The Huffer Group Construction, LLC

I trusted Cooper Bledsoe, Salesman, and Michael J. Huffer, Jr. to install me a new roof with quality installation in accordance with our written agreement contract, and in accordance with my verbal agreements with Michael J. Huffer, Jr., The Huffer Group. The Huffer Group contract includes his Lifetime guarantee on labor, which, as I have experienced does not exist. Antony Flores, roof installer for The Huffer Group damaged my aluminum chimney over my gas water heater flue vent pipe. Flores lied and told me the chimney was alright, which is not true. The chimney is bent and physical damage is obvious. Michael said he would send a plumber to replace the chimney, and he said he pulled a permit for the installation but Michael never did anything honoring his Lifetime Guarantee regarding replacing he damaged chimney or any of the other things not done correctly. The chimney was perfectly straight and was not damaged prior to Michaelâ s roofing installation. (NOTE: Michael took pictures all around the house prior to installing the roofing so his pictures will show the perfect condition of the chimney.) The chimney has a shiny spot on it where it was bent. My written agreement with Michael said the new pipe flashing painted the same color of my shingles would be installed, but the roofers re-installed my 20 year old pipe flashing. The roofer did not replace the damaged, rotted electrical mast or the cracked damaged flashing around the base of the mast. A rubber split mast flashing should have been installed and the cracked rotted mast replaced with a new one. The roofers just put putty on the cracks in the mast and over the very damaged existing metal flashing. (Michael took pictures of the house and roof prior to installing the new roof, so his pictures will show the same old pipe flashing and the damaged electrical mast pipe and mast flashing.) Michael agreed, verbally, to move the exhaust vent for my clothes dryer to a location directly above where the dryer pipe comes up through the wall, but he did nothing to relocate the exterior exhaust pipe vent or the exhaust piping from the dryer vent piping. Michael said he would just throw-in the moving of the dryer exhaust vent. I suppose throwing-in just meant he knew he was not really going to move the dryer vent at all. I observed the dryer exhaust and piping again on 08 30 24 and saw that Michael did not move the dryer exhaust pipe. And, I saw a 3 inch pipe going into the larger dryer exhaust pipe, which does not met code requirements for my dryer, which requires a full 4 inch exhaust pipe to the exterior. Smaller than required piping restricts dryer air flow and can cause fires. On further inspection of the roof inspectors found the roof installers incorrectly installed the drip-edge molding. They installed the drip edge molding over the underlayment material at the eaves of the house. The drip edge molding was supposed to be installed underneath the underlayment so water will not get under the drip-edge molding and damage the roofing and house. Michael told me he would install D-type drip edge molding but he installed L-type drip edge molding. Michael J. Huffer, Jr. and his The Huffer Group, has not honored his written agreement and his verbal agreements. Michael J. Huffer, Jr. has stalled and made excuses about doing things I asked him to do so I have a new, high quality roof installed where it will not leak, and where the roof will last many years as designed by Atlas Roofing. I would like to say I can trust Michael J. Huffer, Jr., but I cannot trust him to do much of what he says he will do. Having worked in environmental health, and as a nursing home surveyor/inspector, for a total of 56 years, I have seen a lot of old roofs, a lot of buildings, electrical equipment, pipe flashing, exhaust vent chimneys, much damaged construction and many new construction projects where contractors and sub-contractors worked.
