Flat roof

I chose J. Stewart Roofing after having met John and his son when they came to give me a quote on replacing a flat roof over an extension. John’s comprehensive quote included a 10 year labor warranty as well as provided a detailed photo montage of the steps required to install a flat roof. The work crew completed the work quickly and left the area clean and tidy. Thank you John and the crew for completing this small job within a few days after signing the contract.

Flat roof replacement

John and his crew went the extra mile in getting the work done. Our flat roof was in fairly desperate need of replacement and, despite their busy schedule, they managed to fit us in and did a fabulous job. This company adheres to highly professional standards. The work crew are courteous and friendly and did a thorough job of cleaning up the worksite. John offers skilled assessment and a fair price. The work is guaranteed for 10 years but John thinks it should last 20 years and I believe him. His crew replaced the sloped part of our roof a year and a half ago and also did a great job. Highly recommended.

New shingles and flat roof

We developed a leak in our flat roof, and after talking to some other roofing companies, it was an easy choice to go with J Stewart Roofing. One place wanted to charge for an estimate. One of the bigger roofing companies (which might start with an A) claimed there was no temporary fix that could be done. He also did not seem that interested to see where the leak was in our house. When John came not only did he check where the leak was but he checked the other rooms in our house. He also showed us pictures of the roof which showed the problem areas and the materials he would use, which seemed of good quality. He also was willing to take the time to educate us on the process. Before they were able to fix our roof John was kind enough to also do a temp fix on our flat roof for peace of mind. Dealing with J Stewart Roofing was efficient, friendly and professional.

Our roof has not been weather tested, but as of right now we are quite satisfied. I would definitely recommend them.

I would recommend J Stewart Roofing to anyone who has a roof replacement requirement. The family run company has been in business for two generations and I have been a satisfied customer for over twenty years. They are price competitive, extremely capable and personable; I refer neighbours to them regularly and have never heard a negative comment about their work.

reroofing house

We were very impressed by the inspection of our roof, prior to any work being done, the pictures taken of the old roof and the clear explanation of what had to be done and why. The actual roof replacement was completed with the maximum of speed and care as was clear when we viewed pictures of our new roof. We would not hesitate to recommend John, at John Stewart Roofing to our friends, nor to use his services again ourselves.

Roof replacement

I would heartily recommend J. Stewart Roofing. We had a full roof replacement done this summer due to the age of the roof and an interior leak. John, the owner, responded promptly to my request for an estimate and was friendly and personable when we met. I received several quotes from various roofers, the highest of which was double that of the lowest, and the one from J. Stewart Roofing was in the middle range. The quote was not inexpensive, but it seemed fair for the size of the roof and the work required. John struck me as knowledgeable, trustworthy, and fair-minded. One of the things I most appreciated was that, while we waited to have our roof replaced, John was willing to do a temporary fix on the roof in order to stall the interior leak. The fix held out for a while, but there was a period of heavy, prolonged rainfall, and so John had to return, which he did immediately and without question. The crew, led by Ray, was hard-working, polite, and tidy. Ray kept me well-informed about progress on the roof and any changes to the expected schedule. For example, one day the weather forecast called for rain the following afternoon. Ray spoke to me at the end of the day and at the start of the next to explain that the crew might have to stop work earlier than usual, due to the weather, but reassured me that they would continue until the section of the roof they had been working on was completed. It has been over a month since the roof was replaced and it looks good, the leak is gone, and there have been no other problems. Recently, there was a minor home insurance matter that Renai, the financial controller, took care of efficiently. We are very pleased with the work that was done, and truly like the people who did it. Many thanks to J. Stewart Roofing.

New Roof

Just wanted to say thank you to John and his crew. I was very impressed by the service I received and the expertise in doing my new roof. The crew was on time, courteous and explained everything they were going to do. They even made sure that everything was cleaned up before they left. I will definitely be recommending you to all my contacts. Thanks again! Denis

New shingled roof and replace rotting fascia boards and insufficient eavestrough.

J Stewart Roofing was referred to me by a top-notch wildlife control business, that we have successfully used before more than once on previous homes, a company that removes wildlife from attics, etc., after creatures have made their way through a vulnerable roof or decaying fascia. Therefore, this wildlife control company has seen lots of roof repair or replacement work done by a number of big and small Toronto roofers.

First, there was a home visit and consultation with John Stewart, who went up on the roof to examine it and who took pictures to show me where the shingles were worn away, etc. He was patient and accommodating and took lots of time to answer my questions about materials, ice dams, fascia boards, how things get done, etc. And he wasn't aggressively pushing for the job. I agreed to work with them.

I was not disappointed. There were two crews, one who re- shingled the whole roof, a complicated roof design, and another who followed who replaced the fascia and installed the new, one-piece, 30 foot stretch of gutter. (The previous one had a seam half way along and was leaking from there.)

Dan and Andrew, the two respective crew leaders, were very personable and kind, who took time to answer any questions, took pictures of the finished roof work that you couldn't see from the ground, etc. Their workmanship appeared excellent (I checked by going up on the lower reaches of the roof), and both crews cleaned up very well.

I would recommend them to anyone, including my sister, who is going to use them for roof work on her own house.

More about J Stewart Roofing Ltd

John Stewart, owner of J. STEWART ROOFING Ltd, has been installing roofs for the Toronto area homes and small businesses for over twenty five years. John is an experienced roofer having started roofing at a very young age he learned the basics of roofing and gradually became proficient in both shingling and then flat roofing. These two very different types of roofs require a different knowledge base and a real understanding of this can only be gained through actual hands-on work, so that one can see exactly how the materials work together and why.

Flat roofs are particularly tricky to do and have become a specialty for J. Stewart Roofing Ltd. (For further details check out the newspaper article from the Toronto Star on this website. It is vital to gain real knowledge of the materials & techniques to not get stuck in just one way of doing things and stop there. Larry and John know how important it is to always keep up with the new roofing materials being invented and how they actually work in the field. In this way they have gained a greater library of knowledge on which to draw from, enabling them to know what combination of materials best for each unique customer’s job are presented to them.
