Roof Magnificent

I don’t normally write reviews because most bad experiences I’ve had were due to mis-communication or basically honest errors however this roofing contractor knew from the moment we signed the contract that he had no intention of following through with the agreement. My contract states that I would give half the money down to purchase materials and the balance due upon completion. I gave him the first ½ required and then little by little I was given every excuse imaginable why he couldn’t start the job, why he didn’t feel he needed to do all the work he promised he would do and so on. I tried very hard to deal with his stories while still trying to get at least the amount of work out of him that I had paid for. He guaranteed me he had his own workers to complete the job and that was not true, he subcontracted out the job. He said he was purchasing Gaco roofing that gave me a 30 year warranty when purchased from the manufacturer. He ended up NOT purchasing it from the manufacturer but from other contractors who had extra left over from their jobs, thus negating my manufacturer’s warranty. He claimed he power-washed, scraped and primed the roof and I have since had to pay a new roofing company to analyze the part of the roof he claimed to be completed to find out that none of that was done. in actuality, he rolled the Gaco roofing product right over dirt and grime and rust. I have 2 new leaks where I never had leaks before. His subcontractors are angry with him because he did not pay them and have since pulled all their equipment down and no one has been back on the job or in contact with me. He has taken my money and left my roof in worse condition than before he started. My attorney has sent a letter to return my full payment and I have filed with the courts and am currently awaiting a court date in March. I am doing this to prevent him from STEALING anyone else’s money. I would not contract with anyone from W.W. Roofing, Roof Magnificent, Waterwitch roofing, Frank Mauro Construction, Supreme Class Roofing, SC Roofing, Waterwitch Construction and 69 Waterwitch Roofing. As you can see he apparently keeps opening up under new business names, but they are all located at 69 Waterwitch Avenue, Highlands, NJ. BEWARE OF FRANK MAURO.
