Let it Rain Roofing

Let it rain came to repair some damage caused by an exterminator in December. They replaced some shingles and all appeared good, improved the barriers constructed by the exterminator.
First rain in March flooded our hall directly under the repair. Rain continured the next day and the flooding continued.
We called Let it Rain but they said that repairs are not warranted, We would have to pay again to have them try to stop the leak. Very poor service, $1,800.00 for nothing. I suggest that you stay far away from this company.

Approximate cost of services:
$1,850.00

Company Response

Like our client stated in the review, we installed a better system to keep the raccoons out of their attic. In regards to the leak, I dispatched our technicians today, April 2 2015 and they found that there were 5 NEW compromises created by the raccoons. The damage was severe enough to have exposed the roof deck. This has nothing to do with work that was provided by Let it Rain Ltd. Our client has a very severe animal problem, and unfortunately there is little that we can do on our side to prevent the animals from further damaging his roof system. Animal damage is not covered under any of our warranty packages. In this instance, I have decided to remedy the compromised areas at our cost. We will be looking into solutions to keep these raccoons off of his roof as we as home owners also understand the frustration that these critters cause.

Roof

Avoid at all costs! Rip off artists. They don't stand behind their products. They put garbage shingles on our roof that didn't last 10 years, and then blamed us for choosing the wrong shingles. Reality is that we used the shingles they recommended. They don't return calls; they have to be chased. All we got was a big run around from them, when their roof fell apart. Save yourself the headache, frustration, and lost money of using Let it Rain. Just a horrible company to do with business with... avoid at all costs.

Company Response

This individual requested a BLUE shingle. The only manufacturer that created this colour at that time was BP (Midnight Blue). This is the only BP roof that Let it Rain Ltd has EVER installed. Our consultant at the time advised them AGAINST this product, as this product was severely under our standards of quality. Again, this is something that was conveyed to them, however, in keeping with customer satisfaction we caved in and supplied them with the BP Midnight Blue (as per requested). I believe it was around 3 years ago when the class-action law suit of BP and IKO began for defective products. I have met with the clients and explained all of this to them. Also, Bruno (President of Let it Rain Ltd) and I, discussed this issue and came to an agreement that we would offer a new roof system at a heavily discounted rate. We have not received any response from them after we indicated our intent. I feel that we have a responsibility to the clients to provide them with the proper information that they require to make the correct decision when investing in a new roof system. On the same note, I believe that the clients also have a responsibility to listen to the advise that we give to them, especially concerning the quality of products.

new roof

I never knew a roof could be worry-free until I got my new roof from Let it Rain a couple of years ago. My old roof had constant leaks that baffled my old roofer, and none of his attempts at fixes worked, to the point where he finally just ran out on his warranty and did not return my calls. Bruno from Let it Rain was able to identify the problems immediately, and offered me a range of possibilities. I got such a good feeling about him that I decided to replace the entire old crummy roof. My new roof is a thing of beauty, the installation was smooth and quick with no residual mess. The roof made it through the putrid 2013/14 winter without a single problem, and my heating bills were lower than the neighbours'. Thanks to Let it Rain, I don't worry about my roof any more.

Service

Awful experience. I hired LIR to fix a roof leak in July 2013. A serviceman came and confidently assured me he knew what the problem was, and quoted me $900 to fix the leak. He never did any water testing. Within 2 months, the leak was back, causing severe water damage in my home. LIR was very difficult to get a hold of --- calls and emails were ignored. Finally, in January 2014, they respond and sent another serviceman onsite in February 2014. He did more work that did not fix the problem, and still did not do any water testing. I contacted the owner (Bruno) in late February and he came on site, and offered to send a serviceman back. This time, they did a water test and it was determined that the original work done had nothing to do with the problem! My leak still exists, and now Let It Rain wants me to pay to properly repair the problem. Unbelievable --- never again, and would never recommend to anyone.

New Shingle Roof on Garage/Workshop

Let It Rain (LIR) impressed me with their quality of workmanship, choice of materials, friendly and clean crews, and outstanding customer service and support.

