Wright Brothers Roofing No Longer In Business

We were finishing a major garage addition to our house and the project was running behind. Shawn and his team came in at the end of the season and worked hard in freezing weather to get the roof on before the snow came. The guys were polite, kept a tidy work site, and worked long days to get the job done. The roof looks amazing and we will hire Wright Brothers again when we re-shingle the rest of the house.

Sean was very knowledgeable and courteous from the estimate to the end of the job. They cleaned up ok. I still have pieces of cut underlay hanging off the side of the roof. The roof looks good, however, could have put more effort into the flashing around the chimney and I was a little annoyed with how the bundles of shingles were tossed on the roof, the whole house shook with every bundle until I went out and put a stop to that. It may be normal practice but a roof shouldn't have to take the only beating it ever gets when you're trying to fix it up. It's hard to find careful workers in the construction business. Overall, I would recommend them. Just make sure Sean stays on the job site. Things tend to go smoother that way when any company owner is around. We were scheduled for about a month before they came. I was told this was a misunderstanding between me and the owner. I can't speak for quality of work because i am not a roofer and I couldn't tell you about where they've put the nails or if it'll be a good roof in 10-20 years so i'm just hoping it will. You will be shown a certificate of completing the course for proper installation of that brand of shingle, however, the certificate did not belong to the person doing the roof. They may or may not have their own.

Following a freak hailstorm in our community this past summer, it was important that we have our roof investigated for any damage. Local roofers had clearly become busy with scheduling estimates, and so I decided to call outside of our area for a roofing appraisal, ultimately selecting the Wright Brothers based on my evaluation of their web-site as professionally organized and comprehensive. Their site also highlights skylight expertise - an added attraction for me, being that our roof incorporates 2 skylights. Wright Brothers owner, Shawn Comtois, answered my telephone call and immediately impressed me with an overview ofthe company and an uncommon attentiveness to my request. Soon, both Shawn and his associate, John, were at our home detailing our roof’s damage as well as the array of options offered by the company. They were ‘communicators’ - all information was delivered clearly and patiently with effective diagramming in explanation of ventilation and all trim work involved. Photos of the damage were promptly supplied for our insurance needs, and as we had, years before, experienced a poor roofing job, belief that our concerns would be met set us at ease sufficiently to not only contract with Wright Brothers, but also to refer the company for our neighbours’ consideration. Most impressive was the sense of integrity that came through; Shawn and John were not focussed on attaining a contract so much as they were intent on explaining the job and responding to all questions, of which we had many. (We did have 2 other estimates from roofers sent out by our insurance company, yet it was the Wright Brothers we selected based on an overall sense of scrupulousness). Although we anticipated waiting until spring for the work to be done, we were surprised in mid-December to have Shawn and his crew at our door, ready to begin the work due to their completion of other contracts ahead of schedule. Overall, Shawn’s customer service was quite excellent: he made an extra trip to our home at last minute with a full board sample of shingles from which to make our final decision; he came out another day upon our request that he meet with the Velux skylight representative (for basic grounding of our assuredness). Once the roofing was completed, Shawn willingly came out to our home yet again, by our request, to finalize an eaves trough adjustment. Shawn has also informed us that he will be back once the snow dissipates to do final yard clean-up of any missed debris. Our roofing was accomplished professionally and efficiently in realization of on-going inclement weather. Shawn and his crew are to be commended for their reliability and appropriate responsiveness to all issues throughout the project. The entire crew displayed excellent work ethic, dedicating themselves to long and sometimes grueling hours of skillful work because of the snowy and icy weather conditions that set in. On the final day, Shawn joined the crew for the completion. The main downside to our roofing was the fact that it was taking place so close to Christmas; it worked out okay based on our laying lower than normal due to my recent surgery. We trust we have an excellent quality roofing job; a few sunny days have allowed us to actually catch sight of the new shingles, and they look great! Now, we look forward to having Wright Brothers return in the spring for our home’s siding replacement.

Re-roofing. I had contacted Wright Brothers Roofing after several attempts with other roofing companies that said they would get back to me within a week or so. I got a response back from John within 24 hours. He was very personable and answered my questions when finalizing the quote. Shaun came to the site at the middle and at the end of completion. and he to was also very personable and extremely honest. Aside from a very minor problem with the neighbour complaining that not all the nails and little bits of nail size debris was not cleaned-up, I was extremely satisfied with a job very well done and would recommend the Wright Brothers to anyone looking for roofing repair.

We had just bought our first home and ran into some water issues. After having a few companies come give us estimates, Wright Brothers Roofing made us feel the most comfortable with the project we were taking on. Honest, respectful, clean, quick and an all around great job. We would recommend this company to anyone and already have to a few of our neighbours.

Have just finished our roof and am delighted with the quality of work performed by this first class company. Everyone involved impressed us with their obvious pride and commitment to a job well done. Would highly recommend them.

We had early winter water and ice damage and an old roof in desperate need of repair. Wright Brothers were more responsive than any others in the market and it was clear from the outset that Shawn cares about his company's reputation and his clients. He showed considerable flexibility for us in getting the work done, was transparent about costs and job requirements and his team was professional throughout five days of solid work. I'd recommend them in an instant.

We have huge and very steep roof. When time of roof replacement came we’ve contacted with 7 different companies and at the end we've chosen Shawn and his company - Wright Brothers Roofing. Additional to reroofing we wanted to replace old skylights and remove chimney not only from the roof but from inside the house with cathedral ceilings. He was right person for the job who met and exceeded expectations. He was the only one who gave us price for everything even nails and caulking. And forty years non pro-rated warranty means a lot. We agree with all previous reviewers about Shawn professionalism, honesty and detailed attention to all our concerns. We had our problems in the past with contractors and we’ve learned our lesson – in this business not everything is about money. Price is important but right person is even more important. I consider our self lucky to have Shawn and his company to reroof our house. We have only one regret that we live in a country and house sitting far from road and not many people can see what a wonderful job Shawn and his team have done and what a beautiful roof we have now.

We had several roofers come and estimate our roof replacement and decided to use Wright Brothers. It was the best decision we ever made. Every commitment Shawn made while bidding on our job was met. Wright Brothers are honest and committed to excellent customer service. The roof looks spectacular and we would us them again in a heartbeat.

We sought three estimates for the job. Shawn spent time with me to assure that he knew exactly what I wanted done, took care in studying the roof, and explained the items in his estimate as he prepared it – right down to the cost of a box of nails. One of the other companies sent a man to measure the roof and emailed me the estimate two days later (39% higher than Wright Bros). The other prepared the estimate in his truck, gave me a number and then explained what other work could be done (26% higher than Wright Bros). The excellence of service shown during the estimate process continued throughout the scheduling and completion of the job. I highly recommend Wright Bros to anyone shopping for a roofer in Ottawa. You will like the people and you will get a fine roof, and you will have confidence in both.
