The work was never performed.
Description of Work: We had water damage after the hurricane and called them in to provide us an estimate. The sales rep came out and spent a fair amount of time assessing the damage and explaining the work that would need to be done. He sent an email later that night with the estimated costs. He forgot to include a couple of items we discusses so I asked him about the estimate for those items. I responded right away stating that we would like to proceed with the work and asking him what the next steps were to get it scheduled. I never heard back from him. 2 weeks later, I called the office stating that we wanted to schedule the work. They told me that I needed to provide the signed estimate back to them. I told them I never received anything to sign, just an email with some estimated costs. They reached out to the rep to have him send that to me. He sent it later that day however was missing the majority of the work we discussed and that he outlined in the email. I emailed him back asking if he could add the other work items we had discussed. Still have not heard back. I know the work we wanted was only about $3500 worth of work but it amazes me that when you are ready to give a company your business they disappear.

We are very sorry for the response you got to your repairs. That is not how we do business. We do not want to make excuses, however; hurricane Matthew has put every system we have, to the test. We had everyone on our team working constantly, helping people get their homes secure after the storm. We regret that anyone received a level of service less than what we are known for. Please do not penalize or judge us on that moment of craziness. We are just now starting to get some level of organization back. If you still need our help, please call me directly on my cell phone. I am James Suplee, the owner of the company, 904-813-2884. Again, I sincerely apologize for your experience.

Description of Work: Two workers came out on Nov. 30 to inspect the roof and they found the stucco had crumbled on the chimney along with cracks. They have never gotten back to me with an estimate for the repair. I have since gotten it repaired as I was afraid to let it go longer and maybe have further damage. |Disappointing.

They did a great job. You can't even tell that the pavers have been added. The price was just a little bit more than some of their competitors, but we were able to pay the extra because I don't believe any other company could have done as good of a job. The type of professionalism that they showed was highly unusual for the St. Augustine area. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Fidus did an outstanding job. They were professional from the day a representative came to the house with an estimate and explained what they would do and how they would do it. It was impressive to the point that it generated a very confident feeling about them. Their work was consistent with the first impression. The work crew was prompt, efficient and considerate of our property. The supervisor was pleasant and kept us informed of progress and/or problems. When damage was done to some of our shrubbery during the old shingle removal process, those shrubs were replaced without any question. Now that Fidus has branched out into other forms of construction, we have used them to replace a dock in our backyard. That job was done equally well and efficiently. They are a rare group of professionals in this day and age - dependable, quality work, efficient and responsive.

My home was involved in a hail storm and noticed a small leak on the bathroom ceiling a couple months later. I called Fidus for an inspection to see if I had a damaged roof. They came to the house promptly and inspected all of the roof, said there was no damage to the shingles and the small leak I had was coming from the rubber seal in the flu going bad. They replaced all 3 of them on my roof for $ 300.00. I was ready to buy a new roof if I needed to and they told me it wasn't necessary. I really appreciate honest people from a company with integrity. I have referred Fidus to many of my customers, friends, and family and the feed back I have gotten has all been exceptional. This is VERY hard to find in the construction world it seems. I have also gotten an excellent estimate from them to extend m back porch with pavers and re screening and it was by far the most detailed with tons of options include a fire pit, extending screening, using screen that would prevent my dog from damaging it..and on and on. I will be starting this project very soon :)

It went very well. He was on the roof for over 3 hours water testing to locate the leak. The source of the leak was determined and repaired. It has rained subsequent and it has not been a problem. I have to say they came out right away and did everything they could to make this experience the best it could under the circumstances. Great job!! they cleaned up everything and it look better than when they arrived.

Not well. The appointment was scheduled for 8:30 a.m., and I received a call that they were running late and would be at the house at 9:30. That was no problem. I then didn't hear anything back, so I called them at 10:30. The person I talked with assured me that he was on the way to the house. I then received a call around noon informing me that they couldn't make it to my house until 1:30. I told them to forget it. It was disappointing to take a half day off for nothing. I wish they would have just told me upfront that they were too busy for my repair need.
Description of Work: We have a small leak in our roof, so I called the Fidus Group to see if they could check it for us. We had an appointment scheduled for a Monday morning. I took a half-day off from work to meet with them that morning.

We needed areas of new gutters and a few areas of missing gutters due to a remodeling project. General contractor was supposed to take care of but dropped the ball so we asked Fidus to take care of it since they had done the re-roof a month prior. Came in & took care of within the same week (we had been waiting months for general contractor to take care of it and got tired of waiting). Even painted metal fireplace chimney contractor had not gotten around to doing for free. Would definitely use Fidus again in future.

James was awesome to work with. We haven't had much luck previously with contractors but were pleasantly surprised by the level of service provided with this company. We had gotten 5 estimates several months back for the job but decided to wait as we went ahead with a room addition project. Fidus's estimate was mid-range, but references and punctuality & overall professionalism was much much better. When we finally decided to go ahead with roof, we needed to make the schedule fit with the general contractor's and James was actually on phone with us at 11pm to make it happen! Cannot believe he returned a call to us that late in the day (we had just left message). The re-roof was done in four days for a large difficult job. He bent over backwards in accommodating a demanding contractor. When a couple of the pool screens were damage during the re-roof, James sent a screen people promptly to replace the damaged screens as well as one that was previously torn without a charge. They have been nothing but wonderful for us and we would use them again in a heartbeat.

