Ron Beaver was aksed to submit a proposal for the membrane roof at 17 Old Orchard St.in Old Orchard Beach Maine. This is a 40' x 80' commercial building in the heart of this resort town. He proposed replacing the exisitng roof at a cost of $17,000. He was paid in two installments, $10,000 to begin the job and $7,000 on November 9 at completion. The owner of the building, a single woman, never took the time to climb up on the roof to see what had been done. She did notice a considerable mess in the yard behind the building and called Beaver to have it cleaned up.
Since this building is essentially empty, the seasonal occupants having left shortly after Labor Day, it was not until the Spring 2009 that leaks were notice by the tenants. Upon inspection of the roof, it was determined that All American Contracting and Ron Beaver had left the exisintg 20-plus year old membrane and simply poured HOT asphalt on the rubber, burning what was left of the existing roof. He then shoveled rocks on top to cover the mess. Calls made to him for an explanation and for requests to get the roof properly done went unanswered until finally his telephones were disconnected.
Every effort should be made to avoid this company and Ron Beaver who also, we have now learned, runs another scam operation, Eager Beaver Painting. We will be Eager to see Beaver brought into court for his hurtful and illegal behavior as a building contractor.
