Furthermore, it was a botched job from beginning to end. My house is a small Victorian row house in Cabbagetown. Since it is attached on both sides, it is a situation that requires some finesse. I had heard that M and R Roofing had done a lot of work in Cabbagetown and figured they would be used to this kind of situation. Wrong. The louts they sent over threw pieces of the roof indiscriminately to the untarped, unprotected ground, destroying my garden (even though my tenant kept protesting and sending me pictures). The clean up was so sloppy (including a skylight being reinstalled crookedly), that the crew had to be ordered back. In addition to butchering my garden, a portion of the roof hit my porch and broke a brick off the brick siding/wall that encloses it. Worse still, they hit and broke the gas meter, which resulted in Enbridge tagging the gasline and the water heater (meaning they would be shut off in a month if something wasn't done). This was not only costly, but required endless negotiations with Enbridge as well as an outside heating expert. (When Enbridge did fix the meter, for some reason this required digging up my front yard again for good measure). When I received the bill from M and R, it was months later. At first I thought they were ashamed about what happened, but it turns out that there is really something very wrong in their accounting department. I suggested that, in view of the overall debacle, I should only pay the price of the estimate and not the $2000 add on. I emailed several times about this, but didn't hear back for over a month, at which point the owner called me. It was like negotiating with Tony Soprano: he shouted and spouted obscenities. He, of course, would admit to no wrong doing. So they sent a collection agency after me for the $2000. I am ashamed to say that I caved and have finally sent in a check. Needless to say I received no compensation or apology for the damage caused. M and R Roofing seems to be highly thought of in Cabbagetown. I hope this review changes some minds and saves unsuspecting homeowners a lot of grief.

  Sarah R. asked:

  I have a bit of a conundrum. We had our flat roof done maybe 5 years ago but it is leaking again, and we've already completely replaced the ceiling with the leaks. The original roofer came and said the issue is actually the chimney degrading and letting water in. Meanwhile, different roofers came to do the shingles ( a different job), and while they were up on the top they said that our flat roof looks like it needs replacing. I said it had just been done a few years back and they said no way, it is in very bad shape. It had not been done, they felt. So I'm wondering how I find someone who might be able to come up on the flat roof and give me an honest answer - was the flat roof replaced? Does the chimney need repair? I can't stomach the thought of replacing a flat roof after only a few years. Any advice/ tips/ recommendations? Cross-posted.
