Hardin's Home Improvement

He replaced both doors and did a lousy job. I wanted my gate and fence replaced and he only patched them up. When I questioned him about his work, he got hostile with me. There were a few things missing, so he was supposed to come back and install my trim. He was supposed to that day, but it wasn't included and now I can't get him to come back. He has yet to call me back, and if we do talk there are a lot of excuses.

Explained above.

Our realtor recommended this roofer and told us that he had an impressive resume along with boasting a very reasonable price. After comparing his price to three of his competitors, I realized that the price was indeed very reasonable. However, I would soon find out that the price was quite high for the quality of service rendered. The roofer promised to replace all of our shingles and any decking that needed replacing. At first things seemed to be going decently, other than our neighbor mentioning that they thought he had an odd methodology. After bringing in other contractors to check his work, they confirmed our neighbor's suspicion and said that he had applied dimensional shingles in a method typically reserved for three tab shingles. Our problems really began when both my wife and I ended up with flat tires. Unfortunately, the roofer did a poor job of cleaning up after himself, and I had to scour our driveway and the yard for stray nails. About a week after the work was done, I noticed that we were getting a leak in the front bay window. Since we were new to the home, we didn't know if this had been occurring previously or not. After calling the roofer several times (as he would not show up when promised), he arrived to inspect the situation. He assured us that the leak had nothing to do with the roof, and that the window just needed some caulk. Eventually (a year later), when the leak had returned, it turned out that the problem did indeed have to do with his workmanship, as we had to have another roofer install ice guard to fix the problem. One of the other issues that I called him out on was excessive leaking on the gutters. He begrudgingly arrived after five or six calls and applied some gutter caulk. Sadly, this did not fix the situation. After calling out another contractor, it was discovered that there was a gap in the decking near the gutters. The roofer had not replaced decking where needed as he had promised! Also, it was revealed that the roofer had skimped on materials by not properly overlapping shingles near the end of the job. All in all, it turned out to be a big mistake to go with this roofer. I'm not sure if he really was trying to pull a fast one on us or if he just honestly doesn't know that much about roofing. Supposedly he had replaced many roofs prior to working on ours, but I can't see how he could stay in business with such shoddy workmanship.
