Someone from this company came to my mother's house (unoccupied at the time) & told me I needed a new roof. They promised to get me one 100% free because of some government program that pays for houses that have high wind damage. We hadn't had any bad storms in quite a while and something for nothing ALWAYS sets off the red flags. The roof was a little old, but still in very good condition. I politely told him I'd think about it & then never got back to him. The guy was a neighbor, so it was inevitable that I'd run into him again while taking care of the house & I eventually did. Each time he pressured me to hire this company and get my "free roof." He always acted shocked that I wouldn't jump on this great deal, but the more he pressured me, the more I decided against it. He was either the philanthropist of the century or a scam artist and I don't believe in Santa. So I kept putting him off, never giving him a flat out no but never implying that I was interested either. Then one day, after a week of totally beautiful weather (no rain, no storms, no high winds, nothing) I came to the house and found a whole bunch of shingles all over my property. They had clearly been pulled off the roof! They even tore some off the garage roof for good measure. Strangely enough, none of the neighboring houses seem to have been damaged by this mysterious storm that only affected one house on the whole block. I guess it was an easy target, since no one was living there to notice people climbing on the rooftop at night, which was when I assume it was done.
That tells you all you need to know about this company. They are criminals, willing to resort to vandalism to scare up business. Stay away from them, and if you have an uninhabited house that they are interested in, immediately install security cameras.

PS The 5 stars for promptness are only because they were very prompt in damaging my property once they realized they weren't getting my business. That was NOT a compliment!
