I contacted Erie, in response to an ad they placed in the Youngstown Vindicator. I needed repairs to my roof. A smooth talking salesman, and companion showed up at my house. After convincing me that they were an honest and upright Construction Company, and their measurement of my roof, I agreed to a price to replace my roof.
A few days later, a man indentified as their Construction Foreman showed up and made a detailed measurement of the roof. A couple of days later, The Salesman showed up, all in a lather, telling me that in getting the correct, measurement of the roof, It was going to be necessary to buy more rubber roofing for the back section of roof. He claimed that the additional cost was going to be $6000.00. After some negotiating, he asked if I would absorb one half of the cost. Feeling sorry for him, I agreed to the additional $3000.00.
What a Boob. I should have checked the cost of the roofing before I agreed. I checked afterward, and found the cost of the entire piece of rubber roofing required, is only $635.00. I also found out that Erie Construction, is not a construction Company at all. They are merely a sales Company, utilizing sub contractors to do the work, While Erie sits on it's butt and collects an outlandish amount of money, for making a few phone calls. They ordered too much material for the job, which was paid for by me. When the sub-contractor left, they took all the extra material with them, and I received no credit for it. They said they are a member of the BBB, but I checked on line, and the BBB has no record of them.
If they ever show up at Your house, show them the exit, quickly. They are not the most honest people around. And they Certainly are not a construction Company
