roofing & ventilation

My very well maintained house was built in 1954. Plaster walls, sloped ceilings, different roof levels. I had water damage due to ice damning. I had 3 estimates. The other 2 well known Toronto companies would not get on my roof or take pictures. They both said my first option was to rip out my kneewalls. When I said absolutely not, the 1st sent an estimate with venting to be done by a "handyman"???? (no thanks). The 2nd said strap over existing roof & put new roof & shingles on???? (would this even comply with bldg. codes???) His 2nd option, heat cables under shingles???? (another thing to break down or go wrong). Little did these 2 companies know, I'm an extremely handy person myself and I've been around for a while. They just wanted to do whatever was fastest & easiest for them with no regard for me or my house. Then along came Bill, owner of Brookside. He went in my attic & took pictures, he went on my roof, measured & took pictures. He returned with the pictures blown up to 8X11 & a written estimate. He explained how he would open the soffit vents which were blocked by blown in insulation. He said he would cut the roofing boards to slide in baffles and he suggested ridge vents. Bill said it would be done a section at a time. He said he would oversee the job because it was very complicated. Well my choice was obvious. Bill had nothing but respect for my home. They started on time, Tues May 14. And true to his word Bill was there every day. Bill, Robert & Kevin arrived between 7:30 & 8 am every day & worked 12 hours a day and almost non stop. Bill called me outside numerous time to show me how the soffit vents were opened, to show me how the roof boards were cut and the baffles and ridge vents installed. Again he took numerous pictures. They were neat & tidy and cleaned up each day before leaving.They tried to finish on Fri May 17 but couldn't so they returned on the Sat. morning of their much needed holiday weekend for 2 hrs. to complete the job. I have never hired a company before that worked so hard & diligently. I will definitely recommend Brookside to my family and friends.
