Sam and Crew

Some years back, Sam and Crew re-shingled my house roof, and now (Apr. 2024) it was the garage's turn. He's always very professional, and if there's something you are unhappy with after the work is competed, he'll be back to sort out any issues. I trust him 100%

Beware of Sam and Crew! (There is no "Crew" - Sam came with different hired hands each time)

** Please see poor reviews on Homestars **

My elderly mother needed a front porch rebuilt, as it was sinking on one corner in the ground from not being done properly the first time. She was very clear on what she wanted done. Sam began to rebuild the porch on the same unlevel angle it was sinking on. When we asked him what he was doing, he claimed making it level wasn't in the original contract, then said he would make it level and took his tools and never came back. He took half the money for the job, claiming he needed $980 per 1 pressure treated 6x6. We needed 2. He also made only concrete slabs instead of digging 3ft into the ground, which would result in even more sinking. We gave him the option to fix it, he told us to find someone else.

I had my house roof reshingled 13yrs ago. But then I developed a couple of roof leaks!!! Couldn't understand why the roof leaked, didn't look worn out. I called Sam and he fixed my problem in no time!!

He was professional, kind and very knowledgeable. Would I call him again?? Without question!!! He can work on my house anytime.

Thanks Sam and Crew

We have used Sam and Crew for a number of projects. The first was a large retaining wall at the back of our garden that had to be rebuilt. They did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. We have also used Sam and Crew to alleviate some drainage issues we were having. He was able to solve the problem with a satisfactory solution. They build a shed for us and they have done other brick and stone work.

I find Sam and Crew are always reliable, prompt, responsive and their workmanship is excellent.

I would recommend them without hesitation.

My wife and I first met Sam during the restoration of our first home. We didn't know a lot about bricks or mortar at the time. Sam took the time to explain what was best for our specific situation and actually saved us money by steering us away from an unnecessary pricey "solution" I was willing to finance. Sam wasn't the cheapest quote we received but he took the time to make sure we got it right - no shortcuts! We ended up selling our home and because of Sam's work and ability to color match the mortar, we sold it above market value! After moving to Cambridge we called Sam for a referral but he said he would come to Cambridge to give us a quote. He discounted the quote because we were already a repeat customer! The garage door lintel was installed safely and saved our entire house front. You would be lucky to have Sam working on your home because he actually cares about people and not just "getting paid". Thanks Sam

I own a business in Niagara Falls for over 10 years and my facade needed to be redone.

Find Sam and crew by recommendation.

Communication was easy, got a quote and a time for the job.

Everything was great, damage wood replace, primer and painted executed in the time frame mention in the quote.

I recommend Sam and and Crew, professionals and well price, I will use them soon for my flat roof.

I was thoroughly satisfied with my dealings with Sam and his guys. Sam explained step by step what has to be done to correct the leak in my flat garage roof. The job was done on August 29th and everything was handled in a professional manner from start to finish. Sam and his crew completed the job as promised. The workmanship was excellent and the job looks great. I would definitely use Eclipse roofing for any other services that they provide.

This is being written 6 years from the time the roof was installed. The roofing material that Sam used is rubber base wide material called EPDM. We had major wind weather conditions that was interfered by wild animals trying to find new home. One corner was damaged and my eaves cleaning guy mentioned that. I emailed Sam pictures of the damage and asked about repairing same. He promptly responded, via email, and within few days the matter was dealt with. He didn’t charge any extra even the matter was an act of god and is not coveted by warranty. It took them about 20 minutes to bring peace into my life as I was so worried about this issue. In reality I never expected a contractor to come back years after completing a job. I was wrong.

Sam Sumaida, using the name Sam & Crew, is nothing short of crooked. A bad contractor. He uses false business addresses (people at the address did not recognize Sam when visited). Not registered with the City of Hamilton. He improperly installed Firestone EPDM roofing. Major water pockets as roofing was not glued down. Firestone Roofing's own Canadian representatives, MJ Building Envelope Solutions Inc., stated: "Wow! This is definitely a bad installation to say the least" and "One thing in particular I should point out is the seam between the narrow section and the wider part of the roof there appears to be a seam that is connected with a bituminous (asphalt) membrane ( its is a beige colour with Blue print – SopraSeal AVB). This product is completely incompatible to the synthetic rubber membrane and regardless of the action you take, this has to be remedied.".

When we reached out to Sam at first he was defensive, then "You like us to change our ways, we can do that but that requires new payments as it is not included in the original quote" even though it was included in the original proposal. Then he blocked my number. Not responding at all to our concerns.

Don't use Sam. He's bad news.
