  I paid Chappelle roofing a $5,000 deposit to start a roofing job- in which they started on January 14th. I work from home. My home is not even 5 years of age and I have invested a lot of money into the upkeep of my home. I go upstairs and there are nail holes throughout multiple areas of the upstairs- my daughters bedroom, my master bathroom, the closet, several areas where you can see nail holes- this is completely unacceptable- also the cracking in the interior has gottten worse due to the their improper installation/ I should not have my walls cracking- and separating- this house is not even 5 years of age I called the company and she said we may fix it- FIX IT- this should have never happened- I have kids and pets in this house what if a nail came through the ceiling and struck one of us was that even considered- I want my $5000 for the roof reimbursed so I can get my interior repaired as this company neglected to do their job properly- from what I was told they were using a defective nail gun- and now my interior in several rooms is damaged due to their neglect-

  We responded to the clients ****** review as well, and she has spoken with our production manager about this.  We started her roofing project today and she made the complaint, it was explained to her as why this could happen due to the vibration of installation and depending on who built house installed drywall etc all plays a part, but our roofing nails are not coming through her roof from us,and it is being installed correctly.  We are not being neglectful by any means, and she has had conversation with the production manager, and we stated we would be finishing the roof per contract, pass inspections etc before addressing any other items which again not due to neglect.  We even said we would address the interior small holes after completion of the roof.  There will not be a refund of *****, one being not that much damage, secondly, we said we would patch the little holes due to vibrations of the roof not due to our nails coming through the ceiling.  The job will be completed by contract, we will address what we need to address even though not our fault....

  We signed a contract for a new roof on August 6, 2024. The contract stated it would be complete in 3-4 days. We are at 39 days, 2 hurricanes with another on the way and one flood as of today. Chappelle Roofing ************ tore our shingles off on September 23rd. They left the roof with underlayment, but not to the *****, during both ****** and ******. We have a text thread conversation with ****** asking if they were planning to tarp the roof. He said we were fine. Since then, we have a very long thread of them blowing us off, not responding or telling us they would do something and then not doing it. For instance ****** told us he would be here this morning to take pictures of the roof. Weve waited all day for someone named ***** who still hasnt arrived at 4:47 pm. Nov 1. Chappelle is calling our roof complete, but water runs through the spots where we can see daylight. We didnt order skylights. The crew also left their trash on the party and it was full of beer bottles and cans. We want the roof completed. The material looks terrible because it was all left in our front yard during ******. Its warped and bent. This is the most unresponsive and unprofessional company *** ever had the misfortune to deal with.

  We are sorry for your experience but lets go over a few things.  You received estimates from several roofers according to your correspondence with your representative and finally signed a contract with Chappelle Roofing on 8/24/2024.  We schedule the crew to start tearing off and dry-in of your roof 9/25/2024, once the crew tore off your roof already had peel and stick underlayment therefore, we had to install synthetic so the high temp peel and stick could be installed correctly.  Your representative discussed this with you,and you approved the $2700 change order so Im not sure where the $3300 you mention came from as that isnt on your invoice anywhere. Your water heater pipe leaked previously and before the storm which the project manager discussed with you and was sealed. We replaced two sheets of decking as the rest was fine,so we replaced what we must so that it is up to code. In progress inspection was cancelled by ************** due to ***** ****** coming, so once we were able to get in progress inspection scheduled again was 10/22 and it passed if wood was rotten and bad they wouldnt have passed inspection or if was installed wrong again wouldnt have passed in progress inspection. Your roof was dried in so there was no reason to tarp, and you wouldnt let us back to property as you wanted to wait for your insurance adjuster as you called in a claim and your insurance company installed a tarp on your roof according to your messages.  You state the crew left beer bottles and cans on your property, but they werent all over your property they were inside a plastic bag in trash, you decided to dig through the trash and send photos, one could have been anyones empty containers and if was our crews could be from back of truck etc. so the implication that are crew was drinking while doing your roof absurd.  The owner does care and tried to discuss with you and come to property you didnt want us there and then stated you were obtaining legal representation, but then decided to text representative asking to send a crew out to your house. We were told not to contact her, and she is hiring an attorney then she sent a message asking when we were coming out.  The roof didnt leak due to faulty work, we had major hurricane, she wasnt overcharged,we have been back out after discussions with owner and client.  We have contacted our lawyer as well as homeowner stated they had one and we have been in contact with homeowner.

