Roofs On Homes A Division Of City 1

I would like to take the opportunity to express my extreme satisfaction with the recent installation of a new roof by Danny and his crew. I obtained 5 quotes and although he wasn't the cheapest he was by far the best price for warranty, product and service. The professionalism exhibited by Danny and care taken of my property by all members of his crew was exceptional. In addition, he suggested and included in his price the covering of the metal valleys and caulking of a seam in an eavestrough etc. that I had asked to be addressed. Due to the rainy weather in May, he was not able to begin the installation right away however, when I saw the finished job I would say without a doubt, that City 1 Roof Works was worth the wait!

We are extremely happy with the work that was done by City 1 Roof Works. Provided us with initial schedule and expectations, kept us informed as to progress and fulfilled all that was promised, including final clean up.

Same day service for a repair from wind damage, quickly, efficiently and no mess. City 1 then prepared an estimate for total re-roof using higher-grade materials, ensuring underlay and exisiting roof-undersurface was solid. Additonal re-routing of downspouts from 2nd-storey to 1st-storey to ground also quoted. Samples provided for review & selection of colours - all done within budget, on time and without incident. Highly-recommend, in fact, already did... Thank you City 1 - looking forwrad to future projects...kudos.

In Nov/Dec of 2010, I started researching roofing contractors to replace the shingles on my roof (I live in a semi-detached and my neighbour also agreed to replace the shingles; I researched the contractors -he covered the materials). Based on Homestars feedback, I chose 7 companies with ratings of 10. This was further narrowed down based on additional research involving WSIB, BBB and the Consumer Beware Website. This left 4 contractors, one of which was Danny from City 1 Roofworks. All the contractors were very professional in their inspection and quotation of our roof. Danny came it at the best price with the most comprehensive package. This initially sent up the "red flag" signal for me since you are always advised not to go with the cheapest quote. I contacted Danny the next day and advised that I was concerned with this quote and questioned how he was able to have such a great price. Danny went through all the details with me and everything made sense. As a final action, I visited 5 homes that had their roofs replaced by City 1 and all the home owners were very pleased with his work. During all this time, we asked Danny a lot of questions and he always promptly called us back with the information we needed. In the end, City 1 is the contactor we signed with. At the time of the signing, Danny even suggested a colour change to the shingles (we had black and changed to a burnt sienna). Unfortunately, there was a lot of rain this spring and the completion of the roof was delayed. When Danny and City 1 were finally able to commit to an installation date, they showed up on time, prepared the work area (covered the walkways and garden with tarps) and worked extremely hard to 1 1/2 days to complete the job. I took time from work to "supervise" the job and Danny & City 1 completed everything as they described and even more. Even the bin contractor was prompt at dropping off the bin and picking it up. The roof looks great, the change to the burnt sienna shingle was a great suggestion and we recently just had some heavy downpours and there were no leaks!! People always here horror stories about the "bad" contractors that are out there. Danny and City 1 changed my perception....they are one of the good guys and it was a pleasure working with them. Thank Danny, Chuck and Norm for the great roof! Look forward to seeing you in three years for your preventative maintenance inspection program.

I just had my roof completely replaced by City1 roofworks. Danny and crew are thorough, knowledgeable and hard working.

I started by research and quote process a few months in advanced. I called in 9 quotes over a period o 2weeks. By the end, I knew exactly what I was expecting from a roof replacement. After talking to all of them the choices quickly narrowed down to two.

The cheapest estimates didn’t include some basic stuff required to have a solid, long lasting roof. Anyone asking for estimates should make sure they are comparing apples and apples. Do your research: Ice and water shield on valleys and edges. Underlayment all over, Metal drip edge, Metal Valley (even if closed), flashing replacement, vent replacement, etc.

Although I had a great interaction with Danny during the quote process, I was on site during the 1 ½ days that it took to complete the job, to ensure all went as expected. Danny and crew, by far, exceeded by expectations. They were quick and detailed, even with the pretty strong winds (don’t know how they do it). They covered all areas with a tarp and cleaned up the mess afterwards. The bin was out of there 30 minutes after the job was completed.

They also re-routed a drainage to the Eavestrough so that it wouldn't land on the roof. See pictures.
I would recommend City1 roof works to anyone, in fact I already did.
A truly exceptional job.

Doing a job fast and still doing it right is a hard combination to achieve. City1 Roofing is unique in that sense. Danny takes pride in his work and insists on doing it right and never cutting corners. Yet, he also manages to pull it off at blazing speed. This unique combination sets this company apart. Danny and his team were quick to arrive at the scene when I requested a quote for installing a new roof. They were dressed professionally and wore their company logo with pride. The quote was fast and the price was fair. After a few phone conversations with Danny, we made a deal, and his team came showed up as expected on the day we agreed. They worked at astonishing speed, removed the entire old roof and replaced it with a meticulously laid new one in just over a day. Danny is a man of his word and can be trusted. I highly recommend City1 for any of your roofing needs, anything from small repairs to major reconstruction of your roof.

I woke up in the middle of a storm to find a leak dripping onto my bed. I immediately went to the Homestars website to find roofers in my area to call the next morning. I was on the phone before 8 AM. City1 was my first choice, given the quality of the ratings and reviews, but since they're not in my area, I figured I'd better call some local companies, too. My call was answered right away, and the guys fixed my roof that afternoon. They had a job in downtown Toronto in the morning, one in Mississauga after that, then they came to Ancaster at the end of the day. They went on my roof, took pictures to show me exactly what was happening, and repaired the job that day, with no mess. Of the others I called, one in Burlington doesn't come to Ancaster, 1 didn't call back, and 2 called late in the afternoon, one indicating that I had called about a quote for a roof, and maybe we could schedule that. Boy, did I make the right call and pick the right guys!

City 1 Roof Works provided us with a reasonable quote and thoroughly explained all the options pointing the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Samples of different shingle manufacturers were also brought in to help us to choose the color and pattern that we like.

A few days before the actual repair day, a crew came to bring some of the materials needed to the top of the roof. On the day of repair, they took extra care to protect our decorative concrete by covering all the areas that might be damaged. The repair job was done with professionalism and fulfilled all the works that were agreed upon. The repair was also finished in the estimated time that they said would be needed. The surroundings affected by the repair were thoroughly cleaned, removing any debris from the repair. The garbage bin that was brought in to hold all the garbage was also removed when they left our premises. All in all, we are really satisfied with the work and workmanship. Highly recommended.

I needed a new roof for my older home. I got three estimates, City 1 Roof Works being one of them. Danny was both professional and approachable; he provided the kind of solid information I needed to make a decision and educated me in the process! Danny and his crew got the entire job done in one day and did excellent work. The materials are high quality and I have a guarantee of his workmanship. I highly recommend this company, they deserve your business.

After visiting HomeStars website we selected City 1 Roof Works as one of four companies to provide an estimate for a replacement roof for our home. Danny showed up as scheduled, provided all requested insurance documents, warranty information and details of the work to be done. His quote was fair and when it came time for the work to be done there were no surprises. Danny was on-site with his crew. They worked incredibly hard throughout the day, their work was outstanding and the cleanup afterwards was thorough. These are the guys you want.
