Action Construction I hired James Coughlin, owner of Action Construction, to shingle my multi-family roof. The written proposal price was $3,000.00 with 50% to be paid at the signing of the proposal and balance upon completion. Mr Coughlin was paid a money order of $1,500.00 for the deposit but, he never started the job. Hampton New Hampshire

BUYER BEWARE - In April of 2010 I contracted services from james Coughlin, owner of Action Construction, for roofing services. The written proposal was for to tarp off all walls, landscaping and surrounding yard, strip existing shingles to bare wood surfaces, renail loose boards, install 3' of ice and water shiled along all eaves and valleys around any roof protrusions, install 8" aluminum dripedge on all rake and fascia boards, apply 15# roof underlayment on remaining roof surfaces and to install a 30 yr warranty IKO Cambridge shingles with a five year warranty guarantee on workmanship and also included was to remove any debris due to this job. I had received two other  quotes and his was within the range of the other two quotes but he was referred by someone that I knew. He also shared with me that he did the roof of a local church and a nearby laundromat.

I paid him his requested 50% down or $1,500.00 and he disappeared and disconnected his number. He never started the project, just took the money and ran. I later found out he did this to a nubmer of individuals and he relocates throughout New Hamphsire wihtout a forwarding address and he changed his telephone number frequently.
