Perhaps you need to take lessons on coming in the wrong way on a street! Traffic rules are done all, no exceptions. Especially when you're out there representing a company.

First I tried calling, their voice mail box is full and cannot accept any more messages (!!). Filled out their contact form looking for repairs but never heard back. As I said about Frizzle roofing: A reputable roofer will take the time …

Showed up quickly for a siding quote, took over a month and never got back to us. Emailed them and was told "sorry but we are now booked until October, do you still want your quote and are you ok with the delay". We asked for the quote and accepted the delay. Over a month goes by again and no quote. Reach out to them again and and they apologize as they no longer have time for our job. I ask for the quote i was originally promised and get crickets. Bad company, stay away. Will give someone else my money.

Matthew did a fantastic job installing our copper finish steel roof. He worked long days including a holiday to get the job done super quickly, and even got it done below estimate! We had contacted several other roofers who wouldn’t even …

I was given Matthew's name by my Godfather George. Matthew installed his metal roof in 2019. George had gotten Matthew's name from a friend and was highly impressed with Matthew's demeanor and work ethic. I hired Matthew for a full shingle …

I woke up to discover water dripping on my range from a leaky roof port. Matthew fit me in to have it fixed and did an excellent job. He explained what he found and how he completed the repair. We’ve used Islander twice now and highly recommend.

So we have a tin roof that needs remedial work every few years. Not a big expensive/glamorous job but important to keep the roof in good shape for years to come. …

We had Matthew fix a couple of roofing tiles that had worked loose and fix back in place. We found he was very responsive to questions and was professional and tidy in his work. Great service.

Prompt response to quote. A small local company with broad construction skill-set, lot of heart. They listen well and try to exceed expectations. Work involved removal of lower sections of vinyl siding, remediation repairs of lower house …

Great company to deal with, excellent service, very professional. I had skylights and a small roof replaced in a very timely manner. Very pleased with their workmanship. Their quotes are broken down into materials and labour so you clearly see what you are paying for. Great communication and a very tidy clean up at the end. I would highly recommend them.

My metal-roofed sunroom was leaking so badly, but I was nervous about finding a good roofer because I've often found that they don't really listen to women. I'm SO HAPPY that I called Islander Roofing!! They came and listened respectfully and after Matthew investigated, he and Shelby took pictures as they went, and showed me and explained how it had been improperly installed. They did their repairs, they were so nice and so helpful. If you want to work with people who listen to you and who explain their repair plan, and who are really good people, I think you should call them.

We found Islander Roofing on Next Door and hired them to do a repair to our rubber roof. . Shelby & Mathew were professional, conscientious, prompt and courteous. We are VERY VERY happy and would have them back again.

Where this page comes from
Every figure above is Google’s, captured on 24 September 2026. The star average and the 35 ratings behind it are counted by Google across all of its reviews. The review text on this page is a sample — we hold 35, of which 33 have any text — and it is not everything Google shows.
