Roofing leaks

[Whitney Whiteman]

In Sep. last year we had a roofing contractor install a new roof. In Jan (our first rain) it leaked. They have tried 3 times to repair, still leaks. I found out there bond was used up in Jan for unpaid material. the company is inc., question is can i get restution, repaired roof, and how should i approach this?

First you need to formalize the process....
Send the roofer a letter detailing your complaint, send it certified RRR. Give the dates work was completed, amount paid, and the dates of each callout for leak repair. Close with what you expect... a leak-proof roof or compensation for hiring someone else to repair the roof. Tell them to contact you within 5(?) working days to discuss what they are going to do to fix their problem.

If they don't respond, or you are unable to resolve this issue, you will have to consider a Small Claims action against them.

In the meantime, get other roofers out to look at the work and give estimates.
