Our first encounter with Academia was wasking up to find ater in our bathroom floor after a severe rainstorm. Academia was the only company that answered my call, provided advice in what to do until they arrived, and said they would come that day to take a look. Joe came and the leak was a result of some shingles having blown away. While he was here, my husband and he went in the attic to make sure everything looked ok. Joe mentioned that the venting should be looked at as they could feel significant temperature fluctuations. Gord came down to take a look and provide an estimate. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He also provided the name of a recent client who had similar work done so we could find out what their experience was like. We decided to get the work completed. Joe and another gentleman came by to conduct the work which had the interior work completed in a day. They came back to finish some exterior work and at our request, help change some exterior potlights as our ladder couldn't reach the roof line. The guys were friendly and left things neat and tidy. Overall, we are happy with the work completed.

Thank-you for taking the time to write this review Lisa.

Two years ago we had a very bad leakage problem at my home. Gordon Bailey was the only one who diagnosed the problem properly. He and his team did a great job restoring my roof and attic. We have had many ice ,snow and rain storms in the last two years and no leakage from our roof! Gordon was a pleasure to deal with and his follow up has been excellent.

Company Response:

Dr. Millman it was a pleasure to work for you and solve your issues. Thank-you for the positive feedback, It goes a long way to making it worthwhile.

Gord completely restored our very complicated 100 year old roof and attic. His estimate was accurate, his crew was courteous, the work was impeccable. Our experience with Academia Roofing could not have been better and I would whole heartedly recommend them.

Company Response:

Thank-you Adrianne and I am grateful you saw the value in aquiring our expertise.

Due to improper insulation and ventilation (which also resulted in mould) we had condensation weeping in our home. After several other companies quoted for new shingles and eavestrough, Gord at Academia indentified the whole scope of the problem and created a workplan to remedy the situation. We had a second opinion on the plan as presented and it was confirmed the plan as outlined would solve our issues, so the job was awarded to Academia. The team lead by Joe worked tirelessly over the hot summer. They were thoughtful and accommodating, working around people and events and cleaned up keeping our property and safety in the forefront. We also had some structure improvements completed by the team and were very satisfied that it was done keeping the esthetics of your home in mind. And on the last day of the job Joe stated late into the night/dark cleaning up to ensure that first light presented our home in the most favourable light and for that we were very grateful. Thanks Academia!

Company Response:

Eleanor, I will see you again this spring to complete a permanent solution to that callback I previously serviced. It was a pleasure to work for you and the staff were very grateful that you were kind enough to supply beverages and facilities for the entire duration of the project. Aside from that 1 glitch, the house looks and feels perfect.

Academia was not the cheapest quote but I felt they gave superior service and a thoughtful careful approach to the project that will make it last much longer. Cleanup and little extras were done well with no damage to shrubs etc. Gord followed up a year later to make sure there were no problems.

Company Response:

Jim, it was an honor to satisfy your family and your faith in us did not go unnoticed. Thank-You

The entire roof in our home needed replacing. We began our research for reputable roofing companies. A few high end companies were invited to give estimates. I continued to research until I came across Academia Roofing and Attics via HomeStars. I called Gordon Bailey, the owner and discussed our problem. He visited the site and, in a few days gave us an estimate. I also found out that this company did jobs for colleagues of mine. Although his estimate exceeded all the other quotes we hired them for the job. Gordon Bailey was very knowledgeable and thorough in discussing in detail the work involved from stripping the plywood, to insulation, etc. No details were overlooked. .Joe headed the project. I cannot say enough good things about Joe and the fine work that he does. They were at the site each day until the work was completed. At the end of the day they cleaned up the site. The crew were very courteous and respectful. We are very happy with the work and will hire them again to do other work. I would highly recommend Academia Roofing ... Thank you again Gordon Bailey, Joe, Kenny and others.

Company Response:

Thank-you for your confidence and outstanding review Mrs. Ramcharan. We also would like you to thank your colleagues on our behalf for their endorsement.

Great job. I got a quote from a number of different folks and this undoubtedly was a good decision made as service and price were very fair. Would definitely hire again anytime.

Company Response:

We are very grateful for receiving such positive feedback and hope we can continue to do so.

Called Gordon when the insulation guy found the roof leaking. Joe arrived in time and got the leaking area fixed in one hour. The fix is professional and I got the life time guarantee. Couple of days later, when the insulation guy resumed the work in a heavy rain, they reported more leaking area around plumbing pipe. Called Gordon again and he came on site during the long weekend. Gordon spent around one hour on the roof, checked the roof carefully and fixed all the defective area on the roof, which could lead to potential leaking. As I expected, those are cost free as it is the warranty they promised. Over all, I am very satisfied with the service Gordon and his team provided. We might be able to find cheap quote by shopping arround, but choose Gordon's team, we will get what we paid for.

Company Response:

Thank- you for taking the time to write about us and we are pleased to have served you. Our only regret is we did not remedy all the leaks on our first visit.

Gordon and his team did a very good job repairing our roof and fixing what another company had not done properly. They were punctual, cleaned up after themselves and were reasonably priced.

Company Response:

Carla, it was a pleasure to serve you and we hope we can continue to do so.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gordon Bailey of Academia Roofing for his professional and compassionate manner. Due to health issues, we were forced to sell our home. Unfortunately, we had difficulty selling it due to the condition of the roof. We contacted many roofing companies for estimates but when Gord came to assess the roof he demonstrated the most knowledge and expertise. He fully explained what needed to be done and he informed us of issues that the other roofing companies neglected to share with us. True to his word. his crew was out to our home promptly and the job was done with an impeccable cleanup. Due to our financial situation Gord was understanding and allowed us to make payment arrangements for the work he did. We are forever grateful to him and consider him a great friend. Academia Roofing will always come highly recommended by us. Keep up the Great Work.

Company Response:

Cosimo and Paula, We did not expect such a heartfelt review and can only say that we wish there were more people in the world like you both. I am especially honored to be called a friend and and privileged to have earned your respect.
