Bad Roof Job and Empty Promise - Buyer Beware
I was renovating a property that had a main house and a guest house. There were a number of construction workers performing work on the property and Norton Construction was part of the working crew. I hired Jeremy Norton from Norton Construction to repair the existing roofs on 2 structures and to add a new roof to an addition on the main house. When all the work was done, I placed the home on the market, an interested buyer had the usual inspections done on the property. A home inspector, plumbing inspector, and roof inspector evaluated the property. The home inspector and the roof inspector evaluated the roofs on the 2 structures, and to my shock, the roofs were basically condemned by both inspectors. My Real Estate agent also had another roofing company, as a 3rd opinion, evaluate the roofs and the 3rd company had the same result came back in the report. I informed Jeremy of the results of the reports. To his credit, Jeremy did offer to come back and work on the roofs again, but the buyer had so little confidence based on the quality of work performed from the inspection reports that the buyers stated they would walk away from the deal unless I hired another contractor to fix the roofs correctly. I informed Jeremy that I had to purchase a new roof for both structures with another company due to lack of confidence from the buyers. I told Jeremy how disappointed I was with his work. Jeremy stated he would repay me back half of the money I paid him (half because he disagreed with the reports and argued that he should have been allowed to make repairs). To make a longer story short, I would NOT recommend Jeremy Norton or Norton Construction do any work in the future due to a sever lack of quality in his work and ethics. In addition, he has prolonged and avoided paying any amount back and I have given up on his promise.
I would give ZERO stars, but the lowest rating is a ONE star read more
