  Complaint: 22928058
  
  I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it.  At this point, I don't feel comfortable having anymore work performed by Happy Roof due to the legal threats and unwillingness to acknowledge and repair all issues noted.

  In addition:

  1.  I have asked for a copy of the company's W9 Form and COI (Certificate of Insurance) for Happy Roof LLC and the subcontractors who completed the job but still haven't received either.  Please provide.

  2.  I haven't received a copy of the terms of the roof contract or warranty information.  It was noted that the warranty information is provided only after the final payment which for all I know may include limited to no actual coverage or large deductibles.  Please provide copy of the warranty agreement.

  3.  I had another roofer come out today to give me a repair estimate on the damaged and missing shingles.  Their minimum for any repair job is $1,500 which would include removing and replacing all of the damaged shingles.

  In closing, at this time, I will agree to make a final CC payment tomorrow 2-13-25 only of $2,046.51 (Remaining balance was $3,046.51 - $1,000.00 for part of shingle repair work) upon issuance of a final invoice and subsequent notarized Lien Waiver using your payment link provided and immediately cancel the disputed charge of 4,914.96 with Discover.  
  
  Please let me know if you agree and send final invoice no later than 5:00PM CST 2/13/25.

  Sincerely,
  
  ******* ********

  the 10 year warranty is voided and threatening legal action and a mechanics lien.

  The roofing portion of this contract was completed prior to Christmas.  12/19/2024.   I agreed to the discount then the customer wanted to change the agreement.  Then had a third party on our roof without anyone from our company present which voids our warranty.  

   

  Here is a reasonable solution, **** ***** from Happy Roof and a ******* representing our company will meet ******* and his ********* at the home on an agreed upon day.  We will complete all items of concern.   The ********* can stay and supervise our work, we will be present with a notarized lien wavier, a copy of the warranty, and a final paid invoice in hand, however we expect payment in full that day, before we leave the property.  

  I will contact our attorney and stop the lien process today; however, I want to have a clear path to resolution no later than 2/17 or I'm moving forward with the lien.  I will honor the warranty, clean the siding, repair whatever shingles defective, and change the gutter guard.  However, ******* asked us as of yesterday to contract additional work on his soffit and fascia and I'm not willing to complete this work.  This is outside our scope of contract, and I'm not interested.

  1.

Provide complete list of repairs done and take new pictures of entire house and garage with Before and After work pictures.2. Touch up any of the scratched gutters with spray paint.3.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and yes, it is true that I went to their office to confront them. I found that there seems to be some miscommunication, as messages were not being delivered to them by their answering service. Also, we did discuss some long term solutions to the issues that were ongoing. Was supposed to hear back from them today, Thursday September 5th, but have not. It is now 5pm. I had to send them a message again, but have not heard back.  
  
  Sincerely,

  The customer came into our office today to discuss this.  We have went out to the house anytime there was an issue.   We are working on a more long term solution.
