Sum It Roofing Inc

We are the second owners of a thirteen year old house and did not expect to be replacing a roof so soon. I have used HomeStars for several jobs and written a review on each one. I have to say that Sum-it Roofing has to be at the top of the list. We received several quotes for the job, one at $20,000, another at $18,000 and some lower than the company we chose. I originally spoke with John who viewed our roof and the damage caused by the horrible storm. In addition, our shingles were all curling and we needed a new roof fast to avoid water damage in case of heavy rain.

After our talk, my husband and I decided to speak to Eris, his sales rep. Eris came over the next day and spent 2 hours with us. He explained EVERYTHING; how the company works, the type of shingles they use and why, all the extras included such as vents, etc. He also emphasized that the crew is all trained and must wear safety gear unlike some other companies where the crew just walk around the roof unprotected from accidents. He was not trying to “sell” us. Rather, he was factual and clear. He took samples of shingles outside and placed them against our stone and brick to ensure the color we chose would be visually appealing. Other contractors said color didn’t really matter but I was concerned about that issue and Eris explained that the front of the house is the first thing you see – VISUAL is so important and it certainly is to us. We signed the contract and set a date for the job.

Normally, shingles are placed on top of the roof before starting the job, making it easier to get going. Because of the type of stone we have on our driveway, the truck carrying the shingles could not park there. The company had to place a hoist on the driveway and physically place each shingle package on the hoist to lift them up. It was a tedious and backbreaking job but not one complaint was heard by us.

Everyone showed up for the job including John, the owner, and Alejandro, the construction supervisor. They ALL worked on the roof together. That was a surprise as most owners just send a crew. Not John. He was right up there working with everyone else. Our roof has many curves, valleys and slopes so it is not an easy roof to work with and the crew was fantastic, working all day in the heat. (Please give your guys food and water!) They started at 8 am and they finished for the night at 9 pm, exhausted but still smiling. Everyone said good morning, how are you, have a wonderful day. Who says that today?

The next day was finish and clean up. Once the job was done the crew cleaned up the area and used their magnetic machine to catch the nails. I then noticed 2 workers on their hands and knees picking through the grass to ensure that no nails had been left behind. They even cleaned out our entire garage, making it way cleaner than before they even started the job.! The following Monday, John came by, climbed onto the roof and checked everything to ensure the job was intact and completed properly. It was. We were not disappointed.

Sum-it Roofing is amazing. John is one of the nicest and most honest people we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Companies are not afraid to charge high prices and then disappear once they get their money. My husband and I never once had or have that feeling with Sum-it Roofing. They are totally honest and don’t pull any punches. John is to the point, giving his best advice as to what a customer requires. Eris knows his job inside out. He is kind, answered every single question (there were many) and leaves you feeling totally confident in your decision to use Sum-it. We could easily have gone with a less expensive company but we felt no commitment on their part once the money was paid. We are thrilled with our decision.

After what we saw before and after the work was completed, we have already recommended Sum-it to others. We are so grateful to John, Eris, Alejandro and the entire Sum-it crew. John, thank you so much. Kudos to you and your company for a job done with heart, loyalty, and true professionalism!

My home was effected by the windstorm that hit Mississauga and was panicking to find a roofing company to try to get my roof replaced as soon as possible. I was turned down by many, which was understandable, however when I called Sum-it roofing I was asked the severity of my roofs condition and they jumped into action. I was floored by the knowledge and ability to answer any question I had by Mr. Edwards. They quality of work and professionalism convinced me to sign immediately. When I crew arrived they were very respectful and kind. Their job was impeccable and their attention to detail in regards to clean up was very much appreciated. They even stayed a little longer to help me try to fix my garage door opener. This is the company you need. You will have no regrets. Amazing workmanship and quality product. Thank You again Mr. Edwards.

Some of the Roof Shingles came out because of ice and wind storm.

Quick Response and Fair Price.

John was very informative, giving me different options on how I can insulate my house.

John was able to come on short notice to plug a leak on my roof. He took the time to inspect the source of the leak in the attic, then plugged the source of the leak as well as some preventative work in other areas. I plan to use John when the entire roof needs to be redone.

I had my roof replaced by Sum-It. They crew was very polite and punctual, as well as professional. The area around the house was cleaned up after they finished the job. The owner and sales person were also professional. The price was competitive. I would definitely recommend Sum-It Roofing to friends. Thank you John

Working with John from beginning to end was a great experience. Very experienced in the work he does. Was going to get a Columbia skylight but John came thru with a velux skylight which was much better quality.
His crew was polite and on time. A new roof within a day with a skylight.
Great job keep up the good work Sum-it Roofing Inc

John has done work for me in the past as well. He is prompt and follows through with his quote and the timeline. Most importantly he will stand by his work for years to come.

Great job, men worked deligently were polite and courteous and professional. Follow up by sales rep was excellent and on time . Would definitely recommend them

After the downpour of rain we had, I had rain coming into my bedroom through a hole in my shingles caused once again by raccoons. After calling another company (I left a voicemail, no return call whatsoever) I called John at Sum-it. He answered his phone almost right away and said he'd try to squeeze me in during the day. He kept me posted throughout the day as to how busy he was, and when he'd be at my house, and arrived not too long after he said. He examined where the leak was in my house and went outside onto my roof and showed with a pic where the raccoons had made damage in my shingles, and noted that others had not been glued down properly. He reduced his original quote by $50 and was done in no time, and even showed me the likely trees where the raccoons were accessing my roof from. John was polite, courteous, and efficient throughout the whole process. Thank you so much, a great job with great service.
