Minneapolis Roofing Company Joins Class Action Lawsuit Against HomeAdvisor

Leave a comment

Storm Group Roofing is joining a class action lawsuit against HomeAdvisor alleging fraudulent practices and demanding a refund on $2,000 of fees accrued after initially canceling their account with the company.

Minneapolis, MN, USA — Storm Group Roofing, a Minneapolis roofing company headquartered in Brooklyn Park, MN, has joined a class action lawsuit against HomeAdvisor claiming fraudulent practices in their lead generation services. Storm Group is claiming that over the course of four months, HomeAdvisor wrongly charged them over $1,700 for dead leads including customers that were out of state, did not respond, or weren’t interested in roofing services. Representatives of the roofing company documented its communications with HomeAdvisor in a YouTube video, however were demanded to take it down before any refunds would be made.

Over the course of four months, representatives of the roofing company attempted to cancel its HomeAdvisor account only to continue being billed for unwanted services. On February 19, 2016, Storm Group Roofing initially contacted HomeAdvisor to cancel its account after spending $1,000 and receiving three quality leads. In the mid-June, the Minneapolis roofing company was charged an additional $700 by HomeAdvisor though they had previously requested their account be canceled. This unrequested restart in services generated no quality leads for the company. Storm Group Roofing is demanding a full refund of all charges accrued after February as well as the $347 sign up fee.

The roofing company documented its communications with HomeAdvisor in a YouTube video. The 15-minute video captures the multiple phone conversations that took place between Storm Group Roofing employees and HomeAdvisor’s customer service team between June 13th and 20th in which requests to cancel the account and receive a refund were made. The roofing company posted the video to its YouTube channel on June 20th and within a week it has garnered over 1,700 views. Upon viewing this video, representatives from HomeAdvisor agreed to refund $1,045 (Fees for leads accrued after February and the sign up fee) on the condition that the video is taken down.

“There is no way to prove that HomeAdvisor is not sending the same leads to multiple companies and charging each one separately regardless if they get the job or not,” said Dmitry Lipinski, owner of Storm Group Roofing. “To that point, there is no way to prove that the phone numbers of the leads we received belong to real people as they are four-digit extensions created by HomeAdvisor.”

Storm Group Roofing has refused to remove the video from their YouTube account and is demanding a full refund of the fees they were charged after the first request to cancel their account was made. The Minneapolis roofing company is joining a class action lawsuit against HomeAdvisor alleging fraudulent practices.

Storm Group Roofing Announces the Use of Drones for Twin Cities Roofing Services

Leave a comment

Storm Group Roofing, L.L.C., a Twin Cities roofing contractor, announces complimentary drone usage in all its roof replacement and roof repair jobs.

Minneapolis, MN, USA — Storm Group Roofing, a Minneapolis roofing company, is now using drones to enhance its roof replacement and roof repair services. The Brooklyn Park-based roofing company hails drone technology for its ability to clearly see places where ladders can’t reach; reducing the risk of falls for Minneapolis roofers. In addition, Storm Group Roofing provides drone photography and videos to its customers free of charge.

In 2013, Storm Group Roofing became one of the first Minneapolis roofing companies to incorporate complimentary drones into its roofing services. As drone technology was still in its infancy, the company started with a small entry-level drone. The Minneapolis roofers realized that drones allowed them to better serve their customers. In 2014, Storm Group invested in state of the art drones with high-resolution 4K cameras to implement into the company’s day-to-day roofing jobs.

Roof replacement and roof repair can be hazardous jobs. Drones allow roofers to access areas that would otherwise be difficult or dangerous to get to. The high-definition camera provides a clear vivid picture of problem areas in need of roof repair without the risk of falling or injuries. Drones also allow the Minneapolis roofers to show real time videos of their completed work to clients; giving home and business owners a peace of mind and confidence with their investment.

As part of it’s roofing services, Storm Group Roofing provides drone photos and videos to home and business owners free of charge. Aside from general photography use, these photos and videos have been used during the selling process to highlight the property’s value and its new roof. The company has posted a number of drone videos on its YouTube channel, receiving thousands of views.

“Drones have allowed us to better serve our customers and keep our roofers safe while on the job,” said Dmitry Lipinskiy, Owner of Storm Group Roofing. “We always have and will continue to include our drone usage free of charge for all of our roofing customers in the Twin Cities. The stunning photos and videos we provide are just a great perk of working with us!”

Local Roofing Company Uncovers Unique Piece of Minnesota History

Leave a comment

Storm Group Roofing, L.L.C., a Twin Cities roofing contractor, uncovers hundreds of local prohibition-era newspapers in a West Minneapolis home.

Minnesota, MN, USA (April 29, 2015) — A team of roofing contractors from Storm Group Roofing discovered hundreds of 85-year-old newspapers in near-perfect condition while working at a home in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood of Minneapolis. The historic papers, dated between 1928-1930, had been installed as insulation in the two-story home during the same time period.

The papers’ headlines, stories, and advertisements provide a fascinating insight to life in the Twin Cities during prohibition. Some of the trending topics of the day included the rise of radio programming, “autos” that could top 70 M.P.H., and the nationwide ban on alcohol. The various headlines range from sobering (“5-Year-Old Killed By Auto On Snelling Ave.”) while others are more mystifying (“41 Barbers Convicted of Soiled Towel Use”).

The Storm Group Roofing team of roofing contractors recovered and saved over 250 pounds of newspapers printed by The Minneapolis Journal, Minneapolis Sunday Tribune, and Minneapolis Star over eight decades ago. The newspapers had been stitched together and assembled into insulation by Multi-Cell Sales Corporation, a local manufacturing company previously located at 3420 Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis.

“I’ve worked on thousands of homes and businesses and have never seen newspapers used as insulation in this way before,” said Dmitry Lipinskiy, owner of Storm Group Roofing. “The newspapers were used to insulate the entire house and nearly all of them remained perfectly preserved!”

Lipinskiy and his team of Minneapolis roofers uncovered the newspapers while performing various roofing services on the West Minneapolis house built in 1921. The homeowner chose Storm Group Roofing because of the company’s unique solution for attic insulation, a system much more efficient than old newspapers. The roofers removed all of the older newspaper insulation and put in state-of-the-art home insulation in its place while also replacing the home’s damaged roof.

Lipinskiy’s profound appreciation for world history forbade him from disposing of these papers as he typically would with other scrap construction materials. He is currently storing the historic newspapers at the Storm Group Roofing warehouse in Brooklyn Park and hopes to donate them to a museum or historical society.

“Finding these newspapers not only opened my eyes to past home construction practices… but also to a truly special time in the history of Minneapolis,” Lipinskiy said. “I want to share that experience with as many people as possible.”
