Due to hail damage in April we contacted Affordable for an estimate to replace the roofs on our house and garage. We needed gutters and a metal awning over our back patio. Jim Workman came to our house gave us an estimate that was in line with the insurance estimate so we signed a contract in July. We agreed to pay half the cost at the signing with the balance due upon completion. It is November 25th and we are still waiting for completion. The roofs were replaced in July. They did a good job. The crew showed up on time and completed both roofs in two days. They were neat and efficient we did have to call Jim about some materials left the last day laying in our yard which was gone the next day. After the roofs were completed we were told the sub-contractor for the gutters was not available then we were told the awning wasn't available. Now we can't get Jim to return our phone calls. We are very disappointed and now we have to wait until spring to find someone to do our gutters.
Description of Work: We had a new roof put on our house and garage.

THIS ''GENTLEMAN'' CAME BY TO DO AN ESTIMATE. WAS SUPPOSED TO COME BACK ONE WEEK LATER AND JUST DID NOT BOTHER TO SHOW UP. I TRIED CALLING NUMEROUS TIMES THAT DAY AS WELL AS THE DAYS FOLLOWING AND HE AVOIDED MY PHONE CALLS. DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!

THE ONLY WORK DONE BY JIM WAS DONE INCORRECTLY. (WE HAD TO FIX THE ONLY WORK THAT HE ACTUALLY COMPLETED BY REPOSITIONING ALUMINUM FENCE POSTS OURSELVES.) HE SEEMED LIKE A VERY NICE GUY TO BEGIN WITH, AND HE CAME TO OUR HOUSE TO TALK OVER PLANS IMMEDIATELY UPON INITIALLY CONTACTING HIM. DON'T BE FOOLED. NOW HE CANNOT BE CONTACTED AND OWES US MONEY. HE HAS CAUSED US MANY, MANY HOURS OF OUR TIME LOOKING INTO COURT INFORMATION, FILING COMPLAINTS, TAKING TIME OFF WORK, ETC. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. DON'T USE HIM!
Description of Work: JIM WORKMAN (THE OWNER OF AFFORDABLE EXTERIORS/AFFORDABLE CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING) WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BUILT A WOODEN PRIVACY FENCE AND INSTALL AN ALUMINUM FENCE AROUND OUR POOL AREA IN BACKYARD. WAS GIVEN DOWN PAYMENT OF $1527. DID $150 WORTH OF THE WORK. STOPPED CALLING US/WOULDN'T RETURN PHONE CALLS TO US. CANNOT GET A HOLD OF HIM. WE FINALLY, AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS AT CONTACT, SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER, SIGNED FOR BY "WORKMAN," REQUESTING MONEY BACK. NEVER GOT THE MONEY BACK OWED TO US OR THE JOB COMPLETED BY HIM. WENT TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT TODAY AND GOT A JUDGEMENT AGAINST HIM FOR THE FULL AMOUNT PLUS EXPENSES. (HE DID NOT SHOW UP AT COURT.) WE HAVE FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB ALSO. CHECK THEM OUT. WE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON HIS COMPANY.
