Local homeowners say Rural Edge-contracted roofers left damage; town advises next steps
Summary
Robert and Diane Hill told the Sutton Select Board that roofers arranged through Rural Edge lacked required insurance, engaged in altercations and left damage; the board advised the Hills to contact Marty Feltus while the dispute with Rural Edge remains unresolved.
Robert and Diane Hill told the Select Board their house roof remains damaged after work arranged through Rural Edge nearly four years ago. The Hills said the roofers who arrived had no insurance—contrary to what Rural Edge provided on its list—and the contractors “had altercations with each other,” leaving damage the homeowners say Rural Edge will not cover.
The board did not take formal action on the complaint at the meeting but suggested the Hills contact Marty Feltus for possible next steps. The transcript records the account: “Robert & Diane Hill: Regarding the roof on their house. Almost 4 years ago, they entered into an agreement with Rural Edge for funds to fix their roof.” The board did not provide a timetable or further remedies during the session.
The Hill complaint raises unresolved questions about Rural Edge’s oversight of contractors and insurance verification. The meeting record does not include a response from Rural Edge or a proposed town enforcement action; the situation remains open pending further follow-up.