  Had the roof on or home replaced due to storm damage. The work wasnt great, some minor damage occurred, and they left a bit of mess, but it was fast and adequate enough to satisfy our insurance. We paid half down before they started and were told we were to pay the rest after Chappelle gave us a certificate of completion. One month later, we received notice that Chappelles subcontractor filed a lien on our house because Chappelle didnt pay the subcontractor.. We paid the balance, but ********* never paid the subcontractor. It has been months since we paid in full. We are being harassed by the subcontractors debt collector and cant get Chappelle on tbe phone. The owner even changed his number.

  Chappelle Roofing completed the roof work in October of 2023,a payment was made on 9/29/23.  After the roof was completed Chappelle Roofing didnt receive another payment until 12/11/23 then another one on 12/18/23, lastly the final payment was made 1/4/23.  The subcontractor was paid in full and we will provide proof of payment and make the subcontractor remove said lien as it isnt valid as again they were paid.  I am not sure what number the homeowner has been trying to call but we at the office havent received any calls, and the owner has not changed his number so again not sure what number is being called but no phone numbers from Chappelle Roofing were changed.  We will make sure this issue gets taken care of ASAP and provide the homeowner with all the proof.

  ************ signed contract with Chappelle Roofing on August 29th, 2021.  The roof was completed in September 2021.  On south roof only we were to install taper system, on the other sections it was *** roof over.  On September 30th he called said was unhappy so our representative went out finished punch out items 10/8/21 and ************ stated he would pay when he got home, which ************ paid on 10/12/2021.  Chappelle received a call and ****** our ******* Production manager called and then realized this was an **** job, so ******* our representative in **** spoke with ************ on January 10th 2024 not 2023.  ******* also spoke with ************ on January 15th 2024, and ************ didnt want him to come over as he stated it needed to be 40 degrees to fix roof properly, ******* told him at that time it wasnt going to be in the 40s until March.  ************ also spoke with ******* on January 24th,2024 and ******* let him know he was out of town and would come by when he got back to ****.  ************ wanted his fascia done however that was not included on contract nor did we give him a quote to do the work, however if ************ had that work done that company would have had to mess with the *** roof over as it laps over edges so that would not be do to Chappelles workmanship.  So, when ******* gets back to **** he will go inspect as that was communicated with ***********.  Once ******* gets back and inspects to see if a Chappelle issue we will address everyone accordingly.

  **************** signed a contract with Chappelle Roofing on October 24th, 2023 to re-roof the main roof.  It was about 5sq shingle we did not touch the carport aluminum composite roof.  We started his roofing project on 10/31/2023 and was done first November.  He called and stated it was pouring in his house and the leak was down the walls ruined his floor, he kept mentioning a ********** remote, never heard about ** until now but unless the ** unit is under his carport area, I dont see how that is possible. We went out on December 26th and explained where it was leaking,and it wasnt due to our roof, but we would go ahead and fix the transition area for him and did not charge him for the repair which was explained that was outside his scope of contract.  When the guys were there which speak English perfectly fine as ****** is our production manager so he is well versed in Spanish and English they took a photo of are you can see a small wet spot on the ceiling. There were no water marks down the walls and **************** did not show them the damaged floors while we were there, or remote or mention **.  I have attached photos of the small wet spot.  In our area we havent had much rain at all, and the spot was not leaking down to cause damage as he is claiming.  We also discounted his extras that are on our addendum he signed for double layer and wood that was used.  He paid ******* for roof was discounted the repair which again outside scope of work and discounted the additional charges.  The total amount discounted was 1800.00.  Not sure where he is coming up with ***** for damages, as one looking at photos there is no way, secondly didnt mention the floors to the guys on December 26th when they were there taking photo of ceiling and doing a repair, thirdly didnt have that much rain in that time frame which you will be able to see through photos.  **************** also mentioned to the representative that he would fix the floors and stuff he was mostly mad about his ******* remote.  So again, not sure how it goes from that and us explaining everything to turning into a BBB complaint stating false information.  *************** should have paid for repair and additional cost above contract amount which would have totaled ********, but Chappelle tried to accommodate and help so discounted it by ******** which is more than fair.

