  In May 2023 we paid in full for our roof installation. The crew disconnected the guy wires supporting the electrical mast on our roof and left them hanging. We notified Clyde Johnson company and they assured us they would reimburse us. The mast was bent. FPL inspection dictated entire mast needed to be replaced by electrician. The cost was $1764.25. Although we agreed to accept $750.00, Clyde Johnson has not reimbursed us for any of the repair as of the date of this complaint...5 months later. Calls are not returned and frustration is growing. What an awful way to conduct business.

  If the company does not send the check do I need to initiate a new complaint or use this one?

  On or about 11/3/2021 I entered into and executed a contract with Clyde Johnson Contracting & Roofing, Inc., to install a new roof on my 91 year old mother's home. The first installment was paid on 11/15/21 to Clyde Johnson Contracting & Roofing, Inc. They begin working on the roof on 2/8/22 and advised the work was competed 2 days later on 2/10/22. Upon my inspection of the completed work the job was not completed correctly per the contract. They also forged her signature on documents to obtain a completed inspection by the inspectors for the ***************** and is now preventing my now 93 year old mother from ascertaining homeowners insurance. I reached out to advise that the work was not completed per the contract entered into. I spoke to both *** and ***** Johnson to resolve this issue. At that time both agreed to fix the roof correctly per the executed contract, however to date nothing has been done to correct their breach of contract. No one has reached out to me since to correct this, however I am receiving bills from them for an incomplete job. I even filed a Complaint with DBPR to resolve this matter and this company lied and said the job was completed correctly, when in actuality it was not. This company has taken advantage of a 93 year old woman and refuses to correct their wrong doing. Her home is unable to be insured at this time due to their lack of professionalism. I have reached out through other resources to try and get this resolved without court action, however I have been unsuccessful. This company needs to finish the job correctly per the contract entered into by the parties so that my mother can obtain homeowners insurance.

  I hired this company based on good recommendations, however, that was one of the worst decisions ever made. How can a company's service go down the drain so fast? Is it the crews they send to different projects? Whatever it is, I am stuck with a roof that is not complete, and they are asking for the remainder of the money. The roof is missing tiles, leaking in several spots, now going through the drywall into the ceiling, so the damage is done. They promised to fix the screen they damaged, and clean up after themselves. The metal roof tiles are bent, some are missing, and not installed right. It is strange and disturbing how the roof even passed the inspection. One may only surmise the pictures sent to the engineer are from good parts. There is only radio silence. It is very hard to get someone when you need to. It appears the staff in the office is helpful, but when it comes to project managers you find yourself thrown in different directions. There is absolute miscommunication, and no sense of responsibility or urgency. Several people pass the ball to each other, and even disagree on how things need to be done. They are unprofessional and sloppy, messy, and at this point I shall add low quality of workmanship. I had been thinking to hire them to add gutters, but that is not a mistake I'll be making.

  Good morning ******, 

  Our sincerest apologies for the current state of your roof. We had full trust that our roofing crew was experienced and skilled enough to install your roof. Unfortunately, the outcome was not as expected, but our company is taking full responsibility for the work and damage. We had our project manager go out to the property on August 8th, 2023, to inspect all aspects of the roof and the leak which you are aware, since you authorized and provided access. You are very well aware that we as a company are making the effort to correct our mistakes. We have a punch list and will successfully fulfill every line item listed. 

  This workmanship is far from our expectations and standards, but we truly apologize. We have been in contact with you many times in regards to the roof and ensured that we will be taking care of the roof. *** and ******** have been working together with scheduling a day for metal crew to go out and complete the punch list. 

  Please give our office a call at #************ for further questions or concerns as we are available 8am - 5pm, Monday through Friday. 

  Thank you!

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I am waiting for the crew to come back. If everything is fixed to satisfaction, I shall update my answer. It is true that someone finally looked at the house, and I mentioned such, after a month or so trying not to get my concerns brushed aside. The time before that, someone came in just to take pictures, and had no idea about roofing. Soon after he left, in less than 10 minutes, ** said the roof is finished. 

  So, again, respectfully, my answer will change when the roof and damages are finished, and to satisfaction.

  
  Sincerely,

  I would like to escalate my complaint to requesting my money back, that I have already paid for. This company has breached the contract and has yet to show up to fix the leaks. There is now a new leak that showed up in the upstairs ceiling. I have notified them of this fact, I was told they'd take care of, yet nothing. We are now facing a tropical storm, with a Category 3 Hurricane, and a leaking roof. The longer we wait, the more damage will be done. There were promises that part of the roof will be replaced, but, again, only promises.

  At this point, I have absolutely no trust that they will be doing a better job than they did in the first place. There were told several times to cover holes, and they didn't. Even if we do wait, how long will it be? Until another hurricane, or next year?

  For all these reasons and more, I am requesting the money I paid back. The job is not done, yet the county was told that it was finished. 

  If I don't receive the money back, I shall pursue further legal action.

  I have received no response from the company.  For the moment, I can give them another chance to finish the roof, however I am requesting for them to do the courtesy of adding gutters to my house. I have to also cover for the cost of hiring an independent inspector, not to mention all the time, and trouble I've received. Therefore, I consider it more than a fair offer.

  I would ask them to please respond asap. I'd greatly appreciate it.

  Good afternoon, 

   

  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you. As we have stated before we have not refused to correct or repair any of the issues you have presented. We answer when the homeowner calls, and we have ordered the necessary material to correct all the issues with per *********************************** who is a PM of ours. We are owning up to this situation and taking full responsibility. To be clear and 100% transparent - we will not be refunding any money back as we are correcting all items addressed and fulfilling the contract between the customer and CJC.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  I will, therefore, await for people to show up. 

  When I get messages that someone will be right over, it does not actually happen. Therefore, I'll see when will actually someone will show up. I also expect to not have the same engineer who incorrectly passed the roof due to pictures sent to them. I would need an independent inspector, unless the previous engineer comes out himself and inspects, as he had previously said he would, but did not. 

  These back and forth where people are sent who do not know what is going on, is unacceptable. Please pick the correct crew and project manager to come over. I do not have the luxury of having my own business, and responding whenever. The phone calls due to mismanagement has caused me to get in trouble at work for having the phone on me, awaiting your call.

  This has been nothing but a disaster. Therefore, I'm reserving judgement, and expecting a satisfactory resolution as soon as possible. 

  
  Sincerely,

  I am writing an update with regards to this project. I have not had any communication from anyone coming out to fix anything.

  Additionally, I have hired a forensic inspector that I had to pay out of pocket. Many of the findings revealed improper flashing installation in several spots, poor workmanship and water damage due to leaks which have yet to be fixed while it now endangers the structure. 

  At this point, I am at a loss as to what it will take for this project to be corrected.

  The most recent update given by the project manager on this claim is that all items have been resolved and the Mold Inspector that was hired by the homeowner has confirmed that the home is clear of mold. 

  Customer response

  11/17/2023

  The company fixed the leak damage ultimately, and finally the roof is done. Upon receiving independent inspections on the roof and the wet walls, I consider the work/matter to be closed to satisfaction. I expect to receive a paid invoice final receipt. 

  Thank you.

The office could not find any *** signed (it was part of the signed contract sent with the check). then in the following week I received a total of 3 *** on different occasions via email to sign. I called back to ask why do I need to keep signing the same form over so many times. No one knew or had an answer or a date to start.
