I would want people to be careful using Layman Roofing and Siding. The main reason I say this is due to their communication and service. The whole process was difficult whether it was receiving a timely estimate, starting the job, completing the job, and warranty of the job.
Don talks as if his business had great service, but his actions showed differently. His communication was lacking as they started the job almost two weeks behind schedule, had guys on and off the job when they should have been working on the roof, and did not have qualified installers. By the way, I had to constantly communicate with Don and the only time he would talk with me is if I called.
After the roofing project was complete, it only took about 2 weeks and the ridge cap shingles were coming off the roof. I have installed shingles myself and with further investigation it was clear that whoever installed the shingles used a nail gun improperly. Even Don admitted to somebody using the nail gun improperly. The nails were blown right through the shingles. Don had a guy come and fix the shingles that had come off only to have more shingles come off the following week. I called Don again asking him to once again repair the shingles that had come off. I even asked him to replace the whole ridge cap as most, if not all the nails, were blown through the shingles. He said he would send a guy out, but never kept his word. After 10 days, I had another installer come out and replace the whole ridge cap. I am glad I did, because it rained heavily two days later and it would have created a huge mess. The new ridge cap shingles were nailed in by hand and there have not been any problems with the ridge cap.
I also had to call Don and let him know that his crew left materials and tools behind. He made sure his guys came back to get the tools, but left miscellaneous supplies that had to be cut down and thrown away. He threw shingles in the landscaping which I had to clean up. When he had the dumpster picked up it left big ruts in the yard. He noted that he would put boarding down so this would not happen, but failed to keep his word. He also did not nail down a ground wire or reinstall the light. Both of which Don stated he would have done, but never did.
I would suggest people find another roofer due to Layman Roofing and Siding not keeping his word or standing behind his workmanship. I have attached pictures so other people know Layman Roofing and Siding's Business Practices. read more
