As we have previously stated, [redacted] is in the process of a lawsuit with ARIThis fact alone is not grounds for a complaint against our business.All of the patio work that was completed by ARI’s subcontractor was done AFTER [redacted] had supposedly finished their workThey “finished” the patio with non matching colors which the homeowner was not satisfied withWe had to have our subcontractor remove and replace all that was unsatisfactory.The engineering plans [redacted] is referring to were not included in the original insurance documents that I have previously attachedThat being said, the money that the Hollenbecks paid to [redacted] for any additional work was supposed to go towards all pre-approved work on the insurance documentsAny additional work that was paid to [redacted] came directly out of the funds for the rest of the insurance estimateARI is not responsible for recouping those funds from the insurance company, because we did not do work outside of the original scopeOur services were already pre-approved and funds were paid to the homeowner by the insurance company[redacted] should have requested any additional funds through the insurance company in order to make his house up to current code, and pay [redacted] with the money allotted for that specific work; not the money that was already assigned to go elsewhere.ARI did submit the proper paperwork to the insurance companyThe insurance company released ALL funds to the homeowner for work that was pre-approved and in the itemized insurance documentsThe homeowners paid [redacted] more than was allotted in those insurance documents.ARI is not billing [redacted] for the entire amount on the insurance documents ($30,659.70) as you can plainly see in our invoice to the insuredWe want to get paid for the work that we completed.At the basis of this complaint and issue is that [redacted] grossly overpaid one company and did not pay ARI for the services rendered by ARI.Again, ARI is not billing the Hollenbecks for work we did not completeWe do deserve to get paid for the services that we provided and have detailed documentation forIt is not our responsibility to try and recover funds that were errantly paid to another company as they do not work for usThe homeowner signed a contract with ARI and is therefore responsible to pay ARI for the work that we performed.As for [redacted] ’s claim that we billed them for an erroneous amount of $30,000, look on the documents provided from the insurance companyARI billed StateFarm for the amount of $30,We billed them this amount so they would release all pre-approved funds to the homeownerAll pre-approved work had been completed, so we sent in a Certificate of Completion along with an invoice for completed servicesIt was up to the homeowner to disperse those funds properly, which he did not.ARI is only trying to recover money for the work that we performedFiling a complaint with the Revdex.com is this homeowner’s way of trying to defer payment to ARI for the services that were rendered and billed to [redacted] by ARIAlso, claiming that ARI has done this in the past is not only and unnecessary slander, but irrelevant to this issue

The fact that ARI did indeed contracted with an other patio company and a rain gutter contractor to preform work on my home without ever producing either a bid or a design or the color and choice of products for our approval is proof the *** *** is either unaware of the conduct of his employee, ***, or is just outright lying.ARI produced a hand written invoice that was sent to our insurance company on Jan2014, that only says, "Roof replacement, $30," there is no itemization for materials, labor, sub contracting for rain gutters or any other work. At no time has ARI ever provided us or our insurance company with an estimate or a detailed explanation for materials, labor, or work performed by the company they hired to replace the damaged cover over our entry way. Regards,*** *** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is the first time I ever saw the invoiceI will point out that when *** produced the agreement that I signed he told us he would handle all correspondence with the insurance company and that ARI would have the front cover replaced by a contractor they use, it was *** that told me ARI was not happy with *** ***, and that ARI (***) would find another company He also handled the hiring of the rain gutter company. The first patio company *** hired sent out a repthat never followed up on the project, it was two months before *** found out the rep had quit the company taking all leads and our proposal with him. *** then found another company, this one never asked us what color material or what design we wanted, I asked them specifically to show meI came home to find a terribly designed cover up, mounted at the front with four inch tall brackets bolted directly through our roof, and the back mounted flush to our roofBesides being ugly, was white, all the rest of our trim is a cream colorThe flush mounting at the rear would have created a snow dam. To his credit, *** agreed it was unacceptable and immediately contacted the company and had the issue resolved.However, I never saw a cost estimate or a design proposal.I should mention that when ARIs crew removed the original cover they did not remove the lag bolts that were driven into the facia boards, they just ripped it down, splitting the facia boards on both sides of the entry way. *** was aware of this, in fact the rain gutter contractor meet him here and told him the work could not be completed until the damage was repairedIt took another weeks for *** to repair the damage, and replace the shingles damaged by the first cover mounting brackets.