Elite Roofing Company – Water Damage Documentary [Video]

0
0

This video documentary is a Nashville residential roofing review, concerning the services of Elite Roofing Company of Nashville Inc, 1048 Jefferson Street, Nashville, TN 37208, owned by Mr. D’Arcy O. Porter.

This documentary shows how our recently purchased Brentwood, Tennessee home, suffered EXTENSIVE WATER DAMAGE as a result of hiring Elite Roofing Company of Nashville to perform a $25,000.00 one-story residential re-roof. To make matters worse, Elite Roofing Company of Nashville, claiming to be a General Contractor, failed to hire QUALIFIED people to satisfactorily fix the damage done to our home. As a result, after MANY requests to Mr. Porter to professionally repair the damage they caused, we were forced to fire Elite Roofing and hire our own qualified subcontractors, out of our pocket.

To this day, over a YEAR later, we have yet to receive a single cent from Elite Roofing Company of Nashville, for our damages, and their insurance company, Builders Mutual, has DENIED our claim!

Buyers BEWARE! This could be you or your neighbors next!

PROTECT those you LOVE & help SPREAD THE WORD!



Emergency Services for Interior Water Damage [Video]

This video shows Elite Roofing Company of Nashville, extracting a pickup truck FULL of WET INSULATION from our attic, after failing to cover our roof during a rain storm, while performing a residential roof job, at a home that we had RECENTLY PURCHASED, in Brentwood, Tennessee; regretfully causing SERIOUS WATER DAMAGE to our interior finishes, from this massive leak. To make matters worse, Elite Roofing failed to hire QUALIFIED CONTRACTORS to perform the repairs, and what should have been fixed in three weeks took FOUR MONTHS!

This is ROUND ONE of TWO ROUNDS of drywall / sheetrock demolition, of our interior ceilings and walls, including the removal of the WET batt insulation in our walls. Elite Roofing Company’s workmanship was SO POOR that we finally had to tear out the newly installed sheetrock and hire our own QUALIFIED professionals to repair our home.

To this day, Elite Roofing Company of Nashville has FAILED to reimburse us for these repairs, and their insurance company, Builders Mutual, has DENIED our claim. Don’t let this be YOU NEXT! Buyers BEWARE!!!


HOMEOWNER Trains & Supervises “GAF Factory-Certified Contractor’s” Roofing Crew [Video]

My wife Fawn, spent 19 hours, UP ON THE ROOF, training and supervising Elite Roofing Company of Nashville’s crew, after hiring Elite for $25,000 to perform that work! UNBELIEVABLE! Although Elite Roofing Company of Nashville claims to be a GAF Factory-Certified Contractor, NEITHER of the crews that Elite sent to work on our roof were QUALIFIED to install the GAF roofing system that Elite Roofing Company SOLD TO US!

Fawn provided GAF manufacturer specifications and instructed Elite’s crew on the CORRECT installation techniques per GAF published guidelines for the roofing materials that Elite sold us. I absolutely couldn’t believe my eyes! TWO separate residential crews, with a GAF Factory-Certified Contractor, who don’t even know how to install architectural shingles properly! GAF certainly needs to REVOKE their certification! However, when we contacted GAF, they refused to get involved. We are extremely disappointed, both in Elite and GAF, for this grand illusion of competence & skill!

In our experience now, the GAF certification is down-right DECEPTIVE! It misled us to believe that Elite’s crews were TRAINED & QUALIFIED to install the GAF roofing system that Elite Roofing sold us! ABSOLUTELY, OUTRAGEOUSLY, INCORRECT!

The GAF products included in this project were: GAF Timberline HD Cool Series (Energy-Star) architectural shingles, Cool Barkwood in color, GAF Deck-Armor underlayment, GAF Storm Guard Leak Barrier (ice and water shield), and GAF Master Flow Green Machine Dual-Powered Roof Exhaust Vents. We also installed Air Vent Hip Ridge Vents, and two Solatube Brighten Up Series, 160 DS skylights. This contract also included a GAF System Plus Lifetime Warranty.


SHODDY Interior Repairs by Nashville General Contractor [Video]

This video shows ROUND TWO of the INTERIOR DEMOLITIONS, inside our recently purchased Brentwood, Tennessee home, thanks to the POOR WORKMANSHIP of Elite Roofing Company of Nashville!

Although Elite Roofing Company of Nashville boasts of holding a General Contractors License, and despite our many pleas to D’Arcy Porter (the owner of Elite Roofing) to hire competent skilled tradesmen to repair the damage that his company caused to the interior of our home (due to water damage), Elite Roofing Company performed SUBSTANDARD WORK, with improperly installed batt insulation in our exterior walls, and horrible sheetrock work, replacing our family room ceiling and office wall.

Finally, we were forced to FIRE Elite Roofing Company of Nashville and hire our own QUALIFIED subcontractors (paid out of our pocket), to repair Elite’s damage to our house.

It simply is BEYOND comprehension to us, WHY Elite Roofing Company of Nashville is ALLOWED to maintain a GENERAL CONTRACTORS LICENSE in the State of Tennessee, while performing such SHODDY workmanship! This video highlights the visible LACK of QUALITY in these interior repairs. It shows the removal of the blown fiberglass insulation in our attic, to prepare for the drywall ceiling demolition, and walks the viewer through that demolition process, to show the final insulation and sheetrock CORRECTLY INSTALLED by QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS!  

Now, over a YEAR later, Elite Roofing Company of Nashville still HAS NOT reimbursed us for any of these repairs!

Although the BBB would have you believe that Elite Roofing Company is an outstanding member of our community, the research that we did at the Davidson County Courthouse revealed a bit of a different story. (On a side note, whenever entering high dollar contracts in the future, we will DEFINITELY make a trip to the courthouse to view records on any lawsuits that have been filed against that company. It may be a bit of a hassle on the front-end, but it can save you SO MUCH headache and pain down the road!)

Here are some of the claims that we found in the court records against Elite Roofing Company of Nashville:

  • 11/16/2012 Nashville Attorney, Rachel L Bell, filed a lawsuit against Elite Roofing Company of Nashville in Davidson County Circuit Court, for $30,935.04 in unpaid legal services (this was previously the Attorney who represented Elite Roofing Company in a number of lawsuits.)

This wasn’t all the lawsuits in the courthouse records, that have been filed against Elite Roofing Company of Nashville, but the courthouse was having problems with their printers that day and this was all that we took the time to document. We learned what we came for, which was that Elite Roofing was no stranger to being sued, and that their quality of workmanship and financial integrity had long been issues for the company.

One of our initiatives in holding D’Arcy and Mary Porter accountable, for the fraudulent business practices that they have exhibited through Elite Roofing Company of Nashville, will be keeping a public record of any other business entities that they have formed, monitoring their certifications as a “Minority-Owned Business” with the various certifying government agencies, and informing those agencies about the outstanding judgments and fraudulent practices that we have witnessed, in an effort to have their certifications suspended, revoked, or disbarred until such a time as they are consistently performing good business within the state, have paid their outstanding judgments as ordered by the courts, and have modified their business model to comply with local and federal guidelines for affirmative action programs.
