Roofing by Zinkil

We live in a retirement community in Pembroke Pines where I am a director and the treasurer of our association. On May 1st 2013 Roofing by Zinkil was hired and paid to install 4 metal roofs on our 4 condo buildings consisting of 204 apartments. Mr. Zinkils crew came and tore the old shingle roofs off from the first building and put in the plywood and tar paper and then 2 months later tore the old shingle roof off from the second building, but that was where work stopped. For 4 months we called (his voice mail was full), emailed (most of which was ignored) and when we went to his office, we found it empty. It was only when we hired an attorney who sent a letter of demand that the work on the first building resumed. That building is approx. 90% completed but 3 of the 4 inspections required by the city (Versa Shield Fire Proof installation which we paid extra for), metal in progress and of course the final inspection are not done. His idea of a work crew was 2 to 4 men - we never saw more than 4. They left a complete mess on the side and back of that same building with pallets, nails, leftover equipment and general garbage. After 3 months, many attempts at contact and complete frustration we finally paid an outside crew 500 dollars to clean it up. The second building (my building) has been sitting with only wood and tar paper on it since August 13th, with not even the first inspection (the Tin Cap Inspection) done. A delivery of metal has sat in our parking lot for over 60 days - uninstalled. There were some heavy rains over the summer. We have made repeated requests for a tarp or some kind of protection for the roofs until the metal is installed and he has ignored our pleas and the attorneys demand. We have 25 units that have damage on the inside, some of that damage is quite bad - stained ceilings, 2 with holes, damaged drywall, soaked carpets, ruined wallpaper and dryers that don't work because - of course - we have no vent covers in the second building either. Incredibly the few times I was able to speak to Mr. Zinkil, he seems to think he is the victim - how or why I cannot understand. My recommendation is if you are considering hiring Roofing By Zinkil - DON'T. While trying to get our roofs done, I have learned that we are not the only ones he has done this to. Do your research. We did but we still got badly hurt. Now however the truth is out there and easier to find. Go to the BBB, check with the licensing dept. There are many, many complaints.