*** did mention that he had tried to get ARIs crew to return to repair the damage, but that he was tired of their putting us off, so he did it himself, I must commend him,meh did a good job, by himself.The Insurance company provided me with the only claim they ever received from ARI, I have provided a copy to MrRice, ARI lawyer.All it shows is a hand written note on a ARI invoice, billing them for the full amount of $30k plus dollars. That claim was denied. I suggest that if the insurance company had paid on that claim, ARI would have been over paid by some $20,and would not seek to return the over paymentI have asked for an explanation for this attempted over billing several times to no availThis is what made me ask about insurance fraudWhat other reason is there for submitting a bill for $20,more then you are owed? This has been a nightmare for usFrom the time I agreed to have ARI handle the roof repair to the time our roof was finished was months.During that time I referred other customers to ARI and their jobs were completed within one month. We never saw a estimated cost, until today, *** promised me he would handle everythingObviously he did not. The last time we spoke with ***, in January of this year, he assured us the case had been handled and everything was fine. I want to make sure that ARI is paid what they are owed, but if ARIs failure to communicate with the insurance company and provide them with the correct information and a proper detailed claim results in ARIs being under paid, who is responsible? Respectfully*** ***

I also want to let you know that in my original complaint I said that ARI had done this before....here is my statementOur insurance company is looking into this further but has assured us this is a scam and it has happened before with ARI..........I shouldn't have said it has happened before with ARI, but it has happened before, my agent looked it up on the internet and scams were going around our area...he didn't say they were ARI, just that they were happening...I didn't mean to mis-speak but I was angry I would like you to ask ARI for the documents that they are claiming we signed, the pic I sent you at the start of all this , is the only one I have and it is blurry

Unfortunately, that is trueThere are scammers out there, but to point fingers at a reputable business will put the honest people out of businessWe are a local, family owned businessWe have been in the Treasure Valley for years, and this is the first time anyone has ever accused us of forgeryAs we stated in our last response, it would not benefit us in ANY wayWe are here to stay, so our reputation means everything to us.We understand that our business may frighten some homeowners (because of all of the dishonest scammers out there), so that's why we give the option to do work on homes BEFORE we accept any moneyThat alone is enough to prove that we are ABSOLUTELY not a scamWe also welcome and encourage our homeowners to come to our office and meet our team membersLastly, we do have references and could even go as far as asking insurance adjusters to verify their great working relationships with our companyWe absolutely do not force (or forge) our customers to work with usAgain, we wouldn't profit from doing so.We did what any reputable company would do, and we cancelled the *** contract free and clear, even though we have a cancellation clause in our contract.I will be attaching the contract in another response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to [redacted] and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. I have read ARI's message and do not agree. Whatever document ARI has with our so called signatures on it, we have never seen or signed. Those are not my nor my husband signatures, and we are willing to prove that!! And we have no knowledge of this phone call that ARI claims is recorded. If there is such a call recorded, let's compare it to my husbands voice since they say it it my husband who called. ARI should send you copies of this document with the forged signatures and my husband and I are willing to send in proof these are not our signatures. Again what is this recording they say they have, speak to my husband and listen to the recording...it is not him! We don't understand why ARI is doing this to us.

When the [redacted]equested their contract be terminated, ARI complied immediately with no further discussion or contact BEFORE Revdex.com was ever involved. ARI has received NO money, provided NO service, and are not in contract with the [redacted]. ARI did not forge any signatures.In saying that, we called our salesman again to get clarification on this issue. He said that [redacted] is the man living in the house. He claimed to be the [redacted] son-in-law who is in transition of buying the home. [redacted] wanted a roof replacement, called "the dad", who I'm assuming is [redacted] to get permission, the dad verbally approved, so they went on to sign the contract. Our salesman did not forge anyone's signature. He wouldn't have even known which insurance company to file a claim with if he did not have an inside source tell him.The claim and contract should not have been handled in the way that it was. It goes against our company's policy. The claim should NOT have been called in by [redacted] (though he apparently had verbal consent, that's still not how we run our business). We do apologize for this inconvenience, and our salesman has been dealt with.Frankly, we're thankful that this contract was cancelled and that the homeowner notified us. It was a learning lesson for the salesman, and we're thankful that we didn't give the [redacted] a free roof (which would have happened). Had we not been notified, we would have built the roof, the funds would have been sent directly to the [redacted], and since the contract was invalid, they could have kept the money leaving us thousands of dollars in the negative. This stupid mistake on our salesman's part would have really only had an affect on us.We can assure you, that this will not be happening again.
