Kevin The Roofsmith recently reshingled the roof on our 1940's house . This involved stripping the existing shingles and applying new plywood to the existing substrate prior to the new membrane and shingle application . We are very pleased with the end result .
Kevin was very methodical in his approach making sure we were weather tight at end of each day . The worksite was kept free of debris at all times .We appreciated Kevin's positive energy and his assistant , Paul, was equally diligent ,hardworking and courteous . Impressive !

Kevin has helped me a few times with repairs the last couple of years. He's always responsive, shows up when he says he would, honest with his assessments and never tries to upsell you to a new roof ( which other companies have tried a few times). All this done at a reasonable price. Highly recommended....I actually did to a few people already and they have all been really happy I did.

We would highly recommend Kevin. He did an amazing job on our metal roof. Kevin was super professional and his exceptional skill and experience are evident in his work. He was an excellent communicator throughout the entire process and left the worksite tidy at the end of each day. Our neighbours keep commenting how beautiful our new roof looks.

I've known Kevin a long time! Trust me when I say he is an amazing roofer! Extreme attention to detail. He is always on site himself. Always looking for new products to improve his installation practices and improve the home owners house. Well versed and well read in all roofing knowledge.

Kevin and his crew mate, Paul, were very professional and thorough, and I would highly recommend them for your roof installation. We had Kevin inspect the roof in 2021 and replace the roof this year. He also replaced 2 skylights and cleaned our gutters. Everything was explained ahead of time and as the work was proceeding.

Kevin informed us that he has been installing roof tiles for 30 years and after viewing his work, it is very evident that he has earned the title of professional! He and his team worked diligently. Our roof looked so good when it was done that 2 neighbours immediately approached us. They were so impressed that they wanted Kevin's contact information so that he could work on their roofs! Kevin regularly updated us about when he would be able to start our project. He was polite and very friendly. He and his team worked hard and it was clear that they took pride in their good work. Clean up after the job was done was meticulous. Would certainly recommend Kevin to anyone who needs work done on their roof!

We had Kevin the Roofsmith replace some deteriorated and leaking flashing on all of our vent pipes that were installed by another company when our roof was replaced only 6 yrs ago, and obviously cheaped out without giving us options. Kevin was great to communicate with, offered an excellent product, and had all five done within 24hrs of contacting him! Honestly one of the best customer service experiences with a contractor in a long time.

Excellent work- beautiful roof and skylights! Kevin did a fantastic job! It inspired us to fix our front walkway and porch to look as good as the roof!

Support local small business!! Super happy with our new roof. Kevin was professional, thorough, personable and had the best price! He went above and beyond and even fixed a couple of things that weren't in the contract. Highly recommend Kevin the Roofsmith for the job. Thanks Kevin, Paul and Kendall!

Our disused chimney was letting a very small amount of water in and we decided it should be removed. After contacting several companies Kevin came out on top with friendly communication and a willingness to be flexible as to when the work could be done.

Once on site the service got even better. He and Anton were friendly and very conscientious. The work looks great, was done quickly and they cleaned up so well you'd never know they were there!

I'd definitely recommend them for any roof work. I will be calling again when it's time to replace our roof and also for any of the properties I manage.

Kevin did an excellent job sheeting and installing shingles on our house (replacing a leaky roof. . I highly recommend him for your roofing project.

Of the 3 roofing contractors I interviewed, Kevin was the only one who made a thorough assessment of my roof condition, including climbing onto the roof to not only determine the most suitable ventilation system, but also to assess any other preventative repairs for preservation of the existing structure. He thoroughly explained the pros and cons of different options and presented a detailed quotation that left nothing to surprise. Although his quotation was not the lowest in cost, I believe the quality of the work performed, his analysis and description of the hows and whys of the work he proposed doing meant we got what we paid for. I have already recommended him to a neighbor and would gladly refer him to anyone else looking for an experienced and professional roofer.

Him and Anton are going above and beyond in service and I will recommend Kevin and crew to everyone I know. Great service, great price, great work ethics!!!! Having the boss on the roof will guaranty you the best outcome! 5 star all the way!!!!

Kevin went above and beyond when doing the roof. Incredibly professional and helpful. Extremely trustworthy and straightforward. I would recommend him to any of my friends.

We discovered water coming through an upstairs bathroom ceiling (via a drywall screw) during the March 2020 quarantine. Kevin made time to come by on his way home and assess the issue. He quickly spotted the cracked vent, patched it and was back 2 days later with a proper replacement. He was quick, efficient, reasonably priced, and a pleasure to work with.

I would definetly hire him again if/when needed.

Kevin was amazing. He put a new roof on our house and it certainly wasn’t an easy job. He was there everyday and the yard was spotless when he left each day. I highly recommend him and have even given his name to three of my close friends.

Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
