I've been in cahoots with Lexington Blue for over a year and have waited to write a review in hopes that they will make things right and actually finish their job. At this point, they've stopped returning emails to us and the people we've worked with have blocked our cell phone numbers, so the only thing I CAN do is write a review. I hope it deters others from hiring this embarrassment of a company.
A storm ripped through our neighborhood in July of 2023, and a few days later, Daniel Liponi, a Lexington Blue sales representative came knocking on my door. He offered a free inspection to see if there was any storm damage, and lo and behold, he found some! We submitted the paperwork he filled out to insurance and got our insurance to approve the job for a specific amount. Lexington Blue asked for us to pay 50% of the cost up front, so we got the check from insurance, and did so quickly. By the end of July, we had chosen the color of our shingles, signed all contracts, and they had THOUSANDS of dollars from us. Daniel told us we would have a new roof in 6-8 weeks, and we would get about a week's notice before.
8 weeks later, we'd not heard from Daniel. My husband called and left voicemails, and texted him several times with no reply. I did as well. This went on for months - October, November, and December. After reading the fine print on our contract, we realized that our contract was about to expire, so my husband called at the in January and said that we wanted our money back so we could take our business elsewhere. What do you know, but the scheduler called us back that day and booked us for the next week - on January 31st. At this point, we were 6 months post our initial encounter with Lexington Blue, and they had been sitting on THOUSANDS of dollars for about 5 months. I also would like to add that there's a clause in the contract that stops us from writing any negative reviews until several months after the contract has been signed - and they scheduled the roof install for just before we could've written anything.
Installation day came and they showed up early and stayed in the dark to finish. When they were done, the supervisor tried to get my husband to sign off on the job, but he respectfully asked for him to come back the next day in the daylight to walk the property and show him everything so he could ensure it was done properly. We also received a text from Daniel asking us to leave him a 5 star review on Google. This was the last contact we had with him, and not for lack of trying.
The supervisor did come back the next day, and while walking the property, my husband noticed some issues, including no drip edge installed on the back of the house, trim pieces installed in the wrong spot, a vent fan improperly placed that was making a lot of racket, and the fact that they had dropped nails on and ripped our brand new $700 hot tub cover. My husband refused to sign the contract that the job had been finished, and asked for them to come back and add a drip edge and fix the vent fan. Again, the process of them ghosting us started. The supervisor didn't reply to my husband, Daniel Liponi didn't reply to him either. I finally called Kamron, the guy who scheduled the job for us, and got through. He said he was going to send someone over to fix the things that were incomplete, but they weren't going to give us any credit back for the ripped hot tub cover. At this point it had been over a month since the initial install.
When Kamron sent over a team to install the drip edge and fix the vent fan, they were not informed on what they were supposed to be doing, and unfortunately spoke no English. While I have no issue with a crew that doesn't speak English, it should be on Lexington Blue to communicate with them, not us. My husband stood in our driveway for 20 minutes on Google translate trying to tell them what needed to be fixed, and while they were able to fix the vent fan, they were not given the supplies to fix the drip edge or trim that was placed improperly. So they did what they could and left.
After contacting Kamron and Daniel multiple times to try to get our drip edge installed, a different supervisor was sent over to look at it. This older gentleman was very nice and said he would send a crew back to fix it. Unfortunately, that has not happened, despite us calling multiple times and trying to get that scheduled. Nobody ever shows up.Lexington Blue had the audacity to send us an invoice despite the job not being done and us having never signed off on it. The invoice send was for $3,000 higher than our initial contract, and showed no credit for the $700 hot tub cover they ruined.
My husband has tried multiple times to get a hold of them since the invoice came in, and so have I. We've called, texted, and emailed to no avail. At this point we are at a stalemate, and I have no idea what needs to happen for this job to get done.
If Lexington Blue comes knocking on your door, I recommend declining. read more
