These people came over and cut a piece of Eastrough and replaced because the old one leaked. Ever since the trough has leaked. I called Joe the owner, he told me he does not guarantee repairs There will be an extra charge to repair properly. Bad Customer Service. I would never ever use these people. Better to go with a roofing company that guarantees no leaks. Cash deal they did not to give us a receipt,

Left 2 messages a week apart. I get that everyone is busy, but no reply at all.

I have been fighting with this company for over a year to fix the bad job they did. The tiles started to fall off within weeks of them being installed and it needed repairing now the roof looks completely patched and aweful and they won't fix it. Going to get my lawyer involved.
Reply from the business
Hello Natalie, Upon review of your file, it was determined that the brand of shingles on your home that existed prior to installation were IKO brand shingles. While inspecting, during proceedings following and up to the installation, you and your insurance company were cautioned at length about using IKO shingles to complete the work. Despite the insistence to use a brand we not only trust but are certified applicators of, you chose to use IKO brand against recommendations. As cautioned and expected, wind damage occurred once again due to the shingle quality and location of your home. The mismatch in colour was due to a dye lot that the IKO brand ambassador and representative explained was beyond control. Best wishes to you and yours during these trying times.

I can’t say enough good things about this company!!! I wish I could give 10 stars. I had a very tight deadline and they fit me in so quickly. Rob and his team are excellent. Kind, courteous, punctual and hard working. They really go above and beyond for their customers, and are extremely accommodating with times and schedule. Rob even caulked me easetrough because he noticed it leaking. They get the job done right, and I am beyond happy with my new roof! Highly recommend Boss Roofing!

After a large branch, during the 2025 ice storm, fell on my garage roof and caused extensive damage, my insurance company hired Boss Roofing to do the repairs. Ryan and his crew did an excellent and thorough job with the repairs. They …

We have a Northlander Cottager in the Peterborough area. We had an add a room installed on it. During install, there must have been movement that caused a leak that no matter what we did, we could not find. I was given the name “Boss Roofing” from management in the park. I was really tentative about calling because the last time we used a roofing company in the area, they used a substandard workforce and we ended up having to write off our trailer and go through insurance, because of their shoddy work. I would like to assure everyone that Joe is a very honest, ethical, friendly and knowledgeable man who runs a reputable business. He has staff that have worked for him for over 20-30 yrs. We even dealt with his son Blake, who is just as professional as his dad. Blake is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable as well. We would definitely recommend Boss Roofing. Joe reinforced for us that there are still hardworking, honest companies out there and the employees that came to do the job were attentive, meticulous and very well mannered.
