M. Giarrusso Roofing & Siding LLC

On  May 2, 2014 we hired Michael Giarrusso (d/b/a M. Giarrusso Roofing & Siding LLC) to put on a new roof and replace 28 windows in our home. Mr.Giarrusso stated he was licensed in NJ and Delaware. We have photos of his work trailer stating he is licensed and insured.  He did not start our roof for about 2 weeks claiming rain and finally did the back half of the roof.  He was claiming he would complete the front but did not, informing us that he although he put in for permits, they were not granted by Woolwich Township because he did not have a NJ Home Improvement Contractor license.  He asked for more time to reapply for his license, he brought in friends to try to get permits under their license(none had a valid license) and even in an email asked us to pull the permits for him.  We would not do this and therefore our roof has been left incomplete.  He cannot complete the roof without the license or permits and is being fined by our township(letter enclosed).  We were told by our township that he did not need a permit for windows.  We allowed him to start the window project. He put in 3 windows and were very displeased with Mr.Giarrusso?s shoddy work.  He cut and damaged 2 of the 3 J-channels and did not inform us of this.  He did no caulking on the exterior or interior.
  
We informed Mr.Giarrusso that we will not have him continue to do work for us because he has no license and is not seeming to seek renewal of his NJ license.  Shortly prior to informing him, he provided an ACORD insurance certificate that provided an alternate business address of 5 Florence Lane Penns Grove, NJ 08069.  He continues to try to use friend?s licenses and then operate as subcontractor.  His lack of license and permit also makes any warranty that could come with his work invalid.
He has been issued a fine and summons by the Township of Woolwich, NJ
