Approximately three years ago, I called DaBella out to inspect my roof that had some minor water leaks during the rainy season of the year. The representative insisted that our roof was past prime age and that it in fact needed a replacement, and so I hired DaBella to perform a full tile roof replacement. Over the course of the project, multiple separate instances of property damage occurred outside of what would be considered usual for a project like this:- Our car was hit by a forklift upon delivery of roofing materials. - Pavers were smashed on the side of our house. - Our driveway was ruined by the dumpster company used during the project.- My neighbor's driveway and front yard were defaced by the same dumpster company by driving their vehicle onto their property.- Upon "completion" of the roofing work, I inspected the roof myself and found numerous cracked tiles and some missing.As of 07/18/2024, I noticed that water was dripping into my living room onto my couch after a rainstorm came through my city. In fact, I had just repaired my ceiling drywall as there was a rather large crack that seemed to worsen over time. It wasn't until last week that I realized that this wasn't due to the house settling, but due to a leaking roof. It has been a nightmare process trying to contact someone who cares about my situation, and anyone who I've spoken to seems to only offer empty promises and not follow through with proper communication. One of DaBella's employees attempted to tarp off the area of my roof as a temporary solution, however it has since fallen out of place and water has entered my home once again. They keep insisting that they will update me by x time, leaving me to call myself as they don't follow through. Considering that we have spent upwards of $30,000 to have this work done to endure this type of customer experience, only to end up with a worse roof leak than I did previously is outrageous and unacceptable to my time, wallet, and my family.Business Response

We regret to hear you are experiencing issues with your roof and want to do everything we can to assist you and address your statements directly. We would like to note that we did take ownership of the damage you described at the time it happened and while not ideal, these things may happen from time to time during construction, which is why we compensated you for those damages. Furthermore, when we spoke to you on 7/18/24 we explained that since you are outside of your labor warranty you would need to contact the manufacturer to address the roofing concerns. We provided their information to you at that time via email and can confirm that email that last opened on 7/22/2024. At this time we also offered to tarp the roof temporarily at no cost to you while awaiting the outcome of the warranty claim. We reiterated this messaging when we spoke to you on 7/19/2024. A member of the local office also attempted to contact you on 7/30/2024 and 7/31/2024 to clear up any confusion following this complaint but was not able to reach you. We apologize for any frustration you are feeling and encourage you to contact the manufacturer as soon as possible to have the roof assessed.Customer Answer
Date: 08/01/2024
Complaint: 22028295I am rejecting this response because:
I am completely aware that unexpected damages may occur during construction, however that is not the error I was blatantly pointing out in my complaint. It was the fact that DaBella did not take initiative to rightfully compensate for all damages up front. I had to take time out of my day, for multiple days, in order to deal with all of these issues arising and constantly call to find a solution we all agreed on.
Furthermore, I am aware that I am "outside of the labor warranty" and that I would need to contact the manufacturer to address the roofing concerns. However, when I called the manufacturer, they explained to me that the issue was not related to a parts defect indicating that it was likely due to improper installation of said parts, which is why I continued communication with DaBella. I am also aware that a temporary tarp was placed on my roof as I am the one who communicated with the individual who did so, as I stated in my previous complaint communication to you. Unfortunately, as previously stated, it was not secured well enough to maintain its position for more than 12 hours. This eventually proved to be useless as rain came through the very next day.
To restate my original complaint, I am not satisfied due to the lack of transparency and effort on DaBella's part. A complete re-roofing lasting short of 4 years is unacceptable, especially since part of DaBella's sales pitch included how my roof just lasted over 30 years which is the expected duration of a roof of this type. The constant issues left and right, causing me to take time off of work and my obligations to compensate for DaBella's lack of due diligence and communication efforts is completely unacceptable.
Lastly, I received one phone call on 07/30/24 from an individual who I have previously spoken to, and left a short voicemail to return their call. I have not had time to do so as of this message. Outside of that one phone call on 07/30/24, I have not received any additional attempts to contact me. Perhaps if one of the two unknown callers that did not say anything after I answered, within the past few days, was a representative from DaBella, they could have easily left me a voicemail or sent an email as I deal with spam callers every day. I hope that this is not considered an "attempted communication" per your standards. Also, I think it is important to note that a representative of your company has admitted that this fault is on DaBella, which is why I have not attempted to reiterate this concern to your manufacturer.
Sincerely,

