We are 99 per cent satisfied with the recent shingling job and our contact with the company throughout, starting with estimator Krista Heggie. The company has done similar work in our neighbourhood several times and was well recommended to us. But we still put them through a competitive process as to cost and technology and they were clear winners. We confirmed the job last fall. It was too late in the season to undertake the work then, so we were among the first jobs scheduled for this spring.
The work crew, which totalled six, was really energetic (and amazingly agile). They worked until 9 p.m. the first day, took two days off because of rain, and returned a half day to finish up. Throughout, they were respectful of their surroundings, including covering up a neighbour’s car with foam cushions when that person could not be located to move the vehicle. We have several skylights onto which old shingles could easily fall as they were being stripped, but the glass was carefully covered up, and there were no accidents. At the end of the job they meticulously swept the driveway and patio, and raked the lawn.
So why stop at 99 per cent? The one hitch was that we were given specific dates for delivery of the shingles and the start of work and we adjusted travel plans accordingly. When legitimate reasons popped up for these dates to be delayed, there was no contact initiated with us to let us know of the change.