We hired Fidus to replace our 16 year old roof. Prior to the quote, we had a leak in one section, which we pointed out to them. They told us they would take care of it, and would build new crickets to fix the problem. They also told us they would fix any additional problems they found when they took the old roof off. The first day of construction they almost ruined our 3 air conditioning units because they wrapped them tightly in plastic. Our HV/AC contractor said that had we not had new units, the old units would have burned up. The site manager was not the most responsive either. But by far the worst is the nightmare we are now living due to a leak in the roof that we discovered when we went out on the front porch during a rainstorm and found water teaming down the inside wall. Our insurance company AND the GAF rep both came to analyze the damage and BOTH said Fidus had not done the roof properly. Our repair contractor has now opened up the roof to find that not only did Fidus NEVER fix the original leak they said they would (the quote the owner James- "You don't have to worry after you sign with us, this is my problem now"), but that they just piled a bunch of tar up in the corner in the other area that is now leaking. Fidus originally agreed to do the repairs, but is now saying they won't touch it because they don't do carpentry and it's not their problem. Really?? Look at their web site and listen to them sell the job- they do "all kinds of remodeling and building". We are now dealing with GAF (who has been wonderful) to get this resolved, but honestly don't want Fidus on our property. It's not only the fact that they caused over $30,000 worth of damage to our house by an improper roofing job, it's also that they aren't even willing to be professional and own up to the problem and fix it. We have hired many different contractors over the years, but have NEVER dealt with issues like we have with Fidus. And their total stonewalling in spite of the insurance company AND the GAF rep concluding that they are responsible is absolutely unacceptable. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CONTRACTOR!
Description of Work: Repair leak in roof, remove old roofing, make any additional needed repairs, and install new GAF 50 year roof and gutters.

As a business owner the worst scenario is to have a customer who is unhappy. My team and I strive to do whatever is possible, taking full responsibility, even if it costs us money, to make sure that the customer is pleased. Sometimes it seems there is nothing that can be done to make someone happy. This obviously is the case here. We are so sorry that this project was a bad experience for this customer, however this is one of those circumstances that could not have been seen during the roof install, unless the stucco and/or drywall were completely removed, which was not part of the scope of our work. We were hired to replace the roof on this property. Following GAF’s stringent standards and protocol, we accomplished the task. The GAF inspector inspected the roof, upon completion, giving a good final report. Two months after completion, the homeowner noticed water leaking. He took it upon himself to pull down the interior wall, only to find wall rot. This rot was due to errors when the house was first built, and impossible to see during the replacement of the roof. We met the homeowner, with the GAF representative, the homeowner’s insurance company rep, and the general contractor to help rectify the issue. This rot, having gone unnoticed for years, had to be completely removed and repaired. Note that this rot had nothing to do with the install of the roof, however in efforts to help the homeowner, we went over and above to help make the improvements to his home with his general contractor. We actually thought things were improving when we were hired by the homeowner to do more work on his home after this issue occurred. If anyone would like specific details on this particular job explaining exactly what happened, and what we did to rectify the issue, we would be happy to discuss the entire job in full detail. For more information on this job, feel free to call me, James Suplee, owner of Fidus. I would be happy to talk to you and even put you in touch with the GAF inspector who knows this property very well. I’d like the opportunity to show you that we go above and beyond, even at our cost, to do what we can to make things right and keep customers happy.

We regret that this particular project took so long to get to completion. In short, the problems with this project stemmed from a manufacturer’s product defect, which was eventually covered by the manufacturer. We regret that we were not able to satisfy the customer. We wish that wasn't the case. We are happy that the customer now has the problem resolved. We hope you enjoy your new roof for many years to come.

It was a complete tear off and re-roof. The work went fine, and the roof looks beautiful. I did not have any problems with the workers or the way the work was done. I got another estimate, which was basically the same, so I don’t have much to compare in terms of the price. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future if necessary.

We knew they were arriving on November 2nd but we and our 4 dogs were not prepared for the ripping off of the roof starting at about 7:15 am. There was no warning of this early arrival but we later learned that they were trying to finish the roof in one day and had to come early because of a the recent time change. Unfortunately, this goal did not happen and they had to return the following day for a few hours to complete the roof in daylight. The new roof is beautiful and beautifully put on (our neighbor, an ex-roofer, was keeping an eye on their work unbeknownst to us at the time) and the roofers were personable and professional. The owner of the company came to inspect their work and chat to me briefly, which I appreciated. The weather was perfect but rather windy and the trash from their work got spread over my yard. However, they did a good job of clearing it up with only a few missed pieces. There were a few nails left around the house but I think that was because my husband ran over their magnet pick-up tool which they left too close to his truck the first morning making it difficult to use properly~! The roofers really cared about their work and replaced some tiles that had got bent up in packaging and did not lie flat against the roof. Our overall experience was a good one, we appreciated the quick and professional work, and love our new roof.
