Roofer's Apology Cake

SaRina — Fri, 07 Apr 2017 17:12:28 GMT

A Roofer Bought a Cake as an Apology for Roofing the Wrong House

"This construction worker recently completed a roofing job. The only problem? It was on the wrong roof! The roofer called into a local Walmart in Lebanon, Oregon, in an attempt to repair the estimated $7,500 damage by buying a cake.The uploader explained: “This past weekend I was doing a roofing job across town and after we got the roof mostly torn off, we found out that my co-worker, Chad, accidentally put the wrong address on the work order. The people who owned the house were extremely upset, so I’m hoping this cake will make up for the $7,500 in damages. Fingers crossed!” In the video, we see the worker describe the story to the bakers in Walmart, in what is one of the most bizarre videos you’ll see in quite some time."

Sorry but a cake doesn't make up for $7,500 in damages. Hopefully the company will make this right or if the person ends up filing a homeowners insurance claim, the roofing company pays the deductible for them.

I don't believe this is real at all. This is a video prank. No business would do this or homeowner would accept a cake in place of a roof...just silly.

LOL-this has to be either a joke or not the full story. If true, I'm sure the wronged homeowner will be given restitution.

In the meantime, they can eat cake. *joke*

Look up Royco Roofing and Construction on facebook...it's a video prank and fake reviews with made up ridiculous stories.

So incredibly bogus it defies imagination!

Really? The goofball supposedly tore the wrong guys roof off and we are supposed to believe he would video his business name while describing what an inept fool he is, in addition to admiting it "wasn't the first time."

I heard this story on my local news at the noon hour -- didn't just pull the story from the internet, so I would hope the network would have checked out the story before reporting on it. I assumed for this reason the story was legit, but perhaps I'm wrong. ?

I can be somewhat gullible. (*red face*)

Look up "Phone Losers of America". They have a website and a YouTube channel. They "prank" people. They have more RoyCo Roofing videos on there from several years ago. I can't believe a local TV station thought this was legit. I have secondhand embarrassment for them

Fictional History

Founded in 1979 by "Big Roy", RoyCo Construction is the construction arm of RoyCo. Well known for its stealth modification of apartment buildings, and numerous accidental de-roofings.

Hailed "the leading expert in roofing quality", RoyCo Roofing received countless awards including the prestigious "Best Roofing Company" in 2013. It is also notable for being the only company to ever won the "holy grail" of roofing award, the "Leak Free Gaurentee" in 2003.

Now located in Roy, Washington, RoyCo Construction specializes in the import and installations of exotic roofing tiles, with supply chains reaching as far as New Zealand.

In 1999, Big Roy passed away, and the company was passed down to Little Roy, who is in charge today, with a whole team.

Employees

Chad - Employee of the year.
Little Roy - The man in charge.
Dave M. - The new guy.
Big Roy - RoyCo founder and autodidact roofer. (R.I.P.)

I would throw the cake in his face! Does he think an ugly cake makes up for what he did? What he should have done is tell the homeowners that he would fix the room, at his own expense asap an in the interim he would put them up in hotel, until he completed the job. The he should have begged them to forgive him. A cake....that's just adding insult to injury.

So - doesn't he realize he has to replace their roof with a new one? Does he think a cake is all he has to do?

This is fake. Just a prank. Nobody's roof was removed.

Actually the homeowners should have called their homeowners ins and filed a claim. They would immediately replace the roof before additional damage was done - then the ins co would sue the roofer who made the mistake to get their money back.

Again, this is a fake news story. It is a prank played by a comedy group called Phone Losers of America.
