When my house was built a few years ago, my contractors used a terrible shingle that ended up causing leaks in my home. It was devastating! Kudzu did a great job setting my expectations for the build before the job started. They held my hand during the whole insurance process and worked with my insurance adjuster every step of the way. After my insurance claim was filed, my Kudzu rep, David, met with my adjuster to make sure the claim was up to code and the necessary repairs were done. They also helped me with the insurance claims paperwork. David patiently sat with me and helped me pick out my shingles and some accessories for my roof. After he left, a Kudzu rep from the production department called me to schedule the work. He let me know when the materials and crew would get to my house and when I could expect the job to be finished. Everything ended up working out as planned, and the end result was my entire roof being replaced and looking better than ever! These guys really care about their clients and are really great at their jobs. I'd recommend them to any of my family or friends!

This process has been horrible and horrendous. I would not wish this experience on my worst enemy. Yes, Kudzu Construction came to perform repairs, HOWEVER, I was presented with a letter regarding what Jeremy (Production Manager) claimed to be the agreed upon punch list. I was informed by Jeremy that I had to sign the presented punch list letter prior to having any work performed. I reviewed the letter and I did not agree with the statement that their and quot;sub-contractor was better than standardand quot;. Especially after all the damages incurred by the sub-contractor to my home. Jason Webb (owner's son) did not remove this wording from the original and quot;punch listand quot; that was spoken to immediately after he penned it. I made an attempt to discuss why I refused to sign the letter with Jeremy. I asked if I could initial the one item that I did not agree upon so that the work could be completed. Jeremy then called Jason to explain the situation. I was given the phone to discuss my concerns and to my amazement that Jason began screaming at me and told me if I didn't sign the letter none of the work would be performed. Our current status is that Kudzu Construction has threatened court preceedings if they do not get the remaining insurance money. It is unfortunate that Kudzu Construction is allowed to provide substandard quality of service, bully homeowners, give false advertisement to consumers with their company's pamphlet stating, and quot;an earned reputation for honesty, quality, service and 100% customer satisfactionand quot; as this has not been my experience. I declare under oath that the information in this letter is truthful and email documents state the truth in my behalf.
Description of Work: The provider hired a sub-standard sub contractor. They have not completed the work on the roof. They damaged my screens, Japanese-Maple tree, metal turtle vents (replaced with a sub-standard plastic vent which is leaking), and damage to chimney, etc. There are now two additional leaks that were not present previous to their "work." The sub contractor dropped a nail gun through the roof that damaged my closet ceiling and belongings (my wife discovered the hole the next day). The pressure of their nail gun was set too high. There are black silicone sealant marks on many areas of my siding. The water barrier underlayment was not layed properly. Flashing was inconsistently placed. They left several holes in the wood decking viewed from the attic.

Response from Kudzu Construction
The customer has, what can only be explained as, irrational behavior as later confirmed by the neighbors surrounding him. Our sub-contractor did make some mistakes which were accidental in nature. Kudzu was kicked off homeowners property when they showed up (on schedule) to make repairs and then told not to show up for repairs until homeowner spoke Kudzu's owner. Homeowner then proceeded to ask Kudzu for thousands of dollars in discounts for "pain and suffering" which Kudzu denied. Kudzu offered free repairs and free upgrades which were agreed upon in writing with the customer in advance. When Kudzu showed up again to make repairs, which were previously agreed upon, the homeowner once again kicked the service crew off the property citing that the agreement needed to be changed. When homeowner was put on the phone with Kudzu owner, homeowner began acting irrationally and was asked by Kudzu owner to be reasonable. Homeowner began interrupting and a reasonable conversation could not be had. Kudzu is no longer interested in working with this customer as a result. We do not ask that the Angies list community trust us, we have documented proof (email exchanges) that we can offer as evidence that this is simply an irrational customer. Kudzu's goal is always to complete work in accordance with our agreements with the customer. This customer constantly wanted to change the agreement to discount the agreed upon price and get free work out of Kudzu. As a result, this is not a customer we can do business with. The only reason we haven't sued the customer is that the lawsuit would cost more than the balance owed on the account. This is an unfortunate transaction indeed.

Kudzu Roofing was excellent! The shingles on my home were defective so I contacted a number of roofing contractors. Kudzu was the first to show up and what was impressive was their knowledge about my roof problems and how they were able to secure reimbursement from my insurance company. They engaged the services of Parkstone Claims to work with the insurance company who arrived with the claims adjuster. The work was approved by my insurance company, but Parkstone and Kudzu worked with them to make sure all roofing components were included. I was only required to pay my deductible. My two-story house is slightly over 3,000 sf with a steep pitched roof. The roofers worked quickly and carefully. Work was completed in one day, including clean-up. They used a rolling dumpster for the old shingles and it was removed the following day. It took a number of weeks for the financial settlement with all involved, but it was worth the wait because more of the expense was covered than I expected. From the sales person to the roofers to the financial team at Kudzu, all were professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them!

We had storm damage and had Kudzu replace our roof. The company gave us a free inspection and estimate along with pictures and details on the damages and their findings. I mostly dealt with Brett Salter who was very professional, knowledgeable and always readily available to us. The work was done in a timely manner, they did great work and clean up. From what we can tell in comparison to other companies, the cost was right in line. One complaint I had was that the roofers (subcontractors) damaged a few of our screens when the were tearing up the old roof. However, Kudzu took care of this and repaired each and every one. Another complaint is that less than 6 months after the work was completed, I have shingles missing from my roof. I've called them but have yet to hear back, hopefully they will take care of this also although their responsiveness doesn't seem to be the quickest.

Response from Kudzu Construction
We appreciate [member name removed] business and valuable feedback. Kudzu always seeks to improve our performance. That said, we solicited some feedback from our team regarding [member name removed] comments. See the following: 1) [member name removed] project was insurance restoration meaning that price was not negotiated with the customer. Price was determined by/with insurance company. Kudzu worked for only the proceeds of the insurance. [member name removed] was offered an upgraded shingle at one third of the regular price. We feel that was very fair and deserving of higher ratings. 2) Regarding responsiveness: My team received [member name removed] issue regarding her loose shingles less than 4 business days ago and her issues have been addressed just hours ago. We feel we are as responsive as we should have been considering there was no leak associated with the issue. Not many construction projects go without issues. The measure of our company is how we respond when there are issues. In this case, we believe we responded quickly, and decisively, but we will use our customer's feedback to improve.
