I noticed a water leak after the many rainstorms we had in 2012 and decided I needed to do something in short order. After calling 3 ashphalt shingle roofing companies, and 2 steel roof companies I decided to stick with ashphalt and narrowed my choice to City 1 Roof Works after hearing Danny out on what competitive differences that his company brought to the table. I can summarize them as: 1) Quality materials -- While every manufacturer historically has had problems, I was sold on CertainTeed shingles after my existing IKO organic shingles had failed after only 10-11 years and they did not budge to make amends; 2) Professionalism -- From showing WSIB certificates, to talking through my shingle options, pointing out issues on the existing roof, vents, ice guard, etc. -- his crediblity was solid and I was convinced what he recommended would do the trick; 3) While City 1's price was not the cheapest it was competitive.
City 1 completed the squeezed me in during the pre-winter rush, did the job on time and on budget. They pointed out deficiencies they discovered and left me with some nice photos to share.
My roof has survived without leak over the winter and I'm happy to write this review as they did a good job.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $6,035.00
- What could this company do to improve their services?
- Offer full service for roof renovations -- i.e. not just shingles, underlayment and vents...but, offer aluminum, soffitt/venting, insulation. Also is it "Roofs on Homes" or "City 1 Roofworks"... the 2 names made things confusing.
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Call at least 3 comparable contractors -- assess their professionalism, references, and cost. Don't just pick the cheapest as it doesn't mean the best.