  I am rejecting this response because:  Chappelle's response is totally off base first the person that came to take photos of the damage took a lot more photos then the one little water stain that was submitted in your email and I did make it a point to make sure he saw the damage to the new laminate flooring as well as the water stains on the wall the water ran down and its not a tv remote it a a remote/thermostat for a mini split system that was destroyed by that same leak and as far as the gentleman that took the photos and did the repairs he did not speak English well at all if you would like to send a representative to see this in person instead of playing games and not seeing the facts as they truly are.

  We sent a representative thus where the photos of small wet ceiling came from.  Chappelle did a repair for free that was outside the scope of work originally.  ************** remote statement came from your original representative ***** who you called about the situation.  That is neither here nor there at this point. **************** spoke to ****** the production manager as he was explained the repair was outside scope and would be a charge.**************** didnt agree with that so Chappelle went ahead and took care of the repair anyway, which again wasnt due to Chappelles workmanship.   I am happy to send someone else out to take another look, however the facts arent going to change.  Nothing on the floor looks like severe water damage, the remote not sure on that, I know I have had batteries cause corrosion but that looks like something besides from water but again I am more than happy to send ****** the production manager who speaks English and Spanish just so we are all clear on that to take another look and explain again was not do to Chappelle.  As well as Chappelle discounted the change order on roof as well as did a repair for free. Not sure who is playing games *************** to your complaint on the BBB which I am supposed to do while stating facts.  The roof was discounted along with the free repair, not sure what else is needed to be fair.  **************** stated roof was leaking before so when was the new floor installed, also where did **************** keep the remote while it was leaking before?  He states in same area it was leaking but yet previous leak didn't ruin the remote?  This is just going back and forth, I will send ****** out if **************** would like and take a look.  

   

  Let me know how he would like to proceed

  I had some missing shingles after ***. My insurance company said the roof could be repaired and Chappelle Roofing felt the roof needed to be replaced. Chappelle roofing stated they would handle everything with USAA. I was asked to sign an agreement that they could represent me to the insurance co. I did not get a copy of what I signed nor did anyone explain to me it was a contract for Chappelle Roofing to provide service. During the next 6 months, USAA came out 3 more times to inspect the roof. All the 3 estimates did not meet my deductible. During this time I made many calls to Chappelle for information.These calls were never returned. On 03/16/23 I called again to explore me replacing the roof. I ended up firing them. I felt like I couldn't work with a company that was not going to include me in the process. I never heard from Chappelle Roofing after this phone call. In April I started interviewing Roofers. On 05/10/23 my roof was replaced with me paying$35,650 to Red Dog's Roofing. On 6/22/23 I received a text from USAA stating my claim was closed and 2 checks were written: $3500 to the lawyer and $24,500 to Chappelle Roofing. I contacted USAA and told them that I fired Chappelle Roofing in March. **** told me they had been sued. On 7/10/23 I contacted ************************* (the attorney where the checks were sent) . He agreed to contact ***** Chappelle (the owner) and get back with me. Eventually he stopped responding to my calls or texts. By 7/21/23 both checks had been cashed. Chappelle Roofing took the $24.500 for doing nothing. This money should be used to help offset my out of pocket costs. No one is returning my calls. In my opinion Chappelle Roofing's decision to keep this money is dishonest and certainly not ethical. I would avoid using Chappelle Roofing at all costs.

