  We had a portion of our flat roof replaced by Expert Roofing in July 2021. We started to experience a leak from this roof inside our home in July 2023. I called and their crew came out to my home on 7/24/2023. They made a small patch in one spot but the leak has continued to get worse. I went up on my roof on 8/20/2023 and there is a pool of water sitting up there. There is no drainage to the downspout, it is completely dry by the downspout. The roof they installed was not pitched right and is now leaking into our home because it is holding a lot of water at all times. I called back on 8/21/2023 to try and get a hold of someone, and they took my name and number and said someone would call back. I emailed through the Expert Roofing website on 8/30/2023. I called again and left a message on 9/8/2023 and 9/25/2023. No one is calling me back. This roof has a 5 year warranty on it and needs to be fully replaced and pitched correctly so it drains. The insulation and drywall ceiling needs to be replaced as well as it is now damaged from their faulty install. I also have mold growing on the inside of my home where the leak is coming through. The ceiling drywall is bowing/caving in and water is dripping down the inside of the wall in multiple spots. This is our bedroom and our belongings inside risk damage every day. We paid $13,725 for this roof and we are not getting a response to our inquiries and they are not honoring the 5 year warranty listed in the contract.

  We have reached out to the customer as well as visited the property to address the areas of concern. After further inspection we have decided as a company to address the problem areas and are in the process of scheduling these repairs.

  Roofing project started early July and shingles were done but Flashing was bent with a 2x4 stud not a brake, it looked terrible. They said they would be back the next week to finish but nobody showed up. I called my sales man for a month and no answer. After 1 1/2 months I called the office and they said they we be out the next week, nobody showed. I final told them I was going to fire them and they should ** in 1 week. They started on the soffits and facia while I was out of town in early November . When I return home and saw what looked like very inexperienced people performed the work. I called again and said that the job looks terrible and they said they would send a project manager out to assess. He showed up a couple of days later and I told them about the flashing on chimneys were bent with a 2x4 stud and was going to leak. The soffits also looked horrible. The crew leader was surprised and discussed with the craftsmanship and said that they would replace soffits, facia and flashing. He did say they sent a crew out that is not experienced in soffit and fascia and that they would send an experienced crew out to repair all of it. They did show ** in Mid November and the flashing and soffits looked a lot better, you could tell a huge difference and I was happy with them. I asked them about the repair of the flashing and other shingling errors and gutters and they said they would be out soon to fix. They did say that they were extremely busy. They showed back up in mid December to instal gutters and they also looked good but I again asked them about the chimney flash, shingling errors and the electrical live wire between the sheathing and my drywall that the didnt hook up to my skylights. My salesperson told me that I would have to tear the drywall down to hook them up, I said that was stupid. They did say they would be out to do all repairs but unfortunately it was too late, the flashing failed around both chimneys and damage was done to kitchen drywall. I called them and they came out and after they saw the damaged drywall they went on the roof and then said nothing was wrong and they were not got to touch it. I went on the roof to look and they added more sloppy caulk to the flashing. I called my insurance company and told him what they said and he said go hire someone to fix it. I did hire someone to fix the flashing and shingling errors and they said the flashing ****** were not cleaned out and should have had a to grove cut so it seated properly. They also said that the ice and weather shield was not properly installed and was all wet with rotten sheathing and they used roofing nails on the flashing to attach to the block chimney. The cost to repair the flashing and the other errors was $10,439.06. I am also in the process of hiring a drywall company to repair kitchen and clean any mold if present.I emailed expert roofing the repair costs and I just got a bill today says that I am late on my final bill.I am just asking them to take off what had to be fixed and what was damaged.I have additional documentation and videos of all repairs but have not included them.Please help me solve this dispute.Thanks,***************************

  We came to the property to help assist the homeowner in getting the exterior paid for through storm related funds. We met with the homeowners home insurance claims representative and worked on getting the insurance company to pay for the work - which we ultimately did.  We work off the approved amounts from the insurance company. All work was done based on those approval amounts. 

