We had contacted our insurance company (ASI Insurance Company) in late July about a roof leak and additional damage around our home from the recent storms.  They started the investigation process and we contacted Jake Korth (General Manager) with Nordkap Construction for the possible contracting for the repairs. 

The process took a couple months, but finally the estimates and checks were prepared by our insurance company and arrangements were made to start the work in November for the replacement of the roof.  Jake Korth advised that our insurance company is holding back some of the monies until all work is completed, but they would need the full amount of all 3 checks totaling $10,326.97 to get started on the roof.  He advised once that is completed they could start on the other areas which included the following: drywall in our daugther's room, crown molding in my daughter's room, carpet in the upstairs and ceiling on the main level.  The other areas outside, which included the deck, stairwell and kids treehouse were also cited in the estimate from our insurance company but likely could not be completed until the weather was warmer for consecutive days.  We confirmed with our insurance company that this is an acceptable practice and 1 check was issued from our Bank to Nordkap Construction for $10,326.97 and deposited on 11-18-2013. 

The work for the roof was completed on 11-20-2013 and we believed everything for the roof portion had been settled.  On 12-3-2013 we received a letter from Nordkap Construction's supplier (GulfEagle Supply) stating they have not been paid for the supplies for our roof.  We immediately contacted Mr. Jake Korth and he advised this is impossible as their supplier would not deliver materials without payment upfront and ensured us he would get to the bottom of this. 

The next day Mr. Korth called and advised that we would need to speak to the owner of Nordkap Construction (Josh Olson) in Minnesota to discuss this issue.  We discussed with Josh Olson and he advised that he did not have the funds to pay for the supplies for our roof at the time of installation, and he paid the laborers for the work so we could get started earlier.  We asked when the supplies would be paid for and when the this issue would be resolved with the "Mechanic's Lien".  He assured us that this will be resolved before the end of the year and that he is just waiting on monies owed to him from other insurance companies.  We asked when would be a good time to follow back up and he said this will be resolved by 12-30-2013. 

The next few weeks went by and we received another notification stating the "Mechanic's Lien" had been filed within our County recorder's office.  We immediately called Josh Olson again and he said he thought the checks from these other non-related insurance companies would have arrived by now and apologized for the inconvenience.  He said to give him until the 2nd week of January and this matter will all be cleared up. 

We called again after the 2nd week of January and there were no responses from Josh Olson and Jake Korth simply states we need to discuss with Mr. Olson as he has no involvement in the monies received for jobs.  We called again the next week and for the next 2 weeks prior to this complaint with no responses.  Obviously our fear now is the company is either out of business or will soon be out of business and we are left out not only the monies paid to Nordkap Construction, but also the amount of monies due to their supplier for the roofing materials.   

We are requesting that the "Mechanic's Lien Notice" is satisfied and the claimant's (GulfEagle Supply) are paid in full for the supplies and goods furnished for our roof that was replaced on 11-18-2013.  In addition, we are requesting that their contractor GulfEagle Supply furnishes a paid in full statement as well as a full release of the "Mechanic's Lien" placed on our property.  Finally, we are asking that once the "Mechanic's Lien" and final proof of satisfaction have been provided that Nordkap Construction, LLC releases us from any future dealings with them and works with our insurance company (ASI Insurance Company) to determine the appropriate final amount due to them for the replacement (ONLY) of the roof.  Any difference from the amount paid to Nordkap Constructions in the amount of $10,326.97 and the replacement costs of the roof should be immediately returned to us.  We would like to have this resolved no later than 30 days from the date of this complaint, any further delays will likely require us to pursue matters legally.
