Simon Roofing & Home Improvement

Things started out well. The Simon brothers are very personable, but language issues can sometimes be a problem. English is not their first language.Roofing seems to be their primary business, based on the outcome of the other services performed.The roof looks good, but they forgot to put flashing around the 3 solar tubes in our roof so rain leaked in. That was resolved. No additional roofing problems have occurred so far.Ridge vents were called for on the architects drawings and were installed, but they put solid - instead of vented - soffit panels in. The attic, therefore, cannot vent properly. Roofers should know this! (Our son alerted us to this error.) Plus, they did not put j-channel on the outer edge of the soffits, but rather just rested the vinyl soffit sections on bent fascia metal! Instead of wrapping the wood trim snugly with the metal fascia & then installing the outer j-channel piece below it, they extended the fascia down as far as the bottom of the j-channel would have been. It's wavy b/c it's not attached to anything and is supporting the soffit panels. The only way to fix this is to remove the gutters and have the fascia completely redone, which would be costly.They did not know how to do j-channel corners around windows and doors properly. They simply cut the channel at a corner and bent it around the corner, leaving an open square at each corner AND an inappropriate seam above each garage door. I had to look on the internet myself on how to do this, make a mitered corner sample for them & print out photo directions on how to do the corners. Siding had to be removed, j-channel replaced & siding re-installed.
