Roofing

Roof is partially completed and leaking badly. They will need to replace insulation and vapour barrier and likely some pot lights and drywall. Underlayment is not properly installed leaving gaps and shortages. Shingles are not laying flat, but cupped up in the middle. Company was contacted with very little response 20 hours ago. They should have sent someone to tarp us over to prevent further leakage until it could be fixed.

Good morning Rob,
We are very sorry to hear you are not satisfied with your roof. We've done internal investigations and unfortunately there must be a mistake because we haven't done work in Lindsay. It's outside of our service area.
If it's not your job or other location, please contact us with some information about it, and if it is our project, we would love the opportunity to make it right.

Eave Trough Replacement

The eaves trough portion of the work was not too badly done however some of the routing caused flooding in my walkout based due to shortcuts taken during the installation ... the debris shielding (main reason for this project) was not assembled properly and in accordance with the OEM requirements. I provided feedback to the salesman and the site installers however both were ignored and improper installation continued despite my request to stop and explain how the work was going to be corrected. Extremely disappointed with the quality of this installation ... My attempts to contact the salesman has resulted in radio silence ...

Hi Gy. With more than six decades of experience, we have earned a reputation for quality and craftsmanship, so we’re very disappointed to hear this. We would love the opportunity to get this sorted out, but without your full name, we have no way to contact you. Could you please send us a private message, or give us a call so we can make this right for you?

Siding and Door

Absolutely awful service. Contract dated March 28 2021. Incomplete and what was partially finished is poorly done. Every excuse has been used. Worker is sick, had an appt, supplies didn't arrive, weather. Still waiting for an update on when the job might be done. Save your time, money and aggravation and look for a professional company.

Roof Estimate

Received a roofing estimate July of 2021. I thought it was an offer to purchase my place. So the roof is 588 square feet to start, three roof vents and one plumbing stack boot needed. The roof is a gable design, very simple. Age of the structure is 10 years old and no leaks and one layer of shingles.The estimate came in at $10,000 plus HST. Industry standard seems to be $5 to $6 a square foot for a shingled roof. This is around $17 a square foot. Shop around and get some estimates is the point here.

We understand that homeowners have many things to consider when embarking on a large project, such as a roof replacement, and we encourage potential customers to do their due diligence. We know that typically customers are looking for a fair price, but sometimes opting for the lowest bidder can often end in disaster. Some additional important items to consider include:

· All of our crew members are full-time, trained and certified employees.
· We are fully insured and have WSIB coverage.
· We have an A+ Better Business Bureau rating.
· We offer some of the best warranties in the business.
· We are the only Canadian roofing company to be recognized as an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor.
· We have been in business for more than 65 years and have strong industry partnerships, which helps to create the best long-term value for our customers.

Bay windows and patio door

Although I do not agree with most of the commitments outlined on their website, I object particularly to the “Exceptional Customer Service” statement. Let me explain.
Late December 2020, my husband and I contracted the company (Collingwood office) to customize two bay windows and a patio door. Although the price tag was notably higher than some of your competitors, we felt it was justified by the quality of the products and the commitment we received from your salesman. Assuming everything went as planned, the windows were to be installed by the end of February, with the door following a couple of weeks later.
Shortly after the crew arrived on the scheduled date, we were made aware that they did not have the door. Nevertheless, we were happy to at least proceed with the windows (and did so, even though, they did not match the order - we were offered $1000 discount to have the windows installed anyway).
Back to the door now. After confirming with the office that the door was indeed not at the shop, we waited two more weeks for a reschedule, at which time, the crew confirmed that not only the height and length dimensions had been switched, but the door opened from the wrong side and the inside custom colour was applied to the outside. If praised on the number of mistakes one can make, this company would receive high praise!
Ok, as of mid-May, we had windows but no door. After a few calls, we received an email confirming that the new door was rush-ordered and should be in your shop by end of June.
We are now mid-July, and not only have we not received a door, the company is unable to provide an ETA!!!
Again, this company claims “Exceptional Customer Service” and “paramount” belief in communication.....but forget to mention the "black hole" ....

We’re very sorry to hear that your experience has not matched your expectations, Corrine. Your feedback regarding coordination and communication is appreciated, as it helps us to improve.

We do acknowledge that, as with many construction projects, there have been a few hiccups along the way, however our managers and teams have worked efficiently and professionally to try to make it right for you. As you may know, the Covid-19 pandemic has created challenges for many industries and businesses. In particular, the construction industry has been hit with significant delays in production of some materials. As mentioned during your multiple conversations with our office, your replacement door has been ordered and we are working with the manufacturer to get a firm delivery date and as soon as we get that date, we will follow up with you.

Roofing Pros

I was very impressed with the professionalism from sales, quote, Install, delivery and follow up. I liked the technical explanations so I fully understood what I was getting compared to the competitors. The speed of the whole project from start to finish was impressive. I would highly recommend this company to install your roof.

The Covid-19 pandemic has created challenges for many industries and businesses. In particular, the construction industry has been hit with significant price increases for both materials and labour. Unfortunately, in this case, we were unable to honour last year’s prices and the customer was not willing to move forward with the project, so we did refund his deposit. With more than six decades of experience, we take our reputation very seriously and we're very sorry that this customer’s experience didn’t match his expectations.

Siding on my house

I would like to thank AM Group of Companies for the great job that was done on my home. I had siding installed on my house, garage and shed. They were polite, professional and made sure the property was left cleaned. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for home renovations.

Insulation

Upon finding out that i fall outside of the company's service area, I asked for some advice on insulation. And Andrew, their manager was very kind to impart his knowledge and and gave me objective advice despite that they would not be providing the service. My subsequent research also validated his advice. I am writing this to share my level of comfort with their service based on this experience.
