Have asked for a quote to have a roof done several times in the past 4 months. While I have it in writing that someone would be in touch, that was a month ago and I have heard nothing from them. Very disappointed.

We hired Nor Star to replace our gutters three years ago and immediately after the finished the gutters sagged and were not slopped correctly. I reported the issue and it took them a year to come out to correct the issue. Most of the gutters came down this past winter and this was due to them using 2" screws and no gutter hangers. The lack of gutter hangers also explains why the gutters sagged from day one.

Very professional team to get any eavestrough or fascia repair. They arrived a week before the schedule date. They came back for the second phase without any reminders from us.

i am very happy with Norstar workmanship. Very nice job, work was done in a timely manner. There was a small issue that needed to be addressed and they came right out to fix it within day. I got fascia, soffits and eaves done. Looks awesome. I will post pictures shortly. Thanks to Norstar and the team for a job well done. Customer service was great. I'd recommend these guys to anyone.

A big thank you to Melissa at Norstar- she provided absolutely exceptional customer service! Quality of the products and pricing are good and great selection available.
- 5 out of 5Tom Nowers3 years ago
Very friendly and responsive service. I needed additional "smartside" siding to match that which we got in 2008. Ryan sourced it in Ontario and had it ready for pick-up in about a week. They sawed the 16' boards into rough sizes 5' 3 " for my trailer...very helpful. Nice clean showroom if you drop by to look over possibilities.

They replaced our shingles with a metal roof. The scope of work included removing and disposing of the old shingles, adding framing and rigid foam insulation and the metal roof and flashing as well as removing a chimney pipe and replacing this part of the roof decking where the old chimney had been. We noticed a huge difference in the comfort of the cottage after this work was done. Quality products and installation. Pricing was competitive with other quotes we received. I waited a year and a half to post this as I wanted to go through all seasons to ensure a quality job. If a low pitch roof didn't leak after last winter's snow load and freeze/thaw cycles, it's not going to! Roofing and many outside jobs are weather dependent. We were delayed a few weeks and that didn't surprise me based on the weather. If there was one thing that Nor Star could improve it would be to be a bit more proactive with client communication on scheduling. Nonetheless, when I needed information they were very responsive to my calls or emails. Would recommend and I will call them when I need siding.
