Like many houses in Leslieville our house has both pitched and flat roofs. We have also had a continuous problem with leaking roofs where the water migrates into the house making the source difficult to locate. Over the past fifteen years we have had both flat roofs and one of the pitched roofs replaced at least two times each. And still the rain found its way inside. The latest damage was in the fall of '08 and caused about $ 2500.00 damage to one of the bedrooms.
This is where Gable Roofing entered the picture. Remember, we have already hired a number of "reputable" roofing companies over the years. And each new company was more incompetent than the last. Clearly we were not going to be easily impressed by any roofing company.
When the Gable guys showed up (exactly when they said they would, surely not an industry standard), they gave the damaged room and the roofs a rigourous inspection which included pointing out some the shoddy workmanship done by previous contractors. Everything they said made sense and showed their experience and they offered a couple of ways we could go about solving the problem. Within a day men from Gable had "tarped" the weak area to stop further damage and we were ready to sign a contract.
When the crew showed up (once again when they said they would .... who knew?) they were professional and courteous and had most of the job done that same day. They never stopped working all day long. The second day only required a couple of hours work and then it was over. The roof looked great, a small extra job was corrected without our asking it to be done, and we were left with a feeling that our roofing problems were a thing of the past. We have renovated our entire house and property over the years and rarely have we had such a positive experience with a contractor. If you have been, as we have, disappointed with roofers, then I strongly recommend you get in touch with Gable Roofing.
