  On August 6, 2024, I had a new roof installed. The check from the insurance company was more than the amount I owed the roofer because State Farm included money for other damage such as rain gutters. Because the check was made out to me and my mortgage company, Priority Roofing took the check to have it endorsed by the **************** and said they would refund me the balance, $483.68. They have not given me the refund despite repeated calls, and they basically give me the run-around when I call. I just want them to refund the money that I am owed.

  Priority Roofing of ***********, ** is threatening to put a lien on my home for wanting to change contractors for my roof and gutter repair. They misrepresented the truth and I have text messages that they themselves admit they wrong in. I have attached a copy of my complaint that I filed with the ******************************** yesterday, 18 August 2024, that provides all of the details about this situation.

  Hello 

  I spoke with Mr. **** on the phone directly following the last interaction with *****. As explained on the phone there is zero intention from Priority to put a lien or any such thing on the home. 
  

  I have uploaded the signed contract as well as the signed document that clearly outlines how much money will and will not be collected for the work being done, and not being done, on the claim. Without these two documents signed and submitted we will not schedule work or order material as it would not constitute a legitimate job otherwise. Both the contract to be the contractor, and the sheet with all the dollar amounts was signed and agreed to before we proceeded. 
  

  Ive only attached them to say they were in place, they will be voided and shredded as they are no longer valid and no lien or percentage of the claim will be pursued. 
  

  As for the material there were issues with the supplier and we were told one thing about its arrival that ended up changing after we were told it was secured. 
  

  I apologize for any miscommunication or misrepresentation of Prioritys core values of Excellence, Life, and Family. Please let me know if Priority can be of any further assistance.

  Thank you

  I inherited the warranty for a roof that was installed by Priority Roofing in May of 2022. Long story short, the company did not appropriately install the shingled roof on my house and left an insulation layer which was part of the original rolled roof on the decking. The shingles were nailed into the insulation layer which ultimately caused my roof to leak in 3 different places (that I know of). I've been working with the company, and they have replaced the entire roof, and this time removed the insulation layer and put an ice/water layer down. During the course of this work, their crew pulled out the ventilation pipe connected to my hot water heater. The crew left and the vent was not put back in place. I called ************ and they had to turn off the gas to the hot water heater as my house would've filled with carbon monoxide until it was connected properly and sealed again. Currently, I have no hot water and haven't had it for several weeks now. I have tried contacting Priority with no response for compensation to have a plumber come out and re-light my pilot. As well, their crew was supposed to cover an area where rolled roofing had been put down with shingles that matched the rest of the roof. I would like Priority to pay for the plumber since they caused the issue with the hot water heater and finish the work on my roof. I appreciate them sticking by the warranty and replacing the faulty roof, but their work has been sloppy, and communication has been extremely poor.

  When Priority Roofing began my roof replacement, I looked out of my windows to see their workers throwing large chunks of roofing debris off every side of my roof all at the same time. Chunks of shingles struck my neighbors car, which was parked adjacent to my house, on his driveway. Upon running outside, I again observed chunks of shingles and other debris being thrown from different sides of the roof without workers on the roof looking at where it would land. One employee was standing outside, when he was struck with a huge chunk of debris. Upon being terrified that someone was going to get seriously hurt or killed, I yelled for everyone to stop. I asked to speak with the person in charge, who was nowhere in sight, and non of the other workers spoke English. I was able to reach Priority Roofing Contractor, ***************************, via text, who contacted the site manager, and he arrived approximately an hour later. The manager insisted on completing the job indicating they could not leave the roof exposed, and he would remain on-site to ensure there were no further safety issues. He said that they do not use chutes, because of the added expense. In addition, Priority Roofing left roofing debris in my pool and about the grounds of my home. However, they refuse to pay for cleaning the pool or replacing the water. I contacted a roofing inspector to obtain an evaluation of the job Priority Roofing completed who indicated that it was sloppy.I declined to have Priority Roofing complete the replacement of other projects such as work on gutters, windows, screens, etc. based on their poor workmanship and unprofessionalism. Priority Roofing representatives are refusing to provide me with an updated revised invoice, as I am still waiting for it. They are also attempting to overcharge me an additional $1,450., claiming my insurance company only paid for painting part of my fence. Neither my insurance company nor I authorized additional painting outside of the what was initially agreed upon. I specifically provided *************************** with my insurance companys authorized estimate to adhere to before any work was done. I paid Priority Roofing over $23,600. for the initial work on the roof and was awaiting receipt of the updated invoice, and for the return of a supplemental insurance check from my mortgage company (as they are required to sign off on all checks), when Priority Roofing placed a lien on my house. Regardless of what they do, I will not pay them for work which they never did or I did not authorize, and I absolutely refuse to allow them to do any work for me ever again.

