After asking several questions and checking out the samples of the product i filled out a request for a quote and made an appointment to get pricing. My wife runs a family day care from our home and needed to agree on a date and time that would meet our schedule, on February 17th we sat down with the salesman Greg. After about a 90 minute session and some pictures along with a short inspection of the inside roof in the attic we talked pricing, to be truthful,I thought the the metal would be way out of my pay scale!--(why you ask?) over the years i had several estimates on replacing the roof, many of them were very costly just to take off and replace this very large house (about 25 square) with 4 total layer of old roofing. At this point I thought the price was appealing and was ready to make a deal, just knowing myself I have a tendency of agreeing to the service only to come back a day later to cancel the job. under state law we have 3 days to cancel in writing the agreement you signed which i was very close to doing, that is when i pulled out the old quotes to review and found this was not too far off other jobs estimated. Greg our salesman was great and worked with us to get things going forward. when presented the quote in agreeing and signing the paperwork you need to put down (1/2) the money of the job to keep the show discount pricing offered at the time of the visit. At the time of this meeting i had no ideal i was buying into the job and did not have the money in hand ,so we agreed to write a check and make a transfer to cover the check an few days later. once the money and paperwork was taken care of the Greg kept in contact to let me to know the progress of the materials and supplies along with the scheduled start up with the roofers start date of 3/11/15 to begin tearing off the roof. I was excited and worried at the time, when the guys started to take off old roofing from each side of the house they discovered that I had more layers than 4 on this house, I received a call at work to see if i could stop at home to discuss the new found problem which means MORE money to take the roofing off because they found (7) total layers on this beast! Greg and i hashed out a price on the extra layers and agreed on the amount as the roofers continued tearing off. This OLD house has (5 dormers) / witches hat @12-12 pitch(4 sided Cone type) / 8-sided sun room/ and 6 x 8 porch --ALL ROOF!! all needed to be taken off, the tear off took about a week -including break down of the chimney and removal of dish. all structure was sound with little or no rafter damage to board over with OSB sheeting to close the roof in, with a great deal of cutting of the OSB to fit all the dormers and angles,this became a very rough and time consuming task. the roofers were great at keeping me in the know and what my thoughts might be, along with any questions that i had. I have to commend the roofers with working throughout a very cold and windy week along with rain and snow to get the job done. good crew of workers --GREAT JOB! I also requested to have a gable vent installed on the west side of the house and a rubberized roof on the porch and a solar roof vent in the witches hat to help vent the attic-which is Included in the quote. Once the roofer started to lay down the metal channels and edges and several layer of shingles on the west side i noticed that the shingles look like there was saggy looking shape to the slope in the roof and asked about how they could change it, I was told that was because when the last several layers were applied- that the roof needed to be built up to allow the drip edge to meet the new layer of shingles and gutters. I was not happy with how that looked and needed to talk to the salesman Greg again about what can be done to correct the problem? what was needed, was to remove the built up edge and replace any material to make the roof fit and look better, once again Greg and I agreed on a price to make the change and the roofers needed to take off all the new roofing they started and remove the material I requested to the roof and reshape the edges. once the edge was rebuilt the new metal roofing reapplied the roof started to take shape very quickly, there was an unbelievable amount of cutting of shingles to the roof of the dormers where two roof lines meet in the valleys and the witches hat, all went well up to- when the sun room 8 sided roof line and the dormer roof meet -all cutting of each piece to finish. re-install the gutters and pickup and before you know it they were done.
After about 2 weeks and driving around looking at several other houses with metal roofing i noticed that not one had any bad looking areas on the roof but mine--the one thing i see is that at the end of the valleys on each side of the house all have bare metal exposed which is the first thing i notice now when i drive or walk around my house. I have called to talk to Greg if there is a way to cover those valley ends? Still working on that--- Overall I really like the roof and would recommend Armor Shield and if you call for an appointment i would also request to have a roofer along to evaluate the roof at the beginning to catch any surprises! .

So, when we had the car serviced at the Subaru dealership for oil change, brake inspection, etc., I asked the service manager to have the mechanic check out the installation of the remote starter. When I picked the car up the service manager and I sat in the car and reviewed all of the functions of the Subaru key fob and the remore starter key fob. Everything worked fine per Subaru's design. The service manager was very complimentary of the installation done by Fine Details. He said it was the most professional job he's ever seen done by an "aftermarket" installer. Keep in mind, the Subaru dealership installs remote starters too - for 3 times Fine Details' price. Recently the remote starter quit working, I talked to Ken at Fine Details and set up a service appointment. They took care of the problem in a timely fashion at no charge to me as it was still under warranty. I recommend Fine Details as a service provider that you can trust!

He yelled at me when I asked him questions and when I told him that I did not like the look of the repairs he was recommending and was wondering if there was an alternate method. He said that I seem to think I know it all alreay and obviously dont want his opinion and threatened to leave. At the start of his evaluation he said that the repairs needed were not all that extensive then after talking with a contractor in the basement privately he changed his approach and added a lot more repairs to his report. He then went behind my back and disclosed information to the seller that was supposed to be between him and I since I hired and paid him. He also convinced the seller that he is the only non-biased person in the area capable of performing a drain tile test which is untrue. I found 3 other Home inspection outfits who are not associated with contractors that were qualified and capable to perform the test for half the cost he wanted to charge me. I now walked away from the home my family and I have been looking two years to find and fell in love with. It was a huge mistake hiring Chuck Weber. He is not an engineer as I was lead to believe nor has he ever worked on a basement foundation in his carreer as far as I know. His whole business is presenting plans that he found on the Wisconsin Assocation of Foundation Repair Proffessionals website which anyone can look up and print out themselves for free! How he has been in able to get away with this for as long as he has beyond me. If you are looking for expert advice do yourself a favor and hire a REAL expert.