  The roofing portion of the job was completed fairly quickly. The trim/ soffit/ fascia work - which was additional work outside of the approved amounts from the insurance company was completed at a later date. The customer did not like how some of the work looked and we did come back and redo it at no cost to him. The homeowners chimney was deteriorating, pictures were taken and shown to him. The chimney work we were not contracted to do as we do not rebuild chimney's. The leak was caused from his deterioration of his chimney and therefore interior leaks happened. We have completed all of our work and have build him accordingly. The customer is asking for a 10K + credit which was the cost to Rebuild a chimney - again something we were not contracted to do. We have already stated that there would be no credits given for the work he chose to do outside of our contracted scope. At this time the homeowner is choosing to use this issue as a reason not to pay ** for the work which we did complete.

  I am rejecting this response because:  Their statements are untrue, they never completed the job and promised to fix the chimney flashing as seen in text message.  The price that I am asking to deduct is the reflashing of both chimneys and shingling errors as seen in other photos sent along with the complaint.  They never came back to repair any flashing and repair shingles that hung over edge of the roof. 
  

  I am not trying to get out of paying anyone!  I had no choice but to replace the flashing because that is what has failed and they refused to replace it even though they texted me saying they were going to replace it.  I have documents and photos/ videos of the new flashing going on.  I also have statements from contractors saying that the flashing was done incorrectly and should have never been bent with a 2x4 wood stud.  My roof never leaked before they did my roof. They also left a live electrical wire that is still i between the sheathing and drywall that could cause a fire. 

   

  I have given expert roofing every right to cure but they declined.
  
  Sincerely,

  Per our signed agreement - we are not licensed electricians (paragraph 4 on attachment) and therefore would have never completed any electrical work.

  The flashing was done per code. We asked the homeowner to provide pictures and estimates which he said he received in regards to the "flashings" as we have videos showing that not only did we do the flashings but they were completed in a workmanlike fashion. Furthermore the homeowner refused to have ** on the property to look at these additional "flashing issues" and as of today has still never sent ** proof that the leaks were from the so called flashings verses the chimney which was deteriorated (as seen in the previous photos sent).  We were notified on Jan 4, 2023 when we called the homeowner that he had to have work done on his chimney by another contractor at which time we asked for the "video" of the repairs which he claimed to have. The homeowner responded he would "speak with his attorney and go from there." We have patiently waited to see the videos, etc since he would not allow ** to come back to the property. We have been more than willing and able to handle any issues if they were in fact ours, however to reiterate that his chimney was crumbling and our contract did not call to rebuild a contract. We build him for the work we were contracted to do and as of today he has refused to pay his bill.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  So you say you not licensed electricians but you unhooked my old wiring to my old skylights and just left them between the sheathing to start a fire! 
  

  The flashing was bent with a 2x4 wood stud.  Is that something a building inspector would agree on? 
  

  I hire another contractor to fix your chimney flashing errors that you clearly text me that you were going to fix, you can lie on that one. 
  

  I have LICENSED contractors saying that the flashing was done incorrectly.  Your crew didnt even grind a new joint and left all the old caulk in the old joint as seen in the photo documents. 
  

  I did as you to repair and cure but you declined.  I had no other choice but to hire another contractor to repair per my insurance company advice.  I have also sent you photos and estimates.

  Expert put on a new roof looks excellent from afar, but avoided adequately correcting the multiple installation errors they made. Although the roof looked shiny and new from the ground, when I got up on the roof myself to see their work after they completed, I found numerous mistakes. There were shortcuts and workmanship errors in just about every aspect of their work: the flashing, gutter apron, fascia, torn shingles, and missing ice and water shield around vents. These are things most homeowners are not getting up on their roof to see nor would they know what to look for - but these mistakes increase the likelihood of leaks and future damages. I asked about these issues right away, but was told quality control would be out to inspect it. A month later my roof leaked. They finally came out and attempted a quick fix, but the roof leaked several more times. It was extremely challenging getting them to schedule to come out for repairs and when they did, they never fully addressed the workmanship issues. About 5 months in, when they insisted they had fixed everything I contacted one of their materials representatives who agreed to inspect their work and pointed out that they had skipped 3 different steps. After nearly a full year of trying to work with them to complete the job, they stopped replying to me and failed to follow through on anything they said they would do. After a full year of no contact from anyone at Expert, they sent me a request for full final payment. I was advised by an attorney that it would cost nearly half that amount in legal fees just to challenge them, and that these fees could not be recovered even with a verdict against the roofing company. Dont blindly trust their assertions that the job was done right. Inspect their work yourself or get a 3rd party who knows what to look for. Know that you have very limited legal recourse to hold them accountable if they do not live up to their promises.

