Why Homeowners Trust Ace 1 Quality Roofing: Our Certifications, Credentials & Commitment to Quality

Your Roof Deserves More Than Just a Contractor — It Deserves a Qualified Professional

When it comes to protecting your home, few investments are more important than your roof.

A roof does much more than keep the rain out. It protects your family, your belongings, insulation, framing and the overall structure of your home from Ontario's demanding weather. That is why choosing the right roofing contractor is about much more than finding the lowest price.

Homeowners should be asking important questions:

Is the contractor properly insured?

Do they have manufacturer certifications?

Are they recognized by established industry organizations?

Do they have experience installing the roofing systems they recommend?

Do they stand behind their workmanship?

At Ace 1 Quality Roofing, Siding & Eavestroughs, we believe homeowners deserve answers to these questions before they hire a roofing company.

That is why we have worked to build our company around professional workmanship, manufacturer relationships, safety, customer service and ongoing commitment to quality.

Today, Ace 1 is proud to be recognized through multiple industry credentials and manufacturer programs, including GAF Certified™, Malarkey Certified Pro Contractor and IKO Select Certified Contractor. We are also a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ BBB rating, and our company states that it is WSIB certified and liability insured.

These credentials are not simply logos on a website. They represent the standards and relationships behind the roofing systems we install.

GAF Certified™ Contractor

One of the credentials homeowners will see when researching Ace 1 Quality Roofing is our GAF Certified™ Contractor designation.

GAF is one of North America's major roofing manufacturers, and Ace 1 is listed in GAF's contractor directory with contractor ID 1146471. GAF's listing identifies Ace 1 as a GAF Certified contractor serving the Niagara and Hamilton regions. GGAF

But what does that mean for a homeowner?

Manufacturer certification is important because roofing performance depends on more than the shingles themselves. A complete roofing system needs to be installed correctly, with attention paid to the underlying components, ventilation, flashing, underlayment, fastening and other details.

Ace 1's GAF certification reflects our commitment to professional installation practices and working with GAF roofing systems according to manufacturer requirements.

For homeowners considering a GAF roof, working with a contractor recognized through the manufacturer's contractor program can provide an additional level of confidence when choosing who will install the system.

Malarkey Certified Pro Contractor

Ace 1 Quality Roofing is also proud to be a Malarkey Certified Pro Contractor.

Our relationship with Malarkey gives homeowners another option when selecting premium roofing materials for their homes.

Malarkey is known for manufacturing roofing products designed with durability, performance and sustainability in mind. At Ace 1, we believe that homeowners should have choices when it comes to their roofing system.

That means we don't believe there is one roofing product that is automatically right for every house.

The right roofing system can depend on the home's design, roof pitch, existing roof condition, ventilation, budget, appearance preferences and the homeowner's long-term goals.

Our Malarkey Certified Pro relationship allows us to provide homeowners with another trusted manufacturer option while maintaining our focus on proper installation and complete roofing-system performance.

Ace 1's website specifically identifies our company as a Malarkey Certified Pro Contractor. AAce1qualityroofing.c+1

IKO Select Certified Contractor

Ace 1 Quality Roofing is also proud to be an IKO Select Certified Roofing Contractor.

IKO is another major roofing manufacturer, and our IKO certification reflects our commitment to professional installation, manufacturer-recommended practices and ongoing training.

Our current IKO certification page identifies Ace 1 as an IKO Select Certified Contractor and explains our commitment to installing complete IKO roofing systems according to manufacturer-recommended best practices. AAce1qualityroofing.c

For homeowners, this means they can choose from multiple established roofing manufacturers while working with a contractor that has recognized relationships with those manufacturers.

That is important because roofing isn't simply about putting shingles on a house.

A quality roof is a system.

The shingles are only one part of that system.

Why Manufacturer Certification Matters

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners can make is choosing a roofing contractor based entirely on price.

A roof installation may look similar from the ground, but the details underneath can make a significant difference.

Proper installation can involve:

• Roof deck preparation

• Underlayment

• Ice and water protection

• Flashing

• Starter shingles

• Proper fastening

• Ridge caps

• Ventilation

• Shingle alignment

• Manufacturer-specific installation requirements

• Proper cleanup and final inspection

At Ace 1, our goal is to build complete roofing systems rather than simply replace shingles.

Our website emphasizes the importance of using quality materials and proper installation practices, and our GAF-certified page describes final cleanup, magnetic nail sweeps and installation inspections as part of our process. AAce1qualityroofing.c

BBB Accredited Business With an A+ Rating

Manufacturer certifications are only part of the story.

Trust matters too.

Ace 1 Quality Roofing Inc. is currently listed by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) as an Accredited Business with an A+ rating.

The BBB profile shows Ace 1's accreditation beginning July 21, 2025, and lists the company's Niagara Falls and Fenwick locations. BBetter Business Bureau+1

BBB accreditation is different from a roofing certification.

It is not a statement that Ace 1 is certified to install a particular roofing product. Instead, BBB accreditation relates to the company's commitment to BBB standards for trust and business practices.

