      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      We hired certified Inc to change our roof in 2012 with a 15 year warranty. We have a leak in the roof and they do not want to honor the warranty because there are pine needles in the roof. According to them there is lack of maintenance but I can prove that we have had the roof cleaned of pine needles four times a year. The problem is, I believe, that the company was bought from the owner who installed our roof and they are not honoring contracts signed by that previous owner. Nobody informed us that the company was sold. They came once to check on the roof but there was a 2 inch layer of ice and the photos they took show that ice. Their worker said that he could not see the problem because of that ice. In fact, in their photos you can see very little pine needles in the roof and a very thick layer of ice in the area with the problem. Since then they don't want to send anyone else to check the roof and they say they are not responsible for the damage and will not honor the warranty that covers both material and workmanship for 15 years, both outside and inside since the leakage damaged the drywall in the master bedroom. They say that if we want our roof fixed we have to pay for what they quoted the repair to be. Aside from the current damage, this seems to mean that a 15 year warranty that I paid for was not even valid for 9 years since this is the first time that we need repair on the roof. How is this possible whe we still have another 6 years to go under that warranty?

      BIZARRE interactions: We were set to install on 8/18/23. After the window of arrival, one person shows up confused on the scope of work. We both, perplexed, wait to see if teams arrive. We call the salesman, he says the entire crew was in an accident and in the hospital. I immediately worried my doors were then damaged and relay that. He then corrects himself and says a workers’ daughter is in the hospital for emergency surgery. Confused and ready for install, I attempt to gain answers and call the company office. All that is relayed is this persons daughter is in the hospital with no attempt to reschedule until I ask to cancel. Then, a member of their team asked a strange unprofessional request to gain our personal details to contact us outside of the business transaction? We are extremely confused. Then the General Manager, instead of attempting to understand our frustration, hangs up on us in anger when we relay the bizarre events. They offer to simply drop our doors/windows off for $2500 off without install. WHAT!? We are again confused… we are the customers, we hired them to manufacture and install, and are met with a defensive team. Almost as though we, who in good faith, gave a $5000 deposit, did something wrong? I think the only thing wrong was putting trust in you all. We are left without our new custom doors and windows. We are still awaiting install, and resolution. Will update this review once a resolution is met.
