Great Canadian Roofing And Siding Ltd

We are very pleased with our choice of Great Canadian for our new roof. Estimator Robert was the most thorough of the 4 people who visited us. In particular, he was the only one who gave us the assurances we were seeking about the roofing crews working safely. Others skirted the issue, and one even admitted that his crew would likely violate the OHS Code in order to work faster.

There was a small delay between when we signed off on our selection of GC and the start of the job. In particular, we were told materials would be delivered and the job started within a day or 2 period but in fact nothing happened for another week.

Materials and a bin finally arrived but there was still another delay of a few days before the crew arrived. This turned out to be a good thing as the weather was spotty.

When the crew finally arrived around noon on a Thursday, it was incredibly impressive how fast, efficient, and safely they worked. Subject to first on, last off, every crew member was tied off as required by the Code (ps - I was able to make a copy of the crews on-site hazard assessment. Working till the start of sunset, about 8 pm, they had about 2/3 of the roof done before they ran out of shingles.

There was a delay on Friday as they needed to get a 2nd bin out and more shingles needed to arrive. But once again, once they arrived the crew was awesome. They got the job done in about a day and a half of total work time including a very thorough clean up of our yard. The only issue with clean up is that the bin company didn't take the first bin away when the brought the 2nd one. Combined with a big evening wind storm, this resulted in some refuse winding up under the bins. the bin company didn't pick up either bin until after the crew was gone, so we were left to clean up a small amount of material after the bins were picked up from our RV pad.

Aside, from these small problems and a few hick-ups with telephone tag between us and GC production manager Bobby, we are very happy with GC,especially given that their quote came in well under all the competitors we solicited quotes from.
