It's actually been done for more than a week but there were a bunch of loose ends to tie up.
Here it is when they first started
Here it is halfway through.
And the finished product.
I think it looks really nice, they did a good job. Unfortunately some crazy stuff happened while they were working on it.
Two of our newish bushes were crushed and killed. They're two years old and survived the winter where we got tons of really heavy snow. I have no idea what they could have done to kill them but they did a very thorough job of it. And then they stuck the broken off branches back in the ground so they would still look like a bush.
They also broke two blocks in the retaining wall. Then flipped the one over so that the broken part wasn't as visible and replaced the other with a block that doesn't match the wall.
And the third issue was how little marks of tar got all over the siding where the shingles hit it after they were thrown off the roof.
We brought the issues up to the owner of the company so he reduced the price of the roof to pay for the bushes and had the guys come back to clean the tar off the siding. He's not going to do anything about the wall but we didn't ask him to, it's in pretty bad shape and we don't really care since it will need to be replaced in the near future.
The guys had to clean the house twice to get all the tar off but it looks much better now. Probably better than it did before they started.
We're really glad they took care of the damage but a little annoyed that the guys tried to hide the problems rather than bringing them to our attention. We understand that things happen when you do home improvements. It made us more mad that they didn't say anything than if they had come to us to start with.
But right now, all's well that ends well.
