Dave Racer showed up very shortly after my phone call with Erica. He is very personable,…read morerespectful, and thorough. He addressed my roof problem quickly and efficiently.

UPDATE: Feb 21, 2026 STILL NO ROOF * MORE DAMAGES …read more.. BEWARE SWFL and FL: #DoNotHire #RomanRoofingInc claims to be the best in the industry?? HELP TO EXPOSE A CORRUPT ROOFER IN A INDUSTRY WHERE NO ONE SPEAKS UP AND BAD CONTRACTORS ARE PROTECTED!! - Hired Nov 2024 - Tear off shingles/deck Jan 2025 - installed new decking 15/32" not 5/8" per FBC and contract - Failed Dry-in Feb 2025 - Installed 2 more layers of underlayment (3 total) w thousands of nails + partial metal roof. Screwed up the custom roof, took it off, reinstalled halfass. - Failed 2 Finals Apr /May 2025 - Failed for numerous reasons but also for going above and beyond the scope of their license. They are roofers not a GC or engineer. - there was alot of truss work done that went above and beyond the scope of their license. No GC or engineer was involved. - Collier required them to hire an engineer for all truss work. - Filed Collier County & DBPR Complaints, Insurance Claim due to excessive delays, dmgs, lack of response from ANYONE - owner Norman Dopfer failed to respond to emails and calls since Jan 2025 - underlayment 3x, new metal roof 2x, leaked every time - used subpar materials IE: cheap roofing nails on DTW underlayment which req 11g 1.5" and min 1" non-corrosive discs or reg nails - rusting on drip edge - 3 crew teams did inferior work all failed inspections - they failed to provide W9 records during the investigation for the crews working here. - the crew lead Esteban and Tony Supv were never here onsite - Mike Hetherington the Ops Mgr was a piece of work who was never onsite except once for a forced meeting due to failed inspection. - Mike Hetherington sent me a threatening email that he was not going to fix the leaking roof, and the half ass workmanship. If I did not allow him to continue the work as is, he was going to bring legal action against me. (That is the last thing you do is threaten me) - they made a few halfhazard attempts to make patches to fix some of the many issues but they failed to address the bigger issue. The wrong plywood was installed. - In Aug I was given Norman Dopfers tel # to contact by the County Investigator. Both the state and county had a very difficult time reaching him also. - Once I made contact we tried to work together but it became obvious that Norman did not want to follow the County requirements of hiring an engineer. He was trying to do the repairs how he wanted to ignore all of the truss damages they caused, cover up and move on. - He hired a GC Chris Heyer in Aug/Sept 2025 who agreed an engineer was not required - yet the damages are extensive as you can see in the pictures. In addition the 15/32" (12mm) plywood they installed was no longer 12mm, maybe 6-8 mm due to multiple layers torn off with the underlayment. See pictures. It still did not meet the 5/8" FBC requirements and what I paid for. There are thousands of holes, its split in many places, water, and not mold dmgd. - the 3 layers of underlayment and the metal roof came off in Aug 2025 - tearing off the sealed top layer of 15/32". They put another layer of underlayment halfass down, failed to fix the main issue again, it still leaks, never replaced decking to 5/8", dmgd at least 25+ trusses in process of fixing the 1/4"+ spacing btwn the boards instead of just tearing off the entire roof and replacing w 5/8" they used 15/32"! - Norman had a friend who owed him a favor per his text Michael Sheeley AIA write him a letter stating he came to my home, and inspected my roof on Oct 13, 2025. That false statement was signed by Michael Sheeley and submitted as fact to Collier County. It was a lie. Michael Sheeley was never to my home to inspect. I filed a complaint w the DBPR and the BOAID. - I in turn hired my own expert engineer to inspect my roof. He did a thorough job and completed a recommendation report based on his findings. The entire decking needed to be brought up to FBC code. There are extensive top truss damages caused by Roman Roofing that need to be repaired before moving forward. - When Norman rcvd the report instead of fixing the issues. He hired his Atty to contact me. - the roof mfg will no longer honor the lifetime warranty on the new metal roof laying on ground since Aug 2025 due to being strapped and exposed to elements, it should have been dry and pulled indoors. - I have dmg to gutters, soffits, facia, stucco, drywall (crews fell in 8x), fiberglass pool (Failed to tarp debris fell in), 4x storage units, 1 yr of delays costing my rebuild ++ - My house as it stands today is gutted, cannot do my rebuild due to no roof from Jan 2025 with now $100K+ damages to fix from Roman Roofing crews! - REFUSING TO FIX ALL DMGS