  Chappelle Roofing went to Mrs. ********** residence on 10/24/2022 as she was referred to us. USAA determined repair and not replacement it is at that time Chappelle stepped in and she decided to sign and Assignment of Benefits.  Chappelle tarped her roof and collected $****** at that time.  Chappelle did the line items estimate per the software insurance companies us and sent everything we are required to send to the insurance carrier and the law office we use in these situations.  An appointment with the adjuster was made in December, however he cancelled as he was sick.  ****************, the representative at the time,along with the law office was trying to get it rescheduled and this was stated in an email to *********************** on 1/30, then again with adjusters information on 2/13.  ******************** replied to that email on 2/15 saying thanks for the update. She did call in March and we reached out to the law office for an update as Chappelle can not control the long process that it sometimes takes, so we had no update to give at the time of her call except that we are trying to see where the insurance was at with the law office. There is a process to cancel the *** and that was not followed, and we have no record of ********************* cancelling. On 3/26 we finally received an update from the law office stating they intended to file, and we called ********************** She called on 4/6 wondering if she had to use Chappelle Roofing and again was explained the *** at that time and the process. Chappelle finally received a settlement offer on 6/14/23 and everything was finalized.  *********************** also received generated emails through our CRM system when we moved the job forward.  Her daughter called and told us she had it done by another roofing company on 7/25/23. ********************* got her roof done in May 2023 and Chappelle did not find out. Chappelle tarped the roof, created all proper documentation to submit to insurance,worked with the legal team to get a settlement, was in contact with *********************** and got the claim settled so there was plenty of work done regarding this claim.  On 7/26 Chappelle wrote an email to *********************** stating it has come to our attention she got her roof done with another contractor during the period of time we were negotiating settlement with ***************** pursuant to the *** agreement you executed with us.  Please understand that your decision to have your roof replaced with another contractor despite our agreement reflects a breach of contract.  In a good faith attempt to resolve this issue we are sending back your $500 deposit you put down towards your deductible and when you are ready for Chappelle Roofing to replace your roof as agreed.  Please feel free to reach out any time to schedule your roof replacement by Chappelle Roofing LLC. Also attached to the email was *** agreement for her records in case she no longer has a copy of the same in her possession. Let her know check would be sent out certified mail to the address on file. She emailed back as the attachment wasnt attached, we apologized and resent it over. She replied to the email on 7/28/23 about her concerns and an email was sent back on 8/1/23 explaining the situation again, and stating that the *** is clear in that all cancellations must be in writing submitted to Chappelle Roofing, and we assure that Chappelle is not pocketing the benefits negotiated through confidential settlement proceeding with her insurance company and that although the *** agreement replaces your roof with us in regard to the rights to the claim and in an effort to continue working with her in good faith we are refunding the portion of deductible she paid to us and told her she has the right and authority to request a roof replacement whenever she may need one.  Chappelle isnt pocketing the settlement it is set aside for Mrs. ********** roofing project when she is ready according to all documentation.  So, the claim and complaint that it is not ethical and dishonest isnt the case, Chappelle was never informed we werent doing the roof there has been contact, however we will apologize if not as much as she needed however, we cant control the process and Chappelle refunded her ****** she paid towards her deductible.  After the last email on 8/1/23 we have not heard from *********************** as we explained everything to her.  Again, when she is ready, we are ready to replace her roof.

  Regarding the roofing project located at ***************************************************************. The roof was stripped down to the cedar shake after discussing it first with the homeowner from our previous employee, ********************The homeowner did not want to pay the added difference of the change order for the increased cost on her roof for it being 5 layers. The quoted contract was for the removal of a shingle roof and not a cedar shake roof. When the homeowner was informed of the increased cost, she refused to pay the change order. We cannot leave a roof torn off and uncovered, therefore the shingles had to be laid. She is refusing to pay us for the work and the change order. As a resolution, we told her that we would tear off the roof completely, down to the usable decking, if she is willing to pay us necessary amount for the scope of her project. After trying to work with the homeowner and resolve this issue,instead she is now threatening us with options that do not make any logical sense. Chappelle responded to **** state which homeowner sent complaint too with all documentation. We do not have a problem tearing off the shingle roof that is currently there, which at this point is an emergency tarp for water intrusion mitigation, only if she is willing to pay the contract amount to include the change order amount that is necessary to cover our costs. This was clearly outlined in the addendum that was provided in which she signed upon signing of the shingle contract.  Again, the state has a complaint and Chappelle responded to that with all documentation.  If anything, else is needed let us know.

