So my mom hired this "contractor" because he was "family" and I am super busy. Now I've had to go threaten him with legal action for being in breach of his own contract. Had her without a roof since April 3 and finally I had to go scare him into installing it on May 10. To top it off when I went looking for him he hid inside his parents house until I said I was going straight to KRGV 5, is when he came out. (It hasn't been raining that long that he could not have finished the job in a timely manner.) He said he had insurance and has yet to give us proof. Because of his negligence and taking too long on this job, my mom now has damages inside from not having a roof on and well obviously it's been raining. So this contractor has the audacity to text my mom that he needs payment or he's going to seek legal action against her.
Mind you he did not install a full roofing system, left the existing rusting drip edge, installed an ASTM 60mph shingle in a hurricane coastal area, etc etc. It has been more than a subpar job. I have asked for a credit of the material he did not install, as he was hired to install a new roofing system.
I'm posting this because real contractors will not ask you for money upfront and will gladly provide you with insurance as we do on all our jobs. So please beware of scammers like this guy that pretend to be a contractor.
I'm not saying anything bad other than the truth that is accompanied by pictures. read more