[redacted] did visit the [redacted] home at least 2 times, however the claims of forgery and filing a claim without knowledge of the homeowner are absurd and fabricated. The [redacted]'s knowingly and willingly signed any documents, and knowingly and willingly made a phone call to open the insurance claim....
An addition to the singing of documents, [redacted] made a phone call into the insurance call-center, and the call was recorded. Neither [redacted] voice or signature appears on any part of the [redacted]'s insurance claim. An insurance claim cannot be filed by anyone other than the homeowner.Claims by [redacted] that information was unknowingly obtained by [redacted] is false and misleading, and intended to slander Mr. Lawson and ARI. It is ridiculous to assert that ARI randomly "obtained" information from the [redacted]'s. The [redacted]'s provides the information themselves.The [redacted]'s insurance company is not "looking into" ARI. ARI has had zero incidences or claims of fraud, forgery, or scam. Be advised that any supposed "insurance representative" who claims ARI has been involved in a scam would be placing themselves in jeopardy of a lawsuit for slander, and subject to termination by their employer. ARI is a recognized vendor with several insurance companies, and has a perfect record of service and compliance with all major insurance companies. Upon request ARI can provide references and contacts of agents, adjusters, and supervisors from every major insurance company throughout treasure valley.The [redacted]'s claims are malicious, fabricated, and absurd. ARI categorically denies any and all accusations by the [redacted]'s. Further false accusations and slander against ARI may require legal action.-ARI
As we have previously stated, [redacted] is in the process of a lawsuit with ARI. This fact alone is not grounds for a complaint against our business.All of the patio work that was completed by ARI’s subcontractor was done AFTER [redacted] had supposedly finished their work. They “finished” the patio with non matching colors which the homeowner was not satisfied with. We had to have our subcontractor remove and replace all that was unsatisfactory.The engineering plans [redacted] is referring to were not included in the original insurance documents that I have previously attached. That being said, the money that the Hollenbecks paid to [redacted] for any additional work was supposed to go towards all pre-approved work on the insurance documents. Any additional work that was paid to [redacted] came directly out of the funds for the rest of the insurance estimate. ARI is not responsible for recouping those funds from the insurance company, because we did not do work outside of the original scope. Our services were already pre-approved and funds were paid to the homeowner by the insurance company.[redacted] should have requested any additional funds through the insurance company in order to make his house up to current code, and pay [redacted] with the money allotted for that specific work; not the money that was already assigned to go elsewhere.ARI did submit the proper paperwork to the insurance company. The insurance company released ALL funds to the homeowner for work that was pre-approved and in the itemized insurance documents. The homeowners paid [redacted] more than was allotted in those insurance documents.ARI is not billing [redacted] for the entire amount on the insurance documents ($30,659.70) as you can plainly see in our invoice to the insured. We want to get paid for the work that we completed.At the basis of this complaint and issue is that [redacted] grossly overpaid one company and did not pay ARI for the services rendered by ARI.Again, ARI is not billing the Hollenbecks for work we did not complete. We do deserve to get paid for the services that we provided and have detailed documentation for. It is not our responsibility to try and recover funds that were errantly paid to another company as they do not work for us. The homeowner signed a contract with ARI and is therefore responsible to pay ARI for the work that we performed.As for [redacted]’s claim that we billed them for an erroneous amount of $30,000, look on the documents provided from the insurance company. ARI billed StateFarm for the amount of $30,659.70. We billed them this amount so they would release all pre-approved funds to the homeowner. All pre-approved work had been completed, so we sent in a Certificate of Completion along with an invoice for completed services. It was up to the homeowner to disperse those funds properly, which he did not.ARI is only trying to recover money for the work that we performed. Filing a complaint with the Revdex.com is this homeowner’s way of trying to defer payment to ARI for the services that were rendered and billed to [redacted] by ARI. Also, claiming that ARI has done this in the past is not only false and unnecessary slander, but irrelevant to this issue.

