    Solar Panels

    We were thinking of having solar panels installed on our roof for a long time. Scott and his team made it very easy to pull the trigger. The entire process was painless and Scott was readily available to answer any questions or provide support. I would highly recommend contacting Scott at Penfolds if you are in the market for a solar power system. Thanks again to Scott and his team!!

    Answer from pro:

    There are many technical details with solar panels and understanding how well they work. Applying for the government grants and loans can be exhausting for some customers. Scott is amazing, along with so many other team members, at educating customers and making sure the process isn't overwhelming. Whether it be answering questions that arise during any stage of the installation, or guiding customers through the grant application process, our team is always here to help. Thanks very much for you business and your time to write a review, Raymond!

    Roof replacement

    We changed our roof from tiles to asphalt shingles. The Penfolds crew did such a great job. They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the projects quickly and as scheduled. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have their roof replaced.

    We're glad to hear how well everything went with your project. Thanks for taking time to provide your feedback. Much appreciated!

    Replace my roof

    I contacted eight roofing companies. Two companies did not return my call. Another two said that they would give me a quote, but never did. Two companies never visited me but gave a quote after looking at an aerial photo. PENFOLDS came to the rescue. Luke visited me twice to give me a quote and to answer my questions. He was friendly and professional. Deal. The replacement of my roof began (albeit a month later than planned) and it only took TWO days!! I was told that their best crew was in attendance. They were indeed. Luke dropped by one day to see how things were going. I like that man. I am happy with my new roof and would recommend PENFOLDS to anyone.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much for your feedback and we are glad to have been able to help with your project. Thank you for your kind words about Luke. I will make sure he knows your appreciation. Thanks for your business and we are thankful to have been a part of your project.

    Great company. Minor problem at the start and they came out the same day and fixed it. Scott was our salesman and he was great. Very prompt in any question I asked. Would highly recommend the company and Scott.

    Solar Panel Installation

    We had hired Penfolds to install a new roof, prior to installing our Solar Panels in August of 2022. The customer service we received was first rate for both the roof and solar panel installations. The only delay for the solar installation was not Penfold's fault, but from the Township of Langley Permit approval, which was extremely slow to review our application. Penfold staff were very diligent in keeping us updated. We would highly recommend Penfolds Roofing & Solar. Scott along with Jose and their team were exceptional to deal with. We would have no hesitation to use this company going forward.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for such a wonderful review! yes, permitting with cities can take some time, but our teams are experienced at managing every step of the process on your behalf. Communication throughout every stage of your project is key and we do our very best to ensure our customers are taken care of every step of the way.

    Solar panels

    I contacted Penfolds to install solar panels given the government rebate program that covers $5600 of the project for a 5.1 kW system. Penfolds staff were professional and efficient. I have been running the system for a year and noticed a large reduction in my hydro bill. The system for obvious reasons works really well in the summer and completely offsets the cost of running 4 tonne AC unit on a large house with large windows. Cost to me was $9500 after rebate. In first year I have saved hundreds on my hydro bill if not into the thousands. I expect the system to pay for itself in under 10 years meanwhile reducing my carbon footprint significantly.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks very much for your review! We are so glad to hear how the solar continues performing for you and your home. The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and we love hearing from customers who verify how well solar power works in Vancouver!

    Promises Promises

    Reading the last review brought me concerns as I'm experiencing the similar reasons for supposed delays; citing supply issues, labour shortages etc. We have had the best rain free weather in the last 15 years so poor weather can't be the reason for delays. My various neighbours who contracted their work after me have had their roofs completed whilst I wait for the snow months. My confidence level at this point is low. Had I not made a substantial deposit I would cancel the contract. My suggestion to others is to insure a completion date is written into the contract and that the deposit is fully refundable if the work is not started by a certain specified date.

    Answer from pro:

    We thank you for your patience in completing your reroofing project. 2022 has presented many different challenges, primarily due to weather. Like other roofing companies and outdoor trades, jobs planned for the Spring couldn't be completed due to the massive amounts of rain from Nov 2021 to June 2022. We had a large number of jobs to tackle as soon as the weather turned around and we are thankfully nearly caught up from these delays - but not without frustration for customers, like yourself. We apologize for the impact of these delays on completing your project. Our teams have been tirelessly working away and I hope we can have your project completed very soon. Please contact me at marketing@penfoldsroofing.com so I can further look into your specific project. Thanks for your patience and your faith in our teams.

    Terrible customer service; still waiting for my roof

    Very unimpressed and would not recommend. I would speak to the quality of the roof but they still havent even started the project even though I initially contacting them to do the job a year ago. (I will update the review when the work actually gets done.) It took a lot of persistence on my behalf to actually get a quote and confirm the contract. Their quote appeared professional which is why I chose them. They told me they couldnt give an exact time on the job being completed but implied it would be done this summer. I have never been contacted by them since I signed the contract and every time I inquire, the time estimate is pushed back by months. Currently they estimate to start my roofing project in late October/early November (but Im not holding me breath), so my house will be opened and exposed during some of our rainiest weather seasons. They said they will tarp my roof if I get a leak in the mean time but the whole point in getting the roof re-done is to precent any house damage in the first place.

    Answer from pro:

    We thank you for your patience in completing your reroofing project. We hear your frustration due to the delays you have experienced and please know our teams have been persevering to get to your job as promptly as we can. From Oct 2021 until June 2022 we faced an unprecedented rainy season, which prevented our teams from safely working on roofs, and this was the primary cause of delays we faced. The poor weather impacted many, many roofers and outdoor tradesmen. Many jobs planned for February or March were delayed well into June, and this created a snowball effect. We had a few unforeseen circumstances that affected our crew designated for your project. Our crews have been working non-stop to ensure we complete these scheduled jobs before the rainy season sets in. We apologize for the communication delay you experienced. We identified an error during an internal transition that affected a few customers and have addressed this issue. We are glad knowing your project will be completed as soon as physically possible. Thanks for your patience and your faith in our teams.

    Warranty 101

    Warranty 101 1. Make sure you have found the Workmanship Warranty Term (in years), in your contact for your new roof. 2. Make sure you have found the Roof Warranty Term (in years), in your contact for your new roof. A packaged Life Time Warranty is a nice marketing term; but, whos life mine, yours or the day the roof leaks? If the company offers a final inspection of the roof, demand a written report that shows that no visible workmanship issues exist. If they do not offer a final inspection of the roof, add it to your contract and initial the entry. If they resist, what does that tell you? Without the written report, you are left out in cold even with the proof on the roof of visible workmanship issues. Hindsight is 20/20. I didnt and I am now out over $4,000. My issue is outside BBBs scope to help. I appreciate that they tried.
