Spiros roofing has reroofed my freehold TH back in 2006 for about $3000. Couple of initial dissatisfaction points:
1. They promised to finish as of end of June but actually finished on Aug 7 2006.
2. They worked vey hasty and shingles were not laid in straight lines at all.
Now what the trouble is. My neighbour who agreed to go with Spiros on my solicitation told me this summer (2009) that he had multiple leaks which his friend has fixed for him.
I climbed on the roof and found out multiple repairs of counter flashing on his roof. And also - some insecure and unsealed flashing on mine.
When I called Spiros he first asked me to fax him an invoice which I sent by e-mail. After few days I called again and he claimed he had a problem with e-mail. Then he came to my place and would not go on the roof but gave me extended explanations why counter flashing is not his responsibility. Few days later I found my contract where the was a checkmark against "resecure and seal existing counter flashing". I called him again and conveyed this point to him. Then he changed tune to the consequences of storms and hurricanes and other abnormal weather event which is absolutely irrelevant in this case.
Finally I stopped waisting my time with this eloquent person because unlike other posters I have dignity and will not beg a contractor to do a 30 min. job after 100 hours of discussions.
Maybe all contractors are like this but next time I would roll the dice and try somebody else. And definitely I'll never recommend him to anybody except to those who are seeking adrenalin rush from skillful argument.