[redacted]
[redacted]
I have attached all of the documentation for this case.The first document attached if for [redacted]. This company was contracted by [redacted] himself before ARI was involved with this roof. Attached is the invoice sent from [redacted] to [redacted] for a total of $13,721. [redacted] paid them a whopping $24,623.72 for unfinished and unsatisfactory work. [redacted] began their work on the rear patio portions of this roof BEFORE ARI had begun any work on the home. This company was responsible for removing the gutters and caused all of the damage to the rear of the dwelling.Second, I have attached [redacted] invoice. This company WAS contracted by ARI to do work to the front patio of [redacted]'s dwelling. Upon entering the job site, they quickly learned that the rear patio did not match the dwelling, and that the gutters were ripped out of the facia, resulting in a need of replacement. I have attached the bills that we paid to them as a subcontractor of ARI. Their bills totaled $2036 ($500-to remove non matching work done by [redacted]+ $1536-to correctly install the front patio).Third, I have attached the bill from the gutter work that ARI subcontracted out to fix [redacted]s gutter problems on the rear of the house totaling $811.Fourth, there is a detailed list of work needed to be done from the insurance company, which specifically outlines what they were willing to pay for each particular portion of the house. This itemized list was given to the homeowner directly from the insurance company, so the insured knew exactly what the insurance company was going to pay. ARI was also given a copy of these documents so we knew what we needed to pay our subcontractors for each specific job. Page 2 contains the amount that insurance company was willing to pay which totaled $31,159.70. On page 3, you can see that the insurance company has allotted $10,647.57 for ROOFING work only, not Patio. Page 3 shows money allotted to ALL patio work, front AND back @ $19,743.00.Fifth, I have attached a copy of our invoice statement sent to the insurance company.Sixth, I have attached the itemized invoice that we sent to the homeowner for work that ARI completed dated 1/28/2015 for the amount of $14,035.32 (-$5,535.98 which [redacted] originally paid to ARI). To clear up any confusion, there are differences between our subcontractors’ invoices and ours to the Hollenbecks. We do run a business, so if we charged customers our cost, there would be no profit in this for us.By completing simple math based on the insurance documents, ARI was contracted for and completed the work for Roofing the house ($10647.57), plus patio replacement done improperly by [redacted] ($2,436.00), Plus gutter replacement ($822.00), Plus a building permit required by the city of Eagle, Idaho ($129.75) for a grand total of $14035.32 for work being completed by ARI. This number is far off of the $5,535.98 that we have been paid so far by [redacted].Because this matter is in the process of a lawsuit between [redacted] and ARI, we feel that a complaint with the Revdex.com is unwarranted as the only reason for the complaint is that the homeowner does not wish to pay ARI the money that it is owed.
It's unclear what resolution the [redacted] are seeking from their complaint. The [redacted] question of “why ARI is doing this to us" is impossible to answer. ARI has not engaged the [redacted] in any way. When the [redacted] requested their contract be terminated, ARI complied immediately with no further discussion or contact. ARI has received no money, provided no service, and nothing profitable has been gained by the [redacted] false accusations.In this business, we have to be picky about our customers. We have built many roofs before collecting a dime from homeowners, so if we cannot trust them, then we chance losing money. To explain a little further on how our business works, we have homeowners call in claims, we then help them get their roofs fully financed through their insurance companies (homeowners are responsible for their deductibles), the insurance companies make checks out to the HOMEOWNERS (NOT ARI), we may or may not have them sign it over to us before we start work, we build their roofs, make sure the homeowners are happy, and then we proceed with payments and collecting full replacement costs.We have assisted over 600 insured homeowners in receiving compensation for storm damage, and having their roofs replaced. We have received zero reports or claims of fraud. Insurance checks are always dispersed to the insured homeowners, so it would make no sense for us to forge a signature, engage in fraud, or openly impersonate or deceive any homeowner and their insurance company, because it is illegal, unethical, and absolutely unprofitable.Again, forgery would not benefit us in any way. Insurance companies do not put us as the main payee on checks, so forging signatures would NOT be profitable. In saying that, it would be pointless and itic for us to forge signatures.The [redacted] have not been compromised in any way by ARI, and their contract has been terminated. The [redacted] insistence on pursuing this matter are of their own making. ARI did not forge the [redacted] signature. ARI did not open the [redacted] insurance claim. ARI did not receive any money, or perform any service.
