I called Roofing Police to do gutter cleaning and to remove gutter guards that another unscrupulous contractor had told me were buckled and needed to be removed.
Patrick and Raul came out. Patrick said my gutter guards were fine except that they were not properly secured to the shingle. He gave me a price to repair which was more than two times what I had anticipated. But I was so sick of dealing with theiving contractors, I just wanted the work done and them gone.
Then Patrick said some of my gutter guards were missing. I told him I had picked up 2 from the yard. I gave him one, but unfortunately couldn't find the second one (found it after he left). Patrick told me that 7 gutter guards were missing (how did he not notice that before he gave me the quote). He said Roofing police would charge me $20.00 a piece to replace them. He said they cost $13.00 each at home depot but he would replace them - on the side - for $50.00.
Turns out that the gutter guards cost under $2.00 each at the Home Depot. Also, only 2 of the gutter guards had blown off, not 7.
I thought Patrick was the thief and I was going to report him to the company, but upon reading this review I realize the entire company and workers are thieves. I learned a valuable (though very expensive) lesson: Never have work done the same time you get an estimate. Take time to research and discuss with neighbors and friends. More importantly, research the company. HAd I seen these reviews I would not have used them.
