Update: I saw Scissortail Roofing’s response and want to clarify few key points
This absolutely should fall under workmanship issue and should be covered by warranty, or at the very least, addressed properly. No other contractor has touched the roof since we moved in. Scissortail was the last company to be on it, we moved in and had the first leak and hail storms (it held up fine against the hail). Your team came out to inspect it, said NOTHING was wrong. Suggesting another provider caused the issue is simply false
Over ten independent roofers have inspected it. Every one pointed to poor workmanship & missing materials. You claim your install photos show underlayment, ice and water shield, and step flashing, but Chris from your own team admitted on record that step flashing was missing in key areas. I have video proof
The screw (one problem of many you caused) mentioned in your response doesn’t explain the widespread issues for improper install that were confirmed by licensed professionals
Also, Chris said the roof was significantly damaged and suggested filing an insurance claim. But every other roofer disagreed. That felt like an attempt to pass responsibility
I hired a different company, because I couldn’t wait while water leaked into my home. Chris told me directly your company wouldn’t help unless I rehired you and PAID again!
Your public offer of a “resolution” now feels disingenuous. You had the chance to make this right, and didn’t. You cut corners and the job wasn’t done right. That’s not my opinion, that’s the consensus of independent experts, pointing out the results of Scissortail’s poor workmanship, and trying to shift blame only confirms why I will never trust or recommend your company again
*Original review*
If you’re considering Scissortail Roofing, I strongly urge you to reconsider. This is an expensive job, and if you care about your roof, read this review in full
They installed our roof when we built our home, and we had a leak almost immediately. To their credit, they came out and addressed it. But less than six years later, we’re leaking again. A roof should last 15 to 20 years, not start failing in six. That’s simply unacceptable
I met with Chris (nice guy, by the way) from Scissortail and showed him the damage, along with multiple issues like missing step flashing and random nails embedded in the roof. His response? “I don’t know why they did that back then.” He admitted that things weren’t done correctly, saying, “I wouldn’t have done it that way.” I’m confident that admission is on my doorbell camera in case the company tries to deny it later
I gave them more than a week to escalate the issue to their leadership (who also built our home). They promised a call with a resolution, but never followed up. I had to chase them down repeatedly, only to receive vague, unhelpful responses. Meanwhile, we had water actively leaking inside the house. I wasn’t about to let an entire room get destroyed while waiting on them to take responsibility. I ended up hiring someone else — out of pocket, just to stop the damage to both the roof and the interior. The roofer I hired confirmed this was a clear workmanship failure from Scissortail
To be absolutely sure, I brought in ten independent roofers. Every single one pointed out serious flaws in the original installation. And I can prove it, most of them said these things at my doorstep, within earshot of my camera. One even told his boss on the phone, “This was sloppy work, boss.” They all noted the missing flashing, lack of felt, not enough vents, and other basic oversights. I’m not a roofer, but even I can see corners were cut and the job was rushed
I’m not saying the current leak is only due to their mistakes — but it’s clear their subpar installation is the root cause. A properly installed roof doesn’t fall apart in a few years. This has been a frustrating, expensive, and completely preventable situation
This is my honest experience. Take it for what it’s worth. If you hire Scissortail Roofing, you’re taking a big risk, one I’ll never take again
