  Paid Apex Roofing $3800.00 for roof repairs from damage incurred by Hurricane ***, After work was completed I left to go back to ****** for several months. Came back to mold and leakage from faulty repairs in my garage. Their tech came to my home yesterday for Inspection (****) expressed to me that it appeared the underlayment membrane had been installed incorrectly in this area. They the sent me a repair quote for $2700.00 telling me their work is only warranty for six months. The job was incorrectly done first time here, now they want me to pay to correct their faulty work.

  Dear *****, your quote is an insult!!! Apex roofing did not repair my roof properly, originally. I paid Apex roofing $3800.00 to repair my damage, from hurricane **** Your own tech ****, ( inspected it yesterday) says the area of leakage,(which you repaired) appears to have had the underlayment membrane incorrectly applied. I left ********** after your company repaired my roof and came back to mold on my ceiling in my garage, from leakage, as a result of negligent repairs. Why would I pay you again, when the job was incorrectly done originally? Im going to reach out to the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint. Apex Roofing did not repair my roof properly, the first time here, the current damage, is the result of the negligent repairs made by Apex Roofing. I now have mold as a result of your companys negligence. This is not the end of this!!! Your company has a nerve to try and **** out another $2700.00 to do necessary repairs, (your quote to now fix it, again) I have been nothing but straight forward when dealing with Apex roofing, never tried to get you to lower your original quote. Paid you what you wanted, now your trying to burn me with your 6 month warranty policy.terrible business relations.real bad!!! ********************* This is the letter I wrote to Apex Roofing after I was told by ******************** in his quote, I will need to pay an addition $2700.00 to now address my problem.

  With respect to the complaint filed by ***************************. Our contract was with the previous homeowner and the tile roof was installed on 7/8/19. **************** bought the home on 2/12/2021 and called in on 1/25/23 asking for a repair quote from tiles that were damaged from Hurricane ***. We assessed and found 85 tiles and 6 ridge caps were damaged. The quote was emailed to **************** on 3/21/23 for approval. He contracted the repair on 3/23/23. The repair was scheduled and completed with pictures emailed to **************** on 4/17/23. There was no call from the homeowner to Apex between 3/23/23--2/29/24, almost a year after the repair, stating there was any issue.  **************** called in to the ****************************** on 3/1/24 stating they had been out of town for 6 months and when back, discovered they had a leak. **************** rep ***** W. spoke with **************** on 3/1/24 @ 10:18am CST and informed him that the 6-month warranty on the repair had expired. **************** said he understood, and ***** stated we would send someone for assessment. The previous tile repair is located above the leak location, and no tile was replaced in that area. The assessment was scheduled for 3/4/24. **************** was informed of the quote on 3/6/24 at which time he replied via email that he would be going to the BBB regarding this issue.

  I am rejecting this response because:Apex Roofing is lying about not repairing this section of my roof. I have sent them pictures of their work. They sent a technician to my house on March 6, 2024 (****). He spent an hour examining the leaking area, took pictures and then met with me after his inspection, he saidit appears the underlayment membrane had been improperly installed. (The reason for the leakage).Negligent work is not limited by a warranty. These people have lied and denied, since I have contacted them. It most certainly is their work, you can see the New Tiles they put in. I am mortified they would try and **** out another $2700.00 out of me to fix this. Im a Senior Citizen whom they are trying to scam. I reached out to them originally because they installed the roof in 2019. They should not be allowed to take peoples money not stand behind their work and move on to their next victim. I was a business person for 45 years and would never ever stoop this low, and sell my Reputation, for a lousy dollar bill. This company has unethical business practices and should not be allowed to operate in any state,

  10/30/2023 APEX roofing stated over multiple accounts that the ******** posts WERE to be replaced. They confirmed this with my attorney (************) before the home owners insurance cut the check. Now they are stating that this was never said. I need them to finish the job as promised.

  ****, Director of **************** spoke with homeowner on 11/1/23 @ 9:53am CST and then again on 11/3/23 @ 11:18am CST to address his concerns. The Director apologized for the homeowner's frustrations regarding information that was relayed to him prior to install. After reviewing all documentation in the file, it was noted that per the signed contract and email from the homeowner's attorney, the only funds provided, were for the roof only, the posts were not included. Although frustrated, the homeowner understands, and this matter is considered closed.

  Complaint: 20806170
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  1) APEX fully admits from response that Post were discussed.

  2) APEX's original quote was for 16k, now that the settlement is over, they took over 23k and are now requiring me to pay them $2100 for wood! They stated that wood would be $100 per sheet, which means they would have bought 21 sheets. I was here for the install and I know for a fact this was not the case.

  3) APEX needs to give me a complete breakdown to the last nail used, ALL COSTS, and an answer as to why the price went from 16K to 23K as well as where these 21 sheets of wood went and pictures as to what was replaced.

