Beds N More

Review: [redacted] (the owner) came to my house, told me he would repair my leaking porche roofs for $4,000 + the cost of any decking he had to replace; he was also going to put up some siding. His website said he guaranteed his work, I asked for how long, he said he guaranteed the work one (1) year. He did the work as promised and he charged me $4,500; and I am almost positive he replaced only 1-2 sheets of decking. That apparent over-charge was admittedly my fault for not clarifying. I was very happy with the appearance of the work so I disregarded my error in negotiating the price of decking and didn’t say anything about it. I paid [redacted] $4,500 and I left for Afghanistan. I came back 9 months later to find my soffit falling down, water pouring out of my soffit, water by-passing the gutters and running down the fascia, and the siding was cracking and shifting. I took photos of all of this damage and had them notarized to prove that the damage began within one year. I also noticed the paint on the interior walls adjacent to the roof had paint starting to peal from water damage. I have called [redacted], emailed him, sent a registered letter to his house, and tried to contact his company on Craigslist (where he advertised in the past). He has not contacted me at all. I have seen his truck driving around town, I know he hasn’t moved.Desired Settlement: Fix my roof

Review: It took 6 weeks for this business to install a new roof on my house this past summer. I never could get a hold of the owner of the business as he never answers his phone. He ended up sub letting the work to another contractor. Then this fall, the roof started to leak in my bedroom upstairs. Tried to get a hold of the owner again with no luck, so I called the man that did the sublet for this business, but he was in [redacted]. I ended up having a contractor that I know and trust, [redacted], come over and take a look to see what was happening. He ended up sealing the area around the chimney, and that leak seems to have stopped. I paid him $135.00 for time and materials.

Now that we have had some snow, I have developed two more leaks. One of them is in my kitchen, the other is in my downstairs bathroom. My roof NEVER leaked there before this work was done, and I consider the work shoddy at best. Naturally, I tried to get a hold of the business owner, with no luck. I really am at my wits end as I have paid $4000.00 for a new roof that leaks, and am not very happy about it.Desired Settlement: I would like this roof fixed, whether I have to get another contractor to do it. I can't keep worrying about where the roof will leak next, it is very stressful.

Review: I hired Mr. [redacted] to repair my chimney in July 2010. I paid him on 7-19-10 (check #[redacted]). In March 2011 pieces of cement started falling off the chimney, and onto my back patio. I called Mr. [redacted] and he came over and looked at my chimney and said he would return soon after to repair it again so pieces were not falling off. He did not return even after I called him numerous times. He would not return a phone call to me nor did he come back and make an attempt to make more repairs to my chimney.

Desired Settlement: $600.00
