Jcubed has all required licences. They started on time and finished on time. I was consulted on possible options and every phase was explained so throughly that I was comfortable knowing what was going on. Site cleanup was excellent. Even two years later, when a minor oroblem occurred, he was quick to fix things and at no cost. John is quick to answer the phone and respond to any concerns. John is courteous, polite and efficient. **Comment from J Cubed Custom Inc:** > Hello Rick, > Your kind words are noted and we thank you for sharing your experience with J Cubed Custom's services. **★ — Timm Stein, Oct. 2016** > This Roofing company performed very poorly. In the beginning there was lots of nice talk and promises were made so that he gets the job. The biggest issue were poorly installed scuppers on flat roofs of the project. This company installed them incorrectly from the start, came back twice to fix them, but made the issue even worse. Water had entered the buildings because of their faulty installation and the construction was delayed by several months. Two independent, professional roofing companies reviewed the installation and came to the conclusion that the scuppers were not installed correctly. Instead of taking responsibility, this company has been trying to blame others from the architect to the framer, the client and the exterior finisher. In my professional opinion this is negligent and I do not recommend this business to anyone at all! > > I wish that Mr. John Johnston of J Cubed Custom Inc would be professional enough to stick to the facts and try his best to get those right. He admits to "hicups" as he likes to call them, however he does not address any of the particular details, which we understand as an admission of the faulty installation. Instead, he choses to attack our company with allegations that have no grounds. Our company was not the general contractor on this project. We were hired as the construction manager to oversee the construction and the various trades. J Cubed Custom simply did not perform well, and did not live up to the quality and workmanship standards that Mr. Johnston promised to the client. J Cubed Custom was a huge disappointment, and interestingly enough the only disappointment we had on the project. We invite Mr. Johnston to back up his claims against our company, which we take very seriously. Our legal department would be more than happy to review these allegations and initiate potential action against Mr. Johnston on grounds of defamation and reputational damages. **Comment from J Cubed Custom Inc:** > It has been my experience that there are always 2 sides of a story in every situation. I find it peculiar that this is the first time I hear from Timm Stein owner of Stein Engineering in this unusual manner. I will be the first to admit that in construction there are sometimes "hicups," if you will, in projects that are worked upon. It is how you work towards rectifying those problems that makes you a professional in your field. Timm was hired as the general contractor on this particular project as well as the engineering firm that designed the structure. His interests in resolving the issue at hand were never addressed and left for his very inexperienced client to figure out on his own. His lack of guidance for his client and "non existent" approach to dealing with his contractors was astonishing. On the contrary I do NOT recommend hiring Stein Engineering on any future projects! As well as a respected contractor within the community will choose not to work with Timm or Stein Engineering in any way shape or form. ## Selected projects - [Metal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/metal-pj-vj~287874) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 3 - Description: Metal chase cap, standing seam - [Bridges](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bridges-pj-vj~282583) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 5 - Description: Traditional, cedar bridge - [2 Ply Torch - SBS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2-ply-torch-sbs-pj-vj~287875) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 9 - Description: Flat Roofing, 2 ply torch - SBS - [Stone roof](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stone-roof-pj-vj~339308) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Cedar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cedar-pj-vj~287869) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Copper](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/copper-pj-vj~282574) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 12 - Description: Copper roofing, eaves troughs - [Architectural Laminates](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/architectural-laminates-pj-vj~287872) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 70 - [Framing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/framing-pj-vj~282468) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/roofing-and-gutters/j-cubed-custom-inc-pfvwus-pf~1862888872) ## Ideabooks - [2 Ply Torch](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14973281/list/2-ply-torch) — 3 ideas - [Bridges](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14965671/list/bridges) — 7 ideas - [Cedar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14973115/list/cedar) — 4 ideas - [Architectural Laminates](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14973412/list/architectural-laminates) — 4 ideas - [Copper Roofing](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14966572/list/copper-roofing) — 7 ideas [See all 5 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/j-cubedcustom1) ## Community Q&A **Q: Pros and Cons of Metal Roof** *(in Building a Home)* We are in the process of getting permits for our new farmhouse. My husband and I both want a metal roof, but we have noticed several in our area that the color has faded over time. Has anyone had any experience with that and can maybe recommend a particular brand that is more durable? A: This bubbling is called "Oil Canning" and is typical with thinner gauge metals in an application such as this. 24 gauge is ideal in a standing seam installation especially if the panels are over 20" and the panel is smooth. We typically like to run a couple of pencil ribs along the panel which adds strength. If you were using a 26 gauge panel these ribs are a must it is just to likely that the panel will oil can and off set the look of such an appealing architectural panel. With any installation J Cubed Custom installs we prefer the mechanical lock system with hidden fasteners. This example is a hidden fastener, mechanically locked 1 1/2", 24 gauge, 17 5/8" panel with 2 pencil ribs. **Q: Skylights on a flat roof?** *(in Home Repair)* I have a 2500 square feet house with flat roof in Phoenix, it was built back in mid 70s. I would like to have at least 4 (2x4) skylights installed, I do wonder if it is possible without breaching the integrity of the roof in any way? I have seen skylights on flat roof in my area however couple of the contractors I have spoken to didn't appear too keen on skylights, they suggested that I should look into 10-12" solar tunnels. I would appreciate any insight into this, please. Thank you. A: Wow I'm thoroughly taken aback! It sounds like everyone despises flat roof systems. I have been involved in flat roof construction for the entirety of my career. Installing skylights in a flat roof system is perfectly fine and have done so an extensive amount of times. Flat roofs need to be understood and understood well. I happen to live in a climate where 6 months of the year we are under snow. Roof penetrations no matter what they be in a flat roof need to be installed with care and knowledge by journeymen roofers. Sloped roofers are very different from flat roofers. To be a sloped roofer you do need to know a few things about installation but to be a flat roofer you should be ticketed. Do not be afraid of flat roofs just talk to the right people that are professionals in the field. **Q: Flat roof garage exhaust solution!!** *(in Windows)* Hello, I am in AZ and my flat roof garage (20 X 24 with 8' ceiling) gets quite hot during summer months due to the trapped heat inside, I would like to install some sort of exhaust so the heat is not constantly baking my vehicles. if it was a pitched roof, I would simply have couple of Whirlybirds installed however due to the flat roof that may not be possible. There have been suggestions that I should looking into having AC installed, and I am sure that may be a solution, but I just need to employ a solution that doesn't require an AC. I thank you for your help. A: WoW Ltd. you may read my wording wrong and it may have come across that way no disrespect by any means. **Q: I did not find the roof drainage on the roof, how does it work?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: A Green Roof is a fantastic insulator. **Q: What to use instead of TPO roofing for flat(ish) roof?** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are building a new home with a mostly flat roof line. Our options for roofing are TPO, metal, living or rock. We don't like any of these options and were wondering what creative ideas our houzz community may have come up with? Incidentally, we look down at the house as we come down the pathway A: You do have a few different waterproofing membranes you can use or metal. Single plys are TPO, EPDM or PVC whereas 2 plys are called Torch On. Depending on the climate you some single plys are better than others I suggest speaking with a roof contractor. 2 ply torch is by far superior over any single ply .better than others **Q: Roofing application, what would recommend roofing with? Spray foam?** *(in Photo Questions)* I have a flat roof deck that is very similar to this one with a spray foam roof and then Tyvek decking on top of sleepers. We are re-doing the roof and wonder what you would recommend for roofing material? A: 2-ply torch --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-09.*
