Evoke Roofing & General Contracting

Update!!

5 months later and my house is still broken and 35k still gone! This company, Mike and Owen Larson, Seth Wehunt, Kyle Frame, have lied, cheated, taken our insurance money and have not fixed our house. Two attempts to fix our roof broken by a tree and they just couldn't do it. The first attempt they attempted to mend broken rafters (instead of replacing them as per the engineers report and as per the 35k check paid them for) and our roof was concave fascia bowed. We had to make noise for them to send out their own inspector to check on their own work. Guess who they sent out? The unlicensed business partner of Seth Wehunt's dad. Not only did they send an engineers report, but guess who the engineer was? Seth Wehunt's dad who is an engineer. Talk about unethical and gross! That's not all, the report claimed they replaced 4 rafters and replaced the required decking. We were so amazed at the audacity, we hired our own licensed inspector who proved that report was a lie, and our roof was not up to code, broken rafters (not one new rafter!) not even mended properly, horrible repair job! A few days later evoke was back to re fix the roof saying there were a few problems with the roof. Guess what they fixed? 4 rafters! (To match the falsified report? and all the decking set forth in the original engineer report and their fake report) Ok, after they refixed, we had our inspector come back out. And? This company actually replaced the wrong rafters!! They replaced non broken rafters. And just didn't touch the broken rafters they failed to mend properly the first time. This is a roofing company? Our fascia still bows, the roof still concaves because of our broken rafters. Our inspector begged us to get a reputable, professional roofer to fix our roof! Well, that's just the roof. Mike and Owen Larson the owners of evoke refuse to finish our house, refuse to furnish us with an itemized list of work done thus far, refuse to give us their certificate of insurance. They are now even refusing to give these things to State Farm! Even tho it was ours and State Farm's 35k they took to repair our house after this disaster. And they are even refusing to give these things to the BBB! But of course they pay the BBB so.... Oh, and they are even actually asking for more money!! It's absolutely absurd and disgusting.

These people are unscrupulous crooks! They will take your money and bandaid your house just to make as much money as possible. It's theft. They didn't mitigate any water even tho State Farm paid them to. They didn't do many things they were paid to do in our adjusters report. And now I guess they are done! Our house is not up to code and we are out 35k. Liars. Crooks. Run from these people!!

Evoke Roofing was the perfect choice for our new roof! When we realized we had hail damage, we called Owen Larson and had an inspection of our roof. After confirming there was damage, we filed with our insurance and the rest was handled by Evoke. They replaced our roof, vents and gutters and it looks AMAZING!!! The crew that was used was very clean and quick and the work that was done exceeded our expectations. WE would recommend Evoke to ANYONE!!!

Imagine the worst possible situation ever!
During Hurrican Beryl a tree fell on our home, causing structural, roof, and interior water damage.
We contracted with Evoke Roofing (Seth Wehunt & Kyle Frame) and it took a month for work to begin. The absolutely worst mistake in my life.
Fence: failed to complete fencing, still needs to be stained the fence, broke tile on back porch, used wrong size rot board when tying into fence. They even took a 5-gallon bucket and dumped screws on the porch and ground, from when I took down and disposed of the old fence.
Roof: did not replace broke rafters, did not fix structural damages, did not replaced 320 square feet of decking. The decking that they replaced had gaps outside of code. The failed to replace 2 power vents, only replacing on vent with a standard attic vent.
Also, during the roof repair, the fascia and soffit repairs were done poorly and the structural damage is visible. Kyle Frame also removed gutters that were not damaged from storm without my consent to claim a ""Supplement"" from insurance, damaging fascia which have yet to be repaired and gutters replaced. When I asked Kyle Frame about painting the fascia and soffits, he told me that gutters would cover them up.
After complaining to the ownership to Evoke Roofing and General Contracting, LLC, Owen Larson refused to provide documentation to the work completed, the amount of material used, materials left over from the work.

Mike Larson, the other owner, came out and viewed the work competed, and during the walk through I showed him the debris buried in dirt left, shingles left in yard other trash, along with the broken tile on the porch. While showing him the trash left and poor work done, he even stepped on a roofing nail that went through his Hey Dudes. I even showed Mike Larson the damages inside the home and the poor work texture and drywall repairs. Mike Larson viewed the painting, victrola, floors, and furniture. While meeting with Mike Larson, I told Mike Larson that I was a disable veteran with spinal cord damage and was unable to inspect the work completed on the roof or in the attic. I also suffer for service-related respiratory issues that the dust from the drywall work with was performed, they did not use air handlers and left dust throughout the house, causing increased breathing problems.

After meeting with Mike Larson, he agreed to have an independent inspector or engineer to review work completed on roof. However, after Mike Larson returned from vacation in Mexico for a week, he came to the house with a J.F. ""Pete"" Spicer with United Aligned Consultancy. After checking the Texas Professional Engineers database, it was discovered that ""Pete"" or James F. ""Pete"" Spicer was not licensed in Texas as an engineer, nor was United Aligned Consultancy. It was also discovered after checking Texas SOS and Texas CPA, that United Aligned Consultancy was owned by John Berry Wehunt, the father of Seth Wehunt. This is definitely not an independent inspection, as a matter of fact with John Berry Wehunt, a license engineer, this is a violation of law.

Wait gets better, after my wife voiced frustrating, Mike Larson threatened to ""part ways,"" I guess this means the $34,995.00 paid to Evoke Roofing and General Contracting would be lost. He also added that he would respond when he stopped........still waiting for the response.

Because the threat Mike Larson made to my wife abscond with money paid to them to complete repairs, lies told by Kyle Frame, the scam ""third party inspection,"" and the over theft, fraud, insurance fraud, I sent a 10-day demand letter requesting that all repairs be completed by a third-party BBB rated business paid by Evoke Roofing. I also submitted a complaint to the BBB and complaint to Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors for the conflict of interest.

Take this review, how you may......but it is the truth, I tried to help remedy the problems, but just got scammed yet again by Kyle Frame, Seth Wehunt, Mike Larson, and Owen Larson, as well as, John Wehunt, PE and James ""Pete"" Spicer, PG.
