Warning: Beware of Nationwide Exteriors/Nationwide Roofing
Home owners considering services from Nationwide Exteriors or Nationwide Roofing (same company) are urged to proceed with extreme caution. On the day this review was published Nationwide had a revoked BBB accreditation and a D- rating due to consistent failures to respond to inquiries via text, email, and calls.
Beyond Frustration:
While unresponsive communication is certainly troubling, the true cause for alarm lies in the quality of their work. Recent concerns from our roof project have emerged regarding the company's roofing practices, including:
A. Concerns about Roof Integrity, (the following is our SHORT list):
1. Installation of Shingles With Inconsistent Wind Speed Ratings:
We found shingles with varying wind speed ratings, Owens Corning Duration, rated 130 mph were installed on our roof field and Owens Corning Supreme, rated 60 mph installed on the roof ridge. How do we know, by reviewing the pictures we took of the manufacturer's packaging marked Duration and Supreme. The lower wind speed rating reduces the wind resistance of the entire roof and compromises the overall roof's stability. Check what's being delivered to you by making sure roofing products are compatible with each other within the same brand ie. GAF, Owens Corning or Certainteed on their website. If the brand being delivered isn't one of the three just mentioned then the quality is likely in the low economy range. Now get this; Nationwide's first attempt to deliver shingles was branded Tamko. These were not listed on the contract and quickly turned away.
2. Potentially voiding warranties:
We found Owens Corning Ridge vents and Atlas ridge vents installed on our roof. Mixing products from different manufacturers can invalidate individual warranties, leaving you unprotected. This is because one manufacturer will not cover another manufacturer's product. Make sure they use compatible products from reputable brands like GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed. How, by checking the manufacturer's recommendations on their website.
3. Installation issues:
Manufactures recommend starter shingles be placed 1/4" to 1/2" from the roof edge for optimal performance. Ours did not meet that recommendation.
B. Silence Speaks Volumes:
Despite repeated attempts to address these concerns, neither Jonathan Anthony Dorosh, owner, phone 888 560 5777 nor Mike Jones, project manager, have responded. Yet, Nationwide has already contacted our insurance company for additional funding. This raises serious questions about their priorities and commitment to quality work.
C. Protect Yourself and Others By Spreading the Word:
Share this information with friends, family, and neighbors to protect others from potentially shoddy work and unresponsive communication.
D. Additionally, their failure to deliver on contractual agreements and questionable practices raises concerns about their reliability and commitment. Don't hesitate to seek legal counsel or inquire to the District Attorney (I don't know when fraud is committed but the DA does).
Remember I'm not a lawyer and the aforementioned is not legal advice but I am the guy who had to bring in another roofing company to correct issues created by Nationwide Exteriors/Nationwide Roofing. read more
