Took me awhile to write this due to the experience being so awful I have a hard time talking about it. The man in charge, Renee did not honor his estimate. I called him 2-3 weeks after the 1st contractor got sick and Renee seemed little upset that I had not gone w him in the 1st place and knew I was under a strict deadline from home owners association, so he raised the price 1200. I had no time to find another contractor. I have never seen a contractor that would not honor his estimate if it is accepted within 30 days.
He brought the contract to my home, asked for 1/2 in cash upfront even though I had already supplied the materials. I said no. Once they got on the roof, everything became a nitpicks with exaggerated costs. $80 EACH in labor costs simply to lay plywood sheets. After I complained, he said, "ok I do $40 but I have to rewrite contract w no warranty because your not going to do what I say".
He provided a certificate of insurance but I called there and they said, "He may not have a license. You can have business ins without a license" and I searched WI Credential Holder Inquiry website and neither his business nor his name appear.
He also liked to days off and quit early. He would come down and talk about how he was a man of faith and talk about the good deeds he has done for people and then go up to find another problem to charge me for. Then wink at me from the roof saying, "I take care of you". He laid my underlayment in the rain. My husband was standing under the awning & overheard him say "5000 not enough!! 5000 not enough!! Anybody w truck like that has money!!". So his bill was nearly 8000 in cash for a tear off on a small 864sq ft single story home w simple design and he eliminated my warranty. Then he had audacity to show up to get final cash payment in a new white truck. I will say however, that his son is a hard worker and cleaned everything up. It is Renee that deceives you w his pleasantries which are really nothing more than a way to hook you & then drive up costs with nitpicky, exaggerated & manufactured claims to inflate costs on your roof.
