    New Roof

    Last year I noticed some roof damage. Sokol from National Star came to do an estimate as did a few other reps from other roofing companies. Right from the start I realized that National did things different. They were very clear about everything they do to ensure a quality job and explained the value of their products and process. Choosing them from the initial contact was easy. Watching them work confirmed the decision many times over. My next door neighbor and I both did our roofs with them at the same time so I was able to observe many elements of the process. We had a discussion about doing this work and we both agreed - anyone can do it but only the guys that care do it well. These guys apply a significant amount of effort into making sure everything is done right including extra attention to details such as sealing minor cracks in stucco on the chimney to ensure you and your roof are saved from future issues. They don't nickel and dime you to death after the initial quote, they are very professional and work hard, they do their best to accommodate you while doing the job and they clean up better than any other crew I have seen.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Darren. It was a pleasure to help you with the whole process from start to finish. I am very glad that the insurance company agreed there was hail damage on your roof. Sometimes, although it is very obvious even to a non-professional, they do not admitt there has been any damage to the roof. The desire to defend homeowners' interest is a major driver for us. That means that if it is fair for you to be getting your roof replaced due to hail damage, we will fight with you until you get what is your right. Also, we do not want to see anyone fall pray of shaddy contractors. Insurance companies are known to hire larger companies that get hundreds of jobs at a time and have no other choice but to subcontract the work. Everyone have deadlines and noone really cares about YOU. Well, you are the owner of that home which is shelter for your family. So we say to everyone out there looking for a roofing company to choose one that cares about you and your family and your home. We want to raise the standard of quality and customer service in the roofing industry. We thank HomeStars.com and their staff for being of a huge help. Thank you for a well-written review, Darren.

    New Roof

    Our shingles were old and worn and we needed a complete roof upgrade. Last fall, I called a few roofing companies for estimates and felt that National Star offered the best value. When I say best value I do not mean the cheapest, however I felt that their quote was the most inclusive and offered the best products for the job. Everything is included on your quote so unless you have a high amount of plywood rot there should be no surprises during the process. They do not try to upsell you like some other companies, they offer high quality products from the start. This roof replacement is a one time deal for me & I wanted it done right with very high quality work and materials. I felt assured this would be the case after the initial meeting. We signed the contract for the job to proceed in the spring. I was very impressed with Sokol and his team from quote through completion. Communication before, during and afterwards has been excellent. They are only a phone call away and I can tell that they stand behind their work. In the unlikely event that we have a problem I am confident that Sokol and his team will handle it promptly. The roof looks amazing and the installation was completed in a timely fashion with a thorough clean up, and all issues found on the original roof were explained and discussed with us to describe how it was made better. A roof inspection with my husband with full description was completed at the end. I am confident that this roof is better now than the original. I highly recommend this company.

    Answer from pro:

    Jennifer, this must be one of the best reviews anyone has written for us. We really appreciate it. Seeing that people remain impressed thru the entire process gives us a satisfaction that is uncomparable. We promise that we will always keep doing what we are doing. It is hard not to do the best we can, because that makes us who we are. Everyone has had enough of irresponsible trades people and National Star Roofing, with the help of Homestars, is trying to change the stereotype one job at a time. Thank you again for your kind words.

    New Roof

    National Star Roofing met all my expectations and more. Sokal and his crew did all they said they would do and I never felt in doubt about the way they handled everything. I have had various jobs in the home building industry and know what it takes to get the job done, on time and in budget. They did just that. I schedule crews for installations in new home builds and I only want the best and if I needed roofers, this company would be my #1 go to !!! Clean up was done extremely well and the foreman took me through everything after the installation.. Thanks again to the guys and I am recommending them all my neighbours and coworkers. Cheers, Gord

    Answer from pro:

    Gord, thank you so much to take some time to write such a well-written review. Your view as a contractor for so many years is very important as you have dealt with so many companies in the trades industry. It is very important for us that every client we serve is sattisfied with their roof. The roof is one of the most important parts of the house, one that if not done well it will cause a lot of damages. By working together as a family, we make sure that you do not have to worry for at least 40 years about the roof. The roof must look good too because you will be the ones looking at it every day. By paying attention to the small details and keeping contact with you constantly, we make sure that is achieved as well. We really appreciate your input and are at your service if you have any concerns. Thank you for referring us to your neighbors.

