The upshot is I'm recommending you hire another roofer. 1. Sales experience was good. No high pressure sales, explanation of products available and a knowledgeable sales rep who inspired confidence in us that this was the company to fix our leaking roof. 2. Once paperwork was signed they came and tarped over our leak and the water into our attic and mudroom immediately stopped. Relief! 3. Started work removing old roof approximately 6-8 weeks after signed contract which was the time frame we were given. 4. Workers descended on property and we were told it was a 3 day job. They were here for 3 weeks. This was a factor of weather, some rotten decking that was found but also the fact that whole non-rainy days would go by and no one would show up. We were told they were working on multiple jobs at the same time and a "full" crew would not be available to us. 5. The problem with watching whole days go by without work being done is that our roof is ripped up. So you worry that if it rains you might spring leaks all over the place which leads me to... 6. Our house sprung leaks all over the place. After roof work began water started leaking into our attic and mudroom again. They must have displaced the tarps that were protecting us. They came back and made adjustments but water continued to leak into the mudroom until the work was complete. After they ripped the roof off on the other side of the house they called it quits for the day. I asked the project manager if this was a good idea leaving our roof exposed with only paper on it. He said the paper was rated to take water - no worries. Rained that night had water in our bedroom AND our garage. Two spots that had not leaked before. Calls and emails. They are back the next day with apologies more tarps and completed the roofing over our bedroom. 7. Damage to the ceiling of our house. After they completed the section of roof over our bedroom I noticed nail pops in our ceiling and two cracks in the drywall. Project manager came in and inspected agreed to pay for dry wall damage. Nobody could be sure who damaged our ceiling was it the insulation guys (subs) or the roofers (subs) so they split the cost of the repair. 8. At the end of 3 weeks they just disappeared. I was waiting for the final walk through where someone walks us around and explains to us in detail what was done with our tens of thousands of dollars. We had a few questions we were saving up for that walk through and one spot where the trim didn't seem to be put on properly that we wanted to have fixed. But nothing. 9. After 3 weeks I called the office. I inquired whether I would be sent a final invoice or what was going on. Was told job was still "open". I waited another 2 weeks and called again. Was told invoice was being worked on. Called another week later was told invoice in the mail. 10. After not seeing a worker or project manager for 6 weeks an invoice arrives in the mail for $9,000 more than the estimate. So I call again seeking out the reason for the high invoice and also wanting to know how a company can authorize so much work without seeking our approval. Ooops they say we were over charged. New invoice on its way. Didn't matter because husband and I already decided we shouldn't pay until that trim was fixed and somebody took the time to walk us through our new roof. 11. On November 29th, my husband swung by the house in between running a few errands and there was a worker there fixing the trim. He took the opportunity to ask all of our questions about our new roof and he felt satisfied with the answers. If he had not popped home unexpectedly I still don't know if our questions would have been answered. Once the contract was signed it just all went downhill. Such poor communication on their part and so much needless damage to our house when all we wanted was a new roof.