  I am sorry you did not have a good experience. Not only did we replace the roof you chose to be too busy for us to do the interior work which is why it took months to complete the work from the beginning. Once you finally returned our calls for payment you negotiated the bill to owe a smaller amount and not have us complete any interior work. We credited your account as you asked. We have not only replaced your roof twice but you have had ***********. Again we have tried to work with you in regards to your issues as well as giving you credits for items we did not agree with but to make you satisfied.

  I am rejecting this response because several statements the business has made in their response are irrefutably false. Each disputed claim is listed as follows along with my account of the facts. I have also uploaded documents that prove they are not being honest in their response. I have more documents to upload as proof if necessary. I challenge Expert Roofing to provide any evidence to support their assertions.
  you chose to be too busy for us to do the interior work which is why it took months to complete the work from the beginning. Expert told me their interior guy to come on 4/26/2021. I confirmed that would work but he never came. On 5/3/2021 I texted my project manager asking for an update, but didnt get a response. On 5/5/2021 I texted again asking for an update, and I was told Id hear by the end of the day with an update. On 5/10/2021 I asked for another update and was told they said they were working on it. On 5/11/2021 I asked if this would be done in May, June, or July, and never received an answer. On 6/7/2021 the interior guy came for an estimate. On 7/13 the interior guy asked out of the blue to come the next day, but I was not available, and asked for between 7/26 and 7/27. On 7/27 interior guy called to schedule, I told him I was available 7/27 through 7/30, and that the full week of 8/9 was the last week of availability before my work schedule becomes hectic. On 7/28/2021 I asked if he would be coming or not, and he said he would let me know on 7/29. On 8/19/21 he reached out to schedule, and I offered 10/22-10/24 ad well as 11/22-11/24, and got no response. On 10/26/2021 the interior guy texted out of the blue asking to schedule for 11/22. I asked him and Expert if they even intended to do the work since they had blown me off for so many months. One 10/28/2021I texted my project manager at Expert and I asked if it would be better to go our separate ways and Id use the remaining $11k balance to do the work myself. I did not receive a response or any other communication from Expert until 11/9/2022 when I was emailed from the office about scheduling interior repairs.
  Once you finally returned our calls for payment - Expert did not attempt any form of communication with me since my last text message to them on October 28, 2021 (when I asked to end the contract and use remaining balance to contract repairs myself) until November 15, 2022 when Expert sent an email request for the full remaining balance  I did not receive a response or any other communication from Expert until 11/9/2022 when I was asked about scheduling interior repairs. I replied immediately that I was under the impression that Expert had abandoned my project and the rest was up to me. On 11/15/2022 I received the same email request and sent the same reply. Later on 11/15 I received another email letter demanding $11k, with no plan to address their mistakes or offer any compensation for damages.
  you negotiated the bill to owe a smaller amount and not have us complete any interior work. We credited your account as you asked. In an effort to be as fair as possible I attempted to itemized deductions with categories for Property Damage, Customer Provided ******************** Materials for Repair, and Customer ***** (as calculated by the ** ****** of ***** Statistics states the average hourly wage of IL roofers of $30.47). Instead of the $5,022.79 I requested, I was offered an arbitrary $2500 and told if I dont accept the offer and get them a check for the remaining balance within 8 business days or I would face litigation.
  We have not only replaced your roof twice but you have had ***********. Expert has actually had to send someone out 5 times to repair their mistakes, but they always covered up the errors rather than fix them. They never replaced my roof twice, but they tried to make it look like they did by placing new shingles on top of ice and water shield, which was on top of the edge vents that were on top of a starter shingle. I still have active leaks in heavy rain.
  Expert has failed to uphold professional standards or ensure a leak-free roof is installed. They have also engaged in manipulative and dishonest practices which merit a downgrade of their rating from the Better Business Bureau.

  Again the interior work was never part of the contract but was due to a leak that we tried to fix to no avail. The homeowner met us and ************ contractor near the end of 2022 where he (******************) made it very clear he was never planning on using us, let alone due the actual work. Our contractor gave a price to do the work which we were going to pay but the homeowner took the number given and used that as a base point to start his negotiations of how much money he would need to off his bill. The funds to do the work on his property were the funds given through his insurance company. We gave him the requested credits along with credits for "his time." ****** does not make you a roofer however regardless of what we have done to assist this homeowner he continues to play games which is why we gave him the credits he has asked for in an effort to move on. We last inspected the property at the end of 2022 per the clients request and everything looked great and no issues were found. There is nothing else that needs to be completed as the client agreed to credits for him to do interior work ( which was never on the contract) with another company at some other time.  We are sorry you feel a certain way, but we have done the work per the contract and then some.

