot, however, with Elvis and All-Can getting a job done that easily could have morphed into a bill that prompts the question "HOW many thousands of dollars?"

What I got was a repair in 25 minutes, with extras thrown in like replacing old caulking around flashes. The hole that either a critter or nature had opened along one edge of my roof was covered over with an aluminum patch that bent down over the edge to help discourage the often ambitious squirrels of my neighbourhood and re-tiled expertly.

And then two nice items occurred. I was given a bill $25 less than the quote and told my roof was good enough shape that I might get two more years out of it. He gave me a ball-park estimate for replacing the roof. Which was less than 40 percent of the cost of my neighbour to the north had paid for HIS roof two years ago.

If I had the slightest complaint to make about All-Can, it was that I had to wait three days before they had a spot on their schedule for my (as it turns out) minor problem. I can't moan too much about waiting my turn.

So, the full 10 star rating. And yes, I've even given Elvis' card to that same neighbour to the north who had his roof done. Seems it wasn't a good job and needs repairs.

Last year got birds nest under the roof. I had to washing my 2 cars every day. This year decide to fix the roof instead of daily cleaning cars. Call All-Can Service and schedule appointment for next day. The contractor ring to my door on time, get estimation and fix the problem. He else inspect entire roof, found and fix 3 missing shingles and put caulking around vents. Grate service. 10 out of 10.
