Review: J & J Construction replaced the roof on my one story house in [redacted], after hurricane Ike. In [redacted], I noticed a ceiling leak in a spare bedroom. Since it only leaked when it rained, I ruled out a pipe leak. I contacted my insurance to send an adjuster. The adjuster stated that the roof leak was not caused by wind damage so they couldnt cover it. Upon further inspection the adjuster noticed, in several areas throughout the roof, the minimum number of nails was not used for each shingle and the minimum amount of tar was not used for each shingle. Following is an excerpt insurance adjuster: [redacted]: During my inspection, I observed water damage and mold on the ceiling and wall of a bedroom. Above this area, there was rot to the framing of the home under the roof and caulking where the roof meets the home. There was wear and tear to the roof in the form of nails coming up from the shingles and vents. I also observed several areas around the roof where there was only one nail in the shingle and little to no tar on the shingles. I left several messages to the owner of J & J Construction after the adjuster finished her assessment. He contacted me two days later. He finally showed up at my home, in the middle of [redacted], two weeks after our initial contact. He took a bucket of tar on the roof, applied it and was done within 30 minutes. He stated this should take care of it. I decided not to get the ceiling repaired until I knew for sure it was fixed. Needless to say, when the next thunderstorm arrived the ceiling was leaking again. From [redacted] through [redacted], I have left phone messages, sent text messages and even photos of the damage but to no avail. Another ceiling leak started two weeks ago in my kitchen. I am also concerned with the amount of mold which may be building up in my home as a result of the roof leaks because this creates a health hazard for my family. Today is [redacted], and the owner still has not contacted me.Desired Settlement: I would like the entire roof to be replaced. Inadequate material was used to replace my roof in [redacted] and now I have to deal with the results of poor workmanship. Another leak can turn up at any time. J & J Construction states: Our work is guaranteed from leaks for 10 years. This is taken directly from the invoice I received.
