DO NOT HIRE TONY GLIDDEN!!!!
I have a rental property that needs a new roof and siding. I contacted him for a quote and he, at first, seemed professional. His contract was pretty detailed as well. My total cost for the job was $29,450. $12,200 for the roof and $17,250 for the siding. I gave him $11,000 to get started so he could purchase all the material, schedule the dumpster, etc... He was scheduled to start on Monday, June 28th. We were set to meet at 8am at my property. He showed up 2 hours late. He had no intentions of starting the job and did not even have my material. I asked him why he wasn't starting and he said he was too hot. (The high that day was 87 degrees) He then proceeded to cancel on me, many more times. It was either weather or his crew was tied up with other jobs. (mind you, I have written confirmation, that his other jobs had finished and he was freed-up to begin mine) The excuses continued with: weather, car accident and more jobs... you get the picture. When he finally showed up to my property, he still had no crew, no dumpster, and no material. He scraped a patch of shingles off my roof and then said he needed to get tarps. (it's a sunny day) I asked him where the dumpster was and his crew... His response was, he ordered the dumpster but they were backed up. So I called Gregory's Disposal and they said Tony did not schedule a dumpster for my property. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. At this point, I fire him and tell him I want a refund. He literally laughs and says, "No Refunds". I had to pay someone else to come and repair the exposed area on my roof. I start asking around about him and it seems that this is his M. O. He is a scam... He purposely under-bids to get the job, collects money and never does any work. I found out he was arrested for scamming an 84 year old woman out of $25k and I also found out he is a degenerate gambler and has even called people I know to borrow money. Also, be wary of any positive reviews... I highly doubt they are legit. I have now hired a lawyer and I am looking into having a class-action lawsuit against him, with everyone he has stolen money from.
STAY AWAY FROM MAINELY ROOFING AND SIDING!!! RUN!!! read more