[redacted] did visit the [redacted] home at least times, however the claims of forgery and filing a claim without knowledge of the homeowner are absurd and fabricatedThe ***'s knowingly and willingly signed any documents, and knowingly and willingly made a phone call to open the insurance claim An addition to the singing of documents, [redacted] made a phone call into the insurance call-center, and the call was recordedNeither [redacted] voice or signature appears on any part of the ***'s insurance claimAn insurance claim cannot be filed by anyone other than the homeowner.Claims by [redacted] that information was unknowingly obtained by [redacted] is and misleading, and intended to slander MrLawson and ARIIt is ridiculous to assert that ARI randomly "obtained" information from the ***'sThe ***'s provides the information themselves.The ***'s insurance company is not "looking into" ARIARI has had zero incidences or claims of fraud, forgery, or scamBe advised that any supposed "insurance representative" who claims ARI has been involved in a scam would be placing themselves in jeopardy of a lawsuit for slander, and subject to termination by their employerARI is a recognized vendor with several insurance companies, and has a perfect record of service and compliance with all major insurance companiesUpon request ARI can provide references and contacts of agents, adjusters, and supervisors from every major insurance company throughout treasure valley.The ***'s claims are malicious, fabricated, and absurdARI categorically denies any and all accusations by the ***'sFurther accusations and slander against ARI may require legal action.-ARI
As we have previously stated, [redacted] is in the process of a lawsuit with ARIThis fact alone is not grounds for a complaint against our business.All of the patio work that was completed by ARI’s subcontractor was done AFTER [redacted] had supposedly finished their workThey “finished” the patio with non matching colors which the homeowner was not satisfied withWe had to have our subcontractor remove and replace all that was unsatisfactory.The engineering plans [redacted] is referring to were not included in the original insurance documents that I have previously attachedThat being said, the money that the Hollenbecks paid to [redacted] for any additional work was supposed to go towards all pre-approved work on the insurance documentsAny additional work that was paid to [redacted] came directly out of the funds for the rest of the insurance estimateARI is not responsible for recouping those funds from the insurance company, because we did not do work outside of the original scopeOur services were already pre-approved and funds were paid to the homeowner by the insurance company[redacted] should have requested any additional funds through the insurance company in order to make his house up to current code, and pay [redacted] with the money allotted for that specific work; not the money that was already assigned to go elsewhere.ARI did submit the proper paperwork to the insurance companyThe insurance company released ALL funds to the homeowner for work that was pre-approved and in the itemized insurance documentsThe homeowners paid [redacted] more than was allotted in those insurance documents.ARI is not billing [redacted] for the entire amount on the insurance documents ($30,659.70) as you can plainly see in our invoice to the insuredWe want to get paid for the work that we completed.At the basis of this complaint and issue is that [redacted] grossly overpaid one company and did not pay ARI for the services rendered by ARI.Again, ARI is not billing the Hollenbecks for work we did not completeWe do deserve to get paid for the services that we provided and have detailed documentation forIt is not our responsibility to try and recover funds that were errantly paid to another company as they do not work for usThe homeowner signed a contract with ARI and is therefore responsible to pay ARI for the work that we performed.As for [redacted] ’s claim that we billed them for an erroneous amount of $30,000, look on the documents provided from the insurance companyARI billed StateFarm for the amount of $30,We billed them this amount so they would release all pre-approved funds to the homeownerAll pre-approved work had been completed, so we sent in a Certificate of Completion along with an invoice for completed servicesIt was up to the homeowner to disperse those funds properly, which he did not.ARI is only trying to recover money for the work that we performedFiling a complaint with the Revdex.com is this homeowner’s way of trying to defer payment to ARI for the services that were rendered and billed to [redacted] by ARIAlso, claiming that ARI has done this in the past is not only and unnecessary slander, but irrelevant to this issue

The fact that ARI did indeed contracted with an other patio company and a rain gutter contractor to preform work on my home without ever producing either a bid or a design or the color and choice of products for our approval is proof the *** *** is either unaware of the conduct of his employee, ***, or is just outright lying.ARI produced a hand written invoice that was sent to our insurance company on Jan2014, that only says, "Roof replacement, $30," there is no itemization for materials, labor, sub contracting for rain gutters or any other work. At no time has ARI ever provided us or our insurance company with an estimate or a detailed explanation for materials, labor, or work performed by the company they hired to replace the damaged cover over our entry way. Regards,*** *** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is the first time I ever saw the invoiceI will point out that when *** produced the agreement that I signed he told us he would handle all correspondence with the insurance company and that ARI would have the front cover replaced by a contractor they use, it was *** that told me ARI was not happy with *** ***, and that ARI (***) would find another company He also handled the hiring of the rain gutter company. The first patio company *** hired sent out a repthat never followed up on the project, it was two months before *** found out the rep had quit the company taking all leads and our proposal with him. *** then found another company, this one never asked us what color material or what design we wanted, I asked them specifically to show meI came home to find a terribly designed cover up, mounted at the front with four inch tall brackets bolted directly through our roof, and the back mounted flush to our roofBesides being ugly, was white, all the rest of our trim is a cream colorThe flush mounting at the rear would have created a snow dam. To his credit, *** agreed it was unacceptable and immediately contacted the company and had the issue resolved.However, I never saw a cost estimate or a design proposal.I should mention that when ARIs crew removed the original cover they did not remove the lag bolts that were driven into the facia boards, they just ripped it down, splitting the facia boards on both sides of the entry way. *** was aware of this, in fact the rain gutter contractor meet him here and told him the work could not be completed until the damage was repairedIt took another weeks for *** to repair the damage, and replace the shingles damaged by the first cover mounting brackets.