    If you're looking for a half-done job, your property to be torn up, and to be treated poorly, then look no further! They did a “great” job (if you consider ruining your lawn and leaving nails everywhere “great” work). I had to ask THREE TIMES for them to clean up after themselves, which—spoiler alert—never happened. They ruined my lawn, destroyed my antenna, and managed to fill my gutters with nails. Yes, nails and asphalt in the gutters all left behind. Nails all around the house too that kids were finding. When I told them the roof wasn't done right and was leaking (damaged shingles), they just ignored me. I had to get the shingle provider involved to get any action! The owner had the audacity to call me and harass me over my honest review, but here it is again since my original one somehow disappeared (Work was done spring 2024). Do yourself a favour and go with a roofer who actually respects your property and your time. I wouldn’t trust this company to roof a doghouse.

    Self entitled roofers who think it's ok to just park their vehicles anywhere - even in fire lanes, cause they think they're the most important people in the world.

    My experience with Godfrey Roofing was an exercise in frustration and disappointment. We needed our roof, eavesthroughs, and soffits replaced, and signed a contract with them Sept 2018. It then took another 10 months (including winter) for …

    Hi, I am glad to hear you are happy with the work that took place. I am disappointed to hear you are unhappy with our communication. I apologize for the delays in communication with your project and the scheduling delays that took place as a result of the storm in 2018 and the project ahead of you requiring unforeseen additional work which extended the timeline. Thank you Mike Godfrey

    Way overpriced and only semi-decent workmanship. Find another reputable company to get your roof done, and you'll save thousands.

  • 1 out of 5Keith HernandezEdited 6 years ago

    Spoke to Bob last year, said to call anytime for a Quote. website says "Unlike many competitors, we offer free estimates and we don’t require a deposit. When we arrive at your home to assess the roof, we begin by diagnosing the problem and explaining the recommended solutions. We’ll then quickly provide the proper and effective service required to repair any roof damage and stop water leaks. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction." ... called today, woman said any visit would be $350 minimum for the crew to show up and 1hr of labour. $350 sight unseen does not sound like a free quote to me. Lies. Change your story and/or website, but consistency would be appreciated.

    Reply from the business

    Hi Keith, Our web page was a bit out of date, its was just recently updated. I apologize for the confusion. Depending on the scope of your repair we either dispatch a crew at our service rates (a bit different than the price you described) or provide an estimate if you a have clearly defined scope of work. Please give me a call to discuss your repair. I’m sure once you try our service you will be thrilled! Thanks, Mike Godfrey

    Contacted Godfrey Roofing Inc. Jan 2014 upon a referral and reviews on the internet . My experience was in no way 6 star deserving. I have been informed that that since my experience, there has been a move to improve the services and the customer experience so the next customer will receive service and work definitely worth a 6 star review by him or her.

    We had the Godfrey team replace the roof of our home in the spring of 2021, and had Paul and his daughter back in June 2026 to replace the very worn out roof on our shed. Paul is a perfectionist and it shows! The team did an outstanding job and gave our shed a new lease on life. The before and after pictures speak for themselves. Thank you!!

    Godfrey was professional, timely and they did a really great job with our new roof. They worked with us to decide on the best product, colour and approach to meet our needs. We've already recommended them to neighbours that saw us getting the work done.

    Mike and his team saved the day! We were in the middle of selling our house and needed a repair done ASAP—they were on-site the very next morning. They were thorough, efficient, and took the time to answer all our questions, ensuring every concern was addressed. Truly professional service at a very fair price. I can’t recommend them enough!
