  Rodo Roof of my Home and Garage

  $10,000

  This company messed up my roof from day one. They never met with me ever before starting the job. They then left me notice after dark that they were coming the next day. This job was to be the house and the garage as we are putting solar on the house and garage (even though he saw old plans that just showed panels on garage that was part of the plan from day one). Note: My roof has a flatter roof line and was told by many roofers that you could not use shingles - I measured it and it came to 1.8 so it could be 2 as I do not have a pro tool but do have a pretty good iphone app. Any less than 2 and you would need membrane for the roofing material

  It started off they showed up first thing at 8am. That was fine. They had the roof ripped off in no time. They left and I figured they were done for the day. A couple hours later the company that delivers the roofing material shows up and is putting shingles on the roof. I ask the guy "I thought this needed membrane?" and I asked "Are you doing the garage as well?" (as I knew it had to have membrane) and the delivery guy says I have no idea but I think No.

  So, I call Dave (owner or manager?) and he says there may have been a mixup and he never really remembers my place. It turns out he only came the night before when he delivered notice the work would start the next day which will lead to the issue that will arise later.

  He comes over and says to me again he never really measured so now is doing so with the roof all ripped off. He tells me it is 2 with his tool... And now we are going to do shingles on the main house. Already at this point they have the wrong drip edge up on 3 sides of the house (I will include pictures). Under the old drip edge which was longer was roofing material that you would not paint. Now that is exposed as the new drip edge is too short. He tells me I have to paint it and it is correct. I go and pull the old drip edge out of the trash and the new was shorter and not matched to the house. He tells me it is just a matter of taste... Taste??? You mean do I like the roofing material the drip edge is supposed to cover being exposed? Unreal. As of this writing I have to have an estimate tomorrow on how to do this right. We all know why Dave is advising against it...? And wanting it to be right when it is not..

  So, they finish the roof and the ducts and all that looks good. The chimney... Not so good. Very rushed. They had to use so much silicone to fill gaps that I could have stuck my hand through. I will have to redo this myself and make it at least look like someone cared about their work. I will attach pics of that work as well.

  I spent an hour cleaning up nails and debris all around my home. Dave told me they would clean up and if I raked they would do a better job and I did just that and still ended up picking up a lot of roof material. As the roofer left I saw one of them toss trash out the window of the red ford pickup they drive.

  In the end... It is not over for me. I have to hire another company to actually do the garage now which was the whole reason for me to do any of this.. The only roof I wanted done was the garage but decided to do the house at the same time. So I still have to do that and fix the issue I just paid for.. The main house would have gone longer with the roof it had.

  As my father used to say. If you cant do it right don't do it at all. With Liberty roofing you will end up doing many things over sooner that you expect. I am one day out of them finishing this.

  I cannot recommend this company at this point. Their website might look good but their actual work is rushed and shoddy.

  More people need to go on the roof and inspect after any contractor works on your home. I am sure a lot are taken advantage of and it seems Liberty is one of those companies.

  I will of course update this as time goes and let you know if I need another contractor or if Liberty actually steps up and fixes the issues they caused. Always fun to pay someone to create bigger problems for you! Thanks Liberty!

  Update: They are not offering any solution except to say live with it. So another company is coming out to do this job correctly the way it should have been done the first time. They pretty much told me to screw myself.
