Response from Ellis Smith Roof America
Again a member buys a $199.00 maintenance coupon and expects over $4000.00 worth of work on a large, stacked up, 2 story steep home. First of all If you read the "fine print" portion (which is in plain print on the deal) it states that the maintenance coupon you purchased is for 1 story homes that are not steep and 2 story homes that are not steep and can be accessed with a 1 story ladder or 17 feet. This criteria fits 75% of the dwellings in the Metro area. This coupon is for maintenance and is sort of like an oil change for your roof, preventive care. In this case you have a large full 2 story steep roof. This is not covered on the coupon. I arrived on time and explained all this to you and I offered to do my best to stop the leak temporarly. I also inspected all the leaking areas thoroughly so I could give you an accurate estimate. I encourage my members to call me for a simple, no hassle free estimate if you think your house is not in the criteria of the Big Deal. I also explained to you that a house as new and lovely as yours is, and has this many roof leaks, is most likely the result of poor workmanship from the original home builder. You have a very large brick turret that extends up past the 2 story and the base flashing on the radius that was not properly installed, as well as chimney leaks on a rather new stucco fireplace etc. I sent you a complete estimate dated 1-23-15 for $4995.00 detailing the work that needed to be done to correct the poor workmanship of your home builder and stop the leaks. I also offered to refund the original Big Deal price if you decided to have my crew complete this work properly. I give all my customers 1 free call back if you are not satisfied with my big deal maintenance. I give some type of warranty on all my company's work from 1 free call back for 6 months on minor repairs, maintenance and general repairs, and 2 to 20 years labor warranty on residential roofs and flat commercial roofs respectfully, depending on the size and scope of the work and the work performed. As good as we are, we offer warranties for a reason and we respond when we know if there is an issue. This F review is the first time in 10 months I have heard from you, even after several flooding rains last Spring and Summer. We are the best for a reason: we sell great service with no games and pressure. I strive to give my members and customers as much honest information about their project as I can and let them make the best decision for themselves. Our crew has been with us for 26 years and we are background checked, drug free and sober. We have thousands of satisfied customers, all A ratings on the BBB and hundreds of A ratings on Angie's List as well as a Super Service award winner every year because of SERVICE. May God richly bless you and your family with great peace, prosperity and perfect health.
