Description of Work: Roof repairs and roll-coated

Description of Work: Replaced roof. Good job, but trampled all my plants and landscaping.

Description of Work: Mr. Jezdimir installed the shingle roofing prior to the purchase of our home. He worked for us on three occasions: first, to close an open permit on the roof from the former owners ( $300); second, to repair two leaking areas in the ceiling of our enclosed 13' x 7' sunroom ($325); third, to repair the continuing leak in one of the same areas our sunroom ($275). For the porch leaks, Mr. Jezdimir assured me that two small, soffit areas were the cause of the leaks. He claimed to have alot of experience with our style of home and was certain they were the source of the leaks. He did not physically go up on the roof--he made this determination from our driveway. I asked if he was certain without inspection that this was the cause. He responded that he had so much experience with this roof style he was sure of the cause, but would make it right if not. The repair was made May 14, 2010, shortly before we left for the summer. When I returned in October I found leaks again in one of the same areas with heavy rains. I called Mr. Jezdimir, explaining the water was still leaking in the same spot, and asked him to evaluate and resolve the continuing leak. It was several weeks before he could make time to come by and when he did so, he looked at the ceiling of the sunroom but again did not go up on the roof. He indicated he would have one of the fellows come by to fix the problem. I was surprised when I received a bill for $275 for the second repair as I felt it was unfinished business from the first repair. I called Mr. Jezdimir to talk about it, explaining that I was willing to pay for his efforts but felt this charge seemed excessive. As is my custom and nature, I spoke to him in an even-handed and respectful manner, and I was surprized to find him argumentative, hostile and completely unwilling to make any concessions in his billing. He maintained that although the leak was in the same area, there was a different cause (deck nails backing up through the shingles). I paid the bill, but felt ripped off. Subsequently I had two different roofers come by to inspect the roof. They found NO evidence of the repair of deck nails backing out and instead found that the source of the leaks was from the improper installation on the porch deck of the returns on the bottom of the valley draining the water from the main roof. This was part of Mr. Jezdimir's original work in the new roof installation. Both roofers felt Mr. Jezdimir's repair charges were inappropriate. A final note: I just recently came across a home inspection report (2002) from a certified home inspector. This is for the roof installed by Lou Jezdimir. Under the Roof Covering section the inspector states. "Shingle roof covering only about four years old but has several areas where it has been patched...Tiles are still soft and pliable--I believe this roof covering is a victim of shoddy workmanship."

Description of Work: He put on a new roof.
