We're very pleased with the finished results on our new roof (shingle). Kerry brings a lot of professional knowledge and expertise to projects; we thank him and Jake for the care they showed to our home. Heather and Kevin were highly personable and professional in terms of the administrative aspects of the project, and promptly addressed all of our questions or concerns.

Just sent an email requesting an estimate for a metal roof for our family home. I liked the website (very professional!) and I have a good vibe about this company. Too many of our neighbors have had negative experiences with other roofing companies. Will update info as things move along! Smiths Falls / Drummond North Elmsley.
