Not sure why, but Yelp offered me another chance to review this business - so I'm taking it. I'm going to copy/paste the last review I gave because it's still true and it appears (based on newer reviews) that Alex continues to do sub-standard work.
He has also created other Yelp profiles in an attempt to evade the consequences of the negative reviews that keep piling up. As you'll see below, there is lots of effort put into avoiding consequences rather than actually dealing with the problems that Alex's sub-standard work creates.
Here's my last review with some edits for clarity:
Caveat emptor. Alex was hired to fix a flat roof that didn't drain. He quoted, was the lowest price (red flag missed), and we paid a deposit and agreed to a start date. That date came & went and we had to call and text before we got a reply with an excuse (2nd red flag missed). This was the first of many, many text/call attempts. Most were not returned. Those that were returned had lots of excuses (got a new phone, sickness, etc.). In the end, there was much more effort put into offering excuses than doing work or solving problems.
Eventually, Alex's crew came out to do the work. They said they were finished about a week later than they promised when they showed up (more excuses and reasons instead of performance). Alex requested payment of the balance that day. I took a hose up on the roof to test their work and it still didn't drain. I sent Alex a video and he said he would come out to fix it. The next time it rained, the roof leaked. It had not leaked before - only didn't drain. So Alex's company left the roof worse than it was when they started.
The next few months were full of many promises to fix the roof, but nothing changed. Alex eventually said it needed a drain installed and we agreed, hoping that was the answer. Now there's an ugly PVC pipe sticking out of the front of the house and the roof still leaks. Alex has stopped responding at all. The leak has caused $1,000s of damage to insulation, drywall, and left 1/2 the garage unusable.
I hope this is a caution - it's a roll of the dice if you hire Spartan roofing. read more
