Documented Example of "Finished Work"
Summit Roofing & Contracting was hired to repair an active roof leak. Despite replacing the roof twice, the leak persisted. Subsequent inspections indicated that required roofing components were not installed, damaged materials were reused, and defects were left uncorrected—resulting in ongoing water intrusion.
The reported conduct goes beyond negligence and includes allegations of fraud, misrepresentation, and deceptive trade practices, including accepting payment for work that was not properly completed.
Reported Issues
- Incomplete or defective roofing work
- Misrepresentation of repairs as “completed”
