J&S Roofing in Douglasville, GA. Still waiting on covered warranty roof and other repairs since November 2013 it is now 2/21/2014. Also hired to do repairs is laundry room due to water damage and to remove a fireplace on a outside load bearing wall got three estimates went with him, needed two joist repaired, sub floor, tile & new water heater in laundry room. Noticed new tile cracking and floor not level just like before I had repairs done. I got under house and rotten joist sistered with 2x4s laundry room floor buckling up same as before. Since he did not do the repairs when he had the floor open I had to rip everything out and start over. He was going to repair it and reframe walls etc I had to supply materials which I would not have had to if he would have did correctly when he had the floor open. This was also Nov. and why I noticed the roof damage having to get in attic to see where electrical was before I started working. Call him he's always going to get someone out next week or call you back, never does. Called him again I say I have already repaired laundry room joist I want my money back he says that's not his fault starts talking about my bathroom I say yes I know I am talking about the laundry room not my bathroom. I had bad joist in laundry room also but I had planned on gutting and remodel with someone else so his responsibility was from the laundry room only which was not done correctly. I have a million pictures and when he did the walk through in Nov. in front of my entire family promised to get this repaired, hes just trying to weasel out. Meanwhile water heater has leaked at PRV from day one, did not install a drain pan sent his guy back out that one. Also asked why there was no drain from pan to crawl so his guy drills ones into new tile into joist looks like a drain line until under house and see in does not even go all the way though joist. The new wall where fireplace was removed is bowed out and just looks awful and I have three cracked rafters I have found so far. I have bad OSB all over my roof he charged my for 15 sheets I have found three water damaged one so far. I have enough pics/witness and such could do a small court claim I have not decided yet. Would I recommend him NO does not stand by his work blames everyone else for problems. I hired Finlay Roofing to do siding, new windows, gutters and deck. I had one issue with deck and within one week they were back out and it was repaired. Finlay also gave me a estimates for these other repairs they were higher so lesson learned cheap sometimes means = cutting corners.
