I own a home in Atlanta the has a ludowici spanish tile roof ( approx 55 square) with built-in copper box gutters. The entire gutter system and the soffit had to be replaced...I hired hl forbes to perform the renovation, at that time Paul Wiederhold was working for HL Forbes as lead foreman and performed much of the work...the total cost of the job was $40k+ which was supposed to include a 20 year warranty... The company is now owned by Paul Wiederhold and is now called Oldeworldmasters. Since then, I have had nothing but trouble with the copper work...most every seam in the box leaks causing damage to the new soffit, no expansion joints were incorporated into the gutter causing the soldered joints to crack, when Paul was contacted, he sent a fellow by the name of Corlis Burchell to perform repairs, not only did not repair the existing leaks, but created new ones by allowing an apprentice to experiment on my house...Even though Corlis has been in this business for 30 years, his work is sub-standard and does not care about quality. Anyone that needs any copper or slate/tile work done should avoid this company completely. I may be contacted directly or if anyone wants to see the work first hand, they may come out and take a look at my house...or I can provide the name of some slate and tile contractors that have been out to repair work that should have been covered under warranty. regards Bill Anderson billanderson10257@yahoo.com  |
