Anla from Toronto

I don’t ordinarily comment on social media but a recent experience with Justin Deboer at Skyline Contracting was too good to keep to myself. We were victim to a poor roofing job, carried out 10 years ago through our renovation contractor. We were not party to the brand of shingle used in the renovation, nor the company. Needless, to say, we ended up having to replace all the plywood and shingles this past summer. I was partial to CertainTeed shingles as I had used them up north at our summer home, and was happy with them. Two neighbors had their roofs replaced this past summer. Both companies noticed the state of our roof and approached me for the work. Their quotes were suspiciously low and done without much thought. I was hesitant to go with either. I then turned to two large roofing companies in Toronto for additional quotes. The first company, a company I’d used in the past on a previous home, generated an extremely high quote, based on merely an external visual inspection. An estimator from a second company (and a huge competitor to the first) showed up. He had to leave abruptly to pick up his wife, and I never heard from him again. In all instances, I made it clear I wanted to use CertainTeed shingles – the responses, shall we say, were interesting and suspect. Out of frustration as much as anything, I contacted CertainTeed for the name of an installer in Toronto with fantastic credentials. That’s exactly how I connected with Justin Deboer of Skyline Contracting. Justin arrived exactly when he said he would. What really stood out for me was the fact that he went up to our attic (not a desirable thing to do in the middle of the summer.) This proved invaluable. Not only did he discover mold, rotten plywood, etc., he was able to quote sensibly. His assistant in the truck even offered invaluable suggestions as to colors. They came with the full arsenal of samples! It was unbelievable. His quote was very detailed, reasonable, sensible, and (because of his relationship with CertainTeed), we ended up with a terrific warranty. Justin is your man! He showed up on the site one day to touch base with us. More important, his crew was amazing. They tidied up every night – not one nail was left laying around. To top that, every morning at about 7:00, the foreman emailed me a lengthy status report. Justin is based out of Wainfleet, Ontario. He routinely works in Toronto. If you need a new roof, he’s your guy. Anne La Rocque, Toronto, Ontario

Frechette was quick to take our money but did not return to do the job. Booking has been such a nightmare that we went with another company. They send trucks out to do specific jobs - and this pose huge problems if your job is not one of them. Booking office does not schedule in advance even if you are told, as we were many times, that we were a priority.
