I’m sorry. That’s strange. Can you tell us who you spoke to?

***Update 3/10/25*** The repair from October was in the Master Closet. Please see the near exact drip pattern that was in October and our recent leak in February 2025. As you stated Avery Roofing was at our residence in October to repair this roof leak. As you can see by my photos that it is a near identical drip pattern which leads me to believe the true damage was never repaired. Avery Roofing came out to repair our most recent leak but I can't feel confident that it was repaired properly and that is very concerning. Also, you gave me a copy and paste response. Couldn't even give me the contact information. Shows just how much you care about your customers. ***Previous review*** Not happy with the repair in our condo. We’ve had recurrent leaks for 6 months. Originally had a different roofing company come out then our HOA hired Avery. We’ve had issues with repairs being done properly and had to have Avery out multiple times. Just had another roof leak damaging our personal property and come to find out the nails that secure the plywood to the wooden 2x4s were not secure properly. See pictures of shotty repair work. This area was worked on by Avery employees. So here we go again with having repairs needing work. Very frustrating.

Hi Britini, I just wanted to reach out to see if you have had any further issues with the roof. There’s been a good deal of rain since you last posted. I apologize for reaching out here, I don’t see you listed as a customer in our database, so had no other means to contact you. Please let me know. Thanks. Tom Jacques. Dear Britini, Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration and want to clarify our role. Avery Roof Services was brought in to fix a repair done by another roofing company and later returned to address additional leaks. Our last visit was in October, and we haven’t been informed of any issues since. We are happy to work with you and the HOA to resolve any remaining concerns. Please reach out to us directly at [Contact Information] so we can discuss next steps. Sincerely, Avery Roof Services

Their contractors have no respect on the road. Almost killed me today because he got in the wrong lane (the turn lane) near the Ellenton outlet mall and then tried to cut me off to come into the lane to go straight as I was already half way past him forcing me to slam on my brakes so as to not slam into him. I honked as it was happening so he definitely heard and saw me. To top it off, he flipped me off as if I was the one in the wrong. HXT 909 was the license plate from Tennessee. You can’t be very smart to drive like an idiot with the name of your company and the phone number on the car and your license plate in front of me.

My experience was similar to ta one-star review on Yelp, except I didn't sign their contract. Joseph - the salesman - came to my home and took video footage of areas that needed repair. He narrated the issues that needed to be addressed and explained the necessary procedures. Then, I was presented with a contract for $7,500 for repairing a approx. a dozen shingles and the opening of a "vein" on the top level to repair an area that might cause a leak in the future. Next, we went through the first page of the contract, and Joseph asked for my signature. I said, "please let me look at your tablet, so I can see the entire contract." Well, I scrolled down to page 2 and read para.12 that stated in CAPS that their company would not be responsible for leaks, repairs, or any damages resulting from their work. So, I asked Joseph to call the owner (Tom), who was very pleasant, and said para. 12 was "boilerplate language." So, I asked him to make a change to that paragraph and to guarantee the company's work for one a year (parts and labor). This included: 1) fixing any faulty workmanship, 2) repairing the same areas again that had been deficient, 3) being responsible (and paying for) all damages caused by leaks occuring ONLY in the areas where their work had been completed. Tom said that my concerns were reasonable and the contract could be amended to cover my concerns. Well, I haven't heard from the company since and even sent Tom (Pres.) an email asking where the revised contract was? No reply. Now, after reading the other one-star complaint on Yelp, I fully understand that this company does not stand behind its work and will not warranty the repairs paid for. The contract said that I would have to rely on the manufacturer's warranty. This is absolutely ridiculous since faulty workmanship, labor and damages are not the responsibility of the manufacturer. I do not recommend this company because they did not abide by their promise to amend the contract and take responsibility

I contracted Avery Roofing to replace my tile roof in early September 2022. The process was scheduled to begin with the tear-off in April 2023, followed by the roof installation shortly thereafter (tile takes about 5-6 months to deliver, once ordered). In early April 2023, I was informed that the tear-off was scheduled for 4/10-4/11, tile install to follow. A few days later I received an email informing me that the price of my roof went up $9,000 due to "material cost inflation". The increase was approximately 30% of the original material cost. I was given a week or so to "figure out what to do". I checked with my son, a local general contractor, and 4 roofers regarding the increased cost of material. All agreed that material costs "might" have increased modestly over that time period, but certainly not 30% plus. Avery Roofing screwed me for profit, and gave me less than two weeks to figure it out, saying if I did not move forward NOW, I would lose the tile order and get set back another 6 months, waiting for tile. I fired them. If you choose to do business with Avery, two things: 1) Do not trust them on price and 2) make sure your contact knows what he/she is doing, ours did not. Thats another story.

I'm sorry for your negative experience with our company. Tile roofing has been in a challenging place for the last 12-36 months. Pricing on materials and labor are increasing at rates that we have never seen in our industry. This is why our contract clearly states that as material prices increase, so will the contracted amount. I apologize that we were unable to help you with your roofing situation and had to return your deposit in full. We strive to bring the best experience in customer service and we fell short here, I apologize for that.

We’ve found Avery Roof to be one of the better companies to work with for our roof. We have an older style roof that is typically seen on commercial buildings now and they were great on helping us to just reseal the roof instead of …
