Royal York Roofing Ltd

Extremely satisfied with their work. Everyone was very professional, corteous and knowledgable. Work was done on time as promised. No mess around the house. Everything was protected without any damage. All fallen nails removed. This is my second house with Royal York Roofing. I have been recommending this company to my collegues and friends and the feedback was always excellent.
Keep up the great work!!!

Long overdue...

My wife and I bought our home back in May 2015. Shortly after we bought, our insurance company advised us that they wouldn't cover us unless the roof was replaced as it was long overdue for a replacement (our home inspector caught that one for us!). I reached out to a number of companies who were either scary low...like REALLY SCARY LOW (I'm not a roofer, but know that it was going to cost a lot more than they were pricing me...I didn't go with them because I also like the work to be done with quality). Others were way WAY too high. If I needed my entire roof to be restructured, than maybe it would be okay, but the boards were still good. Bruce at RYR was great. Showed up to our appointments on time, was very educated and answered all of my questions. This price was to add rigid insulation to the flat part of the house, replace the flat roof material, front peak shingle, ice and water + all flashings. The work started and ended as expected and it looks great :) The only thing that slightly bugged me was that they left some material in my mutual driveway that I had to move one evening but all-in-all it was minor. I've called them back to do some flashing work and shingle replacement on an addition (that wasn't done back when the rest of the house was). They work hasn't started yet but so far Seanesta has been great in responding to my inquiries. I would highly recommend you give RYR a call.

New application of shingles to newly constructed hip roof over the carport attached to the house. Job was done on date promissed and within time specified which was important working with other trades. Bonus being price ended up being cheaper then quoted. Good work and price

My experience with Royal York Roofing was excellent. The Roofers were hard workers, courteous and very neat ensuring there wasn’t a nail or shingle to be found. The entire team is professional - phone calls and follow-ups handled by the office administrator, Seanesta and attention to detail provided by Bruce Windsor and Vitaliy Goshovsky.

After 19 years I needed a new roof for our house and double garage. I contacted a few roofing contractors and inquired online for quotes.
Bruce Winsors from Royal York was the first one to contact me and quoted on the replacment.
After waiting a week for other quotes no one showed up? I was very nervous on what to do but signed the contract with Royal York.
The new roof was installed within 3 weeks. I was very pleased with the crew and cleanup. Bruce followed up with me to ensure the job was done correctly. Bruce was extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with.
done correctly

Platinum service. This company should not be installing roofing. They should be teaching other companies on how to do it! From delivery and placement of disposal container the day before job began to ground cleanup after job completed, I witnessed nothing but professionalism. Quality of workmanship by the entire crew reflected pride in what they did. Thank-you.

Royal York was fabulous right from the start. Bruce sat down and explained in detail what needed to be done and showed us samples of the material to be used on the flat roof and explained the options regarding the sky light. Bruce created the trust we were looking for in hiring a roofing company and we were not disappointed.

The work was done in approx. 2 days, and the site was cleaned up everyday. The workers were polite and professional, and explained to us what they were doing.

We are extremely happy with the job that was done. We highly recommend Royal York Roofing.

My house is less than 10 years old, my wife and I are the 3rd owner of this home. Royal York's Roof is the 3rd roof this house has seen in its short life. The first roof was installed incorrectly by the builder of the home who was also the owner of the property. In an effort to maximize profits, they used shingles on a roof with an 8 degree slope. When the 2nd owners bought the home on the show Property Virgins the show was shot around 2008-2009 . This whole exchange is documented on the show (S4E2). The agreement at the end of the show was that the buyer would reduce the sale price and the new owners would repair the roof using correct flat roofing methods. The new owners mention they had a "Buddy in roofing who will do it for five grand..." End... Roll Credits.

Flash forward to May 2017 We have been living in our home for over 3 years now. Its been raining steady in the month of May and our skylight leaked. This was the first time we noticed a problem as we thought it was fixed correctly. We called a skylight contractor to have look and he came off that roof shaking his head and told us we had much bigger problems. It then hit us... The "Buddy Roof" was crap.

The rolled roofing material was not installed with the correct underlaying material or in our case any at all. It was slapped together, not capped properly. The flashings around the plumbing/furnace stacks were poorly done and could have potentially cause other problems. The skylight was installed directly against the sheathing with no ice/water barrier or flashing, not to mention that since it's a flat roof it should be built up on a "curb" so that the window is above any flowing rain water. So 2nd roof done by "Buddy" for five grand was terrible.

So I had a choice to make. Fix it or well... Fix it. Enough is Enough. RYR had an excellent reputation on Home Stars. I checked out their WSIB and sent an e-mail request for a quote. I was contacted by Lauren and she took my info and Then I met Bruce. Bruce is a straight shooter. He told us exactly what was wrong and what it was going to cost to fix with no "hustle". We gave them a deposit and they said it would start in 2 weeks.

2 weeks later a team of 5-7 men showed up. They didn't speak much english. They got to worked and stripped off the old roof. It was only 1/2 of their bin worth of material that they drove away with, something tells me a correctly installed roof should have a whole bin of garbage to take away. The garbage that was taken away was always gone at the end of every day. They always swept up there were no nails, Olfa blades, shingles, roofing product, tar, tar paper, lunch garbage or anything left on my property. The guys were great they always were friendly when they saw us walking our dog but that's hot work. I thank them very much for getting up there in the June sun to do that for us.

Bruce came by a couple of days later. He took me up on the roof when they were done. We are 1000% satisfied with the job they did. Just by looking I know its right. I gave him the cheque shook his hand and now we can sleep soundly at night knowing the roof is fixed.

I also want to give Lauren on the phones a shout out. I didn't meet her but she was great to deal with over the phone!

I would recommend Royal York Roofing to anyone looking to correct a crappy roof, or looking to replace a roof that's just old. Give em a call. I did and I'm much happier for it! I also want to point out that I have over 7 years of commercial construction experience working with a large general contractor. Royal York Roofing is a professional operation that does not cut corners. I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Except the people I bought this house from. I'd tell them to get "Buddy" again!

Hired RYR after reading other positive reviews posted on Homestars. I would recommend using RYR for any of your roofing needs. Bruce was a pleasure to deal with during the initial consult process. Pavel (the owner) was also very helpful and responsive to any questions i had. The prices are very competitive compared to other "top" homestar rated suppliers. Many thanks to your crew for all their hard work and workmanship.

We are very happy with the work provided by Royal York Roofing Ltd. It was done super fast , very neat, and highly professional. We would definitely recommend this company to all our friends and relatives . Great job !
