Replaced Roof

I cannot express how wonderful this company is and highly recommend to anyone looking for a roofing company. They are very professional and everything we discussed was delivered and more. They kept very close to the estimate that was provided and the craftmanship of the finished product is amazing. All of the folks that we dealt with on this job were extremely professional, polite and did excellent work. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone out there looking to have their roof done!!

Roof replacement

After receiving three offers I decided to use National Star to replace my roof. It was a very good decision. National Star completed the work on time with high quality materials and did some extras that were necessary without increasing the initial quote. Aleks showed me pictures of the roof before and after, with details of the work completed under the shingles, and I am very happy with the quality of work. National Star stands behind their work. It is my impression that, as a family-owned company, National Star is very serious about building a reputation for high quality work and they are not in the business to make a quick profit. Would highly recommend National Star.

Hello San. We appreciate you taking the time to write this review. We try our best to stand out from competition by doing a better than average job and by keeping the quoted price the same (99% till today). The only time the price goes up is when there is wood to be replaced, which comes up after the old roof is off. Most of the work to be done is determined on the initial inspection, but you do get a better view of everything once the roof is down to the plywood. Things like wood added, cut, metal flashing added, fixed, vents opened etc. are usually seen as extra work at no pay to most roofers. To us, every small detail makes a big difference. We'd rather take some time to fix it during the job than come back and repair it after the fact. Thank you again and let us know if you ever need anything.

roofing

Sokol's estimate included things that were upgrades in other estimates. Tells me that quality of materials is important to him; and his estimate was good compared to the others. They came when promised ( 10 days after signing the contract) and with a large 8 man crew and finished the work in a day and a half. Being able to finish in a timely manner is important, given the variable nature of Calgary's weather in Oct and Nov. I have seen other 2-3 man crews working for 4 or 5 days. Having my roof done quickly was important to me, given that it snowed a day after they finished!! Aleks invited me to inspect the roof with him when they were almost finished and I could tell that he took great pride in showing me their workmanship. I told Sokol that this was the best house maintenance money I had ever spent on a contractor.

Hi Ken. Having years of experience, we have chosen a few materials that have been proven to work well. They are better than the average products and are used by very few roofers due to the higher cost. Because we do the work ourselves, never subcontracting, we can afford using better material and still be competitive in price. As unpredictable as Calgary weather can be, we have been able to keep the risk to a minimum. We concentrate all our resources on the project in hand and keep a close eye on the weather on a regular basis. We appreciate you and every client we have had so far for giving us the online reputation we have right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you Winkelmann's for sharing your experience with others. It is a pleasure to hear that we did exceed your expectations and we do our best for this to be the case with every client. We either do it properly or not take the responsibility at all. And a roof is quite the responsibility, considering the harsh winter weather Calgary gets.

roofing

I was very pleased with the entire process of having my roof done with National Star. Sokol went up on the roof as he said he would, the cost of work was explained to me as well as the shingle types, etc. I was very happy with the care and attention afforded to the job, start to finish. My property was kept neat and tidy with no debris left any where. The job was completed on time with no unexpected surprises in 2 days, as promised. I came home from work smiling when I saw my new roof. It looks wonderful! Great job, wonderful experience, Sokol and your team! You set a very high standard, indeed. Thank you!

Hi Peter, thank you for sharing your experience with National Star Roofing on HomeStars. It was an honor to have met you and I hope we have exceeded your expectations. You made a very good decision in choosing the hail resistant shingles Malarkey Legacy. It is a very well-known brand in the industry for its durability with a 50-year warranty. In addition to that, our 15 year labor warranty has you covered pretty much for life. You will not be needing to worry about the roof again.
We wish you the best in your awesome family.

Roof Replacement

Requested quotes from 5 different contractors and Sokol with National Star was the only one to discuss why they use the shingles they do and how to install properly. We have a friend doing some work for us who is a civil engineer and has managed many projects in his career, he inspected the work being done and he commented that National Star had the best crew and workmanship that he has seen. We are happy because we have a beautiful roof and they certainly took care and pride in their work. Highly recommended.