  His reply to my text message - reminding him again and again on what our contract entails ) which is "TEAR OFF COMPLETELY" and all he said was  ( Kadra they need to move their car) didnt say anything about the cost of removing FIVE Layers according to the message I received yesterday) ( please see the attached text message on April 1st

  April 3rd ( please see the attached text message) : I requested the following ( proof of payment to sub-contracts , complete tear off pictures and other documents related to the document) - No reply from *********;

   

  Note: at this point - I lost trust in him since he didnt want to send me a proof of complete tear off and also a proof that it has passed the inspection before I make any payment.  So I hired a third inspector to inspect the property and the results indicated what I was afraid would happen ( which says still Multiple layers -not complete tear off) . Two days later I got another bad news from the city inspector saying Unfortunately, the roof failed the inspection- because the contractor did not "Tear off existing shingles" as agreed in the contract ( ( please see the attached document 2:3 condition Roof inspection) 

   

  on April 7th ( please see the attached text message) : 
  I sent a text message to **** " About the failed inspection"  and what's our next step ( please see the attached images)

  Last text message I exchanged with **** was on May 9th the day he got fired ( ( please see the attached text message : Date May 9th @ 9:59 am)

  I have also attached a the inspection Report from the 3rd Party
  2.3 Condition of Roof Covering Material: Roof appears to be installed correctly. Does not appear to be a complete tear off. There are multiple layers on the roof. Flat portion of the roof was not replaced.

  
  Note: I did not want to make the payment because Chappelle Roofing breach the contract by not doing what we agreed on . As of now the roof did not pass the city inspection.

  I'm surprised that this customer is stating that we are not attempting to resolve this situation. We offered her what she asked for and she went silent for 3 months since that offer to abide by her request. Then all of a sudden we are being surprised by a BBB complaint stating that we didn't make this right, and we were never unresponsive to the homeowner. The offer to satisfy your demands can be made to **** at our **** location at **************. The city inspector and attorney general were notified of the situation and our attempt to resolve this matter.

  I am rejecting this response. I have not become unresponsive it was the other way around. I have spoken to the city inspector and he stated that Chappelle roofing has to honor the contract.  I have shared my communication between me and the subcontractor that you fired as a proof.  What is the next step ? Either you let me go and I hire someone else to fix the problem that you created. Or you honor the contract agreement without a any cost .

  The homeowner is providing photos of a text conversation with bias towards her favor and not the entirety of the text conversation that show both sides. Still ignoring the face of the glaring issue at hand here, which is the refusal to honor her contractual obligation clearly listed in her signed contract and refusal to acknowledge and pay for the increased cost of her roof. She has only paid her initial 10% deposit, which doesn't even come close to the costs incurred, and is refusing to pay for the increased cost of her roof clearly listed in her signed addendum.  If she is willing to pay for the tear off and installation of her new roof, we will get it done before end of year. She refused to pay her change order and she was in direct breach of her contractual obligation listed on her signed addendum acknowledging contract amount changes due to unforeseen circumstances, such as, additional layers of roofing. As you can see in the photos the roof looks great and we are willing to tear that roof off and put a new roof if she is willing to pay for it. Again, she was in direct violation of her signed contract by refusing to pay her change order and is now attempting to avoid paying entirely.

  There was never any work done on the homeowners fascia metal and never any damage reported to the fascia metal by the homeowner during the roof replacement process. She will probably report the other contractor to the BBB to get more free work done. Homeowner refusing to work with us and come to an agreement, not sure what else can be done as all attempts to contact her are being ignored and she is unwilling to come to settlement

  I am rejecting this response because the Chappelle Roofing has damaged my property. I have provided tons of evidence including text message which I exchanged with the manager and pictures as a proof . I have attached some pictures of the roof that was falling apart. Keep in mind that the roof did not pass the city inspection nor the private inspector to due to breach of a contract. I really do not appreciate how they talk down on women- when did i ever ask you for free stuff - what makes you think I ask for free things? I believe this company is taking advantage of low income communities - I have read a lot of reviews regarding their misconduct. Please see the attached images.

