  Hired them in March of 2022 to do our attic: take out our fiberglass insulation, air seal the attic, and blow in cellulose insulation. They finally finished the job in March 2023 after coming 6 times, caused damage to our property: broke our storm door twice and ruined the weather stripping on the door twice, ruined the corner of our living room base board, didnt clean up their messes and dust, caused water damage and black mold in our attic with their negligence. After one of their last trips up into our attic to FINALLY fix things, I noticed a shadow on our living room ceiling, and they didnt know what happened. Fast forward a month later and a giant crack extended across the living room because someone on the crew stepped off ********* in our attic, and broke our ceiling drywall. This nearly came crashing down in half of our living room (July 2023). So the damages have surpassed a year of their original work. Larson reimbursed us partially and has tried to "fix" things, I've lost track of how many times crews have come in and out. I want a full refund at this point! The pictures uploaded are the RECENT images. I have hundreds of other pictures over the course of the year.

  This was a new experience for us at Larson Home Services.   Over the past 15 years we have worked with thousands of homeowners.   In fact we have over ****** customers and I would go as far as saying hundreds of homeowners have signed up to do a project and canceled the project for one reason or another.   This has never been a problem for us, wether they cancel the next day the next week, or the next month we always return 100% off the down payment and wish them the best of luck.  

  This situation however is completely different.   ***************** signed a contract with Larson Home Services on 2/8/2023 to get some home performance work completed on his home.  On 2/14/2023 we called ****************** to schedule the work on his home.  We all agreed on 2/23/2023 for the work to be started, so on that same day we ordered the dumpster to be delivered to ********************** property.   We then ordered all of the material to be used on the job and had it all delivered to our shop.  On 2/22/2023 the dumpster was delivered to ********************** property.   On the morning of 2/23/2023 our 3 crew members assigned to Mr. ******** project came to work went over the project with their manager, loaded their cube truck with all of the material we ordered for the project and prepared for the job.   They left our office and while in route to Mr. ******** house he calls our office and cancels the job.    Again nothing like this has ever happed where we had time and money invested into a job, our crew was on the way to the homeowners house and they called to cancel.   So not only are we out the wages that I still have to pay for that day, but I also now own all the material for the job, and not to mention I have to pay for the dumpster.    

  Its not that I want to keep ********************** downpayment because I do not.  I do however believe that he should be responsible for something has we have a lot of cost incurred because of ****************** canceling the job when my crews was in route to his house.   

  I have left ****************** a voicmail as I would like to have conversation, so we can both come to a gentlemen's agreement on how much of his downpayment he is owed back.

  We hired Larson Home Services to fix a roof in the garage of our house at the end of 2019. They came, checked the roof and recommended replacing it in its entirety. We decided to go ahead and do that as we were considering doing solar panels, etc... Their crew came in in April 2020 ( now the pandemic started) and replaced the roof. Right after installing, I noted they damaged my siding around the house and installed the wrong color trim. I contacted them right away and that was resolved (like 9 months later and several emails) but I imagine with the pandemic, everything took longer. Then Fall 2020 starts raining and I notice the area of the leak that prompted the roof change is leaking again and now I have another new leak in the garage - now 2 leaks. I contact them again about it, they send a person in and "they can't find anything wrong". I sent them a video and pictures the next time it rains and they come out again and they are not sure what is going on but do not do anything. They state they will be back but never do. After a few months I contact them again and again they come out and that is it. No repair. The roof is supposed to have a lifetime warranty. Last email communication they tell me my shingles are discontinued. We email back to see what is the plan then and have encountered silence. I feel we have given the company every opportunity to correct this problem and every consideration given the pandemic but they are frankly ignoring us. I feel since they did not fix he original problem and caused a new problem, at this time I will like our money back ($30,000) to find someone to actually fix the roof since they did not do the job and cause more problems for us. I hope you can help us resolve this issue. Sincerely, *****************************

  I knew that they had a leak after the install of the roofing project.   This was a leak they had had for some time before the our re-roof was done and apparently we didn't fix.   I knew that we had been out to their house again, but was under the understanding that the problem was fixed.

   

   Also soon as I received this messaged I reached out to the homeowner to schedule a time to get back out asap and correct this problem for good.
