Business ProfileforBison Roofing and Construction Co.

I own a 100 year old church. We have been saving up to remodel it. Due to small leaks primarily in the school side I decided to address the roof first. I contracted Bison roofing to reroof the church side, add a missing roof on the front canopy and marry the school roof with the church roof. This would give me just one company in the event of any issues. The cost was approximately $25,000. During the church resurfacing they stated there was several layers and removing it was an added fee. Then, that some wood was damaged. Due to budgets we chose to replace the rotten wood only and not the entire roof. Bison replaced approximately 30% of the roof with new plywood and resurfaced the entire roof with new shingles. During the scope of their work and when the building was cut open they never mentioned any structure concerns. They did not feel a need to request a structural engineer to ensure the roof was sound even when replacing rotten wood nor did they review with a third party that cutting into 100 year old tongue and grove and replacing it with plywood would not weaken the structure. They did not request a city inspection during the process and at completion. The permit was for resurfacing and did not reference modifying the structure with plywood. Bison Roofing finished the project late May and our roof collapsed in July. I have reached out to Mr. Luera and Mr. Montelongo and they have not provided me with their insurance information claiming in their professional assessment they did not cause the collapse. I’m not an expert and this is clearly not my area of expertise. I would like to file so a third party can determine cause of the collapse and remedy it. We currently have a roof collapse that can worsen and create a full building collapse. Due to damages the building sustained we were force to close our business and do not have the financial means to pay a third party to evaluate.
