Roofmaster Ottawa

I had an amazing experience with this company. They showed up on time and did an excellent job. I had received an estimate by Tarek and found his attention to detail and professionalism was outstanding. My entire experience with Roofmaster was positive and hassle free, will definitely be recommending them to all my friends and family.

Personable, Knowledgeable, Professional.

Overall very satisfied with the service and product.

Our roof looks great! Even the eaves troughs and downspouts are quite attractive. Glad we went with the rain-pro product!

Roofers on site were very professional, courteous and kept the site extremely clean. They definitely exuded pride of work and company.

Extremely happy that we went with Roofmaster for our new home!

Want to congratulate Ernesto and his professional crew for an excellent job on our roof.Very cooperative and friendly.Clean up was meticulous.Would recommend Roofmaster any time.Keep up the good work.

RE: O'Reilly Brothers (insulation company) and ROOFMASTER:

Even in this heatwave, the interior temperature of this house is not increasing during the day. Because I do not have A/C -- and I don't even want to run a desktop or pole-mounted electric fan if I can avoid it -- the fact of remaining cooler improves comfort indoors without wasted energy.

In the evening the thermostat now displays the same number (today it was 78F) as I had observed in early morning.

NB: The furnace fan is set NOT to activate (i.e. to bring up cooler air from the basement) unless the temperature goes up over 80F. This is on a thermostat that is programmable but American-made, so the numbers are in 'oldspeak' i.e. not Celsius.

This result bodes well for this insulation being able to prevent heat transfer in the opposite direction during winter. I wanted this insulation badly due to many years of difficulty keeping the upstairs rooms warm, and draftiness during colder months.

Which insulation (the reflective/foam-board put on by Roofmaster, or spray foam applied by O'Reilly) made the most difference is hard to determine and ultimately does not matter much. The important thing is that these two products are working together.

Spray foam went into the crawl space above upstairs ceiling, which is not accessible from indoors and thus best achieved when the shingles were taken off and access facilitated from outside by removing a few boards of the roof decking, which were then put back.

This joint effort by these two companies to cooperate on insulating this house is much appreciated.

Kudos to the foam-spraying man (whose name unfortunately I do not have), as well as to the two 'mountain goats' who placed the foam boards as well as the sheet metal. Foreman Mark Fonseca showed excellent skills and was very responsive to address questions and deal with issues.

One complication that emerged was that this 1950-vintage house isn't really 'square' so the slightly trapezoidal shape of the roof meant having to trim the last metal panel to be applied on a slight diagonal. Mr. Fonseca exercised care to get this straight, and the cut edge crimped down in place.

I also wanted to express appreciation particularly to the Roofmaster estimator Mr. David Garneys, who was unfailingly pleasant and helpful.

He did his utmost to help me choose the most suitable products and also the best colour choice of sheet metal to go with existing siding. He presented a range of insulation options of which I chose the thickest, wanting to get the greatest possible improvement.

Thanks for to all who did their jobs very well. The office personnel of both companies were also helpful and courteous.

a very challenging and complex roof, everything done as expected and better. Very professional crew, asked permission first if they could work late or on weekends. No shortcuts in any way that I could determine. I will use them for every roofing job going forward.

We we had our roof reshingled by roof master on June 7, 2015. They didn't come with all the parts needed, the crew was completely exhausted and they finished after dark. My wife and I spent 2h helping them clean as we needed them finished that day because our driveway was being paved the next day. We called and asked to speak with the foreman and our call was not returned. On June 28, our roof leaked. One of the roofers came back and put caulking on 2 nail heads. There were at least a dozen other nail heads not caulked after he left that I caulked myself. On July 14 it rained again and harder. This time 4 leaks came with multiple water marks on the ceiling. The foreman returned and blamed it on the chimney flashing which was reused. We checked the quote and it wasn't recommended to change the flashing. After disagreeing on what we should cover of the repair cost, the Foreman finally agreed to make the repairs. The intermediate repair leaked again on Jul17and damaged the ceiling and hardwood. We were told the permanent solution was coming and showed pics of the replacement flashing on Jul 20. 4 phone calls later our roof still hasn't been repaired and its Jul 26 with no commitment when work will be done. I'm very disappointed with the overall service.

I had a poor experience with Roofmasters. I found that most of the team were inattentive and difficult to motivate. I finally recieved some reasonable customer service when I became fed up and asked to speak with the owner.
The workmanship on shingles and gables seems very good. The workmanship on flashings around the chimney and Hydro service pole is barely better than the average homeowner could do themselves.
I am sorry that I wasted my time speaking with the foreman, and before him the salesman, as I did not feel that they were very committed to ensuring that the job was done well and in a reasonable amount of time.
I would recommend them, with the caveat that as the homeowner, you watch the work being done very carefully, and insist on speaking to the owner the instant you become uncomfortable with what you see.

Can't say enough about the professionalism. they were on time, polite, helpful and efficient. And they cleaned up afterwards. Work was very well done . Top notch. Somewhat pricey but worth it.

Very satisfied with our experience, from the estimator to the installation crew. The estimator was very polite and honest (we have a mansard roof and he informed us that only the sides needed to be done, thus saving us a considerable amount of money). The installation crew were all very polite and worked from first thing in the morning until after dark. Follow up and walk through at the end of the job was very good and they completed the job to my satisfaction. Clean up was exceptional, and very little remained on the ground, considering they had just ripped our shingles off!!

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied, and would recommend them to anyone. They will be the ones I call when the top of the roof needs to be replaced.

Roofmaster has set the standard for service excellence! Over many, many years, I have never received better service from any contractor. The attitude of employees and their desire to provide total job satisfaction are outstanding.
