Johnson Guttering of Roanoke, VA

 So, our apartment needs chimney and gutter work.  The chimney openings have a type of "netting" or whatever, so that birds and animals do not fall into the chimneys.  Both the chimneys on the top of our apartment need those "nettings" replaced, as a bird fell into my fireplace, and two baby birds fell into my neighbors fire place.  We cannot light our fireplaces as long as the chimneys are uncovered....

So,  Kevin started calling around to find someone to cap the chimney tops and clean out our backed up gutters.  

There was a Hispanic man on our street and told Kevin he would fix our problems for such and such amount...Kevin, wanted to go with a professional for the warranties and stuff so he told him "no thank you".

He went to Angie's List, and found a company called "Johnson Guttering".  The owner came out, looked at the apartment, took pictures, then gave Kevin a quote (so Kevin could tell our landlord).  The landlord said "do it".  A day for the company to come out was set.

They called and said they need to move it to the next week....Kevin said ok, and another appointment day was set for the work to be done.  Then they called again and said "can we do it on Friday?"  again pushing it back...Kevin said ok, they said they would be here Friday by 2 pm.

They never showed, they are not answering Kevins emails, texts or voicemails...they ghosted us.

This fucking white company, fucked with us.  Kevin said he should have let the Hispanic man do the work.  Mexican migrants fucking work....white entitled companies do not....

He has contacted Angies List to lodge a complaint....

What the fuck??!!  \

In Oklahoma we had a bad storm, it tore up our roof.  Everyone in the neighborhood were getting new roofs, Hispanics were getting the roofs replaced in one day...they worked their ass off on all the houses in our neighborhood.   John went with a "white" company with "white" workers....it took them 3 days to finish our roof.....and cost us more.  The white workers took long lunch breaks, many cigarette breaks and left early in the afternoon for the day.    The Hispanic workers  would show up at 7 am and worked until the roof was done.

Everyone says, immigration is stealing "black" jobs, stealing jobs from white Americans.  But when white Americans do shitty work, lazy work, and ghost you....then the problem is not color, its work ethic.  White blue collar workers are lazier than migrants and black people as a rule, as they feel they deserve more money...why?  Well......because they are white???   

My advice, if you need work done on your property...hire a Hispanic company.  They will do the job, do it quickly, and do it correctly.....fuck Johnson Guttering and his little white company.

I hope Johnson Guttering goes bankrupt.
