don't chicken out! put the names out there for all to see

Could you give me the name of your roof inspector. I don't know how to private message you. Can you please private message me with it? Thank you.

agree, if you intent is to offer information that could be of value to others to avoid being taken advantage of then post the name of the company tht has wronged you or you're neighbor. If you have done your homework and are reporting the experience in an unbiased way then why not name names. Not offering names in my opinion could say there are "sour grapes " involved on the posters part. Give the company the opportunity to agree or refute the complaint. Not posting names is another " troll " tactic

There has been a roofing frenzy in my area. So I thought what the heck and had a company who had just finished a roof nearby come over for a look. Just paid the deductible for my new roof.

The rental home is about 13 years old. I recently had a well know roofing contractor from Leesburg inspect both houses. They told me I had issues with the shingles and needed some replaced for $599. They inspected the rental home and said there were soft spots in the roof and I needed a total new roof to the tune of $11,999.00.

This morning I had a certified home inspector I have used before check both homes roofs. It cost me $60 total. I only need a little roof sealant on my personal home on a few shingles and the other rental roof DOES NOT NEED REPLACING. It is a 30 year roof and is only 13 years old. This roofing company (well known) in my mind tried to rip me off. BEWARE of roofers telling you your roof needs replacing and quotes a price. Get a certified inspector before forking over money! If you want names send me a message.
Please send me names of the rip-off roofing contractors to e-mail chasgill@gmail.com
Thanks

Was general contractor for many years. Just retired and house i
purchased had sub par valley flashing. Was melting and running
out at bottom of roof onto sidewalk (no gutters). Our village is having a
lots of roofs being re- done.

If you are concerned call for factory rep and have them check it also.

Speaking of roofs, I see a lot of the roof have black lines along them. What is that and can it be cleaned up?

the new roof haters will be at your door, if an insurance company gives you the ok then thats it , I don’t know why people begrudge other people getting new roof , and please don’t tell me about insurance going up , my bill went down $67 from last year

We have had no less than 8 yes 8 folk, from the SAME Company... call and say we need a new roof.. We dont, its fine, we have had it properly inspected....but they say " well we can make sure that will change" so the Insurance will pay. How do we stop the folk from SOLICITING at our doors. I thought the Villages had a policy for that.

Nothing

You might want to read the fine print

I’m interested in who you used to check your roof. I’m having some leaking around the a/c vent in the ceiling. Thanks in advance!

And DO NOT let said 'roof person' talk you i to 'letting him handle everything with you insurance company for you'! That is called ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFITS, and ou are basically signing your house over to this person. DON'T FALL FOR IT!! Do it yourself ...like this person did!!
