Promised to come back in future to pick up torn screens and have repaired but never did so even after multiple phone calls. Did not put in any roof venting on the ridges. When we demanded that they come back to install proper ridge vents the owner came to our home and insisted that the vents had been installed. My husband demanded he come up into the garage attic to visually see that there had not been any cuts made into the roof that should have been evident if ridge vents were present. Owner agreed finally after over an hour of denial that they did not do the proper job. Did a horrible job pretending to caulk around flashing on fireplace which left gaping openings in the flashing so that a winter rain storm leaked into our Master bedroom and caused the whole fireplace wall to become saturated with water, ruining all the dry wall and the wallpaper as well as the causing the tray ceiling in that half of the bedroom to collapse into the room and rain soaked 1/2 the carpet of our room, which is 16 x 20. Denied that they caused any of that problem. We had to hire another roofer (who came with glowing recommendations) to come and take a look. He took photographs of the lack of ridge venting and the holes in the flashing around the fireplace to prove the incompetence of Perfect Choice. He stood on our roof and called down thru the openings to me in the master bedroom and asked if our room was wallpapered yellow, which it was. He could see the walls through the holes that had been left in the roof by Perfect Choice-we have photos to document all of this. At this point we had roofer #2 come in and repair all the mistakes that had been made and he took care of the problems. We contacted Perfect Choice and asked for a refund for the job they DIDN'T do on our roof and they refused.

The process of noticing the damage and suing them took a full year and a lot of money. We URGE you not to use Messing Construction for any construction project, but particularly for your roof. Messing violated Bloomington city code by a) not getting a permit; and b) not installing ice and water shield (despite the fact that the contract called for such installation). But more importantly, Messing Construction acted in bad faith with a complete lack of professionalism. We initially appealed to the Illinois Attorney General and were unsuccessful in settling our claim. We hired an attorney in the summer of 2012. Here is what we wrote to the Attorney General: and quot;In October, 2008, we contracted with Messing Construction to put a new roof on our home. We had a number of problems with Messing’s representatives during the construction process, including lack of communication and delayed progress on the project. After the roof was completed in November, 2008, we had a number of leaks. The first time we called Messing to alert them of the leaks, they came out to put caulk above the master bathroom. The second time we noticed leaks, this time in the living room, they claimed no responsibility. In May, 2012, we invited a realtor to our home to consult with us about putting the house on the market. He was the one to notice the current problems with our roof. Three and a half years after installation, our roof has a number of very obvious warps and bows. These warps and bows are in the same part of the roof where Messing replaced plywood. When we contacted Michael Messing, president of Messing Construction, he first told us that the problem was that the boards on the roof were too thin. When that proved to be incorrect (a Messing representative tore off a few shingles to find that they were indeed not too thin), Mr. Messing claimed—and put in writing—that the problem was due to improper ventilation. We have since had four separate licensed roofers to our home to inspect the roof and they have each told us that improper ventilation is not the issue. We have been told by four separate licensed roofers that the problems with the roof include (but are not limited to): 1. Damaged wood that was not replaced during construction (this, despite the fact that we gave Messing the go-ahead to replace any damaged wood). In 2008, we were not informed that wood other than the six sheets we paid for needed to be replaced. 2. Wood sheets that are not nailed down properly. 3. Roof shingles that are not nailed down properly. 4. The original sheeting has no H-clips between the rafters, causing the sheets to separate from one another. 5. The chimney is flashed improperly and the siding is loose around the chimney where it was loosened to install new roof flashings. According to one expert, “there should have been flash-rite corner flashings installed on the two corners of the chimney to ensure no leaks were going to happen and it did not get installed.” 6. The roof has no ice and snow shield coverage on back eves, which is a Bloomington city code violation. (Here we reference Section 25 of Public Act 91-2023, which states that “Any person engaged in the business of home repair and remodeling shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the operation of the business public liability and property damage insurance…in the amount of $10,000 per occurrence for improper home repair or remodeling not in conformance with applicable State, county, or municipal building codes.”) 7. There is no felt paper on the roof. Underneath the shingles is bare plywood. Mr. Messing has refused to honor the contract we signed in October, 2008, which included a five-year workmanship warranty.and quot; Messing will give you nothing but grief: lies, excuses, and poor workmanship--and then refuse to make good on their five-year workmanship warranty. They will cost you more money, time, and infuriation than any roof is worth.

FAQs for roof ice and snow removal projects in Lincoln, IL
Generally, snow removal from a roof should occur once over six inches of snow accumulates, especially if you notice that ice dams have formed. Without ice dams, you can let the snow accumulation hit 12 inches before removing it. However, the amount of snow that is too much for your roof also depends on the sturdiness of your roof and the compactness of the snow. If your roof needs maintenance or has structural issues, it’s best not to let the snow accumulate too much for fear of collapsing.
While it is possible to remove snow from your roof without a professional, we don’t recommend it. Accessing your roof can be a dangerous task; pair that with slippery ice and snow that can be heavy to move, and you have a very risky problem on your hands. This dangerous situation becomes more high-risk when there’s a snowstorm or your roof has a steep pitch. To ensure that everyone stays safe, be sure to call a roof snow removal specialist to complete this job with the proper tools and equipment.
While removing every snowflake from your roof is unnecessary, you should remove a significant buildup of snow. Since snow is wet and heavy, it can easily cause damage to your roof, which can lead to needing costly repairs.
Additionally, when the snow melts but has nowhere to go and refreezes, it can create an ice dam, causing mold concerns due to water leaking into your attic and ceiling. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a snow removal professional to clear heavy snowfall from your roof as soon as possible.
Yes, some homeowners insurance policies cover roof damage caused by snow. However, these full or partial payouts can vary depending on the age of your roof and other related factors, like the overall condition it was in before the snowfall. It’s best to check with your specific homeowners insurance policy to determine snow damage coverage and exclusions.
The cost of removing snow from a roof averages between $300 and $700. However, this cost can range from $200 to $3,000, depending on the size of your roof, the amount of snow, and roof accessibility.
Since snowfall can range from light powder to heavy and condensed snow, part of the price of roof snow removal depends on the amount and type of snow. For 12 inches of snow, you can expect to pay between $200 and $2,000 for this job. However, for 24 inches of snow, that price rises to $300 to $3,000.
