Salazar Roofing& Construction Double Roofing and Gutter Disaster Norman, Oklahoma

I hired Salazar Roofing to put a new roof on my house in October 2009. It is now Febuary 2010. It is now two roofs later. The first roof looked worse than the old roof. My neighbors were apalled and guests asked when I was getting a new roof.

The first roof has soft spots where they did not replace decking. The shingles looked old and the outer edges were curled and raised. The turbines were crooked and rusted and did not match the vents.

The gutters were hung crooked and the trim was knocked loose with nails protruding and missing. One gutter downspout blocked the backyard fence gate from opening. The gutter company left the old gutter clamps on the house under the shingles and caused the shingles to bow up.

I called Salazar and was told that the roof was fine and would lay down when it was summer. I insisted that the owner come out and look and was told he would but he never came. He sent other people out. I had two other roofers inspect the roof and they agreed it had soft spots and was poorly done.

Salazar agreed to re roof which they did. It was better but still looks older than anyone elses in the neighborhood and it is the newest. They came out over 4 times and it is still not right.

The gutter company Salazar sent has been out 5 0r 6 times to rehang the gutters. Now they have caused the siding under the gutters to seperate and crack. The trim is falling off. I called them again and they caulked the crack and did not repair the trim. The nails are still missing and the ones left on almost falling out.

I have been dealing with this for over 4 months and it still is a mess. I am afraid I now will have to replace my entire front under the gutters due to the 2 foot or more seperation and large crack  where it is coming loose from the house.

I have not payed them any money yet but they are wanting to be paid. I am not satisfied with the horrible workmanship. They even put the second roofs shingles in my neighbors yard and left tiret racks in her grass.

I have refused to pay and now I see in the contract that they will put a mechanical lein on my house if I do not pay. I don't know what I can  do from here. I need help. Should I I hire a lawyer? Small claims court? I have a contract for $4550.00 but have not paid them.

My neighbors will not use them for a new roof and my family and friends are apalled at the job they have done. They all said they will back me if it goes to court.
