Shingle King Roofing

My storey is pretty much the same storey as the review below. Here is what Shingle King Roofing with Vaughn Hunt did for me in an area no one can see when he did my fascia. He set a very low price to do all the fascia and downspouts for $500 then I had to pay him 3 X more to get the job done just for the labour. I did not have the eve-troughs done.

I had just read some reviews on him and one person said that Vaughn picked up his roofing material with his truck after he paid for it and took off with it and never did the job. It was free material for Vaughn's next job. He has property out in BC that he makes trips to and probably stores the material that his customers pay for. I could have done the same to me but I picked up the material myself. I had to go back and get another $1000. worth of materials for him to do my roof after I thought he had estimated enough to do the job. But then I can't prove he took any of it for his next job that would call for it later on.

When Vaughn came to my door after I waited 9 months for some other company to get the material to do my roof that was hard to get because it was class 4 Vaughn said he could get it. I told him I wanted an invoice before he got started but I made the mistake of buying the material first and while I was getting loaded up with it he took off and went back to my place and started ripping shingles off to get his foot in the door. I never did get an invoice after constantly hearing every excuse for not giving me one.

Meanwhile he sets up his radio everyday and plays Gospel music, calls me his brother for the whole neighbourhood to see. Then says he will pray for me that God will not do something very bad to me if I don't pay him everyday after doing some work which he said I could pay after it was all done.

All I can say about them is to stay as far away from this company as you can but if you get them to do the work the money he will save you will end up costing you a little bit more than if you got someone else. He needs that money to help his son who is addicted to heroin so he says and that he uses his son to do the roofing for him which he said he is very fast and good at doing.

So now that I know how good Shingle King Roofing is and especially Vaughn Hunt I plan on posting very good reviews for him everywhere I can to help him out. I hope that he does well with ripping senior citizens who live with a very limited income that have to draw out an extra $2400. a month from the savings just to make ends meet like me and that all the good he does will come back to him someday. It will only cost me about $700. more for some other company to come here and fix the things Vaughn left behind after getting paid to do them

Before finding out about the fascia he did not do I called him about ten times to come and back and clean out the eve-troughs of all the mess he left in them which he wanted $50. to do he has not come back nor will he ever do.

Redone:

Shingle King Roofing came to my door and asked if I needed my roof done. Vaughn said that he would do all the labour for the roofing for $3500. and another $500. for the labour of the fascia, downspouts, adding support screws for the old eve troughs and cleaning them out after as well as the yard and haul the old construction material away to the landfill. He said I could pay him after he finished the job.

I asked for an invoice before he got started but all I got was an estimate for the material from the Roofing store. I made the mistake of going down there with him and buying the material first. While I was getting loaded up with the material for what I thought was for the whole job he took off and said he was going to do up the invoice and went back to my place and started ripping shingles off my roof. I never did get an invoice after constantly hearing every excuse for not giving me one.

I had to go back and get another $1000. worth of materials for him to do my roof after I thought he had estimated enough to do the job.

After he finished the roof he started the fascia then started complaining that I was not paying enough for the labour. He said it would normally cost $2500. for the labour. So then I agreed to pay him $1500 for the labour to get the job done which included the chimney band..

He did not finish the chimney band on the side that is hidden that can only be seen when on the roof. He also did not put fascia on the gable of the pop out on the side of the house that is very hard to see from below. He did not clean out the eve-troughs of all the mess he left in them that he said he would do but never did. He did not replace the three fan vents and the rubber around the plumbing vent. He did not seal the open nails after his roofing job.

He constantly asked for cash everyday he worked for his labour. He wanted more money for what he did not do but I would only pay according to what I thought he did so that he would at least complete the job and not walk away from doing it like he was saying he would to do. He said I was not paying enough and not being fair about it all.

I ended up paying $1000. more for material than what he said I would have to pay. I ended up paying him $1500. more to do the work for the fascia, downspouts etc.

It costed me about $1400. for some other company to come here and fix the things they left behind after getting paid to do them. So I will have $2900. more invested in this project than I was led to believe so that Shingle King Roofing could do all this work.
