We did business with Gwinyal few months ago to change the roof of our house and we suppose that the work he did was well done. However, we are very disapointed because he left without finishing to install the fascia. He was suppose to come back to do it and change the roof of our garage too and he didn't showed up. We tried to reach him many times but he didn't answer the phone anymore. Then we recommand not to do business with him.

I truly apologize for failing to clearly communicate with you as I strive to always do! As per my last conversation with your husband weeks ago, we had discussed the likelihood of doing your garage in the spring as I had encountered unexpected problems on a job which resulted in having to essentially reframe an entire roof (trusses and bracing) from inside the attic. As a one man operation, I’m sure you can imagine how time consuming this could be, but again, I discussed with Robert that I would likely do your garage in the spring along with installing the fascia at the same time. I had also mentioned that in unlikely event that I would be able to do it before then, I would give him a call. As a one man crew, I do my utmost best to prioritize jobs in dire need/ desperate situations often leading to a dynamic schedule. The dynamic nature of this schedule is something I always let my customers know ahead of time as I even did with you to fit your roof replacement into an already tight schedule. Thank you for mentioning that you suppose the work performed on your roof was well done…I truly appreciate this as I strive for excellence in ALL my projects. I want to apologize for my failure to communicate and/or return calls to reassure you that you were not forgotten, but as the season in winding down, spring time is my earliest availability to return to do your other projects as I am prioritizing other customers in more desperate situations at this moment. I hope you still have faith in my workmanship and previous levels of communication to reconsider your opinion and warning to other people to not do business with me. If not, you are obviously entitled to express your thoughts and feelings. Doing the best I can here as a one man show and apologize for letting you down…although I though we already had an understanding!

We are thrilled with the quality and efficiency of Shumba Roofing Solutions. Our experience began with a comprehensive assessment that featured aerial photos (using a drone) of our house and roof. The project began soon after and was …

Gwinyai was a wonderful hard working fellow. He communicated with me daily as needed to keep me abreast of timing delays due to shingles being or not being delivered. His work ethic is amazing as he keeps the job site stellar at all times. He’s a solo act which takes a bit longer but it’s worth the end result in both quality of workmanship and his pricing. You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend him! Sue Cole

It was truly a pleasure working with Gwinyai. He was easy to work with, reliable, professional and very hardworking! Our project ended up being a lot more involved than originally was expected and he and his team stuck it through, completing the project with accuracy and diligence. I would highly recommend Shumba Roofing!

Thanks Ruth and Mark for your business, kind words/ recommendation and patience through the entire project. It did indeed end up being a lot more work than originally anticipated, but we’re happy to have been able to complete your job and get you in good shape and squared away for this winter and the next couple of decades! It’s always a pleasure working with customers such as yourself. Thank you for the Thanksgiving dinners as well as your hospitality throughout the entire process. Happy to hear you had a pleasant experience through the rollercoaster ride of a project!

Needed my roof done on my garage. G (as he likes to be called) was very quick to respond, come and see the job and provide a quote. He was very reasonably priced. The job took a little bit longer but it was done well. He is a great guy and I would recommend him for all your roofing needs. I would definitely call him again should I need something done.
