Decor Roofing and Construction\r
We hired Decor Roofing and Construction to replace the roof on our house. The house was built in 1967 and still had the original decking in place. The decking seemed to be in ok condition but was only 3/8” thick. After reading some specs on Solar Board decking, we decided to have all of the decking replaced with Solar Board. We plan on living in the home for a long time and are trying to make the home energy efficient.\r
We had a storm earlier in the year that caused some major ice dams on the roof. To help keep this from happening again, we decided to have ice and water shield installed at all eaves and in all valleys.\r
We also noticed some rotting in the fascia boards around the house so we decided to have them replaced as well.\r
So the project consisted of the following:\r
1. Complete re-deck with Solar Board decking\r
2. Ice and water shield in all eaves and valleys\r
3. Remove and install new fascia boards\r
4. Install new drip edge\r
5. Install new vent pipe flashings\r
6. Install 2 new roof bathroom exhaust vents\r
7. Install 30 year GAF Weatherwood shingles\r

Décor Roofing and Construction Proposal and Sales Person Conflict\r
Danny Little was the sales person for Decor Roofing and Construction that sold the job. We asked if they required any money upfront and were assured that we wouldn’t have to pay a penny until the project was complete. We signed and faxed the contract to Décor Roofing and Construction and within a short period of time, the owner, Dewayne Corvin, called and demanded that we pay $3,000. We then explained to Dewayne Corvin that Danny Little told us that we would not have to pay anything until the project was complete and if he wanted money up front we would like to cancel the contract and go with a different company. Dewayne then stated that there would be a 20% cancellation fee. At this point we went forward with the project expecting that we would be out $3,000 if we cancelled.\r

Décor Roofing and Construction Starting Day\r
The Décor Roofing and Construction contractors arrived on time to start the project. Dewayne Corvin (Owner) and Danny Little (Sales Person) were also present. The Décor Roofing and Construction contractors started removing the shingles and noticed minor damage to the roof decking. We were already convinced that we were going to replace the roof decking with the radiant solar board roof decking for energy conservation and sturdiness. Dewayne Corvin tried to say that it would be better if they installed the solar board over the existing decking. We decided to have the original decking removed as per the contract.\r

Décor Roofing and Construction Fascia and Drip Edge\r
At this point the shingles are done and look pretty good from the roof. I asked the contractor when they were going to install the Fascia and Drip Edge, they informed me that it would be another crew doing that and they should have it done the next day (5/14/2011). I waited all day on 5/14 and never heard from anyone.\r