I built a high quality garage to serve as my woodworking shop and wanted to maintain this quality standard in all of the finishes. Despite the challenging winter, LIR was persistent in their attempts to get a good crew onsite and they followed through with post installation support. There was one minor oversight that was rectified shortly thereafter and with the same interest in preserving quality. I believe that the true test of a quality company is how the address problems. Bruno (owner) demonstrated his pride in quality and reputation: something that appears to be rare in this business.

If you believe that "you get what you pay for" then this company comes through. Every single person I dealt with from LIR was knowledgeable, professional and went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. I would not hesitate to recommend LIR.

Approximate cost of services:
$3,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Keep up the quality standards.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Take a careful look at what LIR offers compared to other companies. Many can compete on price but few will compare on quality of materials and workmanship.

Shingle Roof and Flat Roof

We had |Let it Rain install a new roof for our home and flat roof for our garage in 1998 and it has been great ever since. Some re-caulking around the chimney was necessary but they came right out and fixed no charge because it was still under wty. That was a relief. I would recommend them for any roofing job. They were referred to me by a family member.

Complete Roof done

This is a top-notch roofing company. We were interested not only having our roof done, but were looking for quality products and workmanship. We plan on staying at our house for a long time, so doing a typical cheap 'replacement' job was not what we were looking for. We had a lot of questions and Jan provided all the answers we needed. We liked their approach to 'doing it right' and selected the GAF Timberline HD product. Jan took the time to explain what they do, the products that they use, etc. We also wanted ridge venting, and it was clear that these guys knew what they were doing. They were not the lowest priced quote, and nor were they the highest.

When it came time to do the work, there were a few delays (mostly due to rain), but they performed the work as we expected. We were also critical on protecting the house, tarping the lawn/nail cleanup) and the dumpster. There are some things that customers overlook (eg- their dumpster is on wheels, and they have their own dumpsters (not a contracted service) so you dont have to worry about having your driveway gouged).

Having kids that play on the lawn a lot, we were very particular about nails. After day 1, I found 20+ nails on the lawn. After the install was done, I found another 20+. They did use the mag roller to clean up, but, although we understand it is hard to get them all, this is something that could have had more attention. However, Peter was quick to respond and come out to roll the lawn himself. I expected to go out and search myself anyway.

If you are looking for a quality roof, by a company that has a skilled team, for a descent price, I recommend these guys. Would use them again.

Roofing

We had a leak in our skylight and we called Let it rain and they did a fabulous job! They did a full inspection of our roof and there was no high pressure sales tactic. We were very impressed with the quality of work and professionalism. We really recommend them if you have any issue with your roof!

new roof

Very professional. Good advice about colour choice. Estimated time to complete the roof was a bit short, but they were always here on time and worked very hard. They respected the garden and cleaned up very well every day so that lving here was easy.

SERVICES
Shingle Roof: At Let It Rain, we install a wide range of roofing shingles, including cedar, slate and fiberglass asphalt shingles. In addition to protecting your roof, our shingles can also improve the aesthetic value of your home because we offer a wide range of shingle colours and profile options. Insulation & Attic Upgrades Attic or ceiling insulation and roof ventilation are often ignored but have a large impact on the comfort of your home and the life of your roof. Without proper attic insulation and balanced ventilation, your attic will allow heat to escape, creating damaging moisture and ice build up. Let It Rain knows that attic insulation is an important part of the roof system. With a reliable and functional attic, Let It Rain ensures that your roof installation lasts a lifetime. Aluminum Let It Rain’s Aluminum Department offers a range of products and services to enhance the look of your home and protect it from the elements. Our suppliers provide aluminum for eavestrough, soffit and fascia in an array of colours to compliment your existing colour scheme.

SPECIALITIES
What you need to know: The Roofing System consists of three components that should be balanced to work efficiently. The Shingled Roof acts as an umbrella shedding water and snow off the building. Insulation separates the attic from the house interior creating a comfortable home environment and reducing energy consumption. Ventilation moves cool air into the attic and hot air out. It extends the life of the shingles and provides a comfortable living environment
