"Mr. Corley quoted $865 to fix a dent and a bent seam in the metal roof over our porch that was allowing water to leak through. The amount also included adding a small piece of trimming (flashing) along the roof and tightening up a gutter running under the roof seam. About a month after I paid the deposit and signed the contract, two workmen came to my house unannounced to complete the repairs. It took them approximately 25 minutes to hammer out the dent and insert a couple of screws into the roof seam, slide the flashing into place and tighten some screws on the gutter. The worked looked sloppy but I would have paid the remainder of the bill had the roof not leaked just as badly as before the repairs during the next rainstorm. I emailed Corley's office and asked them to fix the problem, and submitted photos showing the poor quality of the repairs and evidence of the leaks. Five days later, the two workmen showed up unannounced at around 7:00 in the evening, but since I was not expecting them and we were in the middle of dinner, I asked them to return another time, but let me know when they were coming. I also emailed the company and asked that they give me a heads up, even a couple of hours, to let me know when the workmen would be arriving. They came back a few days later, this time I believe they called when they were on their way. Using a caulking gun, they applied several lines of silicone along the roof seam and prepared to leave. I told them that essentially placing glue along the seam was not an acceptable permanent solution. They agreed it was temporary fix and said they would tell their boss that the metal seam clip needed to be replaced. When I hadn’t heard anything after about a week, I emailed the company asking when the work would be completed. Mr. Corley emailed me back asking what needed to be done. I called him and explained that the silicone was temporary, and that after speaking to his workmen, it sounded like the seam clip needed to be replaced. He conceded that his company produced the clips and stated the work would be completed soon. I again asked that he give me a timeframe for when the workmen would show up so I could make sure I was home. About a week or two later, his workmen showed up unannounced while I was not at home, scraped most of the silicone off the seam and patched it with a 12 inch piece of metal seam clip. Their efforts fixed the leak but I was sorely disappointed with the quality of the work. I hired a metal roofing specialist thinking that the work would look professional and seamless, but it looks like something I could have done myself. Moreover, I think it was unconscionable to quote me $865 on a job they initially thought was going to take 25 minutes and involve nothing more than a couple of screws and a piece of flashing that sells at Home Depot for about $5."
