Roof replacement

Overall I was satisfied with the work. I was originally slated to have the work start over a month later, but a cancellation occurred so I was able to get it done much sooner, so that was a good thing. The only complaint I had was that they kept their lawn sign out for weeks after the job was completed.

Thank you for this information Frank. We do our best to deliver an excellent product and service. Some times we get held up a little in the summer but I am pleased we were able to accomodate your timing. We will do our best to take our job sign down a little sooner. Perhaps we are too proud of our work! Regards Ken Mayhew, President

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

We want to pass along to you the positive experience we had with Jonathan, Manny, and the rest of the crew with Penfolds.

As most consumers do we shopped around for a quote and a company to replace our roof. Penfolds is known by reputation to be one of the best roofing companies in the industry. We then contacted Jonathan in the Abbotsford location. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and helpful during his consultation with us. He is very personable, friendly and professional, definitely an asset to your company. As my husband and I are both in sales we appreciated his easy manner and sales approach.

After the deal was made, we were walked through the process, and knew what to expect during our roof replacement. The workmanship, skill and personal consideration of Manny and his crew was exceptional and well deserving of our appreciation as well.

In summary we are happy with Penfolds your staff and our new roof.

Roofing

Our re-roofing job included both tiles and torch-on. It also included some rebuilding of a rotted section and replacement of two skylights. Penfolds was the only company that we quoted who could handle the whole job and in a reasonable timeframe. We were very happy with the work done.

Our roof

It was an expensive project but a large one and they installed a skylight in our kitchen to add some light. We have never had an issues with it after 3 years. They were very tidy, and cleaned up. We had a cedar roof prior and they put up a duroid shingle.

I had a fantastic experience with Jason at Penfolds. He was a great salesguy who made sure I knew what was going on. The roofers did a great job as Im the kinda girl that will go up on the roof to check out the work! I have already recommended to 2 other satisfied clients and continue to do so!

Replace cedar roof with Ziplok metal roofing

Penfolds Roofing Inc. installed a new Ziplok metal roof on our home. The result of this Penfolds roof: Unsatisfactory installation and service (leaks, rust, improper use of flashing and caulking);
Misleading advertising; and Unfulfilled written contract (did not design specifically for our home – resulting in $28000 in damages to home).
Penfolds and I negotiated via the Better Business Bureau to settle this claim but they did not follow up as they said they would. Penfolds continues to deceive customers. I have lost my trust in their sincerity, honesty, and integrity. I would never ever use them to do any work on my home again - not even for free!

I can prove/document everything I claim – and I have many other facts I can/will share with Penfolds potential customers. Why not let Penfolds customers decide who to believe? I give permission for Penfolds Roofing Inc. to release my contact information - and I will glady discribe how they treat their customers when their workmanship turns into nighmares.

This company does not remember some important facts of this roof replacement:
1) Our new roof leaked and damaged interior walls of our home during the first rainfall.  Penfolds said everything was perfect.
2)This roofing system was designed specifically our home by Penfolds and this design caused major damage to our home.
3) Penfolds quoted $4935 to install snow stops and vent savers, and then after months of negotiation they said they would supply them for our home at no cost to the customer. A normal person might think Penfolds would do what they said. But then, within their written “release”, they limited the cost of snow stops to $250. I followed up on my part of our agreement but they did not.
3) After many months of negotiations and broken promises, Penfolds said they would participate in a binding meeting. Months later, as this meeting was to start, Penfolds said they would not take part.  The BBB did not refuse to hear my complaints (as Penfolds stated), the BBB encouraged me. I believe Penfolds should not be allowed to be a BBB member.
4) Penfolds says they would like to come to a reasonable resolution. I too would like this, but it seems unlikely considering Penfolds do not do what they say they will do.

We replaced this roof 2001 and everything was perfect. There was an abnormal accumulation of snow in 2009 that resulted in some fascia boards falling off which is unrelated to the roofing we did. You then wanted us to supply snow stops which we agreed to as a gesture of good faith. When we sent you a Release for your signature you did sign but you returned this with an Addendum that included another full list of demands that we could not agree to. You then went to the BBB at which time your demands had grown from $250 to about $20,000 which is why the BBB refused to hear your complaint. As a company we did everything humanly possible to satisfy you but we were not successful. We will be more than happy to meet you again to see if we are able to come to a reasonable resolution to your demands which are not even related to the roofing project we did some 10 years ago.
