Our roof was damaged during a serious windstorm at the end of November 2011, and due to the wide spread damage in Calgary, we were still waiting for one of our insurance company's approved adjusters to inspect it and provide an estimate for repair when my wife and I happened upon Tony William General Contracting at the Calgary Home and Garden Show February 24, 2012. While walking down one of the crowded aisles at the show, one of Tony WIlliam's reps asked us how my house was, which prompted me to relate the details of our story, of course, and fortunate indeed that we did so. Within a few short days they were on site to inspect the roof, provide a detailed and accurate report on the damage and firm estimate of repair (Required a complete reroof) to our insurance company, which was immediately accepted. Now, two months after that initial meeting at the Home Show, we have a new 5700 square foot 50 year Malarkey Legacy Asphalt shingle roof in place that we couldn't be happier about. I should mention at this point that I am a contractor's worst nightmare, a real Felix Unger when it comes to cleanliness and professionalism on the job site, and I suffered no small amount of trepidation prior to the crew actually showing up and getting to work. I'm sure I preliminarily drove Steven and Bridget a little crazy with my demands for onsite behaviour from their crew, but I work from home and it was important to me that we not be subjected to the usual bad behaviour exhibited by many roofing and reno crews, something I have had a great deal of experience with in the past. Good help really is hard to find. The good news is, though, they have pretty high standards themselves, and needed little prompting from me regarding guiding their crew to provide a seriously professional and courteous atmosphere throughout. With respect to tidiness, garbage was policed daily, and when they finished, other than our beautiful new roof, it was as if they were never here. If my inurance company has any sense, they will continue to use Tony William General Contracting, especially for their other hard to please clients like me. By the way, it was my wife's idea to attend the home show that day, where most of the good ideas come from in my life, so thanks to her, too. :-)