  I wanted to address several of the homeowner's points below.

  
  
  Complaint: 20806170
  
  

  
  1) APEX fully admits from response that Post were discussed. - RESPONSE - There was never any admission or agreement that the homeowner was told the posts were going to be replaced, and I apologized if that was conveyed, as we were not privy to the conversation(s) he had with anyone. His own attorney stated it was not discussed.

  2) APEX's original quote was for 16k, now that the settlement is over, they took over 23k and are now requiring me to pay them $2100 for wood! They stated that wood would be $100 per sheet, which means they would have bought 21 sheets. I was here for the install and I know for a fact this was not the case. RESPONSE - This is not part of the original complaint that was sent in and answered.  I explained to the homeowner he understood the price of the roof when he signed the settlement agreement with the insurance company and his attorney. He would have had to agree before Apex moved forward with the build.

   The homeowner was also informed per my conversation with him on 11/7/23 @ 1:38pm CST that there was 180' of 1x8 boards used, not plywood. I explained that I would refer him to Accounts Receivable to discuss the wood charges, that pictures could be sent to document the amount used, and if there was a discrepancy, an adjustment could be made. When he stated he was not aware he would be owing wood charges, I informed per the Pricing Detail he signed, he initialed the highlighted portion stating he understood there could be additional charges for wood used. 

  3) APEX needs to give me a complete breakdown to the last nail used, ALL COSTS, and an answer as to why the price went from 16K to 23K as well as where these 21 sheets of wood went and pictures as to what was replaced.  RESPONSE - Homeowner was informed per that same conversation  that he would be given an invoice showing what he was being charged. The plywood and cost are addressed in response above.

  Complaint: 20806170
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  The person responding may have been privy to the POSTS conversation, however, they WERE from and do RESPRESENT APEX, therefore what they told me must be included.

  I am still in discussions with my attorney as I was not privy to her conversation with my attorney, therefore, APEX could just be saying that.

  Full boards of ply at $100 per were discussed. That is all. 

  APEX is now holding my warranty until I pay them more. 

  
  Sincerely,

  An Apex representative coerced my elderly disabled sister into signing a contract giving them the right to *** the homeowners insurance company. The house is actually in a trust and is owned by 4 siblings. The contract is dated in 2021 and all they did was put 3 tarps on the roof. After waiting 2 years for Apex to put a roof on I paid cash and had another company replace the roof at half the quoted price from Apex. We received a check for ****** and went to Apex to pay for the tarps and get them to endorse the check. They refused to endorse it unless I pay them ***** for not using them! I'm a disabled ******* veteran and I need the funds to repair damage to the inside ceilings from water damage because Apex didn't put the on correctly. I will pay for the tarps, but there is no mention of a cancelation fee in the contract. I would like Apex to endorse the check and charge me for the tarps!

  Apex roofing was in the area. I let them take a look at my roof. They said they would check into coverage for the roof . At that time I allowed them to because I was going to be in the process of getting prices. At that time the person told me that all roofing companies work with lawyers now ... I have no idea what roofing company do at that the time he said in order for them to even start looking at it , I would have to sign paperwork of which the law office if needed would be used. At that time I told them I had no intention of needing lawyers because I had no intention on suing . The Apex roofing person said this was just protocol. I received something in my wmail which I signed and returned... at that time no one notified me that they were going to go after my insurance company... the young man who was here said nothing like that would happen unless I okayed it . Which of course I didn't because I wanted just a price for the roof...I've found out that I signed a contract of which I had no idea...I've reached out to them numerous times to tell them this is a large mistake and that I have no intention on going after my insurance company to which they said they would " discharge" the paperwork..There lawyer called me and I explained the situation to him! He was rude and said I knew what I was getting myself into ! I explained to him how it was explained to me and that I was only looking for prices when Apex came along...This has now been going in since April, the lawyer of Apex Roofing said he was going to send out paperwork for which I've never received! I even went as far as to ask them for a copy of the original document, which as of today September 18,2023 have not received.I suffer with a brain injury which I suffer terrible anxiety and this is topping the cake!I have tried to contact everyone at Apex roofing to resolve this matter to no prevail....please help me. I'm stuck and don't know what to do. Please help????????????

  Workers destroyed my child's sandbox. I've spoken to 3 different people at Apex and it's apparently nobody's problem. One of the supervisors was also spewing racial slurs in my kitchen.