  On 9/27/22 we suffered roof damage due to Hurricane ***. On 10/25/22 my husband signed paperwork with Chappelle to repair the roof. When the paperwork was signed they wrote down the wrong email address and no one caught it so we never received a copy of the paperwork. They did not collect money from us at this time. Afterwards, we could not get an estimate of the cost to repair the roof. Their salesman, *********************** keep telling him his legal team was tryin to settle things with the insurance company, which didn't make sense since they already paid a settlement. This went on for months. Now we are almost nine months latter with holes in our roof. I called to tell them we were going to move on, they said that we couldn't because they have a claim on supplement's from the insurance company and they will not release it. Come to find out they told us they would charge us about $20,000 but they sent a quote for $43,000 to the insurance company. After many harassing emails, I will not allow this company on my property. I am just asking that they release their claim on the supplements so I can move on and get my roof fixed. In their contract it states we have the right to cancel if the assignee has not substantially performed and they have not.

  On 10/25/22 ****************** signed an Assignment of Benefits which was sent to the insurance carrier along with line-item estimate using same software insurance companies use. This was explained several times to ***************** when he asked ****************** for updates, as ****************** works right next door to Chappelle so in the early mornings he would talk to *******************  The emails always went through on our side so Chappelle didnt know email was wrong until brought to light later.  The Lebuffes received payment for their roof in November 2022 and deposited the money as Chappelle wasnt listed on check.  Chappelle reached out after that saying we needed a color and contract paperwork signed to be able to pull permit and complete roof and first check from insurance as was meant for the roof.  We received nothing and it was discussed as they were concerned about coming up with their deductible.  Also was explained of how insurance works we send estimate, insurance sends theirs and come up with an agreement in between.  Chappelle could have easily completed the Lebuffes roof back in December when we got word, they received the first check and didnt let us know.  We had reached out several times, then heard from ****************** who yelled and screamed stating we arent touching her roof, at that time Chappelle stated it was fine and she could cancel her ***.  ****** had recently called ****************** he stated we needed to talk to his wife so ****** called her and left a voicemail stating to call me back because we can order materials and complete the roof however no call was returned.  This review isnt necessary or relevant as we dont have a claim on the Lebuffes roof. She cancelled the **** and she was paid directly from the insurance back in November.  They absolutely got all the paperwork ***************** signed as the email was corrected in January which we have been discussing and emailing them to pay and pick a color to move forward.  All this being said the main point is she cancelled so not really sure why the review. Again, when Chappelle found out in December that they deposited the insurance money we reached out and tried to have them pick a color and all the many mornings ****************** spoke with ****************** there was no mention of them receiving a check, this could of all been handled back then.  ****** there were some misunderstandings and for that Chappelle apologizes, but this should all be settled now as the *** was cancelled and the homeowner can hire whoever they want to complete the roof.  We also offered to still do the roof clearly the Lebuffes dont want Chappelle to do their roof and that isnt a problem.  Hope this clears things up for everyone involved. ..

  This company damaged my stucco and will not even have a conversation. I owe my final installment and that is all they are concerned about. I told them I was more than willing to pay- I just wanted my concerns addressed. The staff was rude and argumentative- not allowing me to speak and talking over me. Specifically ******. The damaged stucco is where my garage and house meet and my concern is leaking during rainy season.

