Don't hire this guy! 21 Months after I hired him, and instead of new siding I have $50,000+ in damage caused by him, and had to hire council to redress the damage! Does not pass code, Failed regional building code in a spectacular fashion. Left my house as a fire hazard from modifying wiring improperly . Attempts to file a malicious lien to force me into accepting shoddy work, and suppress publishing my opinion. So far, has ignored CDARA notice, multiple requests to address deficiencies, and certified letters. Intrigued? Read on..... Hired him (Kyriakos Melas, Elisa Melas, Black n White Roofing and Exteriors) to do roofing, gutters, and siding because of hail damage. The problems began the day they began doing the roof. 1. Showed up at 1:00pm to begin my roof. 2. Next day they began the roof. It took months to get them to show up and work on the rest of the contract (gutters and siding).... 3. Gutters installed wrong, they were installed with incorrect drop, causing water to pool, run the wrong way. 4. Downspouts attached incorrectly/without fasteners and fell off the first time it rained hard. 5. Attempted to install gutters where they didn't go, somehow managing to destroy the drip-edge causing the brand new roof to no longer pass code. 6. installed the wrong siding (wrong color and wrong lap, didn't replace damaged J trim, didn't meet code, covered attic vents, covered crawl space vents, left light fixture dangling by its wires, wires exposed to weather.........etc....) It took months, (nearly 9 months) to get the wrong siding addressed. No one would even show up to look at it for months. Finally someone came and agreed it was wrong, gutters weren't right, and said they would make it right. Months of my asking for updates and months of my updates getting ignored they finally agree to make it right.Except they made it worse. Way Way Way Way worse. So now: 7. Entire house doesn't pass code, 8. Siding falling off in multiple places, collecting siding from the area has become a neighborhood event. 9. Electrical outlets not meeting code any longer. 10. Waterproofing beneath siding has been destroyed around entire house 11. Siding installed wrong in hundreds of places. (Yes, I did count them, and took images) 12. Siding manufacturer came out to see this disaster and said everything that Black N White installed is damaged beyond reuse by their improper handling and installation, the product must be removed, disposed of, and replaced with undamaged new product. 13. Siding installed over live electrical (where a light should be, I even bought them a new light fixture to install there.....) leaving an un-grounded, un-covered, non moist/wet location box and wiring exposed to the elements. 14. Complete gaps between pieces of siding. 15. Siding installed with ends butted against each other, and no overlap 16. Roofing screws driven through the faces of trim in attempt to correct loose pieces from incorrect install 17. Used non-recommended steel nails with small heads to fasten siding. Resulting in rust-streaking, and siding pulling over small nail heads 18. Drove fasteners way too hard, crushing siding, tearing out nail slots, and causing wrinkles...... The list of problems is far longer, google would not let me leave more information. Workers were vulgar, loud, and made disparaging comments about my children through the open window. (they went as far as blowing cigarette smoke into my open windows and whistled at my little girls through my open windows!!!!) This is the "reader's digest" condensed version. - the list of problems is far longer. "
