APEX Roofing & Exteriors

I contracted Jeff McLindon (Apex owner) in March of 2022 to install a roof and windows at an investment property in Glenshaw. He installed the roof in May after some delay. The windows are a completely different story. The were originally scheduled to be installed in April then in May (he told me that the supplier screwed up the initial order). Then when the May date arrived he told me that the supplier screwed up again and ended up cancelling the order. He then ordered windows through a different supplier, which were scheduled to be installed the last week in July (beginning Thursday 7.28.22). When that day came and went he told me that the windows would absolutely be installed by end of day today (8.2.22) and that he would "work until midnight if needed" to make sure they were installed. The last conversation I had with him was on Saturday 7.29.22. After that he went radio silent and he has since seemingly disconnected his phone service and/or changed his number. DO NOT EVER WORK WITH JEFF MCLINDON / APEX / OR ANY OTHER BUSINESS AFFILIATED WITH HIM. Jeff has cost me significant time and money with his antics -- and it looks like I got totally scammed.

I hired Jeff on April 7th, 2021 to perform a full siding replacement on my house for about $60,000. He took a down payment of $23,920 to order materials and told me it would be about 3 to 4 weeks to start the project assuming materials were available. AFTER taking the deposit, he stated that it would be about 4 weeks to get the materials in. Several weeks later with no responses from Jeff following several messages, he finally said that the materials were delayed. The materials came in toward the end of May/beginning of June (or at least that is what he told me) and then he kept giving excuses on why he wasn't able to start the project. After telling him I was going with a different contractor in the middle of July due to the delays, I requested my deposit back and was willing to take any materials he had ordered and have him refund me only the difference so that he wasn't out the cost of materials. He stated that he would refund me the entire amount but that he wouldn't be able to do so until he was paid for some of his insurance jobs. It turns out that he used my down payment to front the material costs for several insurance jobs rather than actually purchasing the materials for my project. It is now several weeks later and he still hasn't refunded my payment. I have bent over backwards to avoid litigation and resolve this amicably, but Jeff refuses to respond to my texts and calls, so litigation appears to be the only logical next step. I do not usually write reviews, but I am writing this one to tell people to beware of using this contractor. Jeff sounds like a nice guy and may be very good at what he does (I don't know because no work was ever performed), but he clearly overextends himself and his business practices are unethical if not fraudulent in using your down payment for material costs to fund other projects. Please be careful in hiring Apex Roofing and Exteriors!

Consumer beware!!! Fraudulent practices and not properly insured. Replaced roof and siding Summer 2018. Poor workmanship and improper installation caused water and mold damage to 2 interior rooms. Owner took full responsibility and promised to correct. After 14 months of no-shows and excuses, I filed with magistrate. I was awarded $12,000 in damages. He has yet to pay a penny towards damages. Had he been insured, this could have easily been resolved. Apex also charged me for work/products not completed/used.
