The Roof Whisperer

When we discovered a leak in the roof, we were fortunate to find (on the HomeStars site), 'The Roof Whisperer". Arthur scheduled a visit and provided an inspection of the roof and an estimate for the work to be done. The work was done efficiently and with expertise. We will certainly seek further estimates from this company in the spring when we look to have additional and more permanent repairs done to the roof, as they were prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. I recommend them highly!

It rained. Hard. And the flat roof over an extension of my house started to leak. Paint peeled. Dry wall turned to mush. I turned to the Roof Whisperer based on a Homestars search and could not have been happier. They came out the next day to provide a quote, and completed the work over the next 2 weather appropriate days. The roof needed a full re-work and Nick and the guys did an amazing job. They discovered a few other problems while up there that would have been very problematic over the long term, and fixed those at well. The work was completed on-time and on-budget in an incredibly professional manner. I was very happy with the The Roof Whisperer and would use them again, and I would refer them with confidence.

I contacted the Roof Whisperer for an assessment on two leaking skylights.

The company quickly arranged for a professional to come visit my house the following day for an estimate. A thorough evaluation was made and a clear explanation of what needed to be done was given to me at a reasonable price.

I would recommend the Roof Whisperer without hesitation. We are considering replacing our roof in the near future and plan to contact the company next Spring!

The guys were quick, efficient and did a thorough job even sweeping the roof and cleaned an eavesthrough as well as caulking the chimney, screws, etc. They know exactly what they are doing ! Thank you and job well done ! ;) i did have to followup with the first quotation meeting but Arthur came over towards the end of the alloted time frame. All in all, it was a good experience!

Called to get a quote Arthur showed up and was willing to move his schedule around to have a crew show up the next day due to rain in the forecast. Explained I wanted to get a second quote. After getting a second quote I called the roof whisperer back and scheduled the work. I had a skylight replaced and they did a roof tune up. Hey if you want to get work done by someone that really cares about what they do call these guys. I wouldn't hesitate to have them come back, and highly recommend. They may not be the cheapest but they will do it right, on time and with integrity!

Nick from The Roof Whisperer came to inspect our flat roof closely, measure up, and was very thorough in his explanation of what he could do for us, and how they would carry out the replacement work. The estimate was detailed and the work was done very well. There were some unexpected details uncovered when the work took place, and the cost was actually adjusted down accordingly, we were very happy with this. It took a few phone calls back and forth to get hold of the company to schedule a time for the work to be carried out, a little longer than I had hoped for, but I suppose that is the reality of the industry. Also there were a few coffee cups left on the roof after the 'clean-up'. However, overall we were very satisfied and would recommend The Roof Whisperer.

This company was prompt, efficient and fair. They did a good job. We had 4 days of rain between the start and the finish but everything went well. When Ilir came to do the estimate he went on the roof and that made a difference. The other quote we had was based on a eye-balled description and some variables but no roof examination. With Roof Whisperers our estimate was our cost. There were no surprises. Great cleanup and great service. Happy to recommend them.

Ilhr and his crew were professional, clean, and did an excellent job replacing the flat roof (that I later found out was over 20 years old). It was leaking before, and now I am confident it will last for many years to come. They are certified Velux installers and build curbs for 2 skylights on the flat roof which look and perform really well!

They also closed up my roof vents and sealed the ridge vent and very closely matched the existing shingles (I no longer need vents since I had my roof spray foamed).

These guys are pros and I would recommend them to everyone!

Arthur understood my needs right away. He also recommended to fix the chimney although this is not his line of work. He has the interest of the client at heart. He treats his employees very well and his employees deliver quality work to the clients. They are hard workers, well organized, skilled and did an excellent job. I received 3 quotes for the job and he was in the middle. He is very honest and reliable. I would recommend his firm any day.

Ratings: Service – excellent, friendly, thorough. Roof- excellent. Clean-up of job site: excellent. Cost – I believe I received good value for the quality. We have a century-old detached home off the Danforth, flat roof for most of it with a peaked area at the front of the house. Our flat roof was 13-year-old tar and paper, and was bubbling in several areas. We were noticing some water coming in on the main floor due to our eavestrough overflowing in heavy storms and the water finding its way in through the brickwork around the second floor window. We had The Roof Whisperer look at our roof in summer 2013 and arranged installation to be done in September. When Arthur initially came out to look at our roof, I went up with him and he pointed out bubbling and areas where it was vulnerable to leaking. He also had some suggestions about resloping our eavestrough. On another part of the roof, rainwater was draining directly off the roof, where there was no eaves, and that may have contributed to water seeping into our basement. He said they could reslope the roof for better drainage. He recommended removing our old roof so that they could do it right, with insulation, etc. His crew did all these things as promised, and even handled an unexpected complication – instability of our chimney, repairing its base – while maintaining their initial quoted price for the job. This was a very thorough job –removal, installation, underlayment, drip edge, etc. and it looks built to last. We had no water issues with a recent, big rainfall, so it has already been worthwhile.
