Sage was recommended to me by a neighbor and I immediately looked them up on Angie's List. I saw that they were 'A' rated, a Super Service Award winner (2014) and had 3 nominations for POH. What could go wrong? Well, a lot could go wrong.
I contacted Sage roofing and we set a time to come out and inspect the roof the next day. They arrived on schedule, inspected the roof and said there was some damage and to contact my insurance company (State Farm). The claims adjuster came out and met with the roofer and it was agreed that the roof should be replaced.
Sage came as scheduled a few days later and replaced the roof. During the roofing job, the roofer noted that the flashing and chimney cap should be replaced and contacted State Farm with a request for additional funds to replace these items. State Farm declined without further comment. The new roof, without flashing or chimney cap, was done in one day. The roof looked great, and they cleaned up well.
We had a few moderately heavy rains over the next few months with no visible problems. But the winter was quite cold and there were several days of snow and drizzle with freezing and thawing temps.
Heavy rains began in late April. After one heavy rain, I noticed water leaking in around the chimney. I called Sage in early May, spoke to JT Lopez, Project Manager, and Sage had a roofer come out on May 7th. The roofer said he had fixed the problem (a small nail hole in the flashing). It rained again that night and the leak was still there, about the same as before. I called Sage back the following day, May 8th.
JT Lopez (the Project Manager) came out the next day, May 9, He inspected the roof and said we needed to fix the problem before both the leak and the interior damage became worse. He said that a roofer would be back later that day to make repairs as needed. We agreed that the leak was a priority and that the interior damage would wait until after we were sure that the roof was no longer leaking. (This agreement seems to have been forgotten completely, see below.)
The roofer never came out. I waited until May 12th and then started calling Sage, but my calls all went to voicemail. Over the next 8 days, I left several messages for them to PLEASE call me back. They never did.
I finally got JT on the phone on May 20th. He said that I needed to call his manager, Clay, in the home office. I called the home office, spoke with the manager and it was not a pleasant conversation. It started out pleasant enough, but then he started giving me reasons why I would have to pay for new flashing and any repairs for interior damage caused by the leak. First, it was because it had been months with no problems since they replaced the roof. (Note: They say they give a lifetime guarantee.) Then it was because the insurance company didn't include flashing, pipe jacks, or chimney cap in their estimate.
The conversation concluded with the understanding that JT and a different roofer would be out and re-examine the .problem area and we would go from there. They never showed up.
Adding to the stress of all this is the fact that I had the room (where the leak is damaging the ceiling and wall) completely remodeled 17 months ago. This included repairs, painting, and a new ceiling. During this remodeling, I had an old leak repaired along the chimney. This involved replacing the cricket behind the chimney to stop water from ponding, which was the source of the old leak. There were no leaks after this cricket was installed.
Sage also advertises a ?Referral Incentive?. I was told by Sage Sales Manager, Taylor Voskuil, that this was $400 for referring Sage to another homeowner, payable after the referred new job was completed. After my new roof was finished and everything looked good, I recommended Sage to my next door neighbor. This neighbor subsequently contracted Sage to replace their roof in February (or March). I have been promised the referral by both JT and the Sage Sales Manager on three different occasions, all prior to the current problem at hand. I never received anything, not even a ?thank you?. Additionally, another neighbor who initially recommended Sage to me was never given his referral incentive (also $400, promised by Taylor). I now assume that this ?Referral Incentive? is disingenuous.
"It is always unfortunate, regardless of the situation, when a client is this upset. We built the members roof last fall and all went very well as shared in the complaint. This past April we contacted the member to see if he had been hit by the recent hail storm that had passed his neighborhood. A few days later he called our office and left a message. The first thing he stated was that he was very aware of our high grade with Angies List and that we were super service award winners. He then stated that he was going to send in a really bad review and ruin our good standing if we did not come out and fix his roof! Not sure why he would take that course of action with us but he did. Our project manager went out and inspected his roof. There was nothing that we had done that needed to be fixed. He claimed his chimney flashing was bad and caused a leak in the home. He stated that in the agreement we checked the box to replace the chimney flashing. In working with insurance cases, we check the potential items that could be replaced on the roof pending an inspection. When his roof was inspected by the carrier, they determined there was no damage to the chimney flashing and was not covered. Below the signature line in his agreement it states the following: "This agreement is subject to insurance company approval and does not obligate Homeowner or Sage Roofing unless repairs are approved by the Insurance Company." We made the member aware of this. Our position, as I shared with him myself, was we would honor any workmanlike issues as it relates to the work we performed. In this case we did not repair his chimney flashing and if that was the issue he would be responsible for payment if he wanted us to perform the service. To further question his motives, he first told us it had never leaked or had any issues, then later on told the project manager that it in fact had been a trouble spot in the past and had hired a company to install a "cricket" around the chimney. In all situations, we choose to be honest and direct and don't feel like the member was that way with us nor did we appreciate his threat tactics. Bottom line is the item he wants us to replace was not part of our agreement. We did not replace it so does not carry any sort of warranty. We offered to repair at a reasonable price and he declined. Regarding the referral he is claiming. He brought this to our attention again in April, which is over six months after we had replaced his roof. We do offer a referral incentive that goes into much more detail where members can be eligible for an IPAD, which in no way has he qualified for. Again, this is an unfortunate situation. I hope that anyone who were to read this would know that we stand behind our work and the comments to this specific case."
And that's precisely what they did.
Sage's crew took great pains to protect my home's surroundings: they moved all my patio furniture and numerous planters out of the way. They used enormous large sheets of tarp to cover landscaping and my swimming pool. They installed a beautiful new High Profile Class 4 Impact shingles which look amazing and help my house stand out from the rest of the neighborhood (apparently this is a bonus they provide solely to AAA customers). And they cleaned everything up beautifully.
Mr Voskuil then called to follow-up and ensure everything was perfect. And indeed it was. My roof looks absolutely spectacular and I didn't have to spend an extra dime.
Bottom line, living in North Texas you'll need a new roof, these guys were by far the way to go! Thanks Sage for a job well done, I'll be sure to refer you to anyone I know in the future!
