A great company, that provides very quick and reliable service. We had a little leak from our roof so we called them to get an estimate on the repair and got someone to come in the next day and give us a very reasonable estimate. Three days later, Roman came in and fixed the problem and was so nice to even clean out some of the eavestroughs even though that was not part of the job. The cleanup after the job was very good and I would highly recommend getting roof work done from them.

From the first day we contacted Royal Roofing in 2017, we knew that we were dealing with true professionals. Of course it was a no brainer to call them again to install new vents for our bathroom renos in 2019. Nick and Sammy was informative and responsive to our concerns. They got back to us in a timely manner and kept us informed. The crew worked hard (2 hours for the installation of bvents in 2019 and about 12 hours for the roof replacement 2017) to ensure the job was done correctly, the property protected from damage, and the work site left clean. The roof and the vents looks great. I am very happy with this team of professionals. Thanks so much!

I met Nick here about four weeks ago three houses down he was doing a roof from Larry, one of the neighbours. He really impressed me on the work he was doing and the cleanup was fantastic. So I approached him, and talked to him about doing my roof. He gave me an estimate and it was absolutely good work and I appreciate him and it was fun working with him. He does a pretty good job. I don’t know any other roofers, I had my roof done twelve years ago and now I had to do it over again and Nick claims that this one is going to last for the rest of my time. He really does a good job, very pleasant to work with.
