    Roofing

    At the end of the adventure we are very happy with the roof, however the journey was very stressful. The sales part of the process was very quick and smooth, the product was dropped off just prior to the start of the install as expected. From there everything went off the rails. The first installer and crew showed up "eventually " looking very unprofessional and disorganized it was literally 3 guys in one midsize car with ladders sticking out, and they almost didn't stay because their compressor was faulty. I ended up loaning them mine so they could work for the day. Turns out their day is from 11am until 3:20. After 3 weeks of not showing up or calling or calling and giving very creative excuses I gave up and called the company and said a new crew was needed because I didn't want that crew back. 3 days later a new crew arrived and the difference was extreme. They came in looking and acting professional and had the roof done in 3 days. I have no issues with the work done by the first crew, what they did on the roof was done well, however I had damage done to to basement window covers because of falling wood as it was cut, and the second crew made a point of telling me they did not smoke so the cigarette butts all over my yard were not from them. So in the end I have a roof I like but it took over a month to get there, and in my opinion the disconnect is in a lack of follow up from the company. It is a higher price point product being sold under the premise of highly trained and skilled people and I was told a week max even with a rain day thrown in. It felt as though after the initial sale the company simply subbed the job out and forgot about it. The damage on the property was discussed a couple times and the response I kept getting was and I quote " but your happy with the roof right" in the interest of full disclosure I did have 402.00 deducted from the contract cost. But I had had to ask for compensation it was not offered.

    Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are very sorry to hear that the installation process was a stressful one for you. We do try and follow through with every single job past the point of completion to ensure that we’ve achieved complete satisfaction with our customer. In this particular case, there were some issues that arose with the first installation crew. When we received word of this we assigned a new crew to the job. They started as soon as they were available and demonstrated the kind of installation you can expect from Hy-Grade. Unfortunately, there were a few challenges faced throughout this process, and you did not receive the flawless experience we had hoped to provide. As with most businesses, issues do rarely arise with employees and those representing Hy-Grade. We can assure you that your concerns were taken seriously and dealt with accordingly. We do sincerely apologize for the stress of the installation process. It is our intention that every customer has a flawless experience with us from beginning to well after the project is complete. Despite your experience with installation we are glad to hear you’re happy with the finished product. We thank you for your feedback, it is greatly valued. Should you have any further concerns that you feel need to be addressed, please don’t hesitate to contact us. -The Hy-Grade Team

    Roof

    We had our roof installed almost 2 years ago and I could not be happier. They made sure everything was square and true, and the guys where friendly and personable. There was never a mess left. I would recommend this roof to anyone thinking about replacing their shingles. Thank you so much you are awesome. Was very glad to see your booth at the lindsay home show. Keep up the great work

    Installation

    Our roof was just completed today (March 21/17). The crew that came were very quick and efficient, I fully expected to have "leftovers" in my yard, but they did really well with clean up.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Amanda! Thank you very much for taking the time to review us. We are happy to hear that you were satisfied with the installation and clean up. It is definitely a must for our installation crews to treat customer's property respectfully and clean up completely at the end of each day. We will continue to enforce this expectation so we keep getting reviews like yours! Thanks again!

    Referral credit

    Bought roof in 2014. I made a referral about a year later and received a check in the mail for my work. Thank you Hy Grade. Made another referral in the winter of 2016, received another check as promised again. If I keep this up maybe I will be able to recoup the cost of my roof . I wish. Still it is a great program that Hy Grade offers for customers to spread the word about the best product on the market and make a few bucks along the way. Maybe I will get invited to their Xmas party this year. Thanks Hy Grade glad to be part of your family.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for your review Scott! Thank you also for being such a great customer and referring us to your family and friends! If you keep referring qualified referrals to us we will keep rewarding you. We really appreciate your support!

    Steel Roof

    We are very happy knowing we never have to think of shingles again! We added value to our home, and if we were to move, we would seriously look into this option again. It was between 28 - 35 degrees most of the time our roof was being worked on, but our installer Chad was diligent, hard working and determined not to let the heat slow him down! Highly recommend HyGrade!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for sharing your review Sue! Great to hear about your experience with the installation as well. Please enjoy your peace-of-mind and thank you very much for recommending us. We hope to stay connected with you as you enjoy your new Hy-Grade!

    Roof Rip Off

    The installation was terrible and the customer service was even worse. 3 years later we paid off the loan financed through Hygrade and found out there was a lien on our house. The nightmare never ends!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Sheila, Thank you for taking the time to review us and for making us aware of your concerns. We are sorry to hear that we’ve fallen short of expectation in your eyes and appreciate the opportunity to address this. As far as financing goes, most of the loans through our two vendors are secured loans. Specific details of your contract would have been reviewed at the time of signing. It seems that there may have been some misunderstanding of the loan terms. We are still partnered with the same two financing lenders as always; Home Trust and Finance It (previously TD Financing). If you would like us to get in touch with them on your behalf or if there is any way we can help on this end, please let us know.

    Roof facelift

    Hy-Grade roof is very good, making our house look so handsome. We had asphalt shingle roof before, not too old. But after installing the Hy-Grade roof, our house immediately takes on a very elegant look. We really like the new roof.

    Thank you for choosing a Hy-Grade Wendy! We are pleased that we got to provide you with permanent peace-of-mind and are glad your enjoying your stunning new Hy-Grade. Thank you for also taking the time to review us!

    Hy-Grade Steel Roof

    I was awoke in the middle of night by a splash of something on my forehead. A flash of lightning greets my opening eyes from a skylight above me. The sounds of wind driven rain pounding surrounds me followed by a thunder clap and fear my roof is gone. Why am I exposed to natures elements? Water is streaming inside the window behind the headboard and splashing on the window sill. Another sleepless night. Something must be done. Another stormy night I awake to a flash and the distant sound of rain and thunder. Not again! A peaceful calm envelopes me as I relax and drift back to sleep secure in the memory that my Hy-Grade steel roof will keep me safe and dry through the storm tonight and for years to come.

    Answer from pro:

    That was such a well written explanation of what it feels like to own a Hy-Grade! We're glad your home is now safe and sound from the many storms and extreme weather we face in Ontario. Thank you very much for sharing your story with us!
