2024 Year-End Store Hours
Thank You HRFE!
A couple of weeks ago (Mar 8th, 2024 to be exact), there was a fire alarm raised at the CIBC building, which was 2 doors down from our shop. It seemed there was a report of smoke coming out of their roof. The HRFE (Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency) promptly came to check them out. Among others, they brought in a fire truck with an aerial ladder so that they could inspect the building’s roof.
Thankfully, the CIBC building had not caught fire and our corner of Quinpool Road eventually returned to its peaceful pace. But before they left, the fireman who was up on the ladder came knocking at our door. He said that while he was up there, he also had a good look at our roof. Apparently, a lot of shingles were gone and he could see bare wood! It was in dire need of repair and we would never have known.

We found a roofing company to fix it. They promptly came and got the job done over a weekend. They said we did it in the nick of time. Had we waited a while longer, we would’ve had a major problem on our hands, leaks and all! If ever you need a roof fixed, call Chris at Central Roofing. They can be trusted.
We never got the fireman’s name but we are really indebted to him. He could have just left us alone and minded his own business; but he went out of his way to warn us about our roof. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
And, this is why we love Halifax. Kindness still abounds!
