After having read the reports and rebuttals concerning Select Roofing, I felt I had to write.
I have a rental property in Arlington that I inherited from my parents. The roof was quite old and had several bad areas which allowed water to flow into the home. There was some damage done to the interior which turned out to be structural as well as unsightly.
The saleman from Select Construction, Josh Edwards, is someone I have known for many years and trusted. He came out and looked over the roof and told me how bad the condition was and that I needed to contact my insurance company. I set up an appointment with the insurance adjuster and Josh who took control of the inspection. The adjuster agreed to the need of a replacement roof and I obviously gave the job to Select Construction who agreed to do the job for whatever the insurance company paid me.
They started the job and finished on the day they scheduled. They also cleaned up after themselves not to only to my satisfation, but also tho that of my tenants who were very pleased with the workers that actually did the job. After completion, there was a minor problem that arose and they actually came out on a Sunday to take care of the problem. While there, they actually did some work that was not part of the bid. I wasn't just satisfied with the work, I was ecstatic. Good job and free labor!
The only money they requested was what the insurance company paid. I had absolutely NO out of pocket expense. I always try to use people who are trying to start a new company because I feel like they will give good service at a reasonable price to help build there reputation. Most large companies are of the "take it or leave it" mindset. Select Construction proved the point, again.
Once my repairs were finished, I noticed problems we were having on our company roof. Even though Select Construction does not do commercial roofs like we have, Josh and Rhett both came out and looked it over. Again, they said we should contact our insurance carrier because we did have several areas of damage. They did this knowing full well that they would not get anything out of us for there time and expertise. (We ended up getting approximately $35,000 from our insurance company for repairs).
I don't believe anyone that dealt with Select Construction has would have any negative remarks if they were treated the way I was. They were prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. They did EVERYTHING they said they would do, WHEN they said they would do it! I have nothing but praise for there efforts. Keep up the good work guys!
I would be willing to speak with anyone who would like to ask me about Secet Construction or see their work. I can be contacted at
I was alarmed to a knock on the door earlier this year. After opening the door i was approached by a hispanic gentleman explaining that he was in the neighborhood doing some work and wanted to inspect our roof for hail damage. I explained that we did not have any damage, to which he replied that we did and that it was a free roof inspection and he would show us a video of the damage. Being alone in the house i denied the inpection, took his info and listened to him sell his company to me for approx 20 minutes. Licensed roofing company, in business 11 years, would help with our deductible, master installers, would handle the entire insurance claim, etc, etc...I expalined that i would speak to my husband and get back with him. After speaking to my husband, he mentioned that he had heard a few stories from co-workers explaining the roofing scams that were sweeping the DFW area. After hearing this i did a little research on the company and this is what i found.
The company Select Construction LLC claims to have been in business for 11 years. After searching the owners name online i was able to locate a lot of his persoanl info to which i used for a back ground check. The back ground check revealed that the owner of this company had held several differnt jobs over the past few years. Most of which was not even closly related to the roofing business. The last job revealed employement at another roofing company earlier in the year. After contacting that roofing company, they explained that this individual had recently quit their company and took a few of their employees with him in an attempt to start his own roofing business after being in the industry for only a few months. they explained that he was highly inexperienced and knew nothing about installing a roof system. He aparantly relies on unlicensed and more than likley uninsured sub-contractors that he finds off the street to install the roofs. they immediatly urged me not to do business with him. After hanging up with them i continued my research and found that Select Construction LLC was not a licensed roofing company and did not have a real business address. The burleson address given to us was/is actually his personal home. Shockingly, after all that we were told by their employee at our front door, it was revealed that this company is not licensed, had only been in business for a few weeks, had just left another roofing company a couple months before knocking on our door, has no office or business address, has no real experience installing roof systems, and is simply paying door knockers to go out and drum up business by telling homeowners lies. I wanted to be sure to spread the word to all DFW residents before they made a huge mistake. bascially, everything about this company was/is a lie. Lesson learned on my part. I will be sure to research every company that we ever consider for hire from now on. This was a HUGE eye opener for us. Scary!!
