Hell hath no fury...
We had ANOTHER roof leak recently, the third one AFTER the installation of the new shingles earlier this year. Okay, so the first 2 leaks were during the installation process, one of which was major enough to flood my kitchen and require drywall a insulation and painting repairs. The other was caught before it could cause damage,
by my wife ,who alerted the crew of the leak. The new roofing code requires extra nails in the decking, before new shingles can be installed. The crew doing it MISSED the trusses hundreds of times, discovered due to the leak over the kitchen.
The contractor sent a guy into the attic , who knocked maybe half of the nails back through the decking, causing holes in the underlayment (peel and stick). The contractors solution was to add a layer of peel and stick over the areas, resulting in an uneven appearance of the shingles. After much back and forth with the company, they semi fixed one area of lumpy bumpys on the small shed roof off of the fireplace.
The latest leak was discovered in the garage attic whilst getting christmas decos down.SO, after two attempts the leak was patched and damaged decking replaced, and the contractor is blaming the trusses.
Ironically, the crew that did our roof got fired on their next job which a catastrophe style leak did thousands in damage to those customers.
The Supervisor in charge of our house and that one was demoted.
The sad/bad thing is the owner of the company is our next door neighbor.
He did not come over after the first leaks and generally avoided us unless he had no choice but to acknowledge us.
This time round, AGAIN he avoided us.
Big mistake.
The NEW super left his guy at the house today, and owner/neighbor pulled up as I was checking his work. We said Hello and he asked hows it look, I said you tell me. "Great". No man, better than it was.
My wife UNLOADED on him, purging 6 months of frustration,and worrying about roof leaks.,,in one RELENTLESS 15 minutes of carnage. She never cursed and stated fact and feeling and fury.
Totally professional, but merciless.
The end result is the roof is patched, albeit not pretty, but patched.
And my neighbor/roofer will never forget the scalding wrath of a woman scorned.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
