Unprofessional.
Greedy.
Dishonest.
I contacted Sean with Mike Lopez Roofing for an estimate to re-roof a home in Santa Fe after finding his company in the Santa Fe Reporter "Best Of 2025".
His estimate was high, and he promised he would repair a section of the roof and return to replace the entire roof (of which I paid a deposit of $9,500) in September.
He did not notify me or my tenants before his September start date, showed up at the house while my tenants were travelling abroad and was upset.
Sean does not possess professional communication skills, which is mandatory when you own a business and your clients are paying top dollar for contractual construction work.
After no communication from Sean for 3 months, my tenants sent me an urgent message on December 15 - to let me know part of the roof caved in.
Sean began the roof project (without my knowledge) during my busiest time of year and things were not go smoothly.
HE DID NOT PULL A PERMIT WITH THE CITY OF SANTA FE, which is his company's contractual obligation and expense.
This led to a delay with the completion, and a complete disaster.
The furnace went out in the house, as the roofing crew reinstalled the exhaust incorrectly, triggering the safety shutoff.
On December 23, Sean began harassing me to pay the final invoice, and said he was leaving on vacation.
I told him I would be able to review the invoice and pay him after the holidays, as I was extremely busy at work.
He continued to call, text and threaten me for days.
On January 6, Sean finally sent the receipts and pictures I requested from the job. I told him I would call him later in the day with my credit card number.
Within a couple of hours, he accused me of "blocking" him and he had his attorney call me. I phoned Sean within a few minutes with my credit card information, as a person of my word.
Not cool, not trusting, bad character, and unprofessional. read more