*** did mention that he had tried to get ARIs crew to return to repair the damage, but that he was tired of their putting us off, so he did it himself, I must commend him,meh did a good job, by himself.The Insurance company provided me with the only claim they ever received from ARI, I have provided a copy to MrRice, ARI lawyer.All it shows is a hand written note on a ARI invoice, billing them for the full amount of $30k plus dollars. That claim was denied. I suggest that if the insurance company had paid on that claim, ARI would have been over paid by some $20,and would not seek to return the over paymentI have asked for an explanation for this attempted over billing several times to no availThis is what made me ask about insurance fraudWhat other reason is there for submitting a bill for $20,more then you are owed? This has been a nightmare for usFrom the time I agreed to have ARI handle the roof repair to the time our roof was finished was months.During that time I referred other customers to ARI and their jobs were completed within one month. We never saw a estimated cost, until today, *** promised me he would handle everythingObviously he did not. The last time we spoke with ***, in January of this year, he assured us the case had been handled and everything was fine. I want to make sure that ARI is paid what they are owed, but if ARIs failure to communicate with the insurance company and provide them with the correct information and a proper detailed claim results in ARIs being under paid, who is responsible? Respectfully*** ***

I also want to let you know that in my original complaint I said that ARI had done this before....here is my statementOur insurance company is looking into this further but has assured us this is a scam and it has happened before with ARI..........I shouldn't have said it has happened before with ARI, but it has happened before, my agent looked it up on the internet and scams were going around our area...he didn't say they were ARI, just that they were happening...I didn't mean to mis-speak but I was angry I would like you to ask ARI for the documents that they are claiming we signed, the pic I sent you at the start of all this , is the only one I have and it is blurry

Unfortunately, that is trueThere are scammers out there, but to point fingers at a reputable business will put the honest people out of businessWe are a local, family owned businessWe have been in the Treasure Valley for years, and this is the first time anyone has ever accused us of forgeryAs we stated in our last response, it would not benefit us in ANY wayWe are here to stay, so our reputation means everything to us.We understand that our business may frighten some homeowners (because of all of the dishonest scammers out there), so that's why we give the option to do work on homes BEFORE we accept any moneyThat alone is enough to prove that we are ABSOLUTELY not a scamWe also welcome and encourage our homeowners to come to our office and meet our team membersLastly, we do have references and could even go as far as asking insurance adjusters to verify their great working relationships with our companyWe absolutely do not force (or forge) our customers to work with usAgain, we wouldn't profit from doing so.We did what any reputable company would do, and we cancelled the *** contract free and clear, even though we have a cancellation clause in our contract.I will be attaching the contract in another response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to [redacted] and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. I have read ARI's message and do not agree. Whatever document ARI has with our so called signatures on it, we have never seen or signed. Those are not my nor my husband signatures, and we are willing to prove that!! And we have no knowledge of this phone call that ARI claims is recorded. If there is such a call recorded, let's compare it to my husbands voice since they say it it my husband who called. ARI should send you copies of this document with the forged signatures and my husband and I are willing to send in proof these are not our signatures. Again what is this recording they say they have, speak to my husband and listen to the recording...it is not him! We don't understand why ARI is doing this to us.

When the [redacted]equested their contract be terminated, ARI complied immediately with no further discussion or contact BEFORE Revdex.com was ever involved. ARI has received NO money, provided NO service, and are not in contract with the [redacted]. ARI did not forge any signatures.In saying that, we called our salesman again to get clarification on this issue. He said that [redacted] is the man living in the house. He claimed to be the [redacted] son-in-law who is in transition of buying the home. [redacted] wanted a roof replacement, called "the dad", who I'm assuming is [redacted] to get permission, the dad verbally approved, so they went on to sign the contract. Our salesman did not forge anyone's signature. He wouldn't have even known which insurance company to file a claim with if he did not have an inside source tell him.The claim and contract should not have been handled in the way that it was. It goes against our company's policy. The claim should NOT have been called in by [redacted] (though he apparently had verbal consent, that's still not how we run our business). We do apologize for this inconvenience, and our salesman has been dealt with.Frankly, we're thankful that this contract was cancelled and that the homeowner notified us. It was a learning lesson for the salesman, and we're thankful that we didn't give the [redacted] a free roof (which would have happened). Had we not been notified, we would have built the roof, the funds would have been sent directly to the [redacted], and since the contract was invalid, they could have kept the money leaving us thousands of dollars in the negative. This stupid mistake on our salesman's part would have really only had an affect on us.We can assure you, that this will not be happening again.
