They also damaged the roof! It leaked into the house a huge 6 x 8 inch bubble 2 feet in from the roof edge in a bedroom less then two weeks after they "patched" the roof. The roof had no previous internal leaks at all. (I checked with the previous owners and we had a special roof inspection before buying the house-the inspector confirmed no internal leaks and recommended the patch work.)
They refused to return my calls and claimed they know nothing about any damage when they finally did call back and that they were not hired to repair any damage. No, they were paid to prevent possible damage but it seems awfully coincidental that a roof with no previous interior leaks over 30+ years suddenly leaked a huge bubble two weeks after they did maintenance work to prevent leaks.
We warmly recommend American Roofing. As we live in a PUD complex, we had previous contact with Mr. Yorgason when our roofing committee considered various forms of re-roofing within the complex. Mr. Yorgason attended one of our meetings and was exceedingly helpful and candid in his suggestions. He also provided sample boards and other materials for the committee. As a result, and after interviewing several other roofing businesses, American Roofing was selected as the PUD's Number One recommended roofing company by the committee.
I made the decision to elevate the whole roof (original bid was for the south side only). This was an expected additional cost. While installing the 2X4 spacers a corner of a piece of sheathing punched a whole through a bedroom ceiling. Due to all the banging and dropping of shingle bundles on the roof, many nail pops and cracks were made in the interior sheet rock ceiling. These were repaired by American Roofing.
After all sheathing and new supports were installed, the actual roofing only took a couple of days. Looks great.
When the job was competed the bill came in almost 30% over the initial bid. Some of this was expected. I was charged extra for and quot;over-sizedand quot; drip edge even though the bid included raising the roof (requiring the over-sized drip edge) and drip edging was clearly included in the original bid.
I was led to believe that there would be no charge for the 60' of new gutter. If I had known there would be a charge for them, I would have left the old gutters in place. I also thought that the soffit vents were included since we had discussed this from the beginning of the project.
Clearly there were communication issues throughout the project. Some of this was my fault. I should have insisted on quotes after each modification. Especially since the contractor had made calculation errors several times when we discussed changes.
I replaced this roof due to leaking caused by ice-dams. This contractor gave me a 10 year warranty on workmanship, guaranteeing no leaks. I knew we had structural issues to address, however I felt I was way over-charged for this work. The contractor did reduce his initial bill by about $3,500. However I had insisted from day one that there not be any surprises.
Once we get 3-4 feet of snow on the roof I will be able to determine if the workmanship was satisfactory. The cost and experience was not.