That distinction is important.

At Ace 1, we believe trust begins before the first shingle is installed.

It begins with how we communicate, how we explain the work, how we prepare estimates and how we treat our customers' homes.

WSIB Certified and Liability Insured

Safety and protection are also important considerations when hiring a roofing contractor.

Ace 1 Quality Roofing states on its company website that it is WSIB certified and liability insured. AAce1qualityroofing.c

For homeowners and commercial clients, these protections are important considerations when selecting a contractor.

Roofing is specialized work performed at height and often in challenging conditions. A professional roofing company should take workplace safety and proper insurance seriously.

For commercial clients, builders and contractors, these considerations become even more important.

Ace 1's commercial division also identifies the company as WSIB and fully insured and emphasizes safety compliance and professional job-site operations. AAce1qualityroofing.c

Experience That Goes Beyond a Certificate

Credentials are important, but a certificate alone does not install a roof.

Experience matters.

Ace 1 Quality Roofing is owned and operated by Daniel Mahon. The company's About page states that Dan has more than 15 years of roofing-industry experience, while the company's Crew page describes Daniel as having more than 20 years of experience. AAce1qualityroofing.c+1

That experience is applied to residential and commercial roofing projects throughout the Niagara Region and surrounding communities.

Our team works with a variety of roofing systems and exterior services, including:

• Roof replacements

• Roof repairs

• Asphalt shingles

• Architectural shingles

• Metal roofing

• Commercial roofing

• Roof inspections

• Storm-damage assessments

• Siding

• Soffit and fascia

• Eavestroughs

• Attic insulation

• Ventilation

• Exterior repairs

This broader understanding of the building envelope allows us to look beyond the roof itself.

Sometimes a roofing problem isn't just a roofing problem.

Poor attic ventilation, damaged flashing, deteriorated soffit, inadequate drainage or failing eavestroughs can all contribute to problems around the exterior of a home.

More Than 200 Five-Star Reviews

There is another credential that cannot simply be printed on a certificate:

What do your customers say?

Ace 1's website currently highlights more than 200 five-star reviews, while the company's GAF profile also displays a strong review history. AAce1qualityroofing.c+1

Customer feedback frequently focuses on qualities that matter during a roofing project:

Communication.

Professionalism.

Quality workmanship.

Reliability.

Clean-up.

Responsiveness.

Those qualities matter because replacing a roof can be stressful.

Homeowners are trusting a contractor with one of the most important parts of their property. They want to know when the crew will arrive, what work is being performed, what materials are being installed and what happens when the job is finished.

At Ace 1, our goal is to make that process as straightforward and transparent as possible.

A Complete Exterior Company

Although roofing is at the heart of what we do, Ace 1 Quality Roofing has grown into a complete exterior home improvement company.

We provide services including roofing, siding, eavestroughs, soffit and fascia, attic insulation, metal roofing and exterior repairs. AAce1qualityroofing.c

That gives homeowners the option of working with one experienced exterior contractor when multiple components of the home need attention.

For example, a homeowner replacing a roof may also discover that the soffit or fascia needs repair.

A roofing replacement may also be the right time to address attic ventilation.

An eavestrough replacement may improve drainage around the home.

Our goal is to look at the exterior as a complete system and help homeowners understand which improvements are necessary and which ones can wait.

Free, No-Obligation Roof Inspections and Estimates

We believe homeowners should have the opportunity to understand the condition of their roof before making a major financial decision.

Ace 1 offers free, no-obligation consultations and estimates.

Our team can inspect the roof, explain the condition we find and discuss potential solutions with the homeowner. The company also promotes drone inspections with photos and roof layouts. AAce1qualityroofing.c+1

Not every roof automatically needs to be replaced.

Sometimes a repair is the better solution.

Sometimes replacement makes more sense.

The important thing is understanding the condition of the roofing system and making an informed decision.

Why Credentials Matter When Choosing a Roofer

When homeowners compare roofing contractors, it can be difficult to know what questions to ask.

We recommend looking beyond the price on the estimate.

Ask:

Is the contractor manufacturer-certified?

Are they properly insured?

Do they have a strong reputation?

Are they established in the community?

Can they explain the roofing system they are recommending?

Do they provide a written scope of work?

What materials are being installed?

How will ventilation and flashing be handled?

How will the property be cleaned after installation?

Does the contractor have experience with your type of roof?

These questions can help homeowners make a more informed decision.

At Ace 1 Quality Roofing, we are proud to have built our company around the answers to many of these questions.

Our Commitment Goes Beyond the Certificate

A certification is valuable.

An accreditation is valuable.

Insurance is valuable.

Experience is valuable.

Customer reviews are valuable.

But none of them replace the responsibility that comes with working on someone's home.

At Ace 1 Quality Roofing, we believe our reputation is built one project at a time.

That means showing up.

Communicating with our customers.

Using quality materials.

Following manufacturer-recommended installation practices.

Paying attention to the details.

Protecting the property.

Cleaning up when the work is finished.

And treating every roof as though it matters — because it does.
