Roof repair

A cheap, low-profile roof vent became filled with snow, which melted and left a wet spot on our ceiling. A repair person came to inspect, and recommended replacing the vent with a higher-quality one. The company let me buy the part myself from Home Depot, and the repair person installed it, deducting the cost from the final bill.

So far, I'm quite happy with the quality of the work!

Difficult skylight and roof job

Kovar took on a difficult job that several contractors turned down replacing skylights on a Decra metal roof. These guys gave me a reasonable quote and did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it. Hard working guys in difficult conditions. I have no hesitation recommending Kovar.

Attic blown fibreglass insulation upgrade and vent installation

Their proposal was very clear about the work that needed to be done and what each aspect would cost. The total price was very competitive with the two other quotes we got. We decided to go with Kovar because they seemed very knowledgeable about how the upgrades should be done to conform to current codes and best practices. Once we accepted their proposal, the crew came promptly and completed the work quickly and very professionally. The work site was left clean and tidy when they finished. We were very pleased with the quality of their work and would definitely recommend them to friends and neighbours.

Gas fireplace chimney repair and rebuild

Kovar Contracting was a delight to work with on a recent project to repair and rebuild our gas fireplace chimney. The team members were all very professional and did a wonderful job of keeping us informed as the project evolved. Definite value for money. We are very pleased with the result. We intend to engage them again in the future.

Roofing

Professional, on time, on budget, and knowledgable. Never felt pressured to over spend and was given sound and useful guidance. I met with multiple roofing companies and Kovar was by far the best. Don't waste your time elsewhere.

Garage ceiling insulation

The team was fantastic. Gave a very good estimate and completed the work efficiently. They tidied up after themselves and it was a positive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend them.

Siding, eavestrough, soffit, and fascia

I needed a company to install vinyl siding to cover my stucco in my backyard. I also needed new eavestrough/downspout as well as needed to have soffit and fascia installed. Jay provided a great quote and Alex with did a great job. Very professional, thorough and did a great job cleaning up afterwards.

Basement finish

Kevin Campbell did an excellent job leasing with us to design our basement reno and work quote. Ben did a fantastic job framing and along with Kevin, they installed our basement celing, floor, walls, stairs and barn door. It was a pleasure dealing with Kevin and Ben and Kovar contracting.

reshingling, caping work

Jason was thorough and organized in our first meeting. His quotes are professional, accurate and fair.
We had to correct a few problems in workmanship but it was accepted and rectified promptly and courteously.
To even further recommend his company --not one week after completion of the job, our neighbourhood got hit by a tornado and we were one of the few that had no lost shingles!!!
We've had many roofing companies over the years with different houses and I have to say that Kovar Contracting is the best so far for sure!!!
