    August 2023 I contracted for insurance claim work of upwards of $100,000 for roofing, siding and porch tear off and new install. Forward to December 2024 and I am still dealing with unresolved issues with my porch install there are water leaks, window and door issues and electrical issues. Also I am worried about roof issues from when he did the roof a few months ago, used caulk to seal leaks instead of properly flashing around the edges. Business is also unwilling to send me copies of my contract and receipts. I was told by owner that I should just figure out how much I have paid and how much I still owe myself. He said I should be able to see copies of the checks I have given him. He is unwilling to provide me his business license number and business insurance information. He is also unwilling to come out and look at the issues himself.

    On January 13, 2025, the business owner and installer met with the consumer's son to inspect the sunroom. Business has ordered new windows for the sunroom. It was agreed at the meeting once the windows come in, they will be installed, and the electrical issue will be addressed and any other miscellaneous items on the sunroom will be finished. After the job is completed, the business owner and the consumer's son will meet with the building inspector to perform a final inspection.

    ******* installed on 3/9/2022 for a total of $17,460. 8/25/2023 contacted the company regarding my skylight leaking following a storm. 9/01/2023 returned to business because no one had contacted me yet 9/04/2023 a roofer came and caulked the skylight. While working on the roof, he had pulled back some shingles and reported that there were a lot of ***** nails already. 9/14/2023 called office to request verification if this was an issue 10/30/2023 went to office complaining NO ONE has, as of yet, contacted me 2/12/2024 T-J Roofing replaced the skylight with a new one. At that time, they provided a verbal second opinion regarding the condition of the roof and took pictures. They felt the rust and improper placement of nails were an issue and should be looked at further.2/13/2024 went to office to complain no one has contacted me and to inform them that I had received a second opinion that was not favorable. BBB was going to be my next step if contact was not made 3/20/2024 filed with BBB

    I am rejecting this response because:
    - there has been no accountability for ***** nails

    - someone needs to check out possible damage (wetness) to insulation 

    - kitchen ceiling has water damage spots and needs to be addressed 

    Sincerely,

    On August 25th of this year I transferred an insurance check amount of $13,165.10, per his request, into **** *****'s account for Affordable Construction Company.
    His contract reads that he was reshingling my roof; both the house and the garage, the siding for the house, and to replace the front bow picture window in the living room. All that has been completed is the roofing on the house.
    The roofers broke the light by the back door when shoving shingles off of the roof. They didn't have the decency to tell me.
    I want the rest of my money back. I figure $4,800 for the roof is more than substantial as he used a discontinued color and used day laborers to do the job.
    They scraped holes in the wood on my roof. I truly doubt they replaced all the wood. In the complaint that I just filed I said I want them to finish the job. I have changed my mind I don't want that man or his "workers" on my property. I just want my money back. I need to hire a reputable construction company to complete the work. I believe affordable construction company is run more like a savings and loan;savings for him and loaned to everybody else.

    Transaction a ********* was August 25th 2023. I want a refund. I find that he was allotted $8,000 to do the roof on my house; which is all he has done. I would like a refund of the rest of the money of $5,365.10 as well as any money that he had included regarding labor on the garage roof. He is not going to finish any work because I fired him.

    When **************** shoved shingles off the side of my home, during tear off, they broke my light fixture at the back door. It is hanging by wires. This fixture survived the ***2 Tornado on June 15, 2023. I am going to need to hire an electrician to have this fixed. I feel that Affordable Construction ** is liable for property damage. I have pictures of the intact fixture after the tornado. It is in one piece.
