We are incredibly happy with the work done by Akron Roofing. We highly recommend them for any roof work needed and would not hesitate to use them again if needed. We did our due diligence and had three quotes from three top roofing companies in Calgary. We chose Akron for the following reasons: 1. Customer service - Akron was the clear choice in this regard. They provided the most detailed estimate and spent significant time with us reviewing our options for roofing material and the pros and cons of each. They educated us and allowed us to make our own decision with no pressure to use one product over another. 2. Knowledge - Rodney at Akron was the most knowledgeable of all the people who provided quotes. His concern was with providing us with the right product (based on our needs) and ensuring installation was done correctly. 3. Price - All three quotes were within a narrow band, but Akron was more than willing to price match to a similar product and installation method. During the installation we spoke to Rodney as well as the onsite roofers every day. They always let us know exactly what they were doing, any issues they found, and cleaned up each evening before they left. They had three people working at all times on our job to ensure completion without undue delay. Additionally, Rodney spoke to both our neighbors before the job started to ensure they could contact him directly if they had any issues. This is just one example of the many things done by Akron that add up to a great customer experience. Not being a roof expert, it was easy to tell this crew was doing things properly and methodically. We have a parapet with a low angle roof on a small part of our house, and Rodney had his flat roof expert spend an additional 1.5 days (1 day budgeted) on this portion of our house, and with no additional cost. I have absolute faith this job was done correctly with no corners cut. Regarding the look of the new GEM Euroshield roof, it's hard to take a picture that does it justice, especially since I'm not going up on the roof to get pictures for a google review :-). In person the product looks amazing, and with the quality of installation I believe this roof will last a very long time. We would give Akron 7 starts if we could. Highly recommended, and once you meet Rodney to discuss your roofing needs I am sure you will have a similar experience to us. TL;DR This company is awesome and you will not be disappointed if you use them.

Akron did a wonderful job of replacing my roof. A few things really stood out for me: 1. Getting quote was fast and easy, and Rod provided me a professional proposal with several options and walked me through them 2. The lowest price option was still a high quality product. I wasn't looking for the cheapest - I was looking for best value. Rod listened to my desire to eventually add rooftop solar and they removed the traditional venting to go with a ridge vents to give more room for solar. The price was all inclusive and there were no surprises later. 3. Installation started several weeks earlier than I planned. They set my expectations and then came early, which is better than the alternative! They kept me informed every step of the way, when to expect materials and when the crew was planning to show up. I know roofing is a tough gig to schedule with such dependancies on weather. 4. The crew was professional and cleaned up after themselves every day. Our neighbours warned us about their roof replacement experiences and how they got flat tires from all the nails on the ground. We never got a single flat tire on our cars. I found a total of 3 stray nails that they missed over a 1 week period, which is pretty good considering the hundreds of nails they removed! 5. They managed the warranty and paperwork for me. On payment, they were flexible on credit card and cheque. I paid the final payment only after inspection. One piece of flashing was replaced which took another week to source, and paid only when the job was 100% complete.

Akron delivered the 'Wow" factor for us. Rod - President of Akron, arrived at our home and presented us with a folder containing Akron's quote, details about our roof, house and property including aerial photos. The folder for Akron Roofing also contained the provincial License/Registration Certificate, city Business License, Certificate of Insurance, Rod's certificates for Haag Certified Inspector-Residential Roofs, Master Elite Roofing Contractor for GAF, and CertainTeed Select Shingle Master. Even Akron's letterhead identifies all certifications. That Akron folder had everything in it. Rod knew a whole lot more about our roof even before he arrived at our home. Rod did the roof inspection to verify his appraisal/quote and our needs. After the job started, Rod was back to see how the project was progressing. After completion of replacement of the roof and eave troughs, Rod was back to do his on- the-roof inspection and addressed a few concluding details. Andrew, the technician along with his assistant Dominic knew what to do to remove the old roof and install the new roofing materials. Both carried out their reasonability professionally and with a quiet and friendly demeanor. Dedicated care was undertaken to clean up after the job was done. In our view, Akron and it's personnel raised the 'bar of excellence' that truly translates into Akron's mantra of 'Love Your Roof'.

Had AkRon roofing do the roof on my house and Quanset. After giving them around $30000 for a roof that is exceptional, the owners attitude changed when I had concerns about holes that were put in the shingles due to the roofers. Not to mention my lightning rods were placed at the bottom of my roof (serving absolutely no purpose). I purchased a roof that had a 50 year life, but got a roof that had holes in them. After bringing this up with the owner, his attitude towards me was as if I was stupid and didn't know what I was talking about. We did come to an agreement to patch the holes, however they patched them with silicone which would mean I would have to repatch them at around 10 years. After going back and forth, they finally replaced the damaged shingles, but not after a lot of stress and frustration. The roofers did a great job and left the place clean, other than misfiring a few nails and placing the lightning rods where they shouldn't have been, but if you use AkRon, my advice to you is to hold the remainder of your bill until you are 100% satisfied that all issues have been rectified..... And do not deal with Rodney, he gives the vibe that you are an idiot.

