Akron Roofing

Akron Roofing replaced our roof almost three years ago. Yesterday, in the middle of a crazy rainstorm, we started to get a major leak down the stove vent. One call to Rod and someone was at the house the next morning, with a follow up call to let us know that if there were any further issues, just call and they would do a full change out of the vent pipe. Wow! We were delighted with the entire installation in the first place, but with this great follow up and responsiveness, Akron has a customer for life. We are very impressed and very grateful that there are folks around who stand by their work. We HIGHLY recommend Akron.

Rodney and his crew delivered what they promised. Rodney gave me options and the pros and cons of different shingles and installation methods. The crew arrived when they said they would, did the work fast and efficiently and cleaned up as they promised. The 3 man crew had over 50 years of roofing experience between them and it showed. Last time I had the roof done (25 years ago) the contractor hired a crew from Sask and had no skin in the game and the end result was far from good. I'm confident this roof installation was done far better than the last time. Rodney came by 3 times in 2 days to inspect the work being done and to check that the installation was being done to his standards. He has lots of certifications from various manufacturers and is a certified installer. Based on his inspection they added 4 new intake vents (at no charge) because he thought the roof needed it. I am very pleased with the work from start to finish and would use Akron again if I needed any work done to my roof.

Rodney, Deanna and the team at AKRon Roofing were excellent to work with.
Very professional, knowledgeable, and provided wonderful and personal customer service. I trust them, which is very important when hiring someone to do work on the roof of your home. The crew was hard-working, skilled, and very tidy. It is easy to see that these guys know what they are doing, and take pride in their work.
This is the company you hire when you want safety-minded and qualified professionals who actually care about doing a good job.

We were referred by a friend who used Akron Roofing and we were very pleased with their service; the owner was always available and easy to get a hold of and very helpful in every way.
His crew were very careful to not damage anything and took care
to clean up after every day and at the end of the job. I would not
hesitate to recommend them to do my roofing; Great job and
Super Service

We are incredibly happy with the work done by Akron Roofing. We highly recommend them for any roof work needed and would not hesitate to use them again if needed.

We did our due diligence and had three quotes from three top roofing companies in Calgary. We chose Akron for the following reasons:

1. Customer service - Akron was the clear choice in this regard. They provided the most detailed estimate and spent significant time with us reviewing our options for roofing material and the pros and cons of each. They educated us and allowed us to make our own decision with no pressure to use one product over another.

2. Knowledge - Rodney at Akron was the most knowledgeable of all the people who provided quotes. His concern was with providing us with the right product (based on our needs) and ensuring installation was done correctly.

3. Price - All three quotes were within a narrow band, but Akron was more than willing to price match to a similar product and installation method.

During the installation we spoke to Rodney as well as the onsite roofers every day. They always let us know exactly what they were doing, any issues they found, and cleaned up each evening before they left. They had three people working at all times on our job to ensure completion without undue delay.

Additionally, Rodney spoke to both our neighbors before the job started to ensure they could contact him directly if they had any issues. This is just one example of the many things done by Akron that add up to a great customer experience.

Not being a roof expert, it was easy to tell this crew was doing things properly and methodically. We have a parapet with a low angle roof on a small part of our house, and Rodney had his flat roof expert spend an additional 1.5 days (1 day budgeted) on this portion of our house, and with no additional cost. I have absolute faith this job was done correctly with no corners cut.

Regarding the look of the new GEM Euroshield roof, it's hard to take a picture that does it justice, especially since I'm not going up on the roof to get pictures for a google review :-). In person the product looks amazing, and with the quality of installation I believe this roof will last a very long time.

We would give Akron 7 starts if we could. Highly recommended, and once you meet Rodney to discuss your roofing needs I am sure you will have a similar experience to us.

TL;DR This company is awesome and you will not be disappointed if you use them.

My first time getting a roof replaced and they were great; super helpful, knowledgable and answered all our questions. Installers were great, professional and the work was well done. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid roofing company.

We were so impressed with AKRoN Roofing. They were here to do an estimate within an hour of us calling them and we had our quote a few hours later. It was such a positive experience and it was a matter of days between calling for an estimate and our roof being completed. They were very knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend them.

Akron replaced our roof with GAF Timberline HD shingles and were consummate professionals. If you are looking for a stress-free experience I would strongly recommend them.

Akron did an excellent job replacing our cedar shakes with hail and wind resistant shingles which is essential in Calgary; they don't even offer "disposable" low end product. The quote was detailed and they provided in depth information on all of the options. Very knowledgeable and experienced group with friendly professional service. The project was completed on time and on budget as promised. Even better they were able to schedule it for when we were away for a weekend; the only signs I've found that they were on site are a beautiful looking roof, and ONE nail. I heartily recommend Akron Roofing.