    New Roof

    We chose National Star Roofing to replace our old shingles because of a very strong recommendation from a friend. When Sokol came to do the estimate he gained our complete trust with his advice and professionalism. The guys that did the roof worked relentlessly (and cheerfully), and the new roof looks fantastic. We know that they paid attention to the smallest details, and this new roof is so much better than the old one ever was, even when it was new. Now we will give the same very strong recommendation that we originally got from our friend.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi guys, it's great to hear you guys like it. Your house is the envy of the neighbourhood now. Although it took us a little longer than we had anticipated, due to the rotten plywood and the frosty morning on the first day, we were able to finish on budget and on time, the day before it snowed heavily again. It seems that things work out well for good people. Thank you for telling people looking for a roofing company about your experience with us and thank you very much for lunch and coffee. God bless you and your family.

    New Roof

    Last year I needed to replace our roof. After calling National Star Roofing Specialists, Sokol dropped by to discuss our job and to provide us with a quote. Once we agreed on terms, his team did a great job, finishing both on time and on budget. All the time while they were working on our roof Sokol's team was extremely polite to my family and I and always accommodated our requests. Further, when they finished the job they left the yard extremely clean. This spring, I had an issue with my roof so I called Sokol. He showed up with a team within three hours and checked on my problem. Even though our issue was clearly non-related to Sokol's work, he spent over half an hour helping me to rectify it, a problem related to stucco on my chimney. I would definitely recommend contacting Sokol at National Star to anyone looking to replace their roof. Sincerely, Colin and Jennifer

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for writing the review, Collin. Honesty is a virtue that defines our business. When we give a client like yourself, 15 years of warranty on labor, we actually mean it. We will come running to deal with any issue you might be having, roof related or not. When you try your best to do a job to perfection, you can sleep safe knowing that no problem will arise due to your work and no-one can criticize it. This way we can concentrate on going forward and not look back. I hear it almost every day how companies do not respond to their customer concerns when there is an issue and I ask myself how can they live with themselves knowing that they have taken advantage of someone who trusted them. It is not a matter of good or bad business practices, it is a matter of fairness. Let us know if you ever need anything else. Thank you.

    Roofing

    They were very polite and professional. I did not want to check their job but they were waiting for me for about one hour in front of my door and they had shown their work. My roof was done in one day and helf. It was done professionally. They cleaned the area even some reaming of my siding left from few months ago. I am very satisfied of their work and recommend them to all my friends.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you Reza for taking the time to write this review. It is very important to us that every home-owner is educated about the shape the roof and the decking was in and the steps we take to make ones roof last for the 40 year warranty of the shingle. We thank you for trusting us, but by bringing you up on the roof during the job just solidifies that trust. It is very common to see debris and mostly nails lying around after any exterior work, although they should be cleaned by the contractor. It only took an hour for us to clean around your house, such a small thing that most companies will not do. It was a pleasure to have you as a client.

    reshingle roof

    We were in touch with several contractors and chose National Star because of their quick response and reasonable cost. Sokol was able to send an e-mail estimate and shingle samples, along with a number of referrrals, within one day of my request. His team arrive promptly, worked efficiently and did an excellent cleanup. Sokol asked our permission to back his truck onto our lawn (still snowed in) so that his workers could put the old shingles into the back. Our hedge was damaged a bit in the process and Sokol saw fit to reduce the cost accordingly without any prompting from us. It was a pleasure to have such professional workers on the job.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Meva, It has been and continues to be an honor for us to have such great clients like you. Knowing there is people like you that appreciate the job we do on your roof gives us the extra drive to keep doing what we have been doing for 11 years now as a roofing company in Calgary. The National Star Roofing family will always be at your service with any questions and concerns regarding your roof. Thank you very much for sharing your input on the experience dealing with us as it is of immense help to others who need their roof done.

    House & Garage Re-roofing

    I received quotes from the top three roofing companies on Homestars and chose to hire National Star as they offered a good quality product at a competitive price and took the time to walk us through the quote and upcoming work. I was not looking forward to dealing with roofing companies given the often negative reviews/press but was very impressed with the professionalism and strong work ethic displayed by the National Star team. They were easy to deal with, very friendly with my family, got the job done as promised and ensured everything was cleaned up afterwards. If I ever have to re-roof another property, National Star will be at the top of my list. Thanks guys!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Bryan for the nicely written review. It is a real honor to assist families in need of a solid roof installed by an honest company. If I remember right, you had a small part of your roof exposed to weather after a strong windstorm. As soon as an agreement was reached to replace the roof, we repaired the roof for the time-being until your turn came. This is the only case we will do a repair, which is free as well. Keep up the referrals and feel free to contact us in case of a concern. Happy Holidays from National Star Roofing to your family!

    New roof shingles

    We had our shingles replaced a few months ago. After several quotes, we chose National Star because of the quality product they use and the friendliness of Sokol and his team. They did a wonderful job, even painting the flashing to match our home. Although we had some rainy weather during the installation, Sokol took the time to assure us that everything was okay. We would not hesitate to recommend this company.
