Triangle Roofing

Please get other estimates if you are looking into hiring this company. I am a first time homeowner but I feel I got SCREWED by this company. They charged me $ 1,800 for about three hours of work. I paid but complained. They said they have «overhead» and «insurance» expenses to cover. Well I am a professional business owner and I too have these expenses but would never charge someone $ 1,800 for three hours of work.
They did give me a detailed estimate which I agreed to, but I am not a roofer and the details of what they said needed to be done appeared as if it would take much longer than three hours. Anyway, it was my mistake I suppose. Learned my expensive lesson. Don’t make the same mistake as me…

Triangle Roofing repaired and replaced the finish on a flat roof on the front of my home in Uptown New Orleans. The cost of the job was in excess of $ 7000, and the work was guaranteed by the company’s so-​called warranty. Several weeks after the roofing repair was complete, we hired a painting crew to come in and do some work which required walking on and using ladders on the same flat roof that Triangle Roofing had repaired. *Prior to Triangle Roofing’s repair, this roof withstood the use of ladders and work boots on a regular basis.
However, after this repair, the finish on the flat roof was completely destroyed by the work boots and the use of the painters’ ladders. It looks very much like smudged nail polish that was touched before being allowed to dry properly. NOWHERE in the paperwork regarding the roof repair were we notified that the finish on the flat roof would not withstand work boots or ladders. We contacted Triangle Roofing to notify them of the problem, and they contend that it is the painters’ fault that the roof finish was damaged, and Triangle Roofing is now refusing to honor their own warranty. They instead want $ 2500 to repair the damage to the roof’s finish.
We showed the damaged roof to the President of the Louisiana Home Builder’s Association and he said, without question, that the finish on the flat roof was defective, and that Triangle Roofing should honor their warranty and re-​finish the roof. On our behalf, the Homebuider’s Association President contacted Frank Funke, the owner of Triangle Roofing, and did not receive a reply. We have written a certified letter to Mr. Funke to notify him of the situation, and we have received a letter from him in return, stating that he does not intend to do anything to honor Triangle Roofing’s warranty.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. FIND ANOTHER ROOFER. THEIR WARRANTY MEANS NOTHING. We are left with a lawsuit as our only recourse.
