Meet Laddie James Real Estate

What Do Laddie’s Clients Say About Their Experience?

“From the references I called, there was an overwhelming message of gratitude and the sentiment of being heard and cared for in the home and/or property purchase transaction.  There was an undeniable sense of confidence that Laddie knew what was important to look for regarding property repairs or considerations based on his decades of experience in the industry.  His clients mentioned that after viewing an initial property to gain an understanding of what they really wanted, Laddie would source out, view and then make them aware, thereby saving them time on unsuitable properties for their desires.” 

“Our house was listed in the real estate market elsewhere for a year with no results, and once we listed it with Laddie, it was sold just like that!  He always went above and beyond - he even baked cookies and brought in things to attract attention at the Open House. Laddie sold our house during the Open House! He had so much energy and made selling our home a priority.  He always had time for us, regardless of the time of day.  He would ask me what I needed and would make it work all the time.  Not a day goes by in this house that we don’t talk about him. He is a great man.” -Rebecca H, 

“We were just flabbergasted at how easy selling our home went with Laddie! We found him to be respectful, conscientious, and detail-oriented. The process for us was so easy and we enjoyed working with him.  We have not done anything in the Real Estate market for 49 years, so had no idea what was going on.  We appreciated how forthright he was about the possibility of a sale and the things that might not go right. He knew the things that we needed to repair and how to navigate the whole process and take the pressure off of us” - Liz N

A Roof Serves As A Crucial Weather Barrier For Your Home

Your roof protects the attic and the rest of the interior from various weather elements. Here are some reasons why roof durability is important:

1. Protection from Water Damage: A durable roof prevents water from infiltrating your home. Water leaks can cause significant damage to the attic, ceilings, walls, insulation, and electrical systems. This can lead to structural issues, mold growth, and damage to personal belongings.

2. Resistance to Wind and Storms: A durable roof is designed to withstand high winds and severe weather conditions. It acts as a shield, protecting your home from wind-driven rain, flying debris, and potential structural damage during storms.

3. Thermal Regulation: A durable roof helps maintain a comfortable and consistent indoor temperature by preventing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. This can improve energy efficiency, reduce heating and cooling costs, and enhance overall comfort inside the home.

4. Longevity and Cost Savings: A durable roof is built to last, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacement. Investing in a high-quality, durable roof can save you money in the long run by minimizing maintenance expenses and prolonging the lifespan of your roof.

5. Health and Safety: A roof that is in good condition and properly sealed prevents the entry of moisture, which can create an environment for mold and mildew growth. Mold can have adverse health effects on occupants, especially those with respiratory conditions or allergies. A durable roof helps maintain a healthy living environment.

To ensure the durability of your roof, it's important to choose high-quality materials, have professional installation, and perform regular maintenance and inspections. Regular roof inspections can identify any issues early on and allow for timely repairs. Additionally, keeping gutters clean, removing debris, and addressing any signs of damage promptly can help maintain the durability and effectiveness of your roof as a weather barrier.

Choosing The Right Roof For Your Home

At Scott Roofing, we are knowledgeable regarding different aspects of roof design and structural integrity. We understand the importance of the following roofing components:

• Ensuring roof flashings are the right size and are installed with adequate lap or in the right locations so that water leakage does not occur
• Ensuring the roof deck is proper and adequate, so that high winds do not cause movement and vibration which will eventually loosen the shingle fasteners
• Minimizing water penetration from ice damming, which is a build-up of ice at the edge of the roof
• Properly ventilating the roof space to allow moist air to exit the attic area and dry air to enter
• Properly fastening shingles
• Utilizing roofing paper and the proper placement of ice and water shields
• Installing eave protection
• Understanding the effects of solar radiation on different types of shingles to ensure a longer life

When I started Trusted Saskatoon back in 2011, my aim was to create a website where consumers could find TRUSTWORTHY locally owned businesses who operate with integrity. I had suffered a few times from negative experiences and felt that there was something missing that prevented people being ripped off. I recently experienced first-hand ( again) the exact reason why I was driven to create www.trustedsaskatoon.com, as a real resource to protect and help YOU the consumer who is choosing where to spend your hard earned money!

Sara Shares A Real Life Roofing Story

Not long ago I returned home to find that a local 'cedar shake expert' roofing company had stopped by. They spoke to a family member in my absence and delivered a flyer, product brochure, business card and a detailed $12,500 quote for a new roof. I had not requested a quote, however the company representative said they wanted to provide it to us as a courtesy as they were concerned for us. They noted that this was their recommendation based on the many issues they could see whilst working on our neighbours roof. The company had been next door for a few days repairing and re-roofing the roof and they said that had given them an excellent opportunity to see the issues on our roof. Even better,  because they were in the area, they would do it for a special reduced price – how kind of them! 

Unfortunately for this roofing company, they pitched their quote to the wrong homeowners... 

Being the owner of Trusted for nearly 9 years, means that I have learnt a lot of best practices when it comes to quoting. In addition to that, I have lots of people sharing with me who NOT to trust in Saskatoon. This company has been mentioned to me at least a dozen times over the years, so I was bound to be suspicious of the quote and the motivations behind it.