Several months ago I had DaBella provide a roofing quote. It was nearly double the rate of other businesses in the area. I declined their business at that time. Since then representatives have knocked on my door and called my phone multiple times despite being asked each time to remove me from any of their call or visit lists. I want no further contact from this business. Most recently they called me on 7/12/24 and I again insisted that they remove me from their call list. I have since received calls on 7/15/24 and 7/17/24.Business Response

Dabella door to door salesman stopped by the house on 7-8-24 and I was trying not to be rude and finally said I would allow his team to take a look at the roof the next night but I told him countless times I would pay my brother in law to do my roof. I wrote down my information and eventually was contacted by his supervisor who explained that they would require 90 minutes of my time the following night. I explained that I did not want to give them 90 minutes and would give them 10 minutes and she explained that she would need far more time than this, so I said I was not interested. Since then I have been receiving 5 to 10 telemarketing scam phone calls a day. I do not feel that is coincidence that this happened after they got my phone number as I never had any of these phone calls prior to that night. I am accusing them of selling my information to telemarketers and I demand that they fix it. I have also been telling anyone in the area not to use a company who would do such a thing. We do not need businesses who act like this in our community.Business Response

Dabella has a sales technique to promise what ever the customer wants but their sales reps don't talk to the install team and they won't work with what was promised. My siding install team was a very lazy team and their work is pretty poor. The installation manager never checked over the teams work leaving the job substandard and definitely not worth the amount I paid. I have had to have the company come back out 4 times to fix their mistakes that I am finding. Their crew damaged my driveway, roof, destroyed my garden bed, and voided my warranty with all my windows by s******* their siding into them. And now I have to get all new windows. They left the job incomplete. And without me looking over their work they thought it was good and left. Vast majority of caulking left open. Cladding not even attached to the house. Large gaps around electrical box. Holes where wires and water lines come out poor caulking job. Caulking started cracking after a month. I have constantly had to call them to come back out and finish their job. But they just show up whenever with no communication or checking with customer if the time works. I have had to hound them to fix all their mistakes and destruction to my property. They had been fixing things. But that is the major stuff. The actual work looks bad where joints come together and siding not even attached to the house. The siding that is attached is attached incorrectly and allows water to deep behind the siding which will be a great expense down the road. I truly think that paying $40k for this sliding job is not worth the product I got. I am very dissatisfied with what I got and very upset for having to pay this amount for a very shotty job and look of my house now. I truly regret hiring dabella and truly regret having them on my property and ruining my house. I have to spend so much more time and effort just to get a product that is supposed to function correctly. And still have to do more to get it to look good.Business Response

3x call center calls come in from a *******, ** number. ************. Same script each call, "We're calling as we see you completed an online roofing inspection request....etc. etc."I wouldn't complain here if I had. Call center employees are used car roofing salespeople. I've advised, each occasion, that I in fact did not make such request. First call the individual blew right past my objection and asked me what the issues were with my roof. I asked them to update their call sheet and list me as a ****Second call, same thing. Paid no attention to my objection. Again I asked to be put on ****Here we are today. Hopped in my truck and there's that number again from **.

Dabella hasnt fulfilled the agreement and they are not responding to my messages since the case was closed. Has been over a year since they started the job but they havent finished/fixed the poor installation. The only way DaBellas customer service contact me is every time I leave a review or opened the complaint. The area Manager **** ***** contacted me when the claim was posted and verbally agreed to send me a check with a percentage of the amount paid, (agreement on July 23). I have pictures of the messages I have sent to the manager requesting the tracking number for the check but never responded and all previous emails and conversations. Last message he responded was on Aug 13, stating that he was going to see if the tracking number was available but I havent heard back ever since. I did message on Sep 09 and again in Oct 9 but no response.
