My name is Joe I was hired by Carefree metal roofing to do metal roofs jobs on residential homes by James P Kenton and his partner Chris unknown last name short I noticed that on some of the jobs at the final payments they were short and he nickel and dimed me to get paid so I can pay my workers at the final straw I was doing a roof in Bedford on a charge a hundred and two square job when I reached 40 square of the job completed there was a substantial amount of would work that needed to be done before I can continue Roofing at this time he refused to pay me what he owed me for the remainder of the roof until the job was done along with the $8,000 worth would work that had to be done when I completed the job James showed up and received the final payment from the patrons that will paying for the roof told me he would be right back with a check for me called me up and said there was a check waiting at the bank for me give me directions to the bank when I got there it was for $1,000 not the the 15,000 that he owed me myself and my worker commits to going down to Marshfield to get the rest of the money he stated he was not there and that I was not welcome there and he liquidated and took off up to Maine my attorney is in pursuit of the 15000 + attorney fees and three times the amount which I will never get since he goes over 200,000 in other lawsuits and court-ordered fines and everything else just found out that he purchased a brand new Lexus as well up in Maine
Do trust Jemes Kenton or as he goes by also Jim Kenton He owns Care Free Metal Roofing < his check bounce and you will have a hard time getting your money back even with the police help. dont do busniss with this man
Substandard work. Roofers showed up for a couple of hours one day, then a couple hours another day. I stood in my yard and watched as they left an entire corner of the addition without ice/water shield. They asked us for trash bags; apparently the crew is not given the supplies they need. Still finding nails and sharp pieces of roofing all over the yard, even though we specifically asked if the roofers would go over the yard and driveway with a magnet to pick up the stuff thrown around. The workers broke up the pallet that the materials shipped on and threw the pieces in our bushes. Promised a "roof inspector" would come out and OK the roof/make suggestions for the crew to fix before install. No inspector ever came out. We have ice dams. We have a so called "valley" that is about 1/2" high that clogs up and is ruining the ceiling and wall of our addition. The skylights have not been booted properly and now leak. The ridge panel on the shed is installed crooked. A number of the screws to hold the roof down go nowhere. A piece of our home was cut off to make the roof fit, leaving bare wood to rot in the weather. Owner was to come and collect the last check and address any concerns we had; he did not and we were rushed, in the dark, to pay it to the workers. We had to help the workers jam their vehicle with trash so they could leave. Owner Never came back to look the roof over at completion as promised. As a matter of fact, on the sales call, he reeked of beer. Again, not a good business practice. But we needed to get the job done so felt we were stuck.
Owner James Patrick Kenton never responded to MULTIPLE phone calls, emails or texts regarding the issues with the install. Worst money we've ever spent. Ignoring the customer does not help your business. You might want to fix that. Please don't use this company. They had a D rating with BBB at the time in 2016 and I gave them a chance. Very sorry I did so. 15 Months with no contact regarding my issues, so I called the ME AG office. Within two days, I received a call from the owner's lawyer. Then a defamatory video shows up on YouTube making disgusting claims against me and my business. Intimidation tactics aren't going to work here; it simply strengthens my determination to get things right for our home and to warn others.
As for us, we are off to file a complaint with the BBB and the Maine Atty General as well as the local PD for deceptive sales practices and of course that lovely YouTube video. Jim, we PAID YOU IN FULL for this leaking claptrap of a roof and then never saw or heard from you again. NO EXCUSES for ignoring our issues. You should be ashamed of yourself for apparently providing "stellar work" on Some homes (although I have to wonder if all those 5 star reviews are real) and pathetic, leaking, corner cutting work on Other homes. I would love to be one of these "happy 5 star folks" and I told you when we met that if it was done right, you would have a raving fan. You blew it.
