[quote=Anonymous]We live in upper NW and signed a contract with a roofer to replace our roof, install new gutters and downspouts, and install siding on the a small section of the front of the house under the dormer. The roof and gutters were completed on time. Per the contract the siding was supposed to be ready for installing 5-6 weeks after the contract was signed which would put the arrival of the material around end of August -- at latest early Sept.

I called twice to check in (once in August and once in early September) and was told the company would be in touch when they were ready to finish the job. Then out of the blue on Oct. 10th I get a call from the owner telling me he doesn't have any workers who will come to DC to do the job because of ICE. I am sympathetic to his situation; however, the materials should have been over a month ago.

Something is not sitting right, and I am wondering if this is a way not to complete a small part of the job which takes his crew away from bigger paying ones?  Has anyone else heard of contractors (roofing, renovations others) not happening in DC because of ICE raids? We could pay for the part of the job that is done but, I'm concerned that finding someone to just do the siding will be very pricey if it is a job on its own. If he really can't find workers than is it unreasonable for to ask him to honor his price for whenever his workers will come back to DC? [/quote]
