Penner Roofing reshingled our home after a hail storm and also fixed a prior leak we had.
They did an EXCELLENT job! I was amazed at how quickly they got the job done.
Would hire for another project!

Can't say enough good things about the service l received from Penner Roofing. He went above and beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone who needs handyman or new Roofing and plan on having them do my small renovation in the future. Thank you Tim for your service.

Tim was called over to my home to fix a damaging roof leak that had been improperly “repaired” twice to no good effect by another companies repair man who was under equipped to trace or repair my leak( think collapsible ladder and bucket of tar)Tim and his coworker actually went in my attic to try to trace the source of the leak. As it was not clear where exactly water was penetrating the structure he took the wise step of carefully removing an entire section of shingles and a 4x8 sheet of OSB. He then applied ice and water membrane to this sheet and carefully reattached the shingles and the sheet. He said I’m sure you’ll have no further issues from this leak and he was right. Here we are almost 2 months later and that leak is not a problem. What I liked about Tim besides his honest and pleasant demeanor was his very accurate appraisal of the bigger issue affecting my roof. I knew for a fact when I bought my home a year ago ( it’s 13 years old) that there was an issue that would have to be addressed sooner or later: A thorough home inspection was done before I purchased and it was evident that although there was lots of insulation in the attic the builders had not been diligent in ensuring that adequate channels for ventilation had been established to allow for air circulation. This is evident as the attic is warmer than it should be and the nails that protrude through the shingles are rusted from the heat differential and likewise there is evidence of OSB sheeting getting damp. The builders basically stuffed the insulation all the way to the outer edges of the attic blocking critical free airflow and trapping moisture. So while Tim was able to effectively pinpoint the general area of my leak and get that leak fixed to my satisfaction I was more impressed with his accurate assessment of a bigger issue that I knew existed even though it was not giving me grief at the time. I asked Tim to give me a quote to fix my roof and he delivered the quote exactly when he said he would three days later. He gave me three different options for fixing my roof properly and also addressing ventilation. I ultimately decided my best option was to replace the entire roof even though I might have gotten another 5 years out of my roof with some other options. Tim is going to replace any punky sheets and at the same time pull all the sheets at the lowest edges of the roof to be able to access the insulation and create the oh so necessary air channels. He will also liberally apply a high quality membrane under the shingles and I’ve also decided to replace all the eaves trough too since he has the machine and I may as well make my roof and gutters look new together. When it comes to looking after your home.. Water and moisture are the number one beast and in BC. Speaking about provinces, Tim recently moved provinces and has brought his roofing company out here from Manitoba where he has been in operation for many years. He is aghast at the lack of quality and shoddy roofing techniques he has seen here on newer construction. In talking to Tim, it was obvious that he is very conversant and knowledgeable on all things roofing. I have no reservations using him and had a good chat with a fellow pilot I’ve worked with for decades with who just happens to be his relative. That conversation sealed the deal for me and confirmed what I already suspected.. that Tim is a man of his word and would give me a great quality roof. I am looking forward to an upcoming weather window for Tim and his crew to replace my roof and am happy that several of my neighbors are wanting him to replace their roofs too.
