I had a roof put on my house a few weeks back. The roofers did a very nice job though some of you guys might disapprove because the actual installers are an immigrant crew. Hopefully not.
Anyway, everything went fine.
The contract I signed says the following:
"If the existing number of roof layers is more than the number stated above, there will be an additional charge of $35.00 per square for each additional layer depending on roof pitch and access.
If decayed roof sheathing or framing needs to be replaced, there will be an additional charge of $45.00 per piece of CDX plywood and
$2.25 per lf of board sheathing. You agree for us to make the necessary repairs within a limit of $250.00 without further approval. If the
price exceeds $250.00, you will be contacted before further work is done."
Then it goes on to talk about the choice of shingle and the shrubbery being covered and all that stuff.
They priced into the job the removal of two solar tubes and they did that. When they arrived at the job site, they brought two sheets of plywood with them. I asked about these sheets. The site forman told me, this is what we brought to do the solar tube patching with. We’ll use a half sheet for each tube and if any is left we’ll have it for another spot. I said ok, are those being charged on top of my price. He said no, we put two sheets in the job because we knew about the solar tube removal. I said great, ok.
I never got anymore paperwork from them. When I got my insurance settlement check back, I mailed them the full payment based on the previous invoice I had received.
I just got a call saying that I owe another 35 dollars for additional plywood repair. I explained that they only use 1 and a half sheets of those two sheets and when they left that half sheet went with them so as far as I was concerned, I didn’t owe them anymore money.
He says, no, its really 45 dollars per repair not per sheet and this was an additional repair spot. but that they “for some reason” only charged me 35 dollars.
I said I never got any updated invoice and I paid based on what I owed them and what work and materials I saw “per the contract” and I don’t feel like I owe them any more money. He’s gonna send me a copy of the updated invoice, not sure why I never got it.
Regardless, I feel its paid and done with at this point.
I live in South Carolina.
Thanks
