This company is very shady. Our roof, shed and fenced sustained damage from the hurricane that hit on October 7th. They never provided me a written estimate, even though I had requested one on numerous occasions. They provided one to my insurance company back in November. I called several times, sent faxes and text messages asking when the job would be started and requested a written estimate, so that I would know what I would owe at the end of the job, since my insurance company sent the money to me and not to their company. The money given to me was for all of the damage sustained by the hurricane, not just the roof. We hired Carlson Enterprises to replace our roof only. My husband fixed our shed and replaced our entire fence with our own money. The cost of that was over $4,000 of our own money. Every time I would get in contact with the sales representative trying to get an invoice or estimate, he kept on telling me that we had to pay them our full deductible of $4,800. In February he told me that we cut them a check for $4,800 to show the insurance company we paid our deductible and then Carlson would immediately cut us a $4,800 check back. I was finally faxed over an invoice on 4/6/17, which is dated 11/17/16, which totals just under $20,000 (which is not itemized and includes a line item: deductible - $4,800). Note, the invoice includes costs takes from my insurance carrier's initial estimate I provided to them, prior to them ever starting the work. I have had to get an attorney involved to assist me in dealing with this company. I would advise anyone reading this to steer clear of this company. They prefer to deal directly with the insurance carrier so they can get as much money as possible, and leave the customer out in the dark. All I can say is they are extremely shady. Run!!!
