Business ProfileforHippo Roofing, LLC

Company: Hippo Roofing, LLC Date of transaction: 10-23-23 Amount: $23,469.20 Product: New ************** Hippo advertised 100% financing through P.A.C.E. program with a company named Fortify. The program was advertised on their website, as well as radio advertisements at multiple times per day for Hippo (on radio station **** "the Beach"). THIS FINANCING OPTION DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST. They also advertised a "complimentary" wind mitigation report.On 12/27/23, Hippo advised that Fortify "refused to release the funds" for the project and that we needed to get alternate financing asap or pay in full asap. We later discovered our county entered Resolution No. ****** on 8/2/22 terminating the **** Program specifically for single family residential properties; and (more importantly) in 8/2022, the *********************** notified contractors via certified mail of the resolution giving the contractors 90 days notice of the termination.On 1/15/24, I told Hippo Roofing, LLC of our discovery(ies) and asked for a discount due to their false & misleading tactics and deceptive advertising. I also advised we had no choice but to dip into our retirement accounts to pay the invoice and needed time to access the funds. On 1/18/24, I provided the owner, ***************************, a copy of the ******************* to contractors by the county office, & a screenshot of their Blog falsely advertising the **** program. ********************** emailed response refusing a discount.On 1/26/24, ********************** emailed he would put a lien against the house. On same date, we paid the invoice in full from our retirement accounts -- BOTH of which will result in NEGATIVE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO US. TO DATE, Hippo Roofing, LLC is STILL advertising the **** program as a viable 100% financing option, and still has the Blog on their website dedicated to this program as a financing option knowing that is not, in fact, a financing option. They also never gave us the wind mitigation report.
