Get matched with top vinyl siding cleaning pros in Bunker Hill, IN

"On March 18, 2021, a hailstorm hit my roof. I was not aware of this damage until someone suggested that I have it inspected. I contacted my insurance company who sent out an adjuster who contracts with them. This adjuster works in the state of Indiana and was familiar with the regulations in the area. The adjuster inspected the roof and determined that replacement was required. He put together an estimate based on normally used pricing guidelines for roof replacement in the area. After obtaining several contractor quotes, I selected EADS Roofing to do the roof replacement. EADS accepted the estimate from the adjuster, and I signed a contract for that amount plus some skylight repairs and an upgrade to the shingle quality. I was told that EADS would not change the price without issuing a Change Order. In their contract was a clause which did allow them to adjust the price to conform to local regulations. Since the adjuster was familiar with Indiana regulations, I did not see this as an issue. The contract stated that the gutter screens on my buildings would be removed and reinstalled. Funding was included in the contract for this. EADS also told me that they would repair any damage caused by their roofers, though some damage to landscaping was to be expected. I signed the contract with EADS on August 17, 2021. EADS also asked me to sign a release for them to represent me to my insurance company. I declined to sign this release as the insurance company was paying me directly for the claim. Only one Change Order was ever written. This order reduced the contract cost because I had a separate contractor remove and reinstall the lightning protection system on my house. Work began on the roof on September 9, 2021, and was completed September 10, 2021. While the work was going on, I observed the roofers bending the gutter screens out of the way instead of removing them as was in the contract. Upon completion of the work, I noticed that the gutter screens were bent out of place and the bottom edge of the shingles were wavy as a result. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the screens were so mangled that they would not function properly. I contacted EADS and they agreed that the screens would have to be replaced. They told me they would have to check on material and labor availability and get back to me when repairs could be made. I called EADS almost weekly after that. First, I was told labor was not available, then materials were not available, then no response or “I’ll check and get back to you”. In early March 2022, I finally got the EADS Production Manager to come to look at the house. His solution was to go back to the insurance company to see if they would fund the repairs. After some delay, EADS sent a revised estimate to my insurance company on April 5, 2022 (but not to me). When I got the revision from my insurer, I found that EADS had not requested a supplement for the gutter screens, but had rewritten the entire contract, raising the total cost by 69%. I did not see that they sent any written explanation for the increase. By now, the spring tree blossoms were starting to fall. Since I have a lot of trees around my house, gutter screens are essential to keep the gutters working. On May 5, 2022, I told EADS they would not have to repair the gutter screens and to send me a final invoice for the work that was done. I promptly contacted another contractor who replaced my gutter screens within a week at a cost that was 23% of what was in the EADS revised cost. I continued to call EADS weekly to ask them to send a final invoice. After I told my insurer that I was not letting EADS repair the gutter screens, the insurer refused the revised estimate from EADS. EADS then sent another revised cost claiming math errors on the first revision. This second cost showed a 38% increase over the original contract. My insurer negotiated with EADS and got them to agree to remove the costs for the gutter screen work that was not performed. The insurer then approved the cost revision and reimbursed me for the difference. On June 24, 2022, I received a final invoice and work completion notice from EADS. This amounted to a 16% increase over the original contract (which had included the work not performed and the shingle upgrade). EADS has sent me a receipt of my payment."

"Had windows put in. The service was great- work was done well and the windows are very attractive, all messes were cleaned up. Rich has come back to check on the work to be sure it was done well and now have given me a quote for needed gutters and downspouts, gutter guards, and a side door. Highly recommend the company from front end to back end."

"Initially it started off very well. We wanted a large pond put in that was not an eye sore and would serve our livestock. I wish there was a little more guidance and recommendations as we don't know the ins and outs of pond building. Initial test holes were dug which confirmed the project was possible and would hold water. There was no communication with the well installation team to ensure appropriate water flow into the pond. Once that was figured out the pond only holds about 1/3 of water with a well running 24/7. Reached back out to Alec see if we could troubleshoot the issue and get it fixed. Informed Alec that we were more than happy to pay more but just wanted a finished product. We planned a date and now haven't heard from him in over 1 month. Multiple texts and phone calls with no response. The communication is the most frustrating part about this whole project. Would not use this contractor again even though the big expensive hole in the ground we have is "pretty"."
