    Avoid this company, they are fraudulent! I had a leak and they came out to look at it. The man said he was the owner. When he was here he said he could fix it for me, but I need an entire new roof. He "proved it" by showing me where shingles were lifting. I had only just moved in and had the building inspected including the roof and the inspection went very well. I then got a second opinion and that too said the roof looked good. After hearing Golden Rule told me I needed a new roof, the inspector brought his roofer out to have a look. His roofer indicated that the roof had at least another 7-10 years in it, and also showed me evidence of force used where the shingles were lifting. It appeared someone had very recently forced the shingles up. Golden Rule took an emergency and used it to try to fraud me out of an entire new roof. They damaged my property to try to "prove it". DO NOT use this company, they are not at all trustworthy.

    Called golden rule to assist with adding flashing around my chimney and redo our skylight to correct issues found on our home inspection report, and instead of giving us an estimate for the requested work they said our shingles were coming …

    Very good sales job but very poor delivery. Leaks and water damage following their job. Refused to remediate and had to contact my lawyer. Was informed that if I allowed the situation to deteriorate I would be responsible and had to have the entire job done again by anther company which documented the poor workmanship! NEVER AGAIN!!!

    Hi Jen, very sorry to hear about your experience. We don't have anyone by your name in any of our systems (jobsite management, invoicing, etc.), perhaps you've left a review for the wrong company? This certainly doesn't sound like a situation we've been involved in. Please feel free to give the office a call if there's an issue that we need to be aware of at 250-508-8260.

    Brendan seemed great at first.... The crews never installed the vents for my bathroom and kitchen as per the work order, and despite me calling them several times, they havent fixed it. The facia boards weren't all replaced, and the ones that were were all cut funny, like they had never done it before. I also have several scraps of hanging plastic trapped under flashing. Looks terrible. I also had complaints from all of my neighbours about a profanity-laden screaming match between Brendan and his crew while on the job site. Not professional at all. Will be filing a complaint with the BBB.

    Doesn't return e-mails pertaining to get a job quote. Would hate to have a job done by this company and not be able to get a response for warranty work. Not recommended.

  • 1 out of 5Josef K8 years ago

    Got a roof done by these jokers - tons of problems. They refused to fix. As soon as the warranty expired they told me I needed another roof and tried to package sell it, even though I had an extended warranty! Never again! I have spoken to a ton of people around town and they all say 'shady' stay away.

    Reply from the business

    Hi Josef, It sounds like you’ve reviewed the wrong company: We haven’t been in business long enough to have installed a roof that’s past its 15 year warranty! Also, we’ve never offered an ‘extended’ warranty. Please give us a call at (250) 732-8262 if you need to have your roof checked out by our team of professionals.

    Brendan was very helpful and fast with his assessment of our roof. He worked with us to come up with a solution for our leaking roof that would help us get a little bit longer out of it. He has been very professional and responsive in communicating with us.

  • 5 out of 5Kyle Petrie2 years ago

    Great Guys!

  • 5 out of 5Reece Halvorsen2 years ago

    Brendan and his team did an absolutely incredible job. Their attention to detail, and ability to fix problems on the go is second to non. Our roof was leaking as the previous roofer did not install anything properly. This caused water to seep through the decking, and caused further damage and rot to the trusses. Once Brendan and his team tore the old roof off, we discovered how bad the situation was. His team was able to fix Everything. They completely cleaned the attic space, replaced the rotten trusses, and did a great install. They used premium materials and their care about doing a perfect job shows. They left no mess, and provided my family with a solid roof. Thank you for everything!

    Excellent communication and professionalism replacing my entire roof in an efficient and timely manner. Brendan and his crew were very knowledgeable and I appreciated all their efforts in ensuring my roof was safe before winter. Thank you so much!

  • 5 out of 5Kasey Field2 years ago

    Amazing company to work with, they treated our home and our roof as if it was their own. We were really impressed with the quality, the workers and the attention to detail! And the fact they came in on time and on budget! Highly recommend this wonderful company.

  • 5 out of 5Miriam Mcleod3 years ago

    Brendan and his team originally replaced our roof 10 years ago. (They did a great job then as well) We had a leak start and Brendan came very quickly. Although the leak had nothing to do with his work, he and his crew still took care of it. …

    Although we were surprised at the total cost of our repairs, the photos convinced us that we had significant damage which has been corrected. I recommend them as they were quick to reply to our phone call and the work began within 24 hours. They cleaned up afterwards, removing all dropped nails and screws.

  • 5 out of 5Bruce Lovely3 years ago

    Golden Rule did an excellent job installing the roof on my shop.

  • 5 out of 5Shirley Myhr3 years ago

    We used Brendan for our previous house and for our new house purchase. Both were full roof replacement. We would absolutely use him again. Very personable, professional, and honest. His team did a great job. He is always available for any questions you may have. Thanks Brendan!

  • 5 out of 5Eryn MacKay-Chiddenton5 years ago

    I just had my roof replaced, and I am very pleased with the service I received from both Brendan and Stephen's crews. They were polite and courteous, communicated with me effectively, and demonstrated a genuine concern for my home and my property. I think you will be hard pressed to find roofers who care more about doing good work, or who have a comparable level of attention to detail. Highly recommended.

  • 5 out of 5Chris Richardson6 years ago

    The guys did a fantastic job. On time, as described. They went above and beyond to clean up and make sure the job was done with excellence. Even had neighbours comment on how great the guys were while working on the project. They took pride in the job and did great work.

  • 5 out of 5Jenn Peripoli8 years ago

    Brendan was great. When we found out we needed a whole new roof, he broke the news lightly and honestly. He explained exactly what the issues were and answered all our questions. He is Very informed and profesional. Also, got the job done quick and painlessley with his crew, at a rate that seemed fair. I would reccommend Golden Rule!
