I either leave a five star to support local business, or nothing. The OP should have called the company and given them 48 hours to clean up the mess.

No surprise that the OP "got into it" with his neighbor. They obviously don't trust each other; bars on their windows and such.

Not a ****ing chance. If it's happened once, it's happened many times before.

I blame the OP for living so close to his neighbor!

Why? This company already messed up the yard and didn't clean it up. What would have happened if Slew would have just "let it go". I would have told the guy the review STAYS up until there is not one shred of evidence even one nail landed in my yard.

And this is what you get for hiring illegal aliens. And don't tell me this crew was stacked with 20 year old white dudes. Not in this country.

Imagine wearing a dead, rotting skunk around your neck all day, every day and still expecting people to not avoid your society. It's probably close to that. The liberals in our golfing group finally got the message and wandered off - probably to form groups with other retards also wearing dead, rotting skunks around their necks. If they can find them.

Shoddy workmanship, my roofers put down tarps all around the house along with a dumpster in the driveway and I warned them right off that when that wind comes sweeping off the lake anything light will get airborne and blow all over. Especially when they did the boat house.

They did a bang-up job and made several sweeps of the yard when done with a long magnetic rod to snatch up any stray nails.

The rotting skunk odor would be an improvement for a lot of them.

Was there any debris in the front yard? If not, then they obviously cleaned up what they could.

They should have at least left a note asking for contact so they could get a guy in there to pick up the debris and run a magnet sweeper in the back yard. Was it windy? Maybe they did leave a note and it blew off. Maybe they asked the client to pass their info to Slew, but since their relationship isn't good, the client-neighbor didn't do it. If the roofers didn't do any that, that was bad on the roofer's part. Still, I would have given the company an opportunity to clean it up before going on a crusade against them. I seriously doubt they went out of their way to fling debris into Slew's back yard.

Slew values his privacy, doesn't want people in his back yard, despite the fact that the roofing crew had a clear view of it for a day or two. OK, I respect that. Slew, because he wants no one in his yard, chose to clean it up himself. OK. So now he's just got a damage claim. So what do you want, Slew? 3 hours @ $ 33/hr = $ 100. 3 hrs @ $ 50 = $ 150, plus an apology that the roofer has apparently already given.

It also sounds like you and the neighbor aren't friends, or even on very good terms, even before this incident. That's the thing that concerns me most here.

So what happened with the front yard, @slewfoot? Cleaned up, or no?

If it's negligence, what practice SHOULD the roofers have used to prevent that situation? Maybe installing temporary netting, like at golf driving ranges? Should that be required when performing work in neighborhoods?


Finally, you're the contractor. Despite your best efforts, debris went into Slew's locked up back yard. What would you have done about it, specifically, since Slew and family were out of town for an extended period of time? You freely admit you caused the issue, whether it was simply a normal and customary part of the job, or you specifically had intentional negligence.

What do you do as the owner to rectify the situation?

If they were unable to do the job safely without impacting others they should have waited until an agreement was made before proceeding. What if it was your pets,kids or cars that had debris rained down on them?

And why do any of you think it was OK for their home grown food to be shit on? Some of you are totally clueless.

Nope, it’s all they got. In fairness they think about Biden the same way many of us think about Trump’s job performance and antics. The difference between them and us is we can have a discussion without bringing it up every chance we get. They have no tolerance for anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

The reality for me is that of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of individuals I interact with across a handful of websites on a fairly regular basis it’s only these three or four that act this way so it’s pretty insignificant to me. As I’ve said before, just have to decide if seeing the same type of post with the same childish comments when you try to add to a conversation is worth coming here. Most days anymore it just isn’t.

Nothing in the front yard but should not excuse throwing wherever and landing on all the plants breaking and destroying them. That is the lame excuse they gave their boss.

If they did clean it up before we got back, there would still be dead plants all over.
