Hello, I hope you can give me an answer other that what I think you are going to say.... My problem is. We had our house built in 1997. It cost us over $ 130,000.00 to the contractor. Nine years have gone by and we just found out that we have to replace our entire roof. Our least expensive quote to replace it was $ 8,675.00 and that is providing that none of the plywood has been damaged. The problem was caused by many sheets of plywood not being nailed down so they have now started slipping under each other and the shingles were not stapled in the correct places. Also, there was no metal flashing put around the edge of the roof. We were told that we have been lucky that as far as they can tell there has not yet been any damage to the inside drywall. I have checked with our Contractor's Board and naturally the contractor is no longer licensed is there anything that we can do to this guy. Believe it or not we did check with some of his previous homeowners and saw his work. He did come highly recommended. I am pretty sure he is still in the area but like I said he is no longer licensed as a contractor. Any chance that we could maybe take him to court??? Our roof should have lasted a minimum of no less than 15 years and I believe the shingles actually are a 25 year shingle, however it's not the shingle manufacture fault but the negligence of the contractor. Your help is deeply appreciated**************.Thank You
