Senior Exterior Consultant Vlad Blazanin. Finding dependable, honest, trusted and reliable contractors can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to respecting the unique character and charm of historic West Toronto homes. Over the last 13 years, John Keating, co-owner and project consultant for Keating Roofing & Exteriors, has helped many customers recapture their home’s curb appeal and beauty through experienced, invested and quality exterior remodeling work. Today, Keating Roofing & Exteriors has 27 inhouse full time employees – a team of several different crews, each consisting of five to six professionals, including a licensed carpenter, a cabinet finisher to handled detailed mouldings, an aluminum crew, flat roofers, shinglers, a stucco and stone crew, and door and window installation professionals. “There’s a lot of skill, a lot of knowledge, and everybody really does care,” says Keating. “When they finish a job, they stand back and admire the work they’ve done. There’s a great appreciation for what they do.” The company is so committed to quality workmanship that they have created a full training facility in their warehouse that contains an entire model home. Keating welcomes prospective customers to the facility and gives them the opportunity to see products and installations in person, instead of in pictures alone. Three generations of the Keating family have created something special in West Toronto, fostering relationships with their clients that extend far beyond the remodeling job. “I have had families invite me in for dinner and a glass of wine to thank me for the work our company has done. Nothing beats the feeling of satisfaction, knowing that not only are your customers pleased with the work, but they have also gotten to know us on a personal level, and have the same appreciation for our family business as we do.”
