What is the name of your state? PA.
We bought an old house with a new roof that has a warrantee on it for the next 12 years. It rained and we got water in the kitchen near the bay window roof, we called the roofing company, they came out and said that it was not their fault (the siding let the water in) but they got on a ladder and put some caulk down. I have damage in my kitchen walls due to this water.
2 weeks later it rains again and we get more water in, we call, (4 times) they come in 10 days later (unannounced) and look at the problem. They adjust 2 things: the bend a J channel (part of the framing of the roof) and they tell me that there is a leak in the window sill on the second floor, so they put a aluminum cap on that.
2 days later I get a bill for them putting the Aluminum cap on. (they charged me $165, I have quotes for getting this done for $45).
Can they charge me, even though they came out for a warrantee call? The workers never told me I would be charged, if they had there is no way I would pay 165 for something that can be done (and will have to be re-done, since they used the wrong color aluminum) for 45.
What do I do with this invoice?
I think they just sent me this invoice so I would not go after them for the damage to the kitchen (but the insurance paid for that)
