Don't Need The Aggravation

Saturday night, my new roof leaked buckets into the living room.

We called the contractor.  He said, "It's raining, that is what happens."

We said, "No, roofs are not supposed to leak."  He said he couldn't come Sunday because he had no crew  When we said unacceptable, he said it was a religious day.  We told him to come anyway. He called Sunday morning and said he couldn't come because he had a tummy ache.

He showed up today and is now trying to claim it is not his fault the roof is leaking.  He said we have holes under the aluminum siding.  Funny, its never been a problem before.

Insurance comes this week but we have a high deductible.  It's off to small claims court again.

PLEASE go to The People's Court, cuz I'd pay money to watch you smash this guy! ;-)

Seriously, I feel for you and the aggravation you're dealing with right now. This guy sounds like a first class jerk.

Ditto what ChiTown said!!

Just keep telling yourself (as I have been with my neighbor) what goes around etc. And karma is a bitch.

Sorry this contactor's work wasn't as good as it should have been...I hope you get a solid roof and justice soon!

Obviously, the City needs to institute a value-added data analysis system for contractors so we know which ones to shut down.

OMG!! I remember your first leak.
This doesn't sound right. Too many stupid excuses.

Report him the the BBB.
