Published Contractor Dispute Reports
Most Recent · Florida Roofing
My Dispute With North Woods Roofing — Gainesville, FL
Homeowner Darrell Bridgett of Live Oak, FL alleges North Woods Roofing was paid $20,000 — funded by the United Way and the American Red Cross — to replace a hurricane-damaged historic 1905 roof. The contractor allegedly abandoned the project mid-job, left safety harness ropes behind, demanded an additional $20,000, refused to refund, and declined to respond to Right of Reply notice. Bridgett ultimately paid $17,500 out-of-pocket to a second contractor.
Licensing & Permitting Dispute
My Dispute With Florida Blue Roofing LLC — Daytona Beach, FL
Homeowner Edna Fordham alleges no license number appeared on her contract, the qualifying agent was never on-site, the permit was pulled under a separate company (House Top Roofing Inc.), additional insured status was never provided, and a lien was filed on an unfinished project. DBPR complaints filed. Attorney for contractor issued written denial with no supporting documentation.
Incomplete Work · Louisiana
My Dispute With Spectrum Roofing & Renovations — Metairie, LA
Homeowner Rina Gallien alleges $10,965 paid in full for a roofing project that remained incomplete and unable to pass municipal inspection. Construction debris was left on-site for days. Crew returned after Right of Reply notice was sent; partial completion work followed.

Brandenburg-area homeowner Gary Halbert describes a prolonged in-home sales presentation resulting in a $23,349 contract, later attempted cancellation within Kentucky's 3-day rescission period that went unanswered, and post-installation concerns about materials, pricing, and property damage.