  I am again rejecting this response because several statements the business has made in their response are once again indisputably inaccurate, grossly misleading, and contradictory. Each disputed claim is listed as follows along with my account of the facts. In addition to previously uploaded documents that prove they are not being honest in their response, I have more documents to upload as proof if necessary. I challenge Expert Roofing to provide any evidence to support their assertions.
  (1) the interior work was never part of the contract - the need for interior work arose exactly 20 days after Expert replaced my roof. Their shoddy work and poor craftsmanship led to an opportunity for water intrusion through the inadequately flashed connection of the flat roof to the brick. 
  (2) due to a leak that we tried to fix to no avail - Expert in this statement clearly admits that they have not fully fixed the leak that they caused in their inadequate attempts to patch their installation mistakes.
  (3) homeowner met us and ************ contractor near the end of 2022 where he (******************) made it very clear he was never planning on using us - this is a misleading statement because it entirely ignores the previously identified period of time between 4/26/2021 and 10/28/2021 where I was working with Expert and the interior contractor to come do the work but they failed to make any appointment or agreed upon time. It also conveniently ignores the period between my last message to Expert on 10/28/2021 and the next time I received any communication from Expert on 11/9/2022 - more than 12 full months of silence from Expert.
  (4) used that as a base point to start his negotiations of how much money he would need to off his bill - I started my negotiations by offering to allow Expert to walk away from the contract and leave me responsible for the repairs on 10/28/2021 in exchange for the $11,438.04 remaining on my $20,285.96 invoice. When I received the request for the full balance a full year later I reminded Expert of my previous offer. When I was told that wasnt possible and was asked by the ** of the company for an itemized counter offer, to which I provided the $5,022.79 total. 
  (5) ****** does not make you a roofer - Expert is implying that I am an uninformed customer complaining without merit. Though most untrained eyes can look at the photos I provided of their work can see they have made errors, I had a trained roofing professional come out to inspect their work. Their very own materials representative came out to my house on April 20, 2021 (the regional representative from *******) who pointed out the half dozen steps they skipped when incorrectly installing the attic vents and shared with Expert. Notably, this is after 4 visits from the warranty crew and Experts head of quality controls assurances that they had fixed all of their mistakes. So again, despite Experts claim here, they are aware of the report they were given from an independent certified roofer who pointed out all their mistakes.
  (6) We last inspected the property at the end of 2022 per the client's request and everything looked great and no issues were found - Just as I described in my above response, Expert has claimed everything looked great before and yet an independent, trained roofer inspected their work and pointed out numerous errors. There is no proof that they correctly installed the missing ice and water shield. There is at least one hole in a shingle from a popped nail from their latest attempt at a repair. And the ancient gutter apron on the garage was covered up with new aluminum to hide the fact that they never repaired and replaced it as required by the contract.
  The business response is further indication of their lack of professionalism and honesty. Expert has continued to fail to uphold professional standards or ensure a leak-free roof is installed. They have also engaged in manipulative and dishonest practices which merit a downgrade of their rating from the Better Business Bureau.

They showed up the following week with a crew of 3. I told them I was going on vacation and that I would be back in a week and a half. I returned and inspected the job and it looked like amateurs did the soffit and facia. I have icicles and water leaking in my basement due to not having gutters for the last 3 months!!! At this point I need to look for another contractor to complete this nightmare of a job!!

  Business response

  The homeowner entered into a contract with Expert Roofing to work off the insurance estimate. The insurance estimate increased due to supplements - code items as well as items missed on the original scope.

  We completed all the work on the contract/ insurance estimate. The h/o called to let us know that he was not happy with the front window wrap as he stated that it was not completed. We sent our crew back to complete the window wrap. Once the work was completed we reached out looking for final payment. The client would not respond to our calls/ emails. Finally, the h.o stated that he was going to put the payment in the mail, which he never did instead he sent us a letter asking for the items which were added to the claim which made the **** increase. We sent an outline via email explaining the additional items which the insurance agreed to pay for. This was not any additional items that the h/o would need to pay for out of pocket as the insurance company covered the cost. At this time the h.o has refused to pay the balance and therefore we had an attorney to get the additional funds. As stated previously we work off the insurance estimate and all funds, less the h/o deductible are covered by their carrier.

