There are always 2 sides to…read moreevery dispute, and I certainly recognize that some of you may have had a positive experience with this service provider. But now, following a lawsuit and a judgment in my favor, posting the facts and honest review here is neither slanderous or libelous. BEWARE of the handyman ELGEMBERTH CARERA CONTRERAS, d/b/a ACMC HOME IMPROVEMENTS LLC. ACMC Home Improvements Llc. In a rush to complete a project before moving into a gatehouse which was to function as an office, I hired Alex, probably without the necessary due diligence to seal up a small section roof, and some minor interior sheet rock repairs. The entire office space was approx. 200sq/ft. I posted my inquiry here on NextDoor as well as Facebook. Clearly requiring that the provider is to be fully licensed and insured. Alex responded with a reasonable hourly rate and most importantly, was able to start the following week after we both did a detailed survey of the space and project specifics. Although I have a lot of building and construction experience, I recently had surgery which prevented me from doing a lot of the work myself. But I know exactly what work would entail and the supplies needed. The project should have taken 2 full days to complete. First problem occurred on day 1: Showed up without the insurance certificate as promised. He then informed me that he did not have the necessary tools or materials, so he needed to go to Home Depot to "pick up a few things" (on the clock of course). Then... He asked for my credit card to buy the supplies. I specifically asked... "don't you have a contractors account with Home Depot " ??? His answer was yes, but his credit line was "tied up". (Red Flag). OK.. so, I gave him my credit card, fully expecting that the needed materials should cost between $60... to $90 MAX. Alex returned with a receipt for over $360... This was a tiny space. needed one 8x4 pc of sheetrock, and some roof flashing material, and a small bat of fiberglass insulation. As a handyman...you would expect one to have the basic tools... he had to buy trowels, tape and other hardware that everyone should (and does) have in their toolbox, and he even bought a 25lb bucket of spackle..... to do one piece of sheetrock. A quart container would have sufficed and enough insulation for 10x the size space. Starting on Wednesday, I figured one day on the roof, one day, Thursday finishing the interior. Well Friday came around, now there were 2 guys which were being paid hourly. I checked in several times in the am.. and they were literally still working on one section of sheetrock. I have seen a two-man crew do entire floor of rough drywall. They had to do ONE PIECE. Day 3 saw no proper cleanup, even after milking the hourly rate till late afternoon. Finally got rid of them. Less than 3 weeks afterwards, during the first substantial rain (this was late August, early September) Leaking roof. Damage to interior furnishings, electronics, and rugs. No response to texts and calls... I would have put a claim into his insurance, but he refused to provide documentation. So, I sued. Now, even after receiving a judgment, he is not paying, so I guess I will have to spend more time and aggravation filing with the Marshal Service to exercise collection. Point of this long and boring story......there are many...many handymen out there. Perhaps do a better job of due diligence. make sure project scope and costs are clearly defined. My opinion is: find another company. Even had he satisfactorily completed in 2 days, I have 40+ years' experience with the trades, and I've watched him work, and he really is not a skilled tradesman. Careful if you have to pay hourly....and pay for his materials and tools. Anyone needs proof of any of this, feel free to DM.

This company installed a top of the line Owens Corning roof in October of 2024. There have been…read moreproblems ever since. I never had any issues with my old roof in the 18 years that I lived here.They told me they were the only ones in the area who could offer the platinum warranty. They, however, did not follow the rules of attic ventilation... never even entered my attic to calculate it. They also installed a ridge vent on a 2/12 slope roof, another reason that my roof warranty is now void. They have no interest in fixing the situation and leave it up to me the home owner to research possible solutions. They then constantly change the date of repair putting new jobs ahead while my attic fills with heat, condensation, and mold. My dormer has a useless ridge vent that can cause leaks and is sucking out my heat and air conditioning causing my utility bills to double. As other reviews below have stated, the owner becomes extremely defensive and nasty and will not follow through on fixing his mistakes, which is causing a lot more damage to my home other than the roof. The owner would rather argue back and forth waiting for his two year contract to come to an end instead of stepping up and doing the right thing. He sold me a warranty that my 1964 house could not meet in criteria without major remodeling. I paid over and above to have this top warranty because he sold himself as a top installer. Since 2024 he has been removed as a platinum installer by Owens Corning, which is very concerning. He now pushes the GAF product that he talked down in 2024 as being subpar. He also stalled on filing my warranty in 2024 and almost missed the 60 day window. I had to keep calling in oder for the company to file it. How many people don't follow up and now have no warranty? Currently mine is voided because he didn't follow ventilation criteria and also didn't consider my home structure. He continues to argue back and forth wasting precious time as winter approaches. Because of the lack of ventilation my roof shingles are baking, my utility bills unaffordable, and my home structure getting ruined daily. Believe the negative reviews below. Disrespect runs wild at the company towards their high paying customers who they want to be accepting of subpar work. The way they speak to paying customers is truly unbelievable... There is no professionalism and they live for the day instead of thinking of maintaining reputation... which is how one stays in business longterm. Because of the seriousness of this issue causing my home to rot from the inside and bake the shingles from the outside, I have to seek legal counsel. And the company is well aware that they own the roof until December 2026 and that I cannot have anyone else in to fix prior because Owens Cornings makes the contractor liable for the first two years. What kind of company does that? Instead of coming out and taking the ridge vent off and opening the soffits, they purposely make sure that I can't move forward. But they will be held legally to the massive damage to my roof structure and any mold inside the dormer. Owens Corning has strict ventilation rules and Home Pro never stepped foot into my attic until a few weeks ago. Now they just want new jobs and don't want to allow a day to fix my issue so I won't have problems this winter. Going back and forth with them has taken time away from my family. They can't give up one day to do a fix ... they would rather cause stress and just keep taking on new jobs. The money they will lose on reputation and legal fees won't be worth it in the end. It seems illogical. This company does not stand by their work or warranty. With the many contractors out there, don't choose this one. Believe the negative reviews you read. Go with a company that will readily rectify any error and respects the investment you made in your home.
