a new flat roof

Bill and his team came on time, explained the job in detail, photographed it in stages, completed on time, cleaned up their work site, and are returning to repair a different .section of my roof that was not part of the original contract.(at no cost) Honest, friendly and efficient, and he does return if you need help after the job is complete. i have used this company on 2 homes over 25 years. and i will continue to use them again and again.

Solar Roof Vent Installation & Attic Soffit Clearance

I chased roofers for months to do this job. 10/12 pitch and 3 floors up, these guys reviewed my case, made an appointment, arrived EARLY (hahaha) and did a fine job. They took the time out to recommend further changes down the road, by different tradespeople. I found that quite helpful.

Trustworthy, reliable, and did a great job. I went through 8 to 10 roofers before that couldn't read emails, didn't forward the right information amongst company members, didn't call me back, had email addresses posted on websites that didn't work…these guys were what a paying customer expects, and then some. I highly recommend them to quote on your work. The last people you want cutting holes in your roof are amateurs, and these guys get rid of that pain.

Thanks, guys!

Roof Venting

We have a 100 year old home with open eaves that had never had soffit vents. It made the attic very hot in summer. Brookside did a wonderful retrofit job. Now the attic is at the same temperature as outside.

roofing & ventilation

My very well maintained house was built in 1954. Plaster walls, sloped ceilings, different roof levels. I had water damage due to ice damning. I had 3 estimates. The other 2 well known Toronto companies would not get on my roof or take pictures. They both said my first option was to rip out my kneewalls. When I said absolutely not, the 1st sent an estimate with venting to be done by a "handyman"???? (no thanks). The 2nd said strap over existing roof & put new roof & shingles on???? (would this even comply with bldg. codes???) His 2nd option, heat cables under shingles???? (another thing to break down or go wrong). Little did these 2 companies know, I'm an extremely handy person myself and I've been around for a while. They just wanted to do whatever was fastest & easiest for them with no regard for me or my house. Then along came Bill, owner of Brookside. He went in my attic & took pictures, he went on my roof, measured & took pictures. He returned with the pictures blown up to 8X11 & a written estimate. He explained how he would open the soffit vents which were blocked by blown in insulation. He said he would cut the roofing boards to slide in baffles and he suggested ridge vents. Bill said it would be done a section at a time. He said he would oversee the job because it was very complicated. Well my choice was obvious. Bill had nothing but respect for my home. They started on time, Tues May 14. And true to his word Bill was there every day. Bill, Robert & Kevin arrived between 7:30 & 8 am every day & worked 12 hours a day and almost non stop. Bill called me outside numerous time to show me how the soffit vents were opened, to show me how the roof boards were cut and the baffles and ridge vents installed. Again he took numerous pictures. They were neat & tidy and cleaned up each day before leaving.They tried to finish on Fri May 17 but couldn't so they returned on the Sat. morning of their much needed holiday weekend for 2 hrs. to complete the job. I have never hired a company before that worked so hard & diligently. I will definitely recommend Brookside to my family and friends.

Complete Roofing System re/re shingles

We had 5 companies come out to prepare estimates for our roofing project. One thing that we quickly discovered was the inconsistency and lack of professionalism rampant in the roofing business.

Brookside Roofing is a shining star in the roofing industry. Bill was honest, helpful, and made sure we were happy with the results. His crew were on site early and were able to keep the job site organized, clean and safe. The pricing was very reasonable and the finished product looks and performs flawlessly.

Highest customer rating for this company and the work they perform. You can feel comfortable with hiring Brookside, I am glad that we did!

Replace Roof on Semi-detached

My challenge was replacing the roof on my side of a semi-detached but have it look similar to my neghbour's, older roof. Bill went through the choices found a shingle that matched the colour of my neighbours. He also had the installers cap a window. The job was done quickly. The installers were a great crew and they cleaned up quite thoroughly. -a very professonal job.

Shingles replaced, Attic re-ventilated

Brookside Roofing provided excellent service at a good price. They were very professional and had paper work backing up all labour + warranty. They cleaned up very well after the job was complete, and were quick and courteous. They made the whole experience very easy. I would definitely reccommend to others!

roofing, attic ventilation

We had originally written a positive review for Brookside shortly after they finished the work, however 3 years later we have had 2 leaks. Each time Brookside did send someone to caulk spots on the roof, but damage was already done to the interior of the house. We recently sold the house, and during inspection discovered that the styrofoam venting baffles the roofers installed were simply thrown onto the attic floor from the oustside. Would not recommend to anyone.

Cedar shingles, asphalt shingles, vents, trim.

Good service from the beginning and pleased with the shingle work, however, trying to arrange for the completion of the simplest of trim work (approximately 9 months and counting now) has become beyond frustrating. Follow-through is severely lacking.