Rodney and his crew delivered what they promised. Rodney gave me options and the pros and cons of different shingles and installation methods. The crew arrived when they said they would, did the work fast and efficiently and cleaned up as they promised. The 3 man crew had over 50 years of roofing experience between them and it showed. Last time I had the roof done (25 years ago) the contractor hired a crew from Sask and had no skin in the game and the end result was far from good. I'm confident this roof installation was done far better than the last time. Rodney came by 3 times in 2 days to inspect the work being done and to check that the installation was being done to his standards. He has lots of certifications from various manufacturers and is a certified installer. Based on his inspection they added 4 new intake vents (at no charge) because he thought the roof needed it. I am very pleased with the work from start to finish and would use Akron again if I needed any work done to my roof.

  • Larry Watmough

So these guys might be ok for roof repairs but I would never recommend them for a skylight installation. They installed mine last summer and it leaked immediately. I called Rod the owner and they came out 3 times to repair it but it continued to leak. He stated my house had too much humidity but I bought a tester and it showed only 26% humidity. It continues to leak to this day. I called the manufacturer No Leak skylights and they stated that this was definitely installed incorrectly. I found Rod very unprofessional in his response with me and I will now go to a company that knows how to install these properly. My neighbour had his installed at the same time and he’s had no issues with his. I will be contacting that company in future to get my skylight replaced again. I would never recommend these guys for anything based on my terrible experience.

  • Peter Claghorn

Akron Roofing replaced our roof almost three years ago. Yesterday, in the middle of a crazy rainstorm, we started to get a major leak down the stove vent. One call to Rod and someone was at the house the next morning, with a follow up call to let us know that if there were any further issues, just call and they would do a full change out of the vent pipe. Wow! We were delighted with the entire installation in the first place, but with this great follow up and responsiveness, Akron has a customer for life. We are very impressed and very grateful that there are folks around who stand by their work. We HIGHLY recommend Akron.

  • Scott Hastings

We had some wind damage to our roof, and contacted AKRoN for a quote based on some recommendations on social media. I received a phone call from the owner, Rod, a shockingly short time later, and he came out to my house the next morning to have a look. It took a little while to get the repair done, as the weather wasn't cooperating at all, and we have a very steep & high roof. Once the weather changed, Rod came by and fixed the shingle and gave a very honest appraisal of the condition of the rest of the roof. We were very impressed and will definitely be making use of AKRoN Roofing's services in the future.

  • George Kwan

Akron Roofing replaced my roof in May of 2022. They did an excellent job from start to finish. Rod came to my house and inspected my roof which was 30 years old. He gave me a few options and explained to me the pros and cons of those options. He also explained to me in detail on how the job would be done. The crew completed a good job without issues. I found Rod was very easy to talk to. He kept his promises and provided very good services. He returned to my house after the job to fix up minor issues with the skylight installation. I would recommend Akron for roofing replacement or other roof issues

  • Vince Elliott

Akron did an excellent job replacing our cedar shakes with hail and wind resistant shingles which is essential in Calgary; they don't even offer "disposable" low end product. The quote was detailed and they provided in depth information on all of the options. Very knowledgeable and experienced group with friendly professional service. The project was completed on time and on budget as promised. Even better they were able to schedule it for when we were away for a weekend; the only signs I've found that they were on site are a beautiful looking roof, and ONE nail. I heartily recommend Akron Roofing.

  • Angel Donor

This review has been long overdue as we had our roof installation back in November 2021. Anyway, the experience we've had doing business with Akron has been nothing but wonderful. Rodney and Deanna are amazing people. Communication and customer service was superb. We were briefed with everything we need to know and what to expect all throughout. Rodney was highly qualified and was very professional and patient in explaining the process of what we can expect during the work. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and we definitely highly recommend Akron to anyone needing any roofing service.

  • Teresa Taylor

Rodney and Deanna go above and beyond. We had a couple issues with our home that had nothing to do with the roofing job done by Akron. Both were preexisting issue, one with our chimney and the other with our eavestrough. Rodney made sure both were taken care of and we are very greatful. They are very quick with communication and the crew was respectful on site. The way they end the process with a bottle of wine is a nice touch. They take a lot of pride in their company and it shows. Their prices are competitive, their products are quality, and the workmanship is excellent.

