RON'S ROOFING

unknown

He did a very quick job of putting on shingles over the present roof but he didn't put a new roof on the bathroom even though he charged for materials. The roof started leaking that spring and got worse over the next two yrs. Ron had given us a separate 15 yr warranty for the bathroom roof but he couldn't be made to honour it. When I called him I just got the run around. He'd tell me he'd be over but not show up. He blamed the leaking on our evergreen trees and said that we'd have to have them removed. I gave him permission to trim them when he repaired the roof but he never came to do the work. The last time I called him in the summer of 2013, he said our problem was the drainage pipe and he'd come over one last time to prove it. I told him that we'd had enough and that I was taking him to court! The water pouring in when it rained became so bad we had to call another company to put on a tarp. They said that there wasn't any rubber roof on the bathroom only some cardboard like material and it was like a "waterbed" up there. They also said that they'd had 15 other calls during the year to fox Ron's work. We did have a new roof installed on the bathroom by a reputable company. Ron has denied any wrongdoing in our case. This Wed. July, 9th is our pretrial hearing. His insurance company refused to offer a reasonable settlement so I decided to proceed with our court case. I don't understand how Ron could remain in business in a small town as he has swindled so many clients and even his workmen.
