Roofs On Homes A Division Of City 1

In Nov/Dec of 2010, I started researching roofing contractors to replace the shingles on my roof (I live in a semi-detached and my neighbour also agreed to replace the shingles; I researched the contractors -he covered the materials). Based on Homestars feedback, I chose 7 companies with ratings of 10. This was further narrowed down based on additional research involving WSIB, BBB and the Consumer Beware Website. This left 4 contractors, one of which was Danny from City 1 Roofworks. All the contractors were very professional in their inspection and quotation of our roof. Danny came it at the best price with the most comprehensive package. This initially sent up the "red flag" signal for me since you are always advised not to go with the cheapest quote. I contacted Danny the next day and advised that I was concerned with this quote and questioned how he was able to have such a great price. Danny went through all the details with me and everything made sense. As a final action, I visited 5 homes that had their roofs replaced by City 1 and all the home owners were very pleased with his work. During all this time, we asked Danny a lot of questions and he always promptly called us back with the information we needed. In the end, City 1 is the contactor we signed with. At the time of the signing, Danny even suggested a colour change to the shingles (we had black and changed to a burnt sienna). Unfortunately, there was a lot of rain this spring and the completion of the roof was delayed. When Danny and City 1 were finally able to commit to an installation date, they showed up on time, prepared the work area (covered the walkways and garden with tarps) and worked extremely hard to 1 1/2 days to complete the job. I took time from work to "supervise" the job and Danny & City 1 completed everything as they described and even more. Even the bin contractor was prompt at dropping off the bin and picking it up. The roof looks great, the change to the burnt sienna shingle was a great suggestion and we recently just had some heavy downpours and there were no leaks!! People always here horror stories about the "bad" contractors that are out there. Danny and City 1 changed my perception....they are one of the good guys and it was a pleasure working with them. Thank Danny, Chuck and Norm for the great roof! Look forward to seeing you in three years for your preventative maintenance inspection program.
