Rui will come to your home with his girlfriend Lilliana to make it look like that they are honest and good working people. Once they take your deposit, the both of them are no where to be found and do not respond to your phone messages.
The best way to describe Rui Caluro is he is a professional scammer posing as a roofer. Has no clue what he is doing. The only reason he got the job was on humanitarian grounds of helping a business in difficult COVID times. This backfired to the extent, we had to hire another roofing company to redo the entire roof.
In hindsight we now realize he not only messed up in doing the roof, he actually misguided us and ripped apart a good roof which could have been saved with some basic maintenance.
Took about a month to complete a day's work and in the first rain after the work was completed our roof started to leak. All efforts to get him to back to rectify were futile. Only then we realized this guy is a fraud. After taking a major portion of the payment in advance, he had the audacity to demand the remaining portion to be transferred to his account as a precondition to come (I admire his confidence in thinking we would do that). We hired a professional roofing inspector to analyse the extent of damage Rui had done - the assessment was there was nothing he had done right and the only way out was to redo the entire roof. The moron even ripped our existing chimney flashing and did not replace it. There were exposed nails everywhere and terrible work around vents allowing for leakage. Zero workmanship in the way shingles were installed and he used 2 different company shingles ending up with 2 different shades. The roofing company that came to redo the roof were surprised how some one can mess up so much, it was the worst roofing job they had ever come across.
We also gave him extra work of Eaves Drops and Insulation and both were blunders as well.
We lost a good portion that we paid in advances and hope he does not scam more folks. So much for being compassionate with the wrong people
We reached out to 6 professional roofing companies who all echoed the same feedback on the terrible workmanship done. Also note all the companies that quoted us did not take a single penny in advance with full payment only after the job is completed.
I'm not one to write reviews, but this guy Rui Calouro is the absolute worst person you can hire. He started the job by reversing his trailer into my wall causing damage and failed to tell me about it until I confronted him after the job was completed, luckily enough I have a camera system which caught him in the act. He had done 2 houses on the street which have not been fully completed and has failed to return to finish after numerous calls. His finishing / detailed work is pathetic he leaves exposed nails on the flashing and does not caulk where it should be sealed, he used Gray caulking on my Brown flashing, he is not punctual and does not show up when he says he will. He failed to provide me with a invoice because I held back a little money in order to repair the wall, the capping on the roof is pathetic and I now am getting another company to come remove it and replace it which I'm going to have to pay another $1100.00. He also damaged my easetrough which he has not replaced yet which I'm sure I'll also have to pay for. All and all you live and learn in life and this was a big lesson for me so please if you are debating using this guy and read this STAY AWAY. This guy is a clown and should not be in business. Hope this helps people from getting shafted by this guy. He may have cost me a bit of extra money but hope the review costs him thousands. P.s. I'm still waiting on a response from him.