  • Derek H

Rod and his craft are what you want from any business, especially one that the average homeowner finds mysterious and daunting to deal with such as roofing. Had them out to inspect and quote my roof a couple of years ago, then do the install. They were excellent and professional, as well as competitively priced. After a nasty windstorm this year, they came out literally the next day to repair a ridgecap that came off, and did an inspection, all under warranty. Dealing with these guys is amazing and Rod always takes the time to explain and chat about the job. 6/5 stars.

  • Brian Gamble

Had Rod the owner come out and do an assessment of the damage to my roof, he barely even looked at it and talked more about his personal life. He said he was going to the truck to grab a ladder to go on the roof and inspect it. But he ended up just getting in his truck and leaving with no explanation. I called him a few days later to see about the quote and he said he would have it for me in a couple of days but there was no further response. Would never use these people if this is how they are just trying to get an estimate. Unprofessional and a waste of my time.

  • Carla R

Rodney, Deanna and the team at AKRon Roofing were excellent to work with. Very professional, knowledgeable, and provided wonderful and personal customer service. I trust them, which is very important when hiring someone to do work on the roof of your home. The crew was hard-working, skilled, and very tidy. It is easy to see that these guys know what they are doing, and take pride in their work. This is the company you hire when you want safety-minded and qualified professionals who actually care about doing a good job.

  • Joelle Fournier

OMG! What a transformation! There are not enough words. We knew the work this team would have dealing w/a 110 yr old house w/cedar shakes on it for past 40ish years. We were excited to get the Euroshield installed with a shake look to keep the aesthetic of our house & Euroshield because we live in hail alley in S Central Alberta. Some areas needed minor repairs & they were done & it made such a difference. The crew was amazing & the quote is what we paid and it LOOKS FANtastic!!! I think our dog misses the guys. :o}

  • Michelle Miller

Very friendly staff - the people in the office, the guys working on the roof, the owners... everyone was pleasant and personable. I especially appreciated them working around the scheduling of my deck construction. There were a few attempts at setting a date and eventually we found one that worked. Most of the work was done in 1 day with a couple of add ons (gutter and vents) done within the week. Totally professional and care was taken not to damage my lawn or deck. Very happy with the whole experience.

  • Diane Lum

I used Akron Roofing to replace the roof of my rental property a few years back and was so pleased with their work that I used them again for my own property. Rodney and Deanna are a pleasure to work with! They provided a quote within a week (while other companies dragged out the process for much longer), completed the work in good time, and provided great communication throughout the whole process! I would highly recommend Akron Roofing for all your roofing needs.

  • Derrick Huck

Everything went very well with our new shingle install. Clean up was excellent. The crew was courteous and worked their butts off in 30C weather. The owner Rod was professional Deanna in the office kept us updated leading up to install. The price was what we were quoted so no bull to deal with there. Great work everyone. Thank you. I highly recommend Akron Roofing. And tell them Derrick Huck sent you so I can get the referral reward they offer to their clients ;-)

  • Belinda Waters

It’s always a sign of a great company when they stand behind the products and services they provide. Akron roofing installed our roof in 2016 and a recent home inspection questioned if flashing was present in two spots on the roof. I contacted Rodney and he was at my home within the hour to inspect the roof himself. He verified that the roof was in fact done correctly and has provided documentation for the next owners. I would definitely recommend this company.

  • Jerry K

AKRON did a great job on our roof. Professional service start to finish. Excellent/detailed bid package, competitive pricing, written manufacturer and installation warranty. They did the job as described - safely, clean, and on time. Rodney inspected the site during and after completion to ensure customer satisfaction. Rodney was great to work with and highly recommend you include them on your bid list - you won't be disappointed.

  • Maureen Gilberg

Akron roofing not only installed our new Euroshield roof, which we absolutely love, they also nstalled new siding on our house. Any concerns we have, they were dealt with immediately. The crews members for both the roofing and the siding were very friendly, but also professional. Owners, Rod and Deanna could not do enough to make sure we were pleased with the work they did. I would definitely recommend Akron Roofing.

  • Sylvain Tremblay

Friendly and Professional service Akron replaced out roof two years ago and did a great job. We had a home inspection done and they noted two small Flashing issue/wind damage. Call Akron and they quickly came and fixed the issues under their warranty. I love dealing with a company that don't forget their customers after two years and give them such friendly and professional service. I highly recommend them.

  • Garry Vodicka

We were referred by a friend who used Akron Roofing and we were very pleased with their service; the owner was always available and easy to get a hold of and very helpful in every way. His crew were very careful to not damage anything and took care to clean up after every day and at the end of the job. I would not hesitate to recommend them to do my roofing; Great job and Super Service Garry Vodicka

  • Grace Chantiam

We had spoken to several companies but Akron stood out among all of them as more professional and overall kinder and more personal touch. The work they did was amazing our roof looks great and we got a competitive and very fair price for materials that seem to be superior than some of the competitors. I highly suggest them amazingly positive experience with this company.

