It never fails to amaze me - it happens at least every other week, sometimes more. It happened again yesterday. I was sitting down with a customer who is having leak issues in their living room. The amazing part is the roof is only four years old. The gentleman told me that the other company was supposed to install ice & water shield on the area in question. After closer examination I found that neither ice & water shield or felt paper was used. What a waste! The last thing this poor guy wanted to do was pay to re-do a section of roof that should have lasted him another 25 years. While I am grateful he called us, its not the kind of job we like having to do. The contractor cut some corners and is now nowhere to be found. These are the people that give all contractors a bad rap. Bottom line is you need to choose your contractor carefully. Whether it be a roof, deck, kitchen, or paint job - a good local contractor who has a history of serving your community, along with references and proper insurance are less likely to commit this type of fraud. Poor workmanship takes time to show up... and usually by then the fly by night is long gone. Quality work does not cost - it pays!
