A Line General Contractors (Roofing Services)

Needed emergency roof work. Victor's quote was 35% lower than others I had received. There were no delays on the start date... or the finish date. He and his staff were very professional , friendly, hard working and all did a great job. They also did a good clean up job. I was very pleased with all their efforts and would recommend his crew to anyone.
thanks victor

We are very satisfied with A-Line General Contractors. Victor acted quickly to care of a leak we had after a recent rain storm and went on to redo our whole roof. He is punctual, responsible, has great knowledge of his trade, and only uses the best materials available. We are happy to give him our utmost recommendation!

We used A Line after getting quotes from 3 roofers to repair the our roof that was re shingled improperly the previous summer. We had a significant amount of water damage over the winter/spring and it was critical that the roof be repaired quickly and flawlessly.

I went onto the roof with Victor from A-Line and he showed me the trouble areas that had not been addressed by previous roofers.

A Line's quote was most comprehensive and addressed the main problem area and weakness and shingling shortcuts that may not be causing leaks today but could in the future. Other quotes only focused on the source of the leak for the same or more money.

The work was performed by Victor and team with a couple needed extras thrown in to further protect the house and redirect water away from certain trouble areas.

Overall we wish we had used them initially as they work hard to get it right and won't turn a blind eye to roofing flaws that might have a larger impact than simply replacing shingles.

We had the sloped part of our semi-detached roof. We were very pleased with the prompt response, clear explanations, fair price, quality work and clean-up. Victor and his crew did very good work. The roof looks great. We'll, no doubt, be asking them to do our flat roof in the next year.

A little knoweledge is a dangerous thing. When I purchased my North Toronto home back in 2012, a friend of mine warned me 'there's no such thing as a skylight that doesn't leak'.
Sure enough, we found out very quickly that our 'renovated in 2005' home also came complete with a leaky skylight over the living room which would constantly drip around the margins on days when the rain fell heavily. This got old fast as the leak was right over our TV room couch.

Since my father is a big DIY type with decades of home improvement experience and I was a gung-ho new homeowner, the first thing we did (naturally) was attempt to diagnose and fix the problem ourselves using crowdsourced knowledge, word-of-mouth advice and YouTube videos. I figured that I could lean on my dad's expertise (he's built 2 homes 'from the ground up' over the years) to get the job done right but this turned out to be very much the wrong decision in the long run. It turns out that my father, while savvy about everything else DIY related, didn't really know enough about skylights to keep us from getting into trouble.

Despite multiple attempts at repair over a year long period (which included putting on an entirely new roof and re-caulking / re-sealing the whole thing with the "best" materials we could find) we STILL had water coming through the skylights after less than 12 months past a total roof replacement. Sixth times up on the roof was enough for me. I swallowed my pride and picked up the phone to call someone who actually knew what they were doing when it came to leaky Velux skylights. That's how I met Victor & A-Line Contracting.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience from Victor and the A-Line crew. With less than a week before I had to head overseas on business, Victor pulled late hours more than once to head over to our place and personally get up there to do a first-hand evaluation with me at 9:30pm with flashlights in hand. He explained to me how Dad and my choice of our "best" materials was actually a terrible mismatch for our kind of project thanks to the specific type of skylight we were correcting for, as well as the grade and orientation of the roof. The materials we used might have been correct for a different purpose, but it was a bonehead fit for a project like mine. When it comes to skylights, the devil is absolutely in the details, so these little mistakes led to big mistakes and water damage once infiltration and freezing were taken into account as well as rendering our existing skylights kind of useless in the process. "You should have called me first!" No doubt Victor. Hindsight is 20/20.

Within the span of a week, Victor had sourced a new (correct) match of skylights for our roof type and made the trip with his crew (on a Sunday!) to get things straightened around so that I wouldn't be stressing about the roof while I was overseas. The guys at A-Line built additional slanted kerbs up on the new skylights to correct for our roof's gentle slope and replaced the old materials that Dad and I had in place with new (correct this time) product & shingles installed with proper technique for our roof type. Some of the 'new' product couldn't be easily removed thanks to it being directly affixed to the roof itself with adhesive, so they roofed over it. Now I have two new roofs, one under the other.

While they were up there, they also corrected and fixed some aspects of our DIY job that hadn't YET become a problem but WOULD have in a few years -- probably saving us tons of headache down the line. Moreover, the whole roof replacement and new skylight installation job was completed in a single workday, at a very resonable price. Fantastic. They even took every last scrap of garbage (including my old skylights) away wit them at the end of the day so I didn't have to worry about what to do with them.

After six unsuccessful attempts at DIY, I am very relieved to FINALLY have the stamp of a Velux skylight expert on the whole skylight / flashing / shingles dilemma and my wife is likewise extremely relieved that the job comes with a 10-year, no-questions asked guarantee. It's good to know that if anything DOES go wrong (fingers crossed) the crew will be back to fix it right away. I appreciate that A-Line incorporated a site review from the local Velux inspector as part of their standard roofing process at no additional cost. Being unafraid of having a third party check your work is a sign of confidence and professionalism. I just wish I'd done the same thing before we decided to go it alone 12 months ago.

A-Line did an amazing job turning a project like mine around in less than 7 days. Their HomeStars score is well deserved. If you have a leaky skylight, don't make the mistake I did. Call Victor and save yourself a lot of hassle.

A-Line Roofing services was referred to me by Fixer on the Roof, who act as a referral service and were active in my Beaches neighborhood. Victor Popoff, the Director of A-Line Roofing Services, came out to look at the job. My sunroom needed new roofing and the replacement of two Velux skylights. Victor was very professional and thorough in his review and explanation of the work that needed to be done, the materials to be used and his quote was reasonable compared to others I had received. He was also very patient and understanding as I had been subject to bad jobs by previous roofers so he went out of his way to explain everything to me and reassure me that all would be taken care of properly. On the day of the job Victor and his assistant showed up on time. Halfway through the job it poured rain but Victor and his assistant protected my roof and waited until the rain stopped and finished the job that same day. Victor, who is a licensed installer for Velux, suggested that a Velux representative should come out to inspect the job and they did. They made suggestions for minor tweaks to the interior and Victor has promised to completed these. I am perfectly satisfied with the workmanship and also Victor's integrity and high standards. He also pointed out deficiencies in the draining of my eavestroughs and referred other competent contractors to me. I would not hesitate to recommend Victor and feel I have found a contractor I can truly trust.

We recently had a new skylight installed in our home as well as some work to the roof and Victor was fantastic. I would highly recommend him. He was timely, on budget and came back with no questions asked to address a small problem. Will definitely use him again!

Victor’s price was the lowest of the estimates we obtained, and the work was completed as per the estimate, for the price quoted. Victor was very professional. We particularly appreciated his use of photos and video to keep us apprised of the work performed. Apart from a few damaged shrubs and an unexpected clean-up job required in the backyard, we were quite happy the work of Victor and his crew.

Victor and his team did an amazing job replacing our roof. Victor is responsive, fair, and thorough. He talked us through every step, showing us pictures and videos as the job progressed, and went above and beyond given the state of parts of our roof. Also, he and his team were incredibly respectful of our home and our neighbours. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Victor and A-Line Contractors.

Victor and Alex did an excellent job capping the sides of our dormer with aluminum to cover an unsightly squirrel hole. They were very professional and considerate. The work was also completed at an excellent price. We would definitely call Victor in the future.
