Pricing for attic insulation was 3 x other quotes I received. I tried to follow up with the tech that provided the quote. I never received a response or a follow up. I assume he knew the quote was way out of line.

Hi Matthew, thank you for the feedback. After reviewing this internally, it appears there may have been an error in the original measurement/scope that affected the pricing you received, and we also clearly fell short on communication … More

Waste of time and money paid for A 40 year warranty didn’t get half a year now have to pay to fix. Would not recommend
Reply from the business
We’re sorry to hear about your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to clarify. Your roof was replaced in July 2025 and includes our standard warranty, which is provided with all of our roofing systems. This consists of a 40-year shingle warranty against material defects, along with 5-year 100% coverage on materials and labour through Owens Corning. At the time of installation, an optional extended warranty (up to 50 years) was also offered but was declined. We understand there may be some confusion here, as the 40-year material warranty is standard and the extended coverage would have provided additional protection beyond that. The skylight in question is over 20 years old, and as discussed, we do not perform repairs on skylights of that age. It’s also important to note that at the time of your original roof quote, the skylight was not leaking and was not identified as part of the requested scope of work. We provide quotes based on the work requested and the skylight replacement was not included. The leak and the 7-foot icicle formation are consistent with ice damming, which is typically caused by insufficient attic insulation and ventilation (such as missing or inadequate baffle vents), not by the roofing system itself. It was also noted during our conversation that you were unable to clear the roof of snow due to access limitations. Regular snow and ice removal is especially important to help prevent ice buildup around older skylights. We did offer to further assess the ice-damming conditions and provide a quote for recommended improvements; however, those recommendations were declined as well. We understand how frustrating this situation can be, but based on our assessment, the issue is not related to the roof installation or materials and is therefore not covered under warranty. If you would like to revisit the recommended solutions in the future, we would be happy to assist. Either way, we truly do hope this gets rectified, either through us or anothe

Hello Steve, we have looked through our meetings since the trade show and there is no Steve anyone has met with since the trade show. However, estimates are absolutely free ! Deep dive diagnostics that require a service technician due to a very complex situation, root cause analysis, or very uncommon situation are a $195 service fee. Its not common we need to go this route, but sometimes its required. We will write a scope out and detailed information that allows you to shop around if desired and we offer a credit if we are successful on the project.

They did a horrible job on the fascia of my house and refused to fix it. They didn’t even have the decency to look at the job when the issue was brought to their attention. No respect whatsoever. In fact they said I had their best …

Thank you Rick, and yes we are happy you went a different route as well. We can understand your review point as you simply are not a client that suits our business model. From the beginning stages of improper permitting, bullying to our staff at every point along the way, it's not an environment we would force our team to be involved in any longer. We wish you the very best with your future endeavors and we without further explanation of events, will continue to stand behind our team.

Good Morning Steve (705) 835-6625 . We only have one call from you 2 days ago and have booked you for an inspection. (Your first call talking to Mike on a weekend, does not exist with us on record and was evidently a different company) you live at 22 Highland Drive, Horseshoe. It's a very steep roof. We could not send someone yesterday due to weather for safety reasons. Steep roofs can not have snow or be done on rainy day. We are sorry that since you called on Saturday, that Monday was bad weather. Perhaps you are able to find some one else who can climb your roof on a rainy day. This one star rating, does not represent our business or our practices, we can not control the weather.

I'm extremely upset with the quality of work. They've come out twice now, overcharged me and I still sit here watching my roof leak into my living room. And have been told they can't come back this week.

Hello Mark, as mentioned your roof installed by others is terrible work. When roofs are installed improperly, the proper way to fix is, is replace it. We are sure you got a great deal on your install but unfortunately are going to pay more … More

When our gutters were overflowing in a heavy rain, we thought a section had come loose. Ainger Group sent someone the same day that I called. Austin arrived right on time and took a look. He found the problem was a blockage and was friendly and honest in informing us that our gutters did not need repair or replacement. I would definitely call this company again in the future.

The entire process from reaching out, getting a quote, booking the job and the job itself was smooth and professional. I am extremely satisfied with Ainger Group and the work they did installing additional attic insulation. Everyone I interacted with was personable and kind. I will definitely be using them for future jobs at my home!

I had a roof inspection done last week through the company "Ainger Group". My experience was very positive and the technician, Rick Robinson, provided a very thorough evaluation of our situation. He provided us with the necessary details, along with his professional opinion and recommendations moving forward. I would recommend Ainger to anyone who is looking to have their roof inspected and serviced throughout the summer season! They are very detail oriented and always put the customer and their needs first.

Hi Brenda, thanks for your review. The ability to pivot, oversee, execute and communicate are few of the reasons we have dedicated Project Managers like Jason on every job. And apologies for a few of the calls going unanswered - you're right, it's been quite busy lately and a few calls did manage to slip through the cracks (we're constantly working to plug those gaps). Have a wonderful day!

The whole process with Ainger group was smooth. I called them to get a quote on getting new shingles and minor repairs to my roof. They were quick with their response, had clear and thorough communication, and cleaned up great when they were done. Would definitely recommend!

Austin was an excellent rep for Ainger Group. Every thing from being on time, answering all my questions and making a few suggestion. The job is now complete and it went as seamlessly as getting the quote from Austin. Chad and Greg(?) did and awesome job. Before and after photos were provided to show the difference and their clean up was good. They cleaned up and left before I could even say thank you. Job well done. Looking forward to using Ainger when we need our roof done. Thanks again to everyone at Ainger!
