Stephen Hinkle Construction Inc

Walked off unfinished job with our money. Unable to reach this contractor. Do Not Use.

Stephen Hinkle promised in writing to honor an estimate from a business
mentor who had quoted me at $5700.00 for a new roof and total gutter
replacement. In a very convincing manner he promised to have all
work completed by a very reasonable date. By all indications there was
no reason not to trust him. He brought his work crew and the roof was
completed in one day. He promised the gutters would be installed in 3
days time and that the work site would be immaculate. The gutters were
not installed for over a month. In that time we had the week of rain
that accompanied the huge hurricane we had in late October 2012. The
inches of rain poured into my foundation and I was beyond stressed the
entire time. I have seen evidence of damage since then. In addition I
continue to find nails and other debris that have washed off of the
roof. A friend of the family stepped on one of the nails- I was
mortified.
Throughout this experience Stephen returned a
call or text once or twice at first and then I never heard from him again, despite repeated phone calls, texts, even certified letters. Upon meeting him he acted like he would be your new BFF
and on top of that because of the relationship he had with his
mentor/supplier he was just full of "I would never screw you over"
promises. In addition to all of the above, he added on to the estimate
he had promised to honor.  While the experience started out favorably, it ended with nothing but stress and poor business practice.
Stephen Hinkle's mentor/supplier has ceased to do business with him. Nothing but excuses, false promises and total lack of communication.

I would recommend Dennis Lehman is top of the line and I would give him and A+ rating and will use him again.

The job was good. We did have some problems with the billing. He will not return calls.
