The Cutting Edge Roofing

We had a leak in our kitchen ceiling emanating from the flat roof above it (caused by an electrician cutting into the roofing material!). On the flat roof is a deck. We removed the planks and called in several roofers. They all offered re-do the flat roof (once we removed the decking – which would have been a major and expensive undertaking). Only Robert actually got down on his hands and knees to inspect the existing roof; he determined that the roof is in good condition and we need only patch the problem areas.

We asked Robert to return and check our work, which he did the next day. His advice (given at no charge) on what to do (and what to avoid e.g. ensure air circulation and good drainage) not only saved us a lot of money it also gave us peace of mind.

We had asked all the roofers to inspect the rest of our roofing and they all identified a small area of shingling on the back of the house as a priority problem. On Robert’s second visit, we asked him if he would consider re-shingling this small area, which he did within days.

We were impressed with how quickly Robert returned our calls, made time to visit the house, and gave us advice that was best for us but did not benefit his bottom line. And, of course, we are very happy that the newly shingled part of the roof is now winter-proof.

We will certainly ask Robert to quote on any future roofing work we might need.