  The Homeowners complaint against Apex is made in bad faith. The complaint is false and misleading and attempts to paint Apex in a very negative light. The homeowners recollection of the events that transpired is entirely inaccurate. The Homeowner claims that Apex only provided a quote, one of many, and that Apex never did a thing. When in fact, Apex is the reason the Homeowner is able to make the necessary repairs to their home. Below is an accurate representation of the events.  
  *********************************** (Homeowner) filed a claim with her insurance carrier for damage to her property. On 11/3/21 the claim was denied by the ******************** carrier. On 11/10/21 Homeowner and Apex Roofing and Restoration, LLC (Apex) entered into an Assignment of Benefits Agreement (***). The *** assigned the rights and benefits of the claim to Apex, including the right to file suit against the ******************** carrier. Since the claim was denied, Apex, as assignee of the claim, retained an attorney and filed suit against the ******************** carrier to obtain the funds needed to repair the damaged property. Over the next four months, Apex and their attorneys worked diligently to secure the best possible settlement for the Homeowner. In March of 2022, Apex secured a settlement, which would allow Apex to replace the Homeowners roof. Once the settlement was finalized, Apex and Homeowner entered into a new construction agreement for Apex to replace the roof for the amount of the settlement.   
  The settlement funds were then issued by the insurance carrier. The Homeowner, Apex, and the Homeowners mortgage provided were listed as payees on the settlement check. The check required endorsements from all payees. Apex took on the burden of processing the settlement check with Homeowners mortgage provider. Communication between the homeowner and Apex continued while the check was being processed and endorsed. The mortgage company mailed the Homeowner the fully endorsed check on 7/12/22.? On 7/22/22, after receiving the fully endorsed check for the settlement funds, Homeowner called Apex stating they wanted to cancel the construction agreement. On 8/4/22 Apex called Homeowner regarding the contract and Homeowner inquired about the cancellation fee provision listed on the Terms and Conditions of the construction agreement. On 8/13/22 Apex called Homeowner and left a voicemail. Again on 8/17/22, Apex called Homeowner to discuss, and Homeowner advised Apex to stop calling and disconnected the call. Calls continued to the Homeowner regarding the contract cancelation in an attempt to resolve amicably. Additional calls were placed to Homeowner on 9/14/22, 10/4/22, 10/18/22, 11/2/22, 11/18/22, 12/9/22, 12/14/22, 1/25/23 and voicemails were left with no return call, and if the Homeowner did answer, Apex representatives were disconnected as soon as they identified themselves. After a number of failed attempts to resolve amicably, the file was then sent to collections. 
  The Director of **************** reached out to the homeowner on 5/31/23 and again on 6/9/23 leaving a voicemail. Per the signed construction agreement, should the Homeowner elect to cancel the agreement outside the grace ******* Homeowner is subject to Apexs incurred costs and 15% of the contract price. Currently Apex is only seeking 15% of the contract price. The homeowner had been working with Apex throughout the process until July 22, 2022, at which time the homeowner received the settlement check and decided to cancel with Apex and ceased all further communication.  
  Apex put forth significant time and effort assisting the Homeowner. Apex inspected the property, wrote estimates, hired an attorney, and assisted the attorneys in the litigation, which ultimately resulted in settlement, Apex processed the settlement funds with the mortgage company, spent a number of hours doing administrative work, and more. Despite all this, the Homeowner claims that Apex never did a thing.

  March 27, 2023. APex Roofing installed a roof on my home that has failed inspection several times. We have called the company and have been told that they will take care of this but nothing has been done. They have left a permit on my door for almost two months and nothing has been done. I cannot get home owners insurance until the roof has passed inspection.

  On 12/15/22 *********************** presented at my home following a winter storm that day and asked if he could inspect my roof for storm damage. He wrote an estimate and processed a claim with my property carrier Citizens who promptly paid the claim on 12/31/22 for $21,906.80 with a standard holdback of $9512.20 payable at completion.I was then contacted by ******************* (production manager), *************************, ****** (administrator), ******* from the ** law firm,and ******** (accounting lawyer?). After over 2 months of delays, ******************* comes to the home on 3/13/23 to sign production contracts and I gave him the check for $21,906.80. My file was then turned over to ****** Dates as production coordinator to schedule a commentment date for roof replacement. ****** is useless, can never answer a question, refers to another nameless production manager in ******* and still no project date. It is now 2 months since Apex took my money. My last inane conversation with ****** indicated no production date yet since I opted NOT to retain their attorneys to litigate against Citizens should they not pay the holdback funds. This punitive action on the part of Apex, while holding $21K of my money, is reprehensible. I have no confidence that they can do this project or even want to, which is fine with me. I would like a full refund to look for another roofer who will not drag this out for the 5 months that Apex has, while holding $21k hostage. I have not been contacted by anyone from Apex in the last several weeks which confirms their utter disinterest in replacing my roof. I am outraged by their conduct and do not want to do business with them any longer. Do not trust a door to door roofing saleman whose only interest is swindling the public due to a ******* storm at the homeowner's expense. I want my money returned YESTERDAY!Apex already has all pertinent documents.