  As stated to the homeowner multiple times

  We work off the insurance estimate

  Supplements were additional items which were approved by the insurance company for work which we did (such as permits, ladder jacks, items missed on the original scope)

  We have made calls to discuss this and sent emails breaking down all the numbers.

  As far as the windows they were never part of the contract. Window wraps were and we completed them. The homeowner did not like how some looked so we sent a crew back to redo.

  Since all of our work has been completed and the homeowner has refused to pay we unfortunately have had to take legal action.

  Expert Roofing replaced my roof July 2021. Leading up to the job, they refused to give me a written estimate of work, saying that I had my insurance estimate. They were not doing all the work in insurance estimate and went back to my insurance company for 'Supplements' work that they refused to give me detail on. On day of job I paid them all but $1000 of what allstate estimate was, due to not still having a detailed accounting of work done and some work left unfinished. I was promised a final invoice within 5 to 10 days..nothing..then 75 days later get a invoice with no detail saying I owe $1253 immediately. Due to math error, they revised it the following week to $853. Still no detail for a line item called "supplements" for $3500+. Despite multiple requests for detail before I will pay it, they still refuse to provide and say will turn me over for collection on Oct 15. A credit for work left unfinished is not adequate as well, but refuse to complete job or give adequate credit

  Business response

  The homeowner signed a contract with Expert Roofing to complete work on her property per her insurance estimate knowing that the dollar amount would changed due to supplements - the homeowner signed off on this.

  We completed the work, supplemented the insurance carrier for items missed on the original estimate. We invoiced the homeowner for the work which was completed. We installed a new skylight, upon doing the install of the skylight some of the drywall was damaged on the inside. This is common, and typically we would complete and invoice the insurance company for the additional work. The homeowner did not want us to do the additional work, so we instead gave her a $250.00 which she agreed to. She now is refusing to pay her balance on the account, and has been sending threatening emails stating we are taking advantage of her based on her age. Not only did we do all the work, we went above and beyond cleaning around her fireplace, per her request (again something outside the scope of work). We sent her the ****, have emailed her to go over the items and she refused to pay. Since no response from the homeowner, we sent her a collection letter letting her know that the account would be turned over to our attorney as she is refusing to pay. As of today, she has not paid her ****. The account has since been turned over to our attorney, as she has withheld final payment.

  I am rejecting this response because: what this business is starting in their response is not true.  I was not informed about what the supplemental costs were other than a skylight unit. Original insurance estimate already had a flashing kit replacement. Expert is asking me to pay an additional $3000 besides the skylight but refuses to say what it is for.  Allstate also confirmed that their estimate included finishing the interior trimwork but expert refused to do that work and said they would give a $200 credit  NOT $250. I told them it was not enough and the work to be done is 20 feet from ground floor, which requires an insured and bonded contractor to cone out. It will cost at least $350 to $400 for house call and work materials and labor.  I agreed to no such credit offered yet. Expert did not clean my fireplace.  It's a gas fireplace with a vent on the roof. Expert refused to give me an itemized estimate or invoice to this date. Every authority I have talked to says this is unacceptable and to not pay any more to expert until they do so and can confirm work was done per insurance estimate quality and to code specifications. Expert refuses to do so and not discussed with me any details of work completed.  Expert also lied about city inspector signing off.  City confirmed no inspection was ever done on job.
  
  Sincerely,

  The homeowner signed off on the contract, which states that the job cost would change based on supplements. We work off the insurance estimate, which was not only sent to us, but also her. The insurance company never paid for any interior work nor did we do any. She had some interior damage from a skylight replacement - which she agreed to a ****** credit. Again, something not paid for by the carrier. If we were to do the work, we would have sent that invoice to the carrier and been re-imbursed for as she did not want us doing any other work. 

  We have tried to talk to her, but she has been rude and nasty in all correspondence. She has never reached out and called the office to discuss, instead she sends nasty emails and since, we have decided to stop responding. She is in breach of contract. Therefore we have had no choice but to take legal action. Unfortunately, in doing so, the homeowner has voided her warranty. We have tried to explain everything to her as requested, but she refuses to listen.
