Cam Roofing

At the beginning of July, I finally got ahold of him. I had a lawyer with me who told him if he did not return the money he could go to jail. He said he spent the money on something else and couldn't pay me back. I said he could either give me the money or do the job. He started the work. Attached to the contract was a copy of his insurance. The policy start date was 14 March 2013 and was supposed to be good thru 14 March 2014. However, during his time on my roof I found out that it had expired. I learned this when I called the insurance company to let them know the roof was leaking. His insurance company told me his insurance had expired. Based on the dates of the policy I assumed he started the policy as a ruse and did not pay for it. The insurance company couldn't tell me why it lapsed because of privacy policies. I told him he had to get off the roof. Letting his insurance lapse was a breach of contract. My home is close to my neighbors home and If anything would have happened my insurance would have had to pay for it. That was the reason that he left, he was not insured. I even offered to pay for his insurance! After he left he would not return my calls. He only did half the job, half the roof. He did not have any money to buy materials, so I was the one who had to call the local lumber companies and pay for the materials. I did his job in that respect. He left me high and dry and never finished the job. I had to hire somebody else to do the job which cost me an additional $1000.00 above Cam Roofings estimate of $7360.00.. The guy had really good references from local people who had him do work. Something was falling apart with this guy and I would not recommend him to anybody. I would have taken him to court but that would have cost me money I did not have.
