Elkins Roofing

unknown

Within a year of completion of the new roof, there was a leak. He did come out many, many times and tried to fix the leak, but it kept coming back, eventually ruining the ceiling and one wall below. This went on sporatically until the fall of 2009 when he blamed the leak on the plumbing. I had to pay a plumber for an inspection and to meet with him and tell him that the plumbing was fine. I also chose to have another roofing contractor look at the area with the stubborn leak. He said that the roof was done as cheaply as possible. He recommended that the area with the leak be torn off, a boot placed around a vent, and then re-roofed. Frank Elkins refused to do it that way and patched it again. It is now May of 2010 and it has held so far, but the other roofing contractor said it will only be a temporary fix. As far as the damage inside of the home caused by this roof leak, Frank made an attempt to repair it. He came out and hung drywall and then never showed up again. Although he said several times that he was going to come, he never did. After atleast 3-4 months of waiting, I eventually gave up on him and had to hire a contractor to finish the job. That contractor had to remove the drywall that Frank put and start from scratch because it was not hung correctly. Also, I did ask Frank Elkins to turn the damage caused to my home in to his insurance company, which he should be able to do if he is bonded as required by law. Frank told me that he does not carry insurance for any damages caused by his work.

Horrible, he never showed up to finish the job and left us no choice but to hire someone else to finish his sloppy mess!
