BALDWIN ROOFING

Description of Work: Hired Charles to replace flat roof over a masonry sunroom after he was part of crew that performed extensive repairs and renovation when large tree down from Hurricre Gabriel. Roof was replaced but room continued to have leaks. Charles said roof was solid but leaks caused by exterior masonry cracks etc. I had estimate to redo the pointing on the room and asked to wait till spring to do the job because not ideal to do in freezoing temps. Charlie called me to see if I had additional work he could do since business was slow. Discussed the masonry and price I was quoted. He indicated he had limited experience with masonry (Roofer usually have some familiarity and masonry repairs renovations when house chimneys need repairs and reflashing) and offered to hire a good buddy who was experienced to assist with the job. I specifically told Charlie that I expected the finish to match the existing finish and he agreed as long as I purchased the color matched cement from local supplier. I did and for some reason only known to Charlie (alias Philip) Baldwin the material was never used and resulting workmanship was a unmitigated disaster. he promised to come back and fix the mess but fully paid decided he could skip the unpleasant prospect of figuring out how to reverse the damage. Ended in lawsuit - Arbitration award of full calim for damages but Mr Balwin brags to anyone within earshot that he is judgment proof. I finally settled to end a most unpleasant experience.