  • Morella De Castro

AKRoN did a very good job in replacing our roof. We were away when they did the work, and upon our return everything was cleaned and we had a new roof. The owner - Rodney - met with us twice, explained what the work entailed and afterwards provided details of what was done. Also, he was accommodating to our needs and responsive. Highly recommend them.

  • Barbara Larsen

Working with Akron Roofing is a great experience. Rodney and Deanna give prompt responses, and information. Rodney sat with us and helped us choose a roof that was best for us. We had 2 previous quotes and none were as personal and detailed as with Akron Roofing. Their staff was also very good at what they did and friendly. Thank you for a great job.

  • Darlene MacPherson

We were so impressed with AKRoN Roofing. They were here to do an estimate within an hour of us calling them and we had our quote a few hours later. It was such a positive experience and it was a matter of days between calling for an estimate and our roof being completed. They were very knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend them.

  • Pamela Rinfret

We just recently had our gutters, soffit and fascia replaced by Akron Roofing. They were easy to do business with, offered a variety of payment methods. As soon as the weather permitted they were onsite and completing the installation. The work was well done and it looks amazing. I highly recommend them for any of your roofing needs.

  • Michael Collins

Rod and his crew did a very professional job of reroofing our house. The crew was well supervised and communication with Rod was easy to get hold of and prompt in returning calls and texts throughout the process. Competitively priced and a painless experience for us. Highly recommend if you wast a quality job at a competitive price.

  • dianne lemoal

We’re so glad we went with Akron Roofing. Rod and his whole team are very professional, informative and great to work with. Our roof looks fantastic and the crew did a great job of cleaning up after they were done. Payment wasn’t due until the job was done ensuring we were happy with their work. I highly recommend this company

  • Gina Burd Auger

I can highly recommend Akron roofing. From the quote right up to completion of my roof, Rod and his crew were professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. Rod had promised to bump me up the que, Sue to some major leaking, and he did. Again, you need roof repairs, etc, I highly recommend Akron Roofing. Gina

  • Alfonso

I had my roof replaced with Akron in August 2022. Service was great since first contact. Ron was always on top of things from beginning to end. His staff was also great and accommodating. Replacement was done on time and the end result was superb. Highly recommended to anyone looking to replace a roof.

  • Trevor Leys Schirok

I am really impressed with the job and service that I received from both Deanna and Rodney at AKRoN. Rodney really too the time to explain the entire process to me and what needed to be done. His crew was courteous, fast , and clean. For any of my client's looking for roofing needs, I recommend AKRoN.

  • BruceandNida Lambie

Great roofing company to do business with. Honest and reliable. The negative reviews here are not reflective of this roofer. I have met several roofers that are not good but in Akron's case you can be sure that they are one of the best roofers in Calgary. Highly recommended.

  • Thomas M

Very professional and seamless experience. Crew showed up right on time and clean up was flawless. They may not be the cheapest but well worth the money. If you are looking for a company that does high quality work with high quality materials you can't go wrong with Akron.

  • Gail Morris

Great experience. Very professional from our initial contact with Rod, to the completion of the job. He truly cares about what you need and went above and beyond. Akron Roofing comes highly recommended and anyone would be fortunate to have Rod and his team work for you.

  • lei meng

Avoid using them. A bunch of amateurs, performed a low quality job. Hired them to replace my fascia, end up denting my soffits along the fascia replaced. Showed them the picture before the job, an extremely rude bald guy said the picture was photoshopped. Whatever.

  • Nora Hedger

We have worked with Rod and Deanna a number of times on different properties. I have found them responsive, easy to work with, professional, and they have done an amazing job with our properties! We will continue to work with them for many years to come!

  • Ben Hutchins

My first time getting a roof replaced and they were great; super helpful, knowledgable and answered all our questions. Installers were great, professional and the work was well done. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid roofing company.

  • Tom Crone

Rodney and Deanna are fantastic they supplied and explains four options and explained everything, the job was completed with no issues. I would highly recommend the services of AKRoN Roofing it was a pleasure to do business with a professional team

  • Gavin Conway

We could not be happier with the finished roofing job that was completed over the last couple of days. The Service, attention to detail, workmanship and overall dealings with this company was a pleasure, and I would highly recommend them.

  • Lisa Sombach

Akron replaced our roof with GAF Timberline HD shingles and were consummate professionals. If you are looking for a stress-free experience I would strongly recommend them.

  • Wil CAC

I had my roof shingled a few years ago and was very happy with Akron. When it came time to shingle the garage I called Akron again. They did a great job as expected.