  Priority Roofing left a business card on my door as they were doing another job in our neighborhood. They gave me a free inspection that took a few minutes and they said yes, you do have some damage on your roof. Company Representative (*******************) came inside my home and instructed us to call our home insurance company and use a date for a storm that occured 3/1/2023 (almost one year ago). **** gathered the claim info on his form, and had me sign the bottom of the page. The insurance adjuster sent out an inspection company a few days later. My insurance company received that inspection report, and it took 5 business days to review the findings. On Feb 26th at 9am, my insurance company provided me with a tentative yes for replacement. I informed ****, and asked him to prepare his bid (as I would be getting at least 3 bids for my roof replacement- 7000 sq ft of roof). When I informed **** (Feb 26th at 7;45pm) that I would be getting additional bids, he responded via text with the following ( I have attached a screenshot of the text exchange): Well I hope since we are already under contract we can work together I responded with if another company has a better product/price, that contract wont mean anything. The next text from him was I understand completely, Im confident that Im going to give you the best quality roof, for the best rate. I replied with After that last comment about the contract, Im excluding your company from the process. His last message after that one to me I stand behind our work, and wouldnt ever let a contract do the talking,. I hope you keep us in mind. At the end of the day I just want to give you the best product. I only referred to the contract, because I felt we had a great understanding that I was going to make this thing happen. At the end of the day I just want to deliver my promise, have a good night

  After a hail storm they came through my neighborhood knocked on my door soliciting business even though soliciting is not allowed. Like many homes I did have hail damage on my roof and fence. They gave me a free inspection with a drone that took about 10 minutes and they said yes, you do have some damage on your roof. Company Representative came back to home a few days later to speak with me and my spouse and said they would speak to our insurance company adjuster after they come out and do an estimate for an insurance claim. The insurance company adjuster came out walked on the roof and took pictures. The Priority Roofing Representative was on the ground with me and I never saw them talk with the insurance adjuster. I asked Priority Roofing for a quote and a contract and they said we have a contract. I told them my insurance company wants a signed contract with dollar amounts and full breakdown with estimates. They never provided the estimate and I said I will get a quote from someone else and the priority roofing Rep immediately began threatening over the phone. Later that evening they continued to threaten and harassing me with via text message and email, stating they are putting a lien on my home and take legal action to force me to pay a 15% fee to their company because I do not want them to retain them to work on my home. The work was never started, no materials were viewed or ordered by me and they never gave me an estimate with dollar amounts. When my spouse and I signed that letter we thought it was giving them permission to talk to the insurance adjuster during their inspection and the representative never told us about any 15% fee or about the 3 day cancellation. That information was listed on the back of the document no where near the signature line as required by law. These are very deceptive business practices and Priority never reviewed, explained, or told us about that form. That is not a contract. I want them to retract the threats.

  Hello this is *************************** the ** for Priority Roofing for the **************************************. I have reached out to Mr. **** to resolve this issue. We have heard and listen to his concerns. We will not be charging him the 15% of the contract, and he is free to move forward with any contractor/company he prefers.

  The company did contact me and explained that the employee that threatened me needed to be retrained, and apologized, stating thats not how they do business. They said there will be no charge and I can use any company I like basically the contract is void. They also offered me compensation as part of their apology but I never received it. Glad this is over and I hope they never do this to anyone else.

