Get matched with top deck maintenance specialists in San Antonio, TX

"I wanted to share my experience with DV Roofing and Remodeling. I fired them around 6 weeks ago due to finding out that they were trying to get away with over $3,000 worth of work that was not done. When meeting with David Violette and Roger the owners, they were professional and appeared to be an honest person. I clearly stated to David that I wanted all repairs done that the insurance was reimbursing for. When he came over with Roger to write up the contract, he did not include my window screens which the insurance was paying for (I thought it was an honest oversight). He quickly went down the check list mumbling some, but did not explain he was not listing everything the insurance was paying for and he did not explain that he had no intentions on replacing my felt as he was requesting reimbursement for (which is illegal). I found out the quality of work they do because they left a piece of my drip edge in the front of my house damaged. I called them back to fix a speaker they didn't reattach to the back of my house and to fix the drip edge. They came out and fixed both, but unfortunately did a sloppy job with my drip edge and the front of my house looked like it had a patch job done. It previously was a smooth piece of drip edge and now it had a patch. I called David to have him come out and look at the patch work that I was not happy with. I also called a second company to come out that is a Haag trained roof inspector. I wanted to get a second opinion on the patch job so I could discuss with David when he came. The inspector requested all the information about the repairs that should have been done and inspected to see if they were all done. He found over $3,000 worth of work that was not done. He took pictures of the work that was not completed. The inspector did not cost a lot, so I would recommend that everyone getting a roof done hire an inspector. David had also included damages for my fence as a supplemental check that he NEVER discussed with me. I had to meet with lawyers and the fraud department. It has been a nightmare. Because the insurance gave me the initial first payment and I had already paid DV Roofing the first check, they stated at this point it was a civl suit, prior to my paying him they could have stepped in. BEWARE where it says replace felt, if he scratches it out and writes in install he has no intention on tearing off your old felt and replacing with new felt (however he sure will collect money for it) and when he hand writes in on replacing the drip edge and writes "as needed" (but he requests reimbursement to replace it all). He tried to pocket this money. He gave me all these other excuses the other times we talked about where the $3000 went to and I discussed with the inspector, insurance, lawyers, and RCAT. They all stated he was full of bull and pocketing the money. The crew was extremely nice and professional and even though they had an inspector on sight, it is clear he is in on this poor quality of work as well. Please beware and choose another contractor. Thank goodness I recorded our conversations, because David can't lie about what he said. I have emails and recordings. DV Roofing was a horrible choice. Their website states that they have "best warranties in the industry, no short-cuts on materials or our superb craftsmanship". This is a complete lie. They cut corners (over $3,000 worth). Not replacing the felt in itself it "poor workmanship" not superb. Their warranty is also not the best. Most offer 10 year warranties, they offered 5 years. They committed fraud and mislead me. I should not have had to research every night and learn about roofing, nor should I have had to hire a certified roof inspector and lawyer. They are supposedly the professional in this field. David stated that all roofing companies do this, and they don't. That's why there is an association w/ ethical roofing companies that care to be a part of the association and uphold those standards. It is companies like DV Roofing that make roofing companies look bad. Please do not fall victim."

"First and foremost, it should be stated that there is an existing lawsuit against Frava Services. I have an existing business and recently purchased the property next to it. After asking around, someone had referred Frava Services to me. They mentioned that he ran a rather small operation but he does good work. After quoting a few companies, Frava offered the best prices and he contacted me frequently to try and gain my business. His prices are great and when you first meet him you will trust him because he seems honest, humble and determined to gain your business. Do not let any of these things fool you as he is good at his acting. Mr Franco mentioned that he was recently burned for a job he did for a realtor, he asked that I prepay him some money for tree-trimming and fencing. I pre-paid him and he got both of those jobs done promptly (December 2017). This is his first method to create trust and rapport with his clients. He then asked me to pre-pay him a larger sum of money (for a concrete job) and I gladly did because the other jobs were done. It is now May 2018 and he has yet to complete any other jobs than the first two he had completed in January 2017. I have paid Mr. Franco a total of $57,500 and he has completed (per our contract attached in images) only $24,000 worth of work. You will be able to reach him easily. If you call or text, he will answer promptly. However, he will give you a date of completion, updates etc. but they are all a ways to buy more time. Mr Franco has made around 20 "promises" on when the jobs will be completed but hasn't kept a single one. Mr. Franco will also give you many excuses for his no-shows that are personal matters but again, these are all a form of distraction. DO NOT make the same mistake I made. Although his prices are competitive, you are much better off paying more for a job that will actually get done. He also operates under the name FRANCO SERVICES and his name is Oscar Franco Vaca."
