Another one for the roofers.

I have been told that it is not the way it should have been done and that someone would try and get me a credit.

4.5 hours ain't too bad when your rolling with a brown army.

Credit hell ! They should be coming over ASAP and redo your entire roof at no charge or you should be calling 9 news or Tom Martino over to shoot some video and put their quality work on air so they can increase exposure to drum up more business.

The guy was out yesterday. Said they are going to fix it. We will see since what I have been told they just about have to replace the entire side of it to do it right.

I be right there with them when they do.

How's the weather looking for you down there in the next week or so? I think we are expecting 60% chance of precipitation up here tomorrow.

Rain Monday but clear the rest of the week. I am told that they can pull up the sections affected and replace the plywood. Then replace the vents and put back (with a few new pieces) the roofing.

I have also been told that this is just about impossible. I will be up there with a ringside seat to watch. I fell off a ladder about 5 years ago and now have this stupid phobia but I can will myself to get up there. I will watch and know what is ok and what is not.

Nothing is impossible when dealing with construction. Just the difficulty of the task and how big the scope of work can creep. Example of replacing one sheet of plywood: maybe the whole damn side of the roof needs to come off because of interlocking roofing tiles, etc. I don't know, I'm not a roofer. Either way, if it has to be done, it has to be done. I've owned a landscape construction company for some years now and lemme tell you, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and do a whole lot more work than planned, but that's the way it goes. And this type of thing would get someone fired from my company instantly, no questions asked. (truth be told I've fired for less)

Ever watch Holmes Inspection? It's things like this that lead to MAJOR problems later in the life of the house. A very long time friend of mine is a Licensed home inspector (yes, there is a difference in being licensed and joe blow handyman/inspector) and you should see some of the pictures hes sends. Horrifying what some of these contractors get away with.

Holy crap! That's pretty funny in a "WTF WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY DID THAT?" kind of way...not funny in the sense it actually happened.

You sound like you're handling it a lot better than I would.

its fine amigo...that is how we did it down in mexico



I would tell them the job was done wrong, they aren't getting paid and you are having a competent roofer fix it.
