When my wife and I first noticed the roof needed new shingles all we could hear was Mike Holmes words of warning about water damage, mold etc. We came to HomeStars to find a company who could do the job. We called five companies and entertained 5 estimates and we got the usual sales pitch from everyone with prices ranging from 4k to 12k. Quite a spread. What set Canadian apart was Jason Hunter's down to earth honesty. After reviewing all the estimates what stood out the most was his matter of fact, straight forward honesty. He talked us out of getting Cambridge style saying it wouldn't look nice on our low slope roof; he noticed that one section of the roof required a 9 foot ice and water shield as opposed to a 3 to 6 foot ice shield because the roof overhang was larger, no one else noticed; and he didn't try to push us on wrapping the rest of roof, he left it up to us and said it could be done at a minimal charge. The others, they tried to convince us that we needed a new ventilation system including soffats but required cutting off the crown of the roof for x amount of dollars more; we needed the cambridge shingles; another said we had to sign the estimate right away or the price would increase...Jason, he went up on the roof, measured and discussed with us in the middle of a snow shower what had to be done. Finally when the day came we expected maybe a crew of 5 tops. 10 roofers came out, 10! My father who lives with us, him and I just sat outside and watched these guys do their magic. One section at a time(we have 6 sides on our roof). They arrived around 10 and they where done by 5. Whichever section they where working on was tarped underneath. When they where finished, each member of the team looked for debris and they took magnetic brooms over and over and over every area. The only debris my wife and I could find after was a piece of old felt that blew into a tree. My father was very impressed and some of you know how a 94 year young person can be. Even my neighbours called and complimented Canadian on the job they did. Bottom line, I can't say enough about Jason and the Canadian Roofer Company. Everyone was outstanding, courteous and professional in aspect of their job. Everyone knew exactly what had to be done and where.
