Bison Roofing & Solar Reviews

First let me start off by saying that this is an old house, and we are aware that unexpected situations may occur that lead to more expenses, especially once the tear off of the old roof begins as that's the only way to find out. For example, begin tear off to find rotted wood that needs to be replaced. Totally understandable and we were prepared for that. There's the main roof (sloped) and 2 add-ons, the laundry room and garage, both with flat roofs. Both the garage and laundry room had leaks, the main roof had no leaks, but was old, so figured it would be best to just go with a completely brand new roof instead of repairing the leaking areas.

Before the job began, Bison sent Clay ** to do an inspection. At least 2 other staff from Bison had also been to the house. No issues. Ready to start, so they said. As soon as they begin tearing off the garage roof, one of the staff walked inside and notice the beams across the ceiling and how they connect to the wall and said the structure is dangerous and they must stop the work. The area in question is very visible, nothing hiding it. So there's NO EXCUSE that this didn't come up during the inspection. They refused to continue working on the garage roof, telling us we need a general contractor and left left the garage roof now more damaged and leaking in more places than before. Absolute negligence on their part. Why? Because they knew this would delay, postpone, or cancel the job.

They proceeded with doing the rest of the house. The sloped roof seems fine so far. However the new roof on the laundry room is now leaking worse than it was before. Water got in to the ceiling light and burnt out the electrical line, not just the light. They said they would send an electrician and never did. And they are not honoring the warranty. A brand new roof shouldn't be having leaks the same week the job was "completed." Now, my mom and grandmother are without light in the laundry room since October. I'm very limited on how much I can help as I'm living in Australia.

After the back and forth about the garage, they seemed to have just did a rush job on the rest of the house. They left a mess. They broke the gate on the side of the house, along with part of our pavers and concrete dividers in the front yard when they pulled their truck up to the house over the yard instead of using the driveway. These just a few of the minor issues. The main issues are the negligent inspection which led to an even more damaged garage roof and a new roof on the laundry room that has been leaking since day one. They have horrible communication, even the owner Elie clearly does not care as I've emailed him several times just for him to ignore us. Completely unprofessional.

Instead of replying and trying working things out to try to come to a mutually acceptable resolution, they had a lawyer contact us. Our lawyer responded, and guess what. Their lawyer ignored us too, just like Elie. Seems to be the common theme around there. They have no accountability and take no responsibility in their actions, and have no interest in making things right or honoring the warranty. I had no intentions of not paying them. I tried to do something nice for my mother and it has been an absolute nightmare. There were many more issues. I will be posting online more details along w/ pictures soon. If you hire Bison, make sure to avoid Michael ** & Clay **. You might have a better experience. But, expect delays and to be ignored once they deem the job as finished.
