On 22 June 2017 I called Florida Roof to get a quote for a roof repair. I spoke with Teresa Bruce. On 27 June 2017 Michael Santhuff provided a verbal estimate of $950. Mr Santhuff stated he was a subcontractor of Florida Roof and even though they were backed up, he would be able to perform the repair that day because he already had most of the materials in his truck. After the repair was performed Mr Santhuff provided a hand written receipt with the name of the company, his name and total amount charged. After the next rainstorm, the roof continued to leak in the same spot. Mr. Santhuff came out two more times to re-seal the problem area. The repair continued to leak. The next time Mr Santhuff came out he stated the area that was leaking needed to be sealed again and the ridge vents needed replacing. This repair cost another $1000.00 on 9 July 2017. Mr Santhuff provided another hand written receipt indicating company name, price paid , and contact information.The roof continued to leak and Mr Santhuff came out one more time to try and repair the leak. A couple weeks later after the roof continued to leak I was unable to reach Mr Santhuff. On 12 Sept I called Florida Roof directly and was told Mr Santhuff is no longer with the company. Teresa advised me she would send out someone else to try and repair the roof. She also advised me Mr Santhuff was an employee not a sub contractor and was taking jobs and pocketing the money. She apologized for me not being able to reach Mr Santhuff and explained he was on her cellular plan but she had to take him off and disconnect his phone. On 3 Oct a gentleman name Mike came out and re-sealed the problem area again. Mike stated if this does not work he would have to remove the shingles in the area and re-do it. On 11 Oct Mike came back out and re-shingled the problem area. On 23 Oct I contacted Florida Roof and spoke with Teresa to let her know my leaking roof issue persists. I was advised by her that her Manager Kevin decided they will no longer be responsible for repairing my roof. Teresa advised me that because I did not have the “Official” paperwork from their office, there is nothing more they can do. I stated the company sent one of their employees to perform a service that was never completed and I had spent nearly $2000. She stated they never received the money and each time they send someone else out to try and fix the problem they are losing money. I asked for a meeting with Kevin to discuss options like getting a roof replacement at a possible reduced rate and their business practices in general but sadly have not heard from this company again.

Response from Florida Roof LLC
RESPPONSE FROM FLORIDA ROOF On or about June 22nd, Florida Roof, LLC received a call from Mr. [Member Name Removed] stating that he thought he had a roof leak and needed someone to come take a look at it if at all possible. I told him that we had a crew close to his area of town and I would see if someone could stop by and let me know what the issue was so that we could provide him with a quote for repair. I, Teresa was in a habit of putting the name of the person that called in the phone so that I would know we were doing business with them or that I had set them up for an appointment or we had serviced them. When Mr. [Member Name Removed] called in September I remembered the phone conversation and yet didn't remember that we had quoted him a re-roof or repair. I asked him what we did for him. He informed me that we had sent Santhuff out to see what was the issue with his roof and said that Santhuff sealed his ridge and did wood replacement and valley work, couldn't remember what was done on which of the visits from Santhuff, but that Santhuff did a repair that day. I asked for his address so that I could pull up invoice, I didn't see anything in our system showing that we did a repair and asked if I had sent him an invoice. Mr. [Member Name Removed] said no, that he paid Santhuff directly with a check, went onto to tell me that Santhuff had not only been out once but a total of four times. Once alone, twice with a crew member name Jme and once with a guy name Sean. Stating that in total of two "major" repairs he paid $2000. I was shocked and I apologized to him for his situation, asked him had he called the office again, he stated no that Santhuff had provided his direct cell number. He stated at that time that the reason he called the office number was due to Santhuff's cell phone not being in service. I explained to him that we didn't know where he was and that I had to disconnect the cell phone that I had put on my plan for Santhuff due to the lack of payment and that we were in the process of locating our truck and equipment. Feeling horrible about his situation, and all the rain/bad weather we had I told him that I would try to get someone over to look at the issue and see what we could do to help and could make no promise, too that I/we were not "obligated" because he paid Santhuff directly, so his agreement is with Santhuff and not Florida Roof. Mr. [Member Name Removed] stated that he felt trying to locate Santhuff wouldn't do anything good for him only because he felt that Santhuff had not done a good job after all the visits and if I could help him stop the leak that would be much appreciated. I contacted our repair crew and asked that if they had time on their schedule to stop by his house and see what they could do. When the repair crew came in that evening I was told that it was a "mess" and they were not completely sure what Santhuff had done to this valley and ridge. In addition, I was told that the repair should have never been done, that Mr. [Member Name Removed] really needs a new roof. After I received this information I contacted Mr. [Member Name Removed] and told him what the guys did and said that we are not sure if this will help at all but we tried. Also, told him about needing a new roof, which he stated he felt he needed but after dropping 2K on "repairing" it, it didn't seem like a financial option. We (Mr. [Member Name Removed]) was waiting for rain to see if this took care of the issue(s). While I had him on the phone I asked if there was any way possible for me to get a copy of the checks that they issued to Mr. Santhuff, he said he would provide me with copies (no problem). We also discussed the possibility of him/his wife joining us in a criminal lawsuit against Mr. Santhuff for his acts. He said he would discuss with his wife and let me know. Mr. [Member Name Removed] reached out again to say that the repair didn't work and that his wife really didn't want to spend any more of their time (going to court and such) on this issue, but that he would give me copies of the checks. Roughly around 10/23/17 Mr. [Member Name Removed] reached back out to me to say that the third trip from repair crew didn't work we would have to discuss other options, we had already sent a someone over three times and made repairs to include materials that didn't cost Mr. [Member Name Removed] anything and the issues were still there. Mr. [Member Name Removed] then wanted us to quote him a new roof with applying credit for the 2K he paid Mr. Santhuff. Since we were not being assisted in getting copies of the checks or Mr. and/or Mrs. [Member Name Removed] willingness to assist in filing charges against Mr. Santhuff we now feel that since he knew he was not in a contract with Florida Roof and he is not getting what he is wanting he is going after the wrong person or persons. Mr. [Member Name Removed] never hired Florida Roof, LLC he hired and paid Mr. Santhuff directly. Thank you, Florida Roof, LLC