  In August of 2023, a representative (****** Square) from Priority Roofing came out and looked at our roof. We decided to go with priority roofing. They put on our new roof on August 30, 2023, and we had ****** come out to look at our concerns about the roof they put on that very night.1.There was a hump in a section of our roof that should have been addressed at the time they were installing the new roof.2.They took the skylight glass off and put roofing paper over it and took weeks before replacing the glass for the skylight. When they did replace it, they tried to cut corners and went with a single-pane skylight. They had to order the correct double pane. That also took them about another 3 weeks. 3.****** said they would clean up their mess and the nails on the ground to this day I am still finding nails and their garbage on our lawn and landscaping, and I have pets that can get hurt from them. 4.They did not replace any of the drip edges and flashing during the installation of the roof.5.The shingles in one section of the roof are in rows and not staggered.6.Some of the shingles on the ridge vent are curled up and not flat. The ridge vents themselves are sticking up. They told us they would flatten over time they have not.7.Tar marks on the driveway from when they replaced the roof.When we tried to get the issues fixed with the roof, ****** told us that it would take some time because they had so much warranty work in front of us that got to get done first. When we called a couple of times or texted, he would be argumentative with us and come up with so many excuses. After about 30 days passed, I called the office to talk to the General manager to voice my concerns about our issues. They had people come out and fix some of the issues we had. To this day not all the issues we have are corrected. When they came out to our home to finally replace the skylight and chimney cap, they did not call to let us know they were coming out. We had to find out by looking and seeing if it was fixed or replaced. They couldve entered our home through the skylight if they wanted to because you can have direct access to my primary bathroom. They also left tar marks on our driveway from when they replaced the roof. I still find trash all over the place such as bottles, chip bags, and so many nails. They have yet to come out and clean that up. There is NO Communication!! After you say yes, you must take time out of your day to call your insurance company because they say that they cannot get ahold of anyone. Then we must call them to get the issues you are having with the roof they put on. The only time they contacted the insurance company was to put the certification of completion in when the work was not completed. Priority Roofing, they will tell you anything to get you to say yes to doing work on your home but will not deliver and do good work!

  9/17/23 received unsolicited phone call from Priority asking to assess my roof for possible hail damage from the night before. I agreed, since there had been a hail storm. 9/18 ***** from Priority arrived and went up on the roof, made a bunch of chalk circles, and proposed I sign a contract with Priority to negotiate roof replacement from my insurance company. He wanted me to sign immediately. The contract would have committed me to allowing Priority to work on my roof and I would be obligated to them for up to my insurance deductible which is about $5,000. I declined to sign, and he left the contract with me to sign at a later date if I wanted to. I had 3 other roofing companies come assess the roof the following week, and all 3 of them stated there was no reason to replace my roof for many more years, and no damage that an insurance adjuster would consider to be needing repair or replacement. Priority appears to be running a scam of chasing storms and locking homeowners into unnecessary contracts for roof work.I also reported these details to my insurance company State Farm.Priority is not a reputable business from what I can tell, and I do not wish to have any further contact with them.

  Hello I apologize your experience was less than exceptional. I've attached a few photos of your home and roof to see what the rep was seeing while he was on the roof. When we see that size damage to the gutters, vents, and shingles on that scale and magnitude we know it needs to be addressed. If other roofing companies have a different opinion than ours that's okay, we simply disagree. As for the contract it is common practice for us to have an agreement in place before we come and meet the insurance on the roof, that way we are now your advocate and contractor going forward. It would appear that was left unsigned as insurance was not called to come and look at the roof-so that makes sense as well. Priority is an honest and reputable company with thousands of satisfied customers that's why I'm personally reaching out to apologize if you felt anything other than concern for your roof and home. Please if you have any other questions or concerns don't hesitate to reach out to our office at ************. I sincerely appreciate your feedback and look forward to any opportunity to work together in the future! Thank you again.

