The Right First Roofing refund dispute
The sequence of events and the policy basis for the refund decision.
What occurred
- The original agreement was made directly with Patrick, the owner of Right First Roofing.
- Work began and progressed substantially, well beyond the initial phases.
- A second person named Charis, not party to the original discussion or agreement, requested cancellation with a full refund.
- The refund request came after services had already been rendered and work was well underway.

- Refunds are not available once active work has been initiated and labor committed.
- This policy exists because services, including discovery, audit, strategy, and implementation, are front-loaded in early service phases.
- The work performed is non-reversible: time, expertise, and deliverables cannot be "un-done."
- This position was communicated clearly, calmly, and based on standard business practice.
- Requested
- Full refund
- Timing
- After work began
- Basis
- Work underway
- Outcome
- Declined
