Customer ReviewsforBill Walther Construction & Roofing, Inc.

Bill Walther Roofing is the worst company that we have ever worked with. Our shingled roof failed inspection 5 times; it took them close to 6 months to finally complete the house roof, lanai and patio roof. The lanai and patio failed two times. This company is disorganized and changes their business practices after a contract has been signed in attempt to receive more money. Promises are made but never kept. Chuck Walther will lie directly to your face and flat out deny it. He is a bully. He tries to take advantage of the elderly in 55+ communities. We strongly urge anyone considering hiring this company to think twice because they talk a good game but the work is fair at best.

Arcadia building department was originally letting us pull permits without engineering and then they changed it during the time of us doing the job. This roof among 3 others got failed because they needed engineering which we were not made aware of at first. As soon as we were notified, we made sure to fix the job with engineering. There was a leak in the carport, and we came out and fixed the ridge cap to stop the problem as soon as we were made aware of it. When we fixed the roof, we fixed it according to how the roof was originally; however, due to new wind load requirements since the original structure was done, we had to add an extra beam and bolts. The failed inspection was not due to the roof being done improperly, but because of new requirements from the engineer and county to strengthen the structure for future hurricanes. We had to order extra material to do this, which the customer knew would incur more cost. This customer paid in full, and then stopped payment on the check after giving it to us. Most of these issues were out of our control and at the disgression of the Desoto County building department and the sealed set of engineered plans. The shingle portion of the roof failed the first time because the inspector thought we nailed shingles over a metal deck on a mobile home. Glen met the inspector on the job and showed him it was plywood. The second time the inspector said we put shingles on a low pitch, so we met him out there again and our pitch gage showed him it was a 3/12 which was not a low pitch. The third time we removed shingles to show him that the peel and stick covered the area under the eave metal. Regardless he still wanted all rake edges to be removed so he could see the under layment which was all correct when it was showed to him.