  This issue involved an insurance roof replacement that took place between December 2022 and January 2023. . 12/6/22 - 12/12/22 - ****** came out to look at the gutters that were damaged due to incorrect storage (resulting in staining) and parts that had been left up resulting in them being broken.12/12/22 - 2/14/23 - Priority Roofing, ******, worked with Gutter King to get a quote for repairs. ****** did not have Gutter King or any other professional gutter company come out and make an assessment for repairs. 2/14/23 - Initial repairs by *************** and first in-person visual inspection by *************** after the removal and replacement. They stated the gutters were not properly re-installed and said they would send a quote for the additional repairs.03/22/23 - I forwarded the quote for additional repairs and explanatory information to Priority Roofing.3/23/23 - ****** said she would forward the information to her quality control unit. I did not get traction so I opened an insurance issue resolution case.Fast forward to July 21, 2023 when Priority Roofing agreed to "...to have a different gutter crew to handle this correction to assure the drip edge extends over the BACKSIDE of the gutters which they installed." *********** came out and had me pick out the drip edge extension color. Then they emailed the insurance company claiming that the work was not needed because the drip edge extended behind the edge of the gutter. They sent interior gutter pictures. WHAT? And they strangely propped up the guards. Currently - Still working with my insurance and their issue resolution team to have them complete the work. Unfortunately, I recently discovered ANOTHER workmanship issue. As part of the roof work, the popcorn ceiling and re-textured/painted the ceiling in my living room had to be removed due to water damage. It has starting peeling in multiple places. I'm sure I will have to chase them around and around for resolution for this issue as well.

  My name is ***** and I am the General Manager of our ****** location. I am so sorry to hear your experience with Priority was subpar. I can assure you this is not the standard by which we normally do business. We will be reaching out to you directly to make sure we find a resolution for your gutters and interior that is in line with the higher standards by which we normally operate and one that meets your expectations. If there are any issues with the new resolutions offered, please reach out to me personally at ************.

  I have spoken to ***** and ****** in Operations at Priority roofing. ****** came to examine the ceiling and gutters. They both have stated that they will repair the ceiling (requiring scraping, sanding, retesting, and painting) and they will put a wedge behind the gutters. This work has not been completed yet. Only the gutter work is scheduled for next week. However, they have failed to perform in the past. Therefore, I cannot state that the issue is resolved yet. 

  Customer response

  09/30/2023

  I have reviewed the business response and accept this resolution. I spoke with ***** and ****** from Operations, they have assured me the ceiling will be repaired (will take 4-5 days and include scraping, texture, sanding, caulking, painting, and a scaffold) and we are awaiting the subcontractors plan/schedule. They are scheduled to put a wedge behind the gutters next week. 
  

  I am a bit skeptical because they have scheduled work in the past and not completed it. However, I am hoping that they will actually complete performance this time. ***** seemed very willing to help and re-engage if I run into any issues. I really appreciate his offer and positive attitude. He says my past experience is not the typical way Priority Roofing conducts business and he will assure the quality. 
  

  Based on the BBB set timeline response requirement, I am marking this as accepted and resolved.

  I had a roof done by Priority Roofing in June. I started the process back in March and asked for the price constantly. I said I didn't want to start the work until I knew what the cost was for the roof replacement. The **** *** said we have to wait to see what the insurance pays. I said the quote should be based upon what your company charges. Several more weeks go by and he finally gives me the amount of $16k over the phone so I said I am good with that price. They show up and I give him the check. He calls me later and tells me there is a balance of $5200. I said you already gave me the price and that's way above my deductible. He goes to his phone again and puts in some numbers and tells me it is was mistake and I owe ****. Then proceeds to tell me there is another check coming from the insurance company, but there wasn't. ** tells me the balance is still due of **** but he will take **** by the end of the week. I call the office and left a message after ** sends me a message threatening me with a lien and taking me to court. I let him know I called the office and he proceeds to call me ma'am to be disrespectful. After all of this, I still not gotten an amount in writing, only the verbal.
