Flagler County Roofing
Hired FCR 2 years ago to repair the roof of a house i had just purchased. There was a small hole in the roof near a sun tunnel that had never properly been covered and water was getting into the attic. Got estimates from 3 companies FCR was the only one willing to actually look at the damage in the attic to see where the water was coming from, so I hired them.
Was surprised when they arrived the next day, as they had indicated they would be coming next week but that the office manager would contact me to confirm a date. I never heard from the office manager and only realized they had arrived when i heard pounding on the roof early the next morning. No one came to the door to tell me they had arrived. Good thing there were no family gatherings or guests around when they showed up so unexpectedly; pounding on the roof is not something anyone wants to hear, but especially not if you're having a family get-together (which happens frequently at my house).
I was surprised at the appearance of their dump truck when they arrived. I understand that roofing is messy and dirty but the truck looked like it would barely pass a road inspection. The back was half-filled with debris and a few new-looking shingles, but everything was mixed together.
Looks aren't everything, but I had asked the previous day when they came to do the estimate (not driving the bedraggled truck) about matching new shingles to the old ones on the roof. The young man was rather cavalier about it and said matching them would be no problem--but he had none to show me.
So when I looked in the truck when they arrived, i was concerned to see that there were no matching shingles.
As it turned out, they didn't replace any. They were supposed to, but did not. The young man came with an older man to do the work. The young guy told me his grandfather owned the company. And when they were on the roof, I was up on a different area of it, cleaning out a gutter. But I couldn't help noticing that only the older man did any work. The young guy was on his cell phone almost the entire time and the calls he was receiving and making were not work-related. He also spent a lot of time smoking (not working) on the roof and frankly I never saw him do any work.
The older guy did fix the hole near the sun tunnel but as far as I can tell, that's the only work they did. $485.00 for fixing that hole. Would have patched it myself if the roof in that area was not so steep.
On the invoice, FCR listed several things they were going to do, including replacing cap shingles, installing flashing, resealing shingles, replacing roof jack nails, and fixing raised nails. They may have pounded down some raised nails, but I did not see them replace any nails, shingles, or flashing.
The entire roof will have to be replaced in the next few years. Not hiring them again and would not recommend them.
