I signed a contract for $7,900 on August 16th, 2024 to have a roof ***lacement with Valor Home. I gave a deposit of $2,600 with the balance of $5,300 to be paid on completion of work. On August 24th, while the work was being performed, I received a phone call from someone off site advising I had two layers of shingles. I was told that would raise the price by $900. I told the caller i wasn't informed of this when i signed the contract. I was told they have no way of knowing if their are two layers of shingles until the work started and he was sorry. I paid the additional money because of my fear they would leave my roof in a half completed state. The sales *** didn't go on the roof during the estimate because he said could see everything he needed from photos and looking in my attic. The sales *** called that day of the install and apologized for his mistake. I called the office to complain and again received great apologies and was told to send an email to Mr ******* with my concerns. I have not heard back from anyone about my complaint and concerns. The *** told me they "have their own employees", but pay them with a ***** because the workers prefer it. I thought that a strange way to tell me you use your own employees. It became clear why he answered that way when vehicles marked "***************" came to perform the work. Part of my choice in using Valor was that are a local company employing veterans. The work performed was fine, but my educated guess is these workers are not veterans. They low balled the estimate, and then raised the price over 10% halfway through the work. They are also being deceptive in who does the work and who their employees are. Everyone i spoke to is sorry and filled with remorse. I feel they extorted $900 dollars out of me.Business Response

The complete contract signed by ***** ******** is attached, page 7of10 states in line #2 that one layer of material is included in his contract and includes the added cost for additional layers. All of these docs were in Mr. ********* possession 8 days prior to installation. Mr. ******** was contacted when the additional layer was discovered during install and informed of the added cost. The added cost includes labor and disposal of the extra items at the landfill. Finding extra layers of roofing is common in the industry, you only know about the extras layers after demolition starts. There was no deception used by Valor Home, all of info is included in the signed contract.
Valor Home does employee their own crews, as well as sub contractors. We also employee veterans. I'm not sure how this has anything to do with the added cost of the extra layer in the complaint.

Better Business Bureau:True, it is in the contract. I should have gone through it more thoroughly. If the sales *** would have mentioned it as opposed to showing videos of how magnanimous Valor is, or if someone would have answered my phone call or email, this could have been avoided. The sub-contractor has nothing to do with my complaint, that was a separate issue. I asked specifically if Valor used their own employees and was told yes. That was one of the factors in deciding to use them, that they use their own employees. Even though they did a fine job, and I have no complaint about them or their work, I'm going out on a limb to say none of the employees of *************** are veterans.
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
Sincerely,

In 2018 I had a new roof installed with a 50 year warrantee from Valor Home at a cost of ~$1900. About 3 months ago I contacted them to show signs of rot under my roof where it appears the lower course of shingles were not installed flat on the roof, creating a "J" or "C" cupping effect on the roof that projects water across the gutters, wrapping around and dripping into my eves. This has caused significant wood rot over the last few years. I contacted Valor and they first sent a Gutter company out to tell me I need all new gutters. Then then sent a vinyl company out to say I need new vinyl on my soffits. Finally they sent a project manager from valor out who said the roof was installed properly and that the issue is the gutter corners not properly maintained. During my initial contact with Valor, I specifically asked about the gutter placement and the gentlemen from Valor said the gutters were just fine, no need to do anything for the roof to be properly installed. I am asking for the roof to be replaced so it is properly installed with gutters placed properly if that is the issue. Photos clearly show the lower course of shingles are not flat, thus the installers (workmanship that is covered for 50 years is the issue.) Since the roof is not properly installed, I am asking for a replacement.Business Response

Valor Home completed the contracted work for this customer over the summer of 2018. On 3/14/2023, Project Managers for Valor Home met with the complainant to review the areas of concern. After reviewing the shingle and confirming installation was done correctly in 2018, our Project Manager informed the complainant that the issue was caused by the gutters and leaf covering. The gutters and accessories were not installed or included in the contractual agreemnet with the complainant. Valor Home at this point informed the complainant of the issues and gave our advise on how to fix the issue. Since the gutters and accessories were not included in our 2018 contract, Valor Home holds no responibity to include these items in our warranty. Attached is a copy of the original contract from 2018 showing a check mark on line 10 marked "no" next to gutters, and no notation of any gutter related items in the description field.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: (Detailed response in attached word document).Reasons I reject response:
1. Valor contacted me about satisfaction, instructed me to engage them to be satisfied with work - they initiated contact.
2. Valor sent a crew to the house, confirmed the gutters should have been lowered at installation, we had agreement valor would fix and gutter crew started work by removing gutter guards.
3. Valor then sent me an estimate and i agreed to a price, later they determined that was for only one area, not all 5 corners, next estimate was 5 times the cost to me to repair, valor was going to cover the same amount for 5 corners that they agreed to pay for fixing 1, this did not seem fair/equitable at all.
4. Valor sent someone who was not in authority to make an agreement like I asked and he threatened me with defamation law suit if I showed the photos of my roof and confirmed what he said in my home and now what is documented in the last response from valor that they believe the roof is proper despite also saying in the same response that the gutters need to be lowered.If Valor not going to honor warrantee, request a full refund so I can hire the proper contractors to fix the rotten wood, place the gutters properly and replace the roof that is not laying flat ... I was hoping BBB can facilitate a 3rd party who is impartial to review our different perspectives and recommend an equitable resolution ... I am trying my best to avoid legal engagement, but based on these exchanges it appears that may be my only course of action if we can't find common ground.

