The whole experience was great. Daily calls until the weather improved and the installers were able to start were much appreciated. Everyone was very friendly. Great clean- up. Thanks so much for a great job!
S. Newman, Calgary Homeowner, SE
Service was very good. Especially when they came back after the job was done to fix the drip edge and reattach the downspouts! Well Done!
Heidi, Homeowner Calgary
I was delighted with DRR through the entire process. DRR met all the commitments and did what they said they would do. Excellent core values.
M. Moore, Homeowner, Calgary NE
The crew was great. They were very respectful, worked diligently each day, and made sure he site was clean each day. I was delighted when you attended to us earlier than scheduled due to a leak, when you made extra effort to get our satellite dish repositioned, when you had the foresight to tarp the roof before it snowed overnight, and when the entire crew was always polite and respectful. We will not hesitate to recommend Done Right Roofing to anyone who asks.
D. Stewart, Calgary Homeowner, NW
I am thrilled with the job that was completed. It appears to be a first quality job!!! The crew that worked on my roof was very, very, polite and absolutely the nicest young men. They represent your company well.
D. Franklin-Harrison, Calgary Homeowner
My payment check was held up by 5 days and your company said it was fine. There was no demand for payment on the spot and no phone calls. Done Right Roofing took my word that the check was on the way. Thank you so much for work well done.
L. White, Calgary Homeowner, SE
Excellent service and professional. Keep it up!
Mark, Calgary Homeowner
We were impressed with competence of the roofers, the speed at which they progressed, their courteous manner and the cleanup of materials. In this matter I also was pleased to find my driveway void of materials. At this point your team seems to be working together well and all issues are addressed as they arise. There seems to be a strong customer and work ethic within your company.
S. Drumand, Calgary Homeowner, NE
Excellent work ethic – nice to see – great clean up on the job as well.
Jack, Bragg Creek Homeowner
From the time Antoine sat with us and explained everything, I knew we were choosing the best. The level of service, knowledge, and professionalism was excellent…I’m very happy with everything. I don’t know how you could improve upon that.
K. Graiter, Calgary

Quality Tips

To avoid leaks around roof penetrations use a “Back Pan” shingle over the back of the penetration, but under the main shingle course.
Using a course of starter shingles up and down both sides of an open valley can insure that the valley is 100% leak proof.
A quality contractor should formally inspect every single roof that their company installs. Otherwise, poor workmanship will go undetected, leading to long-term problems.
Shingle installation instructions vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. They must be followed exactly to protect the homeowner’s warranty.
Only tear-off as much old roof area as can be replaced or at least waterproofed with underlayment in one day. Calgary has volatile weather and you never know!
Although it is not required, it is strongly recommended that, in high snow areas, ice dam protection is used on roof pitches of 5/12 and under.
Roofing is considered a “Skilled Trade” by the Government of Canada. Everyone on the roof should have a minimum of internal Certification to a maximum of Journeyman training.
Nailing the shingle at both the nailing line and at the top of the shingle, on the roof gables, will prevent the wind from lifting up the shingle.
Using a course of starter shingles up and down both sides of an open valley can insure that the valley is 100% leak proof.
