Done Right Roofing Systems: Engineered To Last

We hope that every contractor you get an estimate from will clearly outline how they deal with the 6 Roof Elements of excellent roofing systems. But what is the difference between an average roof and a Done Right Roofing System?

Striving for Perfection

A Done Right Roofing System is made up a series of Quality Actions that exceed minimum roofing standards (see our Quality Tips). These Quality Actions are governed by a Quality Control System that has been developed to guarantee perfection in 97.4% of our installations. The Done Right Roofing Quality Control System is composed of 3 parts:

Certified Installers

Every person on your roof is a Done Right Roofing employee who has been internally certified using a course and examine developed by the National Roofing Contractors Association. The foreman in charge of the installation is a registered apprentice in training to become a Journey Roofer, the highest training certification available in our trade.

Quality Bonuses

Up to 30% of the wages paid to our roofers come in the form of a Quality Bonus. The Quality Bonus mandates that the roof must be done on time and must pass inspection the first time, and there must not be any warranty calls on the roof. If the criteria aren’t met for any reason, the whole crew loses their bonus, not just the person responsible. The result is a team of people on your roof who are highly invested in doing a good job.

Owner-Managed Inspections

We’ve learned over the years that no one cares like owners. Our entire business is built on an owner-managed system. Payment is not collected on any roof until the division owner inspects it.

A Roofing System for Every Budget

With this high level of installation, any roofing system you choose will be engineered to last for many, many, years. There is a choice for every budget.

DRR offered very competitive pricing; good work, and even added some extras beyond the contract at no extra cost.
P. Bentz, Calgary Homeowner, NW
The estimator showed up on time for the consultation and the roofing crew was here first thing in the morning and did not dink around. They got to work right away and continued right through the day. The only time I saw them stop was for lunch.
Maureen, Calgary Homeowner
Roofers were quick & courteous, property cleaned up very well. I would rate the customer service as excellent.
L. Hulme, Calgary Homeowner
Excellent work ethic – nice to see – great clean up on the job as well.
Jack, Bragg Creek Homeowner
The whole process was a pleasure…The young men who dropped off the roofing materials first thing on Monday morning, on an extremely cold Calgary morning…Right through to the final inspection, receipt of invoice/Guarantee etc. The photos for the quote provided to us by email were very helpful and the photos taken when the work was being done really showed us the problem areas. You’ve got a good ground – everyone was courteous, prompt, and very hardworking. Thanks for getting our work done in a timely and efficient manner.
S. Tharp, Calgary Homeowner
Good reliable service from quote to the completion of the job.
M. Guenter, 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 very happy when DRR identified the problem and was very honest about what it needed to be done. Very good job! Thanks to every one of the roofers.
C. Brassard, Calgary Homeowner SW
Done Right Roofing gave me a competitive quote. They started on time, worked hard, had good craftsmanship, and respectful roofers. They cleaned up everything each night – there was no mess at all!
Ted & Lori, Calgary Homeowners
Your company has replaced my roof early in June and I would like to compliment on a job well done. You have really done my roof right. The quality and craftsmanship is excellent and your team is very professional. It’s been a great pleasure to have been working with your company. Again, thank you very much for a job well done.

Quality Tips

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!
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.
To avoid leaks around roof penetrations use a “Back Pan” shingle over the back of the penetration, but under the main shingle course.
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.
A quality contractor should formally inspect every single roof that their company installs. Otherwise, poor workmanship will go undetected, leading to long-term problems.
Using a course of starter shingles up and down both sides of an open valley can insure that the valley is 100% leak proof.
Using a course of starter shingles up and down both sides of an open valley can insure that the valley is 100% leak proof.
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.
Shingle installation instructions vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. They must be followed exactly to protect the homeowner’s warranty.