Subject: Complaint ID ******** - Arbitration Request
To: <[email protected]>Hello Arlene,I did not see an area where I could answer directly to the latest request for BBB arbitration but I wanted to reply within the 10 day notice. Valor Home has always maintained the roofing shingle installed is not causing the issue, it's the existing gutters which are causing the issue. The pictures provided by Valor Home and the complainant (***** *******) show this in the current state. Therefore, the work done by Valor Home is completed correctly and to GAF standards. The areas of rotten wood on ***** *******'s home are due to being 25 years old and not properly maintained, which is not covered in our service warranty.At this point Valor Home respectfully declines to BBB arbitration with ***** ******* based on the claim not being covered by our service warranty, our contract including an arbitration clause, and the period of time since the roof was originally installed. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks for your time.Jack PullinsVP/Partner of ProductionInitial Complaint

Valor Home installed our new vinyl siding in April 2022. There were issues from the start (delivered wrong product, cut Internet, damaged property) but the most pressing that still impacts us today is that since installation, pieces of siding have been separating from the house or falling off entirely. This first happened 2 weeks after installation and up to five times now (nearly once a month since and as recently as a few days ago). We have repeatedly complained and despite nearly begging, no one has come out to fully inspect our home or the work that was done. Instead, Valor has been making temporary repairs that don't work. Valor has used nails to repair these spots but they fail again shortly thereafter. We have tried to get in touch with the CEO or owners but are prevented from communicating with anyone other than their Project & Safety Director who does not always respond. We contracted with Valor because I am a retired Marine Corps officer and we liked what they stood for and the work they did for disabled vets and Gold Star families. Before installation the installation crew inspected our house and when we told them there was no plywood underneath, they assured us that it wouldn't be a problem because they have done hundreds of houses like ours, even ones in our neighborhood. Now Valor claims the siding is coming off because our house isn't "plumb and square" and they need to have the manufacturer (CertainTeed) inspect our house to "figure out what's going wrong," but after nearly 6 months that hasn't happened. We are current with all payments under the contract but believe they are in breach. All we want is our siding not to buckle and fall off; it seems Valor's installation was substandard and poorly done. This is unnecessarily stressful and we constantly worry our siding will fail at any moment damaging our home. We have no trust Valor will repair anything now. Please investigate and resolve this so our siding stays on the house per the contract.Business Response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/10/28) */ Valor Home responds to all service call requests. We have a process and procedure in place for these type of issues to be resolved. We replied to Mr. ********** in a timely manner as well as sent several text messages to him. We consulted our Vendor, *********** who has determined the issue and has a date to physically repair the residence. *********** will be out at Mr. **********'s residence on November 2, 2022. Valor Home will have their Project Manager on site as well for the installation. All installers at Valor Home are certified by ***********. All construction companies handle service calls. Valor Home is no exception. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/10/31) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) Valor's response does not change the fact multiple pieces of siding have been falling off & it is the first time we are learning that *********** "has determined the issue" & "has a date to physically repair the residence." Even though Valor has texted & called in the past, Valor did not tell us this information, didn't tell us what *********** determined, & didn't tell us *********** will be out to our house or when that would happen, let alone that they will be there "on November 2, 2022." We welcome *********** & Valor coming out to inspect & repair our siding this week, but no one told us or has given us a time; seems like it took a BBB complaint to make that happen. This is more than merely "responding to a service call;" it is a lack of communication keeping us informed & the installation of a product that keeps falling off the house without explanation to the customer. And we still haven't heard from the CEO or any of the owners to discuss Valor's deficiencies in order to improve. Hopefully the *********** inspection/repairs will fix & resolve, at least, once & for all, the installation issues so our siding doesn't keep falling off.
