Hired to build a garage said it would take 4 to 6 weeks to complete, it's been 4 months and still not done. Very unprofessional, doesn't show up but a few hours a day and half the time not at all, only day I could count on them to show up was on Fridays because they wanted money. Have several txts from the owner of Akers contracting cussing me out for asking when they were gonna finish my garage. Lied constantly. Had to end up firing from the job and calling police.

Very unprofessional, cusses his clients, does not show up for work when he says, when he does show up works 3 hrs then leaves. Does not respect property or belongings of clients. Wasteful of materials. DOES NOT have equipment and refuses to rent it. Makes client do so without compensation. Not worth the headache find someone else!

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
