Becker Roofing & Construction Inc – Roofing Contractor in Independence, Kentucky

Had Mr. Becker out to my home to assess a leak in my roof and determine if a repair was in order or a whole roof replacement due to the age of 17-18 years. When he arrived I asked for a quote of what it would be to repair or “band aid” the issue if possible and a quote for the whole roof either way. He decided what the problem was before he got on the roof and then went and grabbed a few nails and some caulk and said, “we will get ya taken care of today.” I thought maybe he was gonna throw a few nails to get us a couple weeks until the roof could be replaced because this wasn't a long term solution in my eyes and he mentioned nothing about cost at this point. I was thinking, great this guy is going to take care of a “band aid” repair real quick to keep any further water from coming in the house in hopes of earning our business on the roof replacement. He proceeded to throw a couple nails and caulked what I thought was all the flashing around the exhaust vents. Then he came down and said, “okay it's gonna be 225 for today and the cost to replace the roof is 7750.” My plan was to caulk it myself if that is all that needed to be done to get us through until the roof is replaced in a few weeks but he went ahead and did it himself without asking for authorization or providing the cost. I was pretty thrown back by this and stewed on it for a few hours and then went up on the roof to find he only put a couple nails next to the existing nails and caulked a seam on each side but did not caulk around all the seams even or replace the boots as is typical when doing this sort of repair. So he got 225 for 10 minutes of work and when I contacted him about my displeasure and apprehension about paying for such work he never responded after 3 days. Seemed like a decent guy but I can not recommend him based on my experience and we have elected to go with another company for our roof replacement set for next week.
