I have this rule that when I call a contractor and there is a lot of drama involved just in them coming to do the estimate then I DO NOT hire them to do the job. This rule has served me well. I called them and the fellow seemed like a nice guy. We set a date and he did not show. I called him back set another date and he did not show. He calls me back and is very apologetic so I set one more date. I gave him some very clear instructions on how to get to my house. On the day he was to show up he calls and starts giving me a bunch of drama about how to find my house. In the middle of this drama he tells me he wants to stop and get something to eat and I get more drama about where he can stop at. He tells me as soon as he gets a snack he will come to my house for the estimate. At this point I am thinking that it will not take 15 minutes for him to do an estimate on my house why not eat afterward? The place where he is going to stop is only two blocks away from my house. He says it will only take 15 minutes. This business is visible from my house. I told him I would go out in the front yard and wait for him. Told him that I would wave to him when I saw him. I go to the front yard and wait. And wait. One hour goes by and I am still waiting. What this guy does not know is that I have already fired him. An hour goes by and I go back to the house. There is a bar one block away from me. I was thinking he was probably at the bar and if so he is definitely fired. I drink alcohol myself but only after the job is done, not before. Just to be sure I drive down there. His truck is not there and it is not at the business where he claimed he was just going to stop at for 15 minutes to get a snack. So I drive home. Another hour goes by and then another. My wife says to me "You are not going to hire that S.O.B. are you ?" I said "No... whatever happens now is for my entertainment purposes only." Three hours went by. He calls again.Sure enough it's him and I am getting the drama routine about finding my house. He comes in from the opposite direction. My instructions were too clear for this to have happened and I think he was using a GPS. Finally he has arrived !! For some reason he has his young, nice looking, and dare I say hot? female accountant with him. At least she was nice. I did like her but here he is making all this commotion about getting his stuff out of his truck. I took a good look at that truck just to make sure I did not make a mistake about not seeing it earlier. I decided that with all those logos on it there was no way I could have missed it. So here he is making a big show and more drama about doing my estimate. it was pretty obvious to me that him and the accountant had gone to a motel before coming to do my estimate. Instead of being angry I am amused and I want to see how many more lies he is going to tell me. Oh he was so sorry about it taking him longer than he thought to stop and get his "snack" and gosh that sure was a nice place of business!!! My wife was working out in the yard. He makes some comment to her about working. She gives him a very short reply back. Now it is no longer funny to me. She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet but she is part Souix indian, and at that very moment her eyes were like looking at two gun barrels pointing at you at the same time. It is quite obvious to me that the Souix are rising. I'm standing there wondering if my skinning knife is within easy reach of her but it was not. Mr. Clueless was too busy making drama about doing the estimate to notice that she was very angry. She is very angry at him for thinking we are stupid enough to believe his lies. Fortunately for me his estimate did not take that long. Unfortunately for me he began his high pressure sales pitch. All this time he is talking very loudly. He has assumed that because we are old that we are hard of hearing too. He has also assumed we are feeble minded too. I am of German ancestry. If he does not leave soon he is going to have Krauts and Indians after him and he is too clueless to see it. Finally he left and in one piece. He was also slamming his samples around as if he did not care if they got scratched or not. I do not want someone like that working on my house because if they abuse their own things they certainly will not care about mine.

The work was done but, the valleys on the roof were installed wrong ,the dripedge was not put on properly, the roof vents were replaced but, no extras as I requested. The flashing on the flue was not replaced. My roof leaks around the flue, my gutters do not drain properly and they leak water behind the gutters. My dripedge has gaps between the pieces , he painted some of the gutter corners and the paint peeled off,some off the gutter brackets are falling off and some of the screwes are only half way in.
Description of Work: the contractor was to tear off old roof, replace dripedge,flash flue install new and extra roof vents
