At the beginning of May 2025, I scheduled six appointments with roofing companies for estimates. Three companies gave me a higher estimate, and two gave me a lower estimate. Although I do not believe Diamond Ridge provides the highest quality materials and service, I came to an agreement with Project Manager, Marcelo, for a total of $25,000.00. Employees showed up at my home on a Saturday to begin the work. I must say that all the workers were excellent, I have no complaints about them. The Project Manager, Regional Project Manager and a person who described himself as the right-hand man of the owner, were different. Their main concern was telling me about how great they were. The workers removed the roof and to everyone's surprise the roof did not have plywood, something that should have been discovered during the inspection process. At the point my roof was off, so I was stuck with agreeing to an additional $7,600.00 increase, something that I was not prepared to spend. There is no reason for an estimate to be $7,600.00 higher than agreed. The company ordered the plywood and by five o'clock the plywood was installed on the roof. Marcelo indicated that they would be back on Monday to continue the work. As soon as they left, my wife and I noticed that the weather app was showing chances of rain for the next day. We figured they were professionals and should know better. Sure enough, Sunday morning we woke up to a rain forest inside my home. Leaks in the bathroom, garage, heater, and a big one in the dining room. There were inches of water inside my home. I called Marcelo and within a couple of hours his crew came to tarp 80% of the roof. They did not tarp the garage and sure enough, later that day more rain came making a bigger mess inside the garage. On Monday when the work resumed my wife insisted on having someone look at the attic because she did not want any mold to develop later. One of the company's employees checked the attic and took a video for review. Looking back, we should have ordered an independent assessment of the attic. According to their assessment the only damage was in the dining area. They ended up replacing a 4' by 8' sheetrock, texturing the area and painting. I was not happy with the job. I informed Marcelo that I was not pleased with the job his company did in trying to repair the dining room ceiling area. Marcelo stated they would hire an independent company to repair the area. I was told by the Regional Project Manager that they were going to hire an independent company, and they were not going to go with the highest bid but somewhere in the middle. Again, looking back I should have hired my own company to fix the issues caused by the rain. In the meantime, the work on the roof was completed. I had to call Marcelo back to fix a portion of the roof that was not finished properly. Again, a professional company should have noticed the problem. When the work was completed, Marcelo wanted to charge an additional $1,000.00 for additional wood that was used on the roof. I told him I was not paying anymore and that they should consider themselves lucky, that I did not seek legal advice/action regarding the issues caused by the rain, not to mention the stress we endured. The company they hired to do the job, ended up re-doing the entire ceiling and painting it. It was a good effort but unfortunately not to my satisfaction. There were no follow ups from anyone regarding the work that was done. My son and I spent several weeks cleaning debris that was left behind. We spent one entire day cleaning the garage and another day putting back decoration lights that were removed from the side of the house and not put back. Unfortunately, it was not over, on January 28, 2026, I received a letter from the Law Offices of Mark A. Kirkorsky, stating that the company that provided the supplies had retained their services for non-payment and that I was named as a person involved. The invoice mailed was for $7,568.39. I immediately called Marcelo and after several attempts, he finally answered the phone. I told him about the letter; he told me that he would contact their accounting office, and he wanted me to text him a photo of the letter and invoice, which I did. I waited the rest of the day for an acknowledgement from Marcelo that he had received my text. The following day I waited all day and still no acknowledgement. At around 5:00 pm, I texted Marcelo asking him if he had received my text. His response started with the words "Like I told you yesterday". I am 62 years old, not five years old. All I was looking for was an acknowledgement not a lecture. In summary Diamond Ridge was too expensve, their estimate was way off, their attention to detal was poor.. read more