[redacted] did visit the [redacted] home at least 2 times, however the claims of forgery and filing a claim without knowledge of the homeowner are absurd and fabricated. The [redacted]'s knowingly and willingly signed any documents, and knowingly and willingly made a phone call to open the insurance claim....
An addition to the singing of documents, [redacted] made a phone call into the insurance call-center, and the call was recorded. Neither [redacted] voice or signature appears on any part of the [redacted]'s insurance claim. An insurance claim cannot be filed by anyone other than the homeowner.Claims by [redacted] that information was unknowingly obtained by [redacted] is false and misleading, and intended to slander Mr. Lawson and ARI. It is ridiculous to assert that ARI randomly "obtained" information from the [redacted]'s. The [redacted]'s provides the information themselves.The [redacted]'s insurance company is not "looking into" ARI. ARI has had zero incidences or claims of fraud, forgery, or scam. Be advised that any supposed "insurance representative" who claims ARI has been involved in a scam would be placing themselves in jeopardy of a lawsuit for slander, and subject to termination by their employer. ARI is a recognized vendor with several insurance companies, and has a perfect record of service and compliance with all major insurance companies. Upon request ARI can provide references and contacts of agents, adjusters, and supervisors from every major insurance company throughout treasure valley.The [redacted]'s claims are malicious, fabricated, and absurd. ARI categorically denies any and all accusations by the [redacted]'s. Further false accusations and slander against ARI may require legal action.-ARI
As we have previously stated, [redacted] is in the process of a lawsuit with ARI. This fact alone is not grounds for a complaint against our business.All of the patio work that was completed by ARI’s subcontractor was done AFTER [redacted] had supposedly finished their work. They “finished” the patio with non matching colors which the homeowner was not satisfied with. We had to have our subcontractor remove and replace all that was unsatisfactory.The engineering plans [redacted] is referring to were not included in the original insurance documents that I have previously attached. That being said, the money that the Hollenbecks paid to [redacted] for any additional work was supposed to go towards all pre-approved work on the insurance documents. Any additional work that was paid to [redacted] came directly out of the funds for the rest of the insurance estimate. ARI is not responsible for recouping those funds from the insurance company, because we did not do work outside of the original scope. Our services were already pre-approved and funds were paid to the homeowner by the insurance company.[redacted] should have requested any additional funds through the insurance company in order to make his house up to current code, and pay [redacted] with the money allotted for that specific work; not the money that was already assigned to go elsewhere.ARI did submit the proper paperwork to the insurance company. The insurance company released ALL funds to the homeowner for work that was pre-approved and in the itemized insurance documents. The homeowners paid [redacted] more than was allotted in those insurance documents.ARI is not billing [redacted] for the entire amount on the insurance documents ($30,659.70) as you can plainly see in our invoice to the insured. We want to get paid for the work that we completed.At the basis of this complaint and issue is that [redacted] grossly overpaid one company and did not pay ARI for the services rendered by ARI.Again, ARI is not billing the Hollenbecks for work we did not complete. We do deserve to get paid for the services that we provided and have detailed documentation for. It is not our responsibility to try and recover funds that were errantly paid to another company as they do not work for us. The homeowner signed a contract with ARI and is therefore responsible to pay ARI for the work that we performed.As for [redacted]’s claim that we billed them for an erroneous amount of $30,000, look on the documents provided from the insurance company. ARI billed StateFarm for the amount of $30,659.70. We billed them this amount so they would release all pre-approved funds to the homeowner. All pre-approved work had been completed, so we sent in a Certificate of Completion along with an invoice for completed services. It was up to the homeowner to disperse those funds properly, which he did not.ARI is only trying to recover money for the work that we performed. Filing a complaint with the Revdex.com is this homeowner’s way of trying to defer payment to ARI for the services that were rendered and billed to [redacted] by ARI. Also, claiming that ARI has done this in the past is not only false and unnecessary slander, but irrelevant to this issue.

