[THE PUBLIC BEWARE]

OWNER OF ADVANCED METAL ROOFING

Attorney General Philip McLaughlin announced today that on June 3, 2002, James Kenton, a principal of Pro-tite Corp., pled guilty to felony and misdemeanor criminal charges including Theft by Deception, Falsifying Physical Evidence, Witness Tampering and Unfair and Deceptive Business Practices. James Kenton, through Pro-tite Corp., provided roofing and home improvement services. According to Attorney General McLaughlin, by pleading guilty to these four indictments, Kenton admitted that he had caused Pro-tite Corp. to enter into a contract with an elderly woman and obtained money from her by creating a false impression that she owed additional money for Pro-tite's services, when she did not; as a result of this deception, Pro-tite obtained more money than it was entitled to from her.

Kenton also admitted to destroying documents so they would not be available to the Attorney General's Office, which he knew was conducting an investigation into his business practices. Finally, Kenton admitted to threatening another customer who attempted to obtain a refund from him after canceling a contract with Pro-tite Corp. Kenton threatened to sue the customer for slander if he complained to the Attorney General's Office.

Kenton also pled guilty to four additional criminal charges against Pro-tite Corp. These charges include Theft by Deception and three charges of Unfair and Deceptive Business Practices. The Theft by Deception indictment and one of the Unfair and Deceptive Business Practices indictment relate to Pro-tite's contract with the elderly woman. Kenton also admitted, on behalf of Pro-tite, that Pro-tite's agent, Christopher Robinson, had deceived a customer into entering into a Pro-tite contract. In an effort to have the customer sign a Pro-tite contract, Robinson told the customer that he would call both a roofing friend of his and the Better Business Bureau, so that the customer could check on Pro-tite's business history and whether the price of the roof was a good deal. Instead of calling the Better Business Bureau or his roofing friend, Robinson twice called Kenton's home telephone number. After making each telephone call, Robinson then gave the telephone to the customer who spoke to the person at the other end of the line. The customer believed that he was speaking to a roofing friend of Robinson's who was unrelated to Pro-tite Corp., or a representative of the Better Business Bureau.

Attorney General McLaughlin said "Today's guilty pleas by James Kenton and Pro-tite Corp. demonstrate our office's commitment to the pursuit of unscrupulous contractors, in our continuous efforts to protect New Hampshire consumers."

Sentencing for James Kenton and Pro-tite Corp. will be held in approximately 60 days.

In their (Advanced Metal Roofing) website,they stated as of when i read it on 9/4/08 that they have "An EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT" with METALMAN ROOFING SYSTEMS,,,,,,CHECK THE US TRADEMARK SITE..ADVANCED METAL IS listed as the OWNER of MetalMan Roofing Systems..Anyone else think there is a bit Of DECEPTION there??? Or I guess you can have an "EXCLUSIVE" contract with yourself.....Ridiculous!

[Jayme Beliveau]

I love Advanced Metal Roofing... If you are looking for a good quality roof, that is guaranteed to last, and excellent customer service then this is the way to go! Thank you to everyone at AMR... I have had a wonderful experience dealing with you.

Signed,

Completely Satisfied

Henry, the Secretary of State in NC is waiting for a homeowner who was dissatisfied to come forward and press charges. Just go to Google and type in James Kenton and read what the Secretary of State did to him in New Hampshire, then make your own decision as to what you feel is right. Good luck if you havent already received your refund.

[Gary]

You people sound like a bunch of crazy beaching idiots. grow up and realize that it costs money to run a company and you can't get everything for free!!!

[worry wart]

cheating your customers is a lot worse than bitching about being swindled. So (Gary) how long have you worked for Advanced Metal Corp.
Metalman Corp. Worrying about that pension are you? Quit being a worry wart. You'll never see it anyways.

I ALMOST bough from this company. Some kid came to my house, measured the outside perimeter of my house and never got on the roof. Then spent 3 hours trying to sell me on this. He produced customer testimonials, mentioned the neighbors that had work done, even a loud call to his boss (so i could hear) that they were going to give me a huge deal! They would even give me a better deal if I agree to provide a glowing testimonial. Ah, so that's where all the great feedbacks come from. And I later found out that the neighbors had their roofs done by someone else. This company was taking credit for another company's work!

They were going to charge me $16,000 for my roof and they made it sound like a good deal. But, thanks to sites like this I became skeptical. I found out who did my neighbors' roofs and got a quote.$4,000 for the same exact roof!! I'm glad I wised up!!
