      1) Bone Dry Lafayette committed insurance fraud. Requested additional funds from my insurer for the scope of work outlined by ******* & failed to perform work as outlined.2) Work took just shy of one year to complete & again not all work was done. (Trusses were specified by insurer but not installed).3) They have no record of the second payment I made in July 2022. I obtained a copy of the negotiated check deposited by them yet they continue to bill me as though that payment was never made.4) They have refused to speak with me about the bill. There have been multiple people involved in this throughout the year - *****, ******************** & a lady from scheduling. I have proof of ************** not responded to & calls promised in August not made until November.

      As per my original purchase agreement, if I was unsatisfied with any of the work performed, they would fix it immediately or I would pay nothing. On October 3, 2023, I informed the Operations Manager via text of my disapproval of the siding job as it was never completed fully and the siding had began to fall off. I was told that I would have to pay the full amount (not the originally agreed upon amount signed by me) before they would fix their mistakes. The Operations Manager came out to the site several weeks later informing me that his project team had in fact not completed the project in a satisfactory manner but that I would still have to pay before they would fix their mistakes. I have 106 pieces of evidence confirming their mistakes and company promises which had not been upheld. I never signed off on the siding projects completion and never received a proper walk through with the project ***************************. They also discarded several personal items without proper approval or consent from the homeowner to do so as well as cut electrical wiring and removed cables and phone lines paramount to my business. All of this was unauthorized. Police reports are being filed for those issues exclusively. This is faults advertising on their part and I feel that they owe me a proper installation of the siding before I pay them any amount of money.

      We have completed our review of the details of your concerns regarding your projects.  We have documents that you signed that upon completion of each project, full payment was due. We first replaced your roof on 8/19/22 and you agreed to contact your bank to make your payment to us on Monday, August 22.  The next project was for siding scheduled for 9/8/22.  That payment would be expected at completion. You were sick and asked us to delay installing siding until Monday, 9/12/22, which we did. Due to rain, we were forced to come back on 9/13/22 and the siding and skirting was completed on 9/14.  Gutters were the next project with photos sent to you as we do for all projects on 9/15.  You made one mention of fixing one area under ****************** by the door which we addressed on a visit to take some drone video.  You stated you would drop off a certified check on 9/15 for the previously finished projects when in Lafayette and you did not.  We also had a check previously given to us earlier for the new roof that was not able to be processed at the bank.  You also gave us a 5-star ****** Review on 9/19/22 (attached review screenshot) for our work and  expressed you were pleased with our work when we came to do the walk-through with you and to capture drone video of the completed projects. You did not share any issues or displeasure at that time.  We also did not remove electrical, cable or phone lines or discard personal items from the property. You shared that you would bring us a check on 9/30/22 when we contacted you to receive payment and that did not happen. We shared on 10/17/22 that we would complete all repairs that you mentioned previously once we received full payment on all the projects we did for you, and you agreed via our documented text communications with you to make your payment. We visited you again on 10/29/22 and you did not provide us with payment for your completed projects. Our consistent communication has been that we will address your issues once we have received payment as you agreed, and we have more than been consistent in doing our part in completing your projects while not receiving any payment for the completed projects as we have signed agreements from you as well as documented communications that you would pay us. We would appreciate payment for our services performed and then we will address the issues you have raised in our documentation with you.  Thank you.

      On May 31 2022, Bone Dry invoiced us for completed roofing work at our home at ******************************************************************************. The repair was to detach the trim boards; remove and replace step flashing, underlayment, and shingles along the wall and seal repaired area and haul away debris. The cost was $2400. We also had repair work done to our chimney that totaled nearly $10,000 and they assured us that the work would fix the leaks that we had been experienced. We soon found out just a few months later (August) that this work was not worth what we paid as water began to come into our family room during a rain shower. Since then, we have attempted to get Bone Dry to address the problem that they failed to solve with the costly repairs. After nearly a month of us letting them know that we had a leak in our ceiling (that was continuing to damage our ceiling each time in rained), Bone Dry finally came out to tell us that they could not fix the problem and that to "make things right" they would enroll us in a periodic inspection of our roof. They also did some awful work around our window (since they now felt it was the source of the leak and) which involved just putting caulk everywhere including our nice siding. They also just ended up putting a bunch of caulk in areas where they thought there was a leak. So as a result of the $2,400, we end up with more damage than we started with and still have yet to have a solution. As of the first week of September, we have attempted to contact both the local office along with the *** of Bone Dry. We have indicated that we want a refund in order that we can get the repairs that Bone Dry indicates that we now need. We have yet to get any information or reply from Bone Dry and don't expect to get anything from them as they were neglectful in replying to us all throughout August. Anyone reading this complaint should also realize that they should avoid working with this company at all cost. Other details and pictures are attached.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 

      Neither my wife or I received a message on the date stated by the company. I attempted to contact the company today by phone but was told by the receptionist that she could not get in contact with the Repair Manager.

      Hello, our Repair Manager did return your call after you called our office on the same day. He shared with you the water test results to determine your leak that it was noted in your report that the window may be the issue. In the course of the conversation with you, you shared you did not want to have anyone come out to your property or us to call you in an attempt to address your concerns. Without your cooperation and willingness to allow us to visit the property we are unable to help resolve your issues. We are willing to revisit in an effort to address your concerns.

      This company can argue all they want that the word "window" was in the project scope but they assured us that the work they did would fix the problem. We have always maintained that we are not concerned with the price but that we wanted it done right. When they come to our house and tell us that they will enroll us in a program to get our roof checked for free to "make things right" they obviously know that they are in the wrong. The company has already indicated that they are not equipped to deal with repairs around a window. If they are not equipped to do so, why would I allow them to come back on my property to do that work. They also must have lied in their previous response when they indicated that they left a message. Neither my wife or I received a message on the 19th as they indicated. I don't want anyone that lies to me to come on my property and do any work on my house. It also seems like they are doing everything they can to just "check the box" in order to maintain their A+ rating. It is obvious they don't want to make anything right. Their initial response didn't even have an apology in it.


      Regards,

      We had Bone Dry do a partial rebuild of our chimney as there was a large crack in it, along with associated sweep, parge, and further interior chimney work, though when finished there was a draw of air into the house. They returned around a dozen times to troubleshoot, though a solution was never found. They advise that the draw could not be a result of their work, though it did not exist prior. They were last here in late 2021, at which point they left a longer damper on top of the chimney, and left insulation stuffed in a hole on the exterior. They last sent an HVAC technician in January who promised to have someone contact us, but no one did. I attempted contact again on 7/18 via email and received a call the next day advising they'd come troubleshoot further, but have not been contacted again. During this process, we had multiple missed appointments, multiple instances of technicians being late resulting in my missing meetings. While appreciate that they continued to come look for solutions, it seems at this point that they have no further solutions, and I'm left with a $10,000 bill that I've paid for a fireplace that I can not use. A document with dates and details of work performed, issues etc. is attached, along with photos on the extended damper left on the chimney and of insulation stuffed in the ash pit hole.

      That said, while the business is scheduled to come today to continue work to resolve the issue, I would like the complaint to remain open until work is complete.
