Nothing but problems from day one. Finally had to replace 35 year shingles that were installed in 2007, 18 years old. Roofing crew left large hole in soffit, had squirrels living in our attic, called Phil Smith, they looked at my home when I wasn't home and said they could find a hole, the hole was 6"X8", not hard to find, had to fix it myself. Roof had flashing installed backwards which caused numerous leaks and repainting required in my kitchen, again my expense to repair the roof flashing and to repaint. I had the roof patch repaired 3 times over the years, my expense. I finally gave up on the whole roof, 18 years into "35" year shingles, and had it replaced in 2004. Very disappointed!!!

Phil Smith Roofing did a wonderful job replacing our roof. The crew were very hard working, polite, and shared details about their work every step of the way. Working in challenging conditions dealing with November weather the team worked quickly and efficiently and the job was done on time and at a very fair price. I really can't think of enough good things to say about the job and the crew.

These guys are one of a kind professionals. They love all things roofing. Besides being highly skilled and super-experienced (may run 4 plus jobs a day with Phil working on each roof when he can) they are respectful, kind, and even express gratitude to be on the job! Trust me... they do an incredibly thorough cleanup every single day; they hunt for nails! And very important to me they gave me, and will give you, all the information and knowledge about roofing you need, or ask for. These people are top-flight.

I chose Phil based on my Brother in law recommendation. His workers were great they did an excellent job and left the site very clean they always put a tarp down on the ground on the side they were working on. I am very happy with the work and I do recommend him if you need a new roof

Requested a quote and after meeting Phil, I knew that this was the company that I would employ to replace my roof. Phil was very personable, knowledgeable and responsive. I was confident with the estimate and after mentioning the quote I received for chimney removal, Phil went out of his way to find a cheaper company. Excellent communication, friendly staff, and workmanship was well executed. Entire process from quote to completion was professional and seamless. Eternally grateful for the experience.

Fantastic service from start to finish! Phil offered clear and detailed explanations on what to expect during the process of having a new roof installed. The team was incredibly well-organized and finished the job within 3 days. They were also very careful to leave the area clean. We were highly impressed and will be recommending Phil Smith Roofing to our friends and family. Thank you, Phil!

Phill reroofed my 1912 house in Oak Bay several years ago - three layers of old tiles plus a tree growing tight into it. Did a great job and great clean up. A few years after I noticed a piece of flashing had blown off after a big windstorm. I called him and he had a crew there to fix it that afternoon. Good job and good service in an industry that doesn’t have an always good rep. I trust him. I have a new house now and will be calling him to roof it.

Phil Smith Roofing re-roofed our house; did a great job. What I want to rave about is I thought they forgot to clean the gutters and that's why the gutters are overflowing just now in the heavy rain. Phil came out, and discovered it's our downspout that was clogged with leaves etc and cleared it for us without charge. This A+ is my books.

Terrible. Our neighbours used them and they dropped tar on our car hood. It left permanent marks. Phil denied responsibility, failed to show up to look at the car when he said he would, and told my husband he wouldn't pay the minimal $250 fee to repaint the hood and he would have to "sue him" and "he'd been through it before" and "you'll have to prove it" and that he was "laughable". Our neighbours just told us today another car was damaged.

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. 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.
