1 Star Review get Results.
Got home from a mini vacation the other day. It was nice to get out of town. When we arrived back home, my wife let the dog out back to pee followed by some yelling.
While we were gone, the neighbor had their roof done. On a guess, maybe 30% of their old materials, was in our yard killing off many plants and veggies. Also picking up about a hundred Apricots off the tree. Roofing paper, old shingles crushing it all, nails everywhere. I went over to the neighbors house to get the name of the company. They assumed I was blaming them. We go into it but they gave me the name. I found them online and is no local schmo company. Locally owned but facilities statewide-5 stars. Apparently, they take their reviews seriously. I called but had to leave a message. So, I took some pics of the mess and damage and along with an explanation, posted it all online. The owner called first thing yesterday morning. I didn't want anyone back there and took us 3 hours to clean it all up. Triple checking to get all the nails. The man was overly apologetic swearing he will take care of that particular crew. He called back a short time later giving him a lame reason they could not get into the yard to clean it up because of the locked gate and the Lars Bars but this did not excuse the fact of throwing it all off and having it land wherever and doing the damage it did. He will be coming by Tuesday to make amends. I have no idea what he has in mind as our roof is only 2 years old. I said I would "temporarily" remove the review until Tuesday. Guess we'll see how this plays out. Better be one hell of a Pizza! |

You should have given him the chance to make good and let his people clean up the mess before you smeared him on the internet.

Cliffs: Slew cleans up somebody else's mess in his yard, and says it was picked up because he left a bad review.
Lefty logic in action right there. |

It took a 1-star review to get the Ohio car dealership (where I bought my 124 Spider) to finally honor their commitment to me. I'll leave out details for brevity, but the dealer was supposed to replace seat rails on the car prior to shipping it; they didn't, then said they would provide the parts later.
After a month of ghosting, I posted a 1-star review on DealerRater, and almost immediately got a call from the GM. The parts to fix were ordered pretty promptly. |

I lit into them and blistered their company on their website. They offered a year of free pest control and I had no interest. There was no excuse for doing that. Same goes for the damage done to Slew's yard, you may let folks walk all over you, some of us won't. |

The miscreant company deserved a chance to make it right before he smeared them. It's people like you and Slew who are the reasong that businesses in this country are closing down and leaving. How about taking a deep breath, calming down, and trying to solve issues like adults do? Without the screaming and outrage. |

Why yes I am thank you for noticing. Sadly I have ignorant slurpers following me around with their buckets full of nourishment given to them from their content provider. |

I find myself somewhere in the middle. On one hand, at least they are trying to resolve the issue. On the other hand, future potential customers deserve to know the experiences of previous customers. Most sensible people understand things happen and will appreciate the fact the company is willing to right a wrong. |

I'm all about private property rights, and respecting them. I also have common sense. Roofing is a messy business, it just is. Windy day? Yeah, I could see torn up shingles flying into the neighbor's yard. And I can see how the roofing company, unable to gain access to Slew's back yard, finally left. 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. |

The roofers saw Slew's Biden sign and probably figured a few shingles and nails would be the least of his problems. Understandable mistake. |