Hi Cam, thank you ever so much for writing this review. We might not be the cheapest company our there in the roofing business, but we offer the best value for your buck, by far. We urge our clients to get someone to check us during the work or after it's been completed because we do not have anything to hide. From the day we opened our company, we have concentrated on having happy clients that would bring us to the success we enjoy today and keep us there. As homeowners ourselves, we have had work done on our houses by trades and we understand that a smooth process, a long lasting product and a company that will stand behind their work is what you are looking for. With National Star Roofing you get that and more.
We wish you the best and God bless your beautiful family.

Home Roofing

In short, we made the right choice going with National Star for MANY reasons!!!! The constant 10/10 reviews are well earned!!!

We had a lot of erosion of shingles from hail this year (due to poor quality organic shingles), with chunks of shingle landing around the house. We also had sudden water accumulate under the carpet of our master bedroom, which various insurance inspectors (and their roofers) found to be due to a “freak wind/rain storm” which “must have blown rain under the soffit”. We found that wasn’t true when the freak September snow storm came and the snow on the roof melted.

We live in the hail belt of Calgary, in an area where almost everyone is getting a new roof. Our neighbour got a new roof a week before we did, so I watched closely how theirs progressed. Our neighbour went with one of the better rated ‘preferred vendors’ of the insurance company, and all I can say is….. we definitely went with the right company with National Star!

Only some of the reasons why they are awesome:
• Sokol returned my call right away on Saturday evening and was out Monday morning with an estimate (very reasonable compared to two other estimates we had previously)
• Picked up immediately what the source of the carpet water likely was (three other professionals missed it)
• Highlighted Insurance estimate shorts, provided satellite dimensions (which our insurance adjuster said he couldn’t do because of a tree), this resulted in a $2000 increase correction from the insurance company. They state their preferred vendors are guaranteed to work within the insurance estimate, which only results in cutting corners!
• Materials dropped off Friday, Roof started and completed on Sunday! (neighbour had material sitting for over two weeks, with 4 days to install, and leftover material still sitting there almost a month later)
•Family owned business; everyone knew their roles and worked together like a well-trained army.
•Walk around showing where previous roof was deficient, how they fixed it, and documented damaged areas
•Every member of the crew was polite, inviting and professional
•Roof looks incredible, way better installation than old roof and neighbour’s roof
•Clean-up was immaculate, important with a toddler and a dog
•Warrantee / Guarantee is FAR superior to the Insurance “Preferred Vendors”
•Stuck to their estimate.
•Very honest and professional, provides peace of mind

Again, went with National Star Roofing Specialists after doing quite a bit of research. Thank you again Sokol and crew for the fantastic job you all did. It was a pleasure doing business with you (and that’s hard to say with most companies these days)!

Hi Kevin. It was a pleasure to help you and your family with such a crucial part of your home. Our mentality since opening the company has been to look out for our clients the same as we do for ourselves. This includes not only doing a good and honest job, but also to deal with insurance companies' appraisals/estimates and see that your interest is defended. Insurance staff is trained to be as efficient as possible, at times lowering measurements so that the payout is less. If you had gone ahead with the estimate they initially provided and with their preferred contractors, you would have probably gotten a worse job than was done with the old installation. Many people have experienced nightmares with their roofs in recent times. It is crucial for everyone to do their research and follow their gut feeling, not their pocket. As tempting as it is to save 2-3 thousand dollars, you take a chance on the roof leaking in a few years. Our warranty of 15 years not only protects you for a really long time, but it also keeps us focused in doing the job better than good enough so it lasts that long without the need of any repair. If your previous roof lasted almost 20 years without an underlay or metal flashing in the valleys and edges also with a 15 year rated shingle, the roof we just installed will last at least twice that long.
Let us know if you ever need us. We are always here to respond to any concerns. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review.

reroofing

Sokol and his men did an excellent job of reroofing our house. Started the job when he said he would and finished in two days. His men did an excellent job of cleaning up you would never know they were here. He was also the only roofer who showed up to do an estimate when he said he would.
