"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."

"DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN! We initially hired Scott after he responded to an on line local group. He was kind, sincere and met my husband at our home to review contract. His prices were 1/3 of the competitors. The Job was for electrical work in our new home was over 8,000. He seamed eager to be of assistance. Though he we hired him for odd jobs at our existing home while our new house was being built by the Amish, he was usually late and seemed plagued with excuses of health issues or family trouble that kept him from completing a project in a timely manner. But in the end, he came through with those small jobs. When the new house was ready for electrical work back in mid June, he was at the house daily. He had a small crew of teenage sons and a friend at times. Work was slow but he plugged along. We liked his sincerity, his down to earth spirit, so we hired him for the plumbing job as well. He continued to be attentive and aimed to please us, though work was slow. We then hired him for other jobs in the home that he said he could easily get done. From approx June to Aug,, Scott was down here approx 5 days a week. He had a couple health episode, a son's legal problem, a stalled vehicle of his and his son that kept him from coming to property at times but we were very understanding. It just gets worse from here. Many projects, were poorly done. Scott failed to cap off simple T drains and many of our household items, including family heirlooms , we were storing in the basement of the new home were covered in grey water from the toilet. Although we cleaned them some heirlooms, others had to be trashed. He was slow to fix the problem and we had further leaks from his plumbing job. He bought our AC /heat pump and furnace from a scratch and dent dealer in Lebanon with no warranty. Unbeknownst to us. He asked for money for duct work, that we provided to him and never got it. He would ask for money to purchase materials and never produce the items. He seemed to have a of days where he had to show up for child support court. and sometime at the end of August, he claimed his bank account was frozen by the courts and he was unable to produce items we had already paid him to purchase. He then began not answering calls, not showing up, It became a daily game of asking him if he was coming, him telling us that he would be there at a certain time and never showing. In the last 3 weeks we have seen him at the house approx 5 times. And he stayed for approx 1 -2 hours. The last straw was after 4 days of not answering calls and not showing up, he showed up an hour late, and as soon as I had left to run and errand, he left right behind me, not to answer the phone at all. We offered to help him in gas money to get down to Rockville from New Richmond, pay extra adult crew members just to get the house moving His reponse was always that he was going thru a hardship and we are his first priority. And that he WAS going to get us done. His last message to me was a cryptic complaint that he didn't like it that we doubted his abilities after pointing out some serious concerns in his work. The current state of our house? We have no duct work, we have 20% of electrical not done. A bathroom not done, Insulation gaps in the ceiling, railing that has been purchased but not done. a furnace and AC unit with no warrantly and it is coming into late September. We fronted him on painting, flooring and setting up kitchen. This is only started and a long way to go to be done. We are out over 30 K in monies. We finally fired him yesterday after being here for one hour and never calling us back to speak with us personally. We have asked for some monies back. And have contacted a lawyer for litigation. Don't be fooled by his kindness or sincerity. He is a charlatan and is plagued with unfortunate events in his life that prohibit him from actually finishing his job. I believe this is his M. O. and needs to be shut down."
