Erie Construction keeps showing up at my elderly father's house wanting to do work. First, they installed windows which were outrageously priced. Then the company came back to inspect the windows months later and said he needed a new roof. Upon the inspection of roof, these men said he needed a new roof and there was mold. My father who can't climb a ladder due to his age took their word on it because they showed him pictures. They forced him into a $29,000 contract to replace the roof on a house less than 2,000 sq ft This price is at least 2-3 time higher than what it should be. My father does not understand construction costs and they sold him everything they could sell him and raised the labor amount because he is elderly and lives alone. There was no one else there to check behind them and it was too late to change things before the family found out v I have contacted Erie Construction 4 time to attempt to see why this is so high. I keep getting told someone will call me back but no one ever calls me back. My father has been targeted because of his age and when I explain the situation to someone at Erie Construction they are proud of what they have done, start doing a sales pitch with me, and then say someone will call me back. I never hear from anyone and my father will be out $29,000 because Erie Construction has pushed me off past the date to cancel the contract.

Financial abuse against the elderly
AUTHOR: FloridaNative - (USA)

First, read up on financial abuse against the elderly. From your post, it sounds like this company is engaging in elder explotation.
If it were a family member of mine, I would engage an attorney to cancel the contract and obtain a refund. This may or may not involve a suit.
After you have resolved this issue and reported this company and its participants to every agency handling this type of fraud, then put in protective measures to insulate your Father from future predators.