[redacted]
I have attached all of the documentation for this case.The first document attached if for [redacted]. This company was contracted by [redacted] himself before ARI was involved with this roof. Attached is the invoice sent from [redacted] to [redacted] for a total of $13,721. [redacted] paid them a whopping $24,623.72 for unfinished and unsatisfactory work. [redacted] began their work on the rear patio portions of this roof BEFORE ARI had begun any work on the home. This company was responsible for removing the gutters and caused all of the damage to the rear of the dwelling.Second, I have attached [redacted] invoice. This company WAS contracted by ARI to do work to the front patio of [redacted]'s dwelling. Upon entering the job site, they quickly learned that the rear patio did not match the dwelling, and that the gutters were ripped out of the facia, resulting in a need of replacement. I have attached the bills that we paid to them as a subcontractor of ARI. Their bills totaled $2036 ($500-to remove non matching work done by [redacted]+ $1536-to correctly install the front patio).Third, I have attached the bill from the gutter work that ARI subcontracted out to fix [redacted]s gutter problems on the rear of the house totaling $811.Fourth, there is a detailed list of work needed to be done from the insurance company, which specifically outlines what they were willing to pay for each particular portion of the house. This itemized list was given to the homeowner directly from the insurance company, so the insured knew exactly what the insurance company was going to pay. ARI was also given a copy of these documents so we knew what we needed to pay our subcontractors for each specific job. Page 2 contains the amount that insurance company was willing to pay which totaled $31,159.70. On page 3, you can see that the insurance company has allotted $10,647.57 for ROOFING work only, not Patio. Page 3 shows money allotted to ALL patio work, front AND back @ $19,743.00.Fifth, I have attached a copy of our invoice statement sent to the insurance company.Sixth, I have attached the itemized invoice that we sent to the homeowner for work that ARI completed dated 1/28/2015 for the amount of $14,035.32 (-$5,535.98 which [redacted] originally paid to ARI). To clear up any confusion, there are differences between our subcontractors’ invoices and ours to the Hollenbecks. We do run a business, so if we charged customers our cost, there would be no profit in this for us.By completing simple math based on the insurance documents, ARI was contracted for and completed the work for Roofing the house ($10647.57), plus patio replacement done improperly by [redacted] ($2,436.00), Plus gutter replacement ($822.00), Plus a building permit required by the city of Eagle, Idaho ($129.75) for a grand total of $14035.32 for work being completed by ARI. This number is far off of the $5,535.98 that we have been paid so far by [redacted].Because this matter is in the process of a lawsuit between [redacted] and ARI, we feel that a complaint with the Revdex.com is unwarranted as the only reason for the complaint is that the homeowner does not wish to pay ARI the money that it is owed.
It's unclear what resolution the [redacted] are seeking from their complaint. The [redacted] question of “why ARI is doing this to us" is impossible to answer. ARI has not engaged the [redacted] in any way. When the [redacted] requested their contract be terminated, ARI complied immediately with no further discussion or contact. ARI has received no money, provided no service, and nothing profitable has been gained by the [redacted] false accusations.In this business, we have to be picky about our customers. We have built many roofs before collecting a dime from homeowners, so if we cannot trust them, then we chance losing money. To explain a little further on how our business works, we have homeowners call in claims, we then help them get their roofs fully financed through their insurance companies (homeowners are responsible for their deductibles), the insurance companies make checks out to the HOMEOWNERS (NOT ARI), we may or may not have them sign it over to us before we start work, we build their roofs, make sure the homeowners are happy, and then we proceed with payments and collecting full replacement costs.We have assisted over 600 insured homeowners in receiving compensation for storm damage, and having their roofs replaced. We have received zero reports or claims of fraud. Insurance checks are always dispersed to the insured homeowners, so it would make no sense for us to forge a signature, engage in fraud, or openly impersonate or deceive any homeowner and their insurance company, because it is illegal, unethical, and absolutely unprofitable.Again, forgery would not benefit us in any way. Insurance companies do not put us as the main payee on checks, so forging signatures would NOT be profitable. In saying that, it would be pointless and i
tic for us to forge signatures.The [redacted] have not been compromised in any way by ARI, and their contract has been terminated. The [redacted] insistence on pursuing this matter are of their own making. ARI did not forge the [redacted] signature. ARI did not open the [redacted] insurance claim. ARI did not receive any money, or perform any service.
