Commercial flat roof above store
Towards the end of 2015 I bought a commercial property in cottage country (Bobcaygeon). I'm from Toronto but jumped on a good opportunity to get a rental property where I have my cottage. The property was vacant for over 3 years so the roof was in poor condition and developed a leak. I got quotes from a few different local roofers however none of them provided me with a sense of comfort (that's cottage country contractors for you!). I knew of M&R as they are based near my Toronto home and have seen their vans throughout the city so I decided to get in touch with them. Although M&R's quote was not the cheapest it was quite competitive, but what I was most impressed with was Marcin's highly detailed and informative quote and explanations. This gave me the comfort I wanted as I knew exactly what I was going to get upfront. The best part was they were willing to come to Bobcaygeon to help me out. I do believe you get what you pay for and cheapening out on a roof is not a wise move (especially with harsh winters in cottage country). M&R showed up when they said and the job took 4 days overall, one day longer then expected but to me that meant they did not rush (the guys came back on the Friday to handle finishing touches). I really appreciate Peter's (metal worker) job as he took his time working some intricate details - the metal work and flashing throughout and new eaves trough system look spectacular. I appreciate that Mark called me immediately to discuss a potential issue after the old roof was torn off and offered up solutions. Jordan and the rest of the crew (forgot their names) did a great job keeping the site clean and worked quickly and efficiently. Yes, I checked up on them regularly and they were always working. They even replaced an old chimney stack/hot pipe without me even asking for it so that was a nice surprise. Overall, the job went smoothly without any issues and the new roof not only looks fantastic, but the leak is gone and it is warmer inside partly because of the extra insulation added. The way my roof ties into the neighbour's roof required a lot of detail-oriented work and finesse which the guys executed well. I do not hesitate to recommend M&R and thank you for the great work and coming up to Bobcaygeon!

We are happy that in the end you selected us for the project because there were many details on the roof that were handled poorly before especially the drainage because of the multiple roof levels due to subsequent additions in the back. Replacing the parapet wall and the non functioning scupper that was raised too high with (sloped) tapered poly-iso insulation and a drip edge with eavestrough was the correct solution. The project turned out well despite the first week of January production in Bobcaygen. Thank you for your business.
