American Roofing and Roof Cleaning

Review: I contracted American Roofing to replace my roof on July 5th 2015. He stated at that time that he would start work on July 6th. I gave him a down payment of $1300. By July 9th he had still not begun the work. I made a call and reached his girlfriend who informed me that they would be there the following day. They did not arrive and after another call was told they would be there the following day. When I returned from work on Saturday July 11th they had been at the house and started the tear off of the roof. They had not placed any tarps on the ground and had debris everywhere. They had broken bushes, left marks on my pool and siding and had only done half the roof. After I called to complain they promised me that they would be there at 7am the next morning. They arrived at 1030am and the company owner was not present. They assured me that would have the roof completed that day and in return I was to give them an additional $1000 dollars, reserving $300 of the final payment to insure that a dumpster would be delivered and the mess cleaned up. They worked until dark and the owners girlfriend informed me that the roof was completed. I gave a check for the additional money and she assured me that a dumpster would be delivered the next day. When I went to look at the roof the next morning in the daylight I noticed numerous discrepancies and contacted a contractor to look at the job. He immediately told me to stop payment on the last check I had issued, which it did. They had incorrectly flashed my chimneys, the shingles were humped and raised in places, the gutters were improperly reattached, and instead of a ridge vent that ran the length of the roof I had only a six foot piece. I called the owners phone and his girlfriend answered and I was informed that he was in jail. I told her my complaints and she assured me they would be out the following day to correct the roof. Needless to say they never arrived, ever.Desired Settlement: I want no further contact by this company, as I have contracted another company to fix the damages. I want other people to be aware of Antonio S[redacted] and American Roofing and Roof Cleaning.