  Chappelle roofing completed the roofing project per our contract with client.  All inspections were passed from the ******************.  The customer did send an email through the automated email system on our CRM on 3/14 stating there were a couple issues and please call, however that email doesnt go to anyone directly so that was missed.  ***** did speak with *************** on 3/16 and she was upset and stating we didnt care about her just wanted her money etc. ****** then picked up the call and was nice asking how can she help, *************** was extremely rude and stated dont act like we are her friend and started being argumentative.  So, after a little time of an unpleasant conversation both parties listened to each other, and a crew was sent out on 3/16 to address the shingles that were little uneven on the ledge. The crew trimmed them as client was told they would be. They also took photos of the stucco she is talking about.  As told to her on the phone Chappelle would take a look at the stucco but on contract it does state Chappelle Roofing isnt liable for any stucco damages that *** occur during roof removal.  The stucco was down to the original shingles and when removed it sometimes breaks off the stucco as we are careful as we can be it is an unforeseen issue that we cant control.  We also spoke about those are also punch out items and payment cant be withheld as per contract states.  To recap we spoke with *************** on 3/16/23,we sent a crew out yesterday to trim what she asked to be trimmed up on shingles and told her we would take photos of stucco to see if anything we can help with but per contract Chappelle isnt liable.

  I called Chappelle Roofing to check a leak in my ceiling almost one full year ago. I simply wanted a minor roof repair but Chappelle Roofing coerced me with high pressure sales to allow them to file a claim directly with my insurance with a lot of verbal promises, for instance I would pay nothing out of pocket, which they now deny but I wouldve never allowed them to continue with the claim if I knew it would cost over $2500 plus late fees and take almost a full year for them to settle. I have since done research and realized I made a big mistake because Chappelle Roofing is a contributing factor to the insurance problem we have in ******* by pushing for insurance claims. I want to cancel my contract and Im even willing to pay a penalty but nobody at a Chapelle returns my emails or phone calls. Their customer service is atrocious.

  When Chappelle Roofing went to Mrs. ******* house on 3/16/22 at 3:00 pm to address her leak we discovered a repair wasnt an option as she had damage all on her roof, which we tarped the problem where the leak was occurring and chalked up the roof for insurance.  She signed an AOB with Chappelle Roofing to help with her insurance claim.  Now the no cost out of pocket is not something we state as it is the law that homeowners pay their deductible.  We surely didnt coerce her into signing anything, damage was pointed out and she signed.  All that being said her deductible is **** which by law she is responsible to pay, no one ever stated late fees as we wouldnt charge late fees since we havent started building her roof yet.  We take offensive to stating we are a contributing factor to the insurance problems in ******* when we definitely are not.  ********************** doesnt falsify claims or make up damage now if it is a legit claim that is one thing.  We have spoken to ***************** several times on multiple occasions.  We also emailed her informing her it was going to be taken to legal as she got denied unfairly and there was photo proof which we sent all documentation over.  We also went to fix tarp before the hurricane and put vulkem around the pipe boot to help prevent further damage the best we could.  An email was sent on 9/29, the day after the storm checking on ***************** and to see how the tarp held up.  She replied still out of town she would let us know when she returned.  She emailed on 9/30 saying tarp balled up but ceiling looked the same as before. There have been emails since then and many phone calls from our staff and we tried to explain several times we needed the funds to be able to start the roof.  When we spoke with her last couple times, she was aggressive about paying the deductible and saying we should work with her. ***************** emailed Mr. ********************** on 2/8 at 1:53 pm then wrote a bad BBB review at 2:18 pm which doesnt leave him much time to reply, however he did respond to her at 2:43 pm which was before we even got notified that there was a complaint, we got notified at 2:56 pm. ***************** then emailed Mr. ********************** at 3:03 pm.  Mr. ********************** called ***************** to discuss and explain he has been working on her case, calling insurance and legal. She has had the checks and he explained to her we cant start any project unless we have funds for materials and labor.  Mr.********************** also set up a time on 2/9/2023 to meet her to go over paperwork and have her sign an updated contract with color choices also to collect check to move forward on her roofing project.  She also stated she would remove this complaint, and this is why we waited to respond however ***************** did not do so, thus why we are replying now.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
  

  However I would like to state for the record that they are accusing me of lying and that couldnt be further from the truth and I could not remove the complaint as agreed until Chappelle responded. 
  
  Sincerely,
