Call to get help. Can't get past the items they won't do with the office person. Second attempt to try and work with this company. I don't call to get advice, i call to get someone to look at what i'm asking them to look at.

Sharing a horrible experience from what could have been a future customer. I called the company as there was a gentleman walking around in my yard which caused my alarm to go off continually. I saw a truck on the side of my home so I contacted the company. When I called I asked was there a request to be there as I did not recognize the young man in my yard. Laura then asked my location and said "I guess he's looking at a house if you see our truck". I then asked who requested it as I wanted to know if my fiancé had called since I was working and we do need a new roof. She replied I don't know but I will call you back….which she did. When she called me back she stated "he's taking pictures of your neighbors house, but I told him to stay off your property line". Laura thought that she ended the conversation but she then started to talk poorly about me to someone else in the background. She began to say that when I called I was just like a person in a condo association who followed one for guys around and we were all crazy. She then stated she is sick of this job as "all I do is listen to problems all day". I was able to record the conversation. Word for word. She stated the person in my yard was the most clean cut, attractive young man and you would never mistake him for a robber. I never believed he was, I was just concerned. As a professional courtesy, I called to share my experience with her and she shared she just quit and gave her notice as she was at a volleyball tournament in Arizona with her daughter and how her taking calls has ruined her weekend. I tried to tell her that in the future she should hang up and not talk about potential future customers. All she did was make excuses and say that she did not say it. I recorded it. Laura, I hope that your next place of employment does not have crazy customers as you called a concerned home owner. Wow what a great experience for someone who needs a roof.

Laura, to answer your question, this company treated us disrespectfully, and it truly didn't come off as a family-friendly business. It doesn't surprise me that our name was never in your system, as we continually had to remind you that we were not the previous owners. Still, because our house purchase happened during the hail storm, the previous owner's insurance was involved. We were told our siding was not made anymore and that they needed to send a sample out to be tested. The sample was about 4ft long. They took a giant sample off the side of our house that we didn't even have covered by the insurance claim. We still have a giant eyesore from this company. Furthermore, both my husband and I called to check in and receive an update on the sample and a quote on separate occasions months later, and we were both talked down to by the lady at the front desk. She yelled at us and told us they were too busy to get back to us now. We never raised our voices, and we never implied any demanding information. We asked for an update, that's all, and we never received one. We were later informed that she has a medical condition, which I can empathize with, as I also struggle with a life-threatening medical condition. Still, I will never understand the continued disrespect they all have thrown onto my family, and I am reminded of it every time I look at the side of my house. Edit: I assure you, I was there, Jeremy’s assistant took a 12 in piece and Jeremy stated he needed it to be much bigger. Which, if intel only takes the 12in makes me feel more eerie towards this entire situation. He repeatedly mentioned how the previous owners insurance hadn’t paid them for work in the past. It felt a lot like revenge for the previous owner and by the way you’re throwing their information out there like that, confirms that hunch. This large missing siding from the side of my house was not laying on the ground. They tore it off and claimed they needed it. We asked them to take it off of t

Sincerely, Laura 815-977-4050 Hello, We were working with Wiggale LLC (Mark Gale) We never toke any siding off the home. He sold the home we were not contacted again until you called us.

Good morning Dante, I’m sorry to hear that. Donny has been pulled in many different directions this season. We had a employee sick for sometime and he’s been trying to pick up the slack. It’s been a challenging year. I’m sorry you were affected. Sincerely, Laura From Randy Palmeri and Son

I highly recommend Randy and his crew. I needed a new roof and siding after the hail storm last year in Oregon. My dad was a 26-year Navy veteran and I had seen and heard about the great things they do for veterans and wanted to give my business to a company that valued those who served our country. I truly could not be more happy with the service and communication that they gave me. I met several times with Randy, picked out what I liked and the rest is history. The product was shipped to my house. The crew did an amazing job. The roof was done on a day when I was not home. I could not even tell they were there when I got home. The yard did not have a speck of scrap left behind. My house went from looking like it belonged in the ghetto to looking like a home that I could be proud of. Now on to the next project of doors and the porch. Thank you for everything, Randy and crew.
