I saw John and Paul working on a house in the neighbourhood and before I knew it they were replacing my roof. They were super respectful with the neighbours, they kept their worksite clean and delivered as promised on budget and on time. Couldn't be happier. Roof looks great.

If you have any issue with your roof, from repairs to changing it completely, you don’t have to look anywhere else! Of course, considering you did your due diligence prior to this. Our sweet homes do depend on their roofs as one of fundamentals. John and his crew are bulletproof competent, skilled, prices with removal of old parts to the point that each day, after their they are done , there is not a single, smallest debris in a yard “ telling “ you there was work done here. All that and done within 4days! Excellency with total honestly and professionalism in one !

I had my roof done this summer 2024 by Raise the Roof Roofers! John and all of the people working with him were wonderful. They did the job quickly and kept the place neat and tidy while doing it. I found their price reasonable for the quality work they did. I would highly recommend these guys. They also made an effort to put everything back that they had to move. Honest hard working people!!!

Raise the Roof are an outstanding roofing contractor. Everything you want a roofing company to be. Prompt, effective and honest. Twice now, John and his team have handled roofing issues brilliantly. Most recent job is a 1931 house with an older roof. We wanted to go with repairs and demossing to buy ourselves a few years before total roof replace. Raise the Roof came through with flying colours.

I had an emergency leak through the roof and the skylight. John and his brother came the very next day. They were friendly, professional, and competent. Pleasure to work with. They identified the issue and fixed it right away. I would definitely call them again if I have problems in the future. Highly recommended!

We have been trying to find someone for a few months to come and replace some cement tiles on our fairly steep roof.
Had not been able to find anybody until I found Raise the roof, roofing company.
Not only did they get right back to me, but they came very quickly and got the job done efficiently, and I might add economically. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Thank you john your business for the great job.

John from Raise the Roof did an amazing job replacing my old cedar roof on my garden shed! He removed the old, rotting shingles, and installed plywood & new 30 year shingles. He guarantees his work! I would not hesitate to use his company again! Fast and efficient!

They came within a week of contacting them for a small job which every other roofing company I spoke with brushed me off after initially saying they would do it. Kept me in the loop of their schedule for when they’d be able to get the job done. They were very efficient and reasonably priced. I would use them again.

This company is unprofessional, frivolous and vexatious!
We got estimates from two roof companies to repair skylight leak last October. The reason we picked this company was they quoted us a fix rate of $1500 including gutter cleaning, while the other quoted by hours. Also John told us their repair job was lifetime warranty. After the job done, they sent the invoice, we found there was no term about warranty. We asked them to add the warranty in case they didn't fix the problem. They declined. We paid them $525 for gutter cleaning and proposed to pay the rest after 6 months if no leak occurs. Without any notice or warning, John registered a builder’s lien on our property. We tried to contact John to discuss the solution, he acted rude on the phone. We’re filing a complaint on BBB and waiting for the judgement.

This small company delivers great big service. The first person you talk to, is also the same person building the roof. So there are no mistakes or misunderstandings. There are also no middle-men, so prices are super competitive. Our roof required some fancy flashing, and a bit of solar venting. It was all done flawlessly. These guys are the best!

They surpassed my expectations and I cannot recommend them enough! We needed an emergency repair done to our roof right after the birth of our daughter. With our newborn just home from the hospital the stress of a leaking roof would have been too much. I am so thankful for the team from Raise the Roof Roofing! They came quickly, worked diligently and treated us with a professionalism and kindness second to none. Thank you Raise the Roof for your outstanding service!

John and Paul helped us redo the roof of our duplex and we are so happy with the results. They were communicative on site and as advertised, were very diligent in cleaning up at the end of each day. We really appreciated this attention to detail because our kids love crawling around on the ground and they John and Paul were sure to pick up any loose nails and debris.

I’d definitely recommend them to family and 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.
