I closed escrow on a 6 year old home on Oct. 25 (less than 4 months ago). After the first rain of the season, I noticed a massive water stain on my garage wall. I have a 2 year roof cert and called the roofing contractor. It took them almost 2 weeks to get here to take a look at my roof. After that, it took 3 visits to fix the leak. It appears to be fixed now.

I am very upset about this as I just bought this home less than 4 months ago and the roof leaks!

What are my legal rights here? I feel like I've been cheated.


similar situation as above (sorry, didnt know if I should start a new thread or add on :( ) except I am the seller.....roof is 1.5 yrs old, I had it put on and did it as owner/builder...the buyers are telling me the flashing was done incorrectly and therefore leaked, they had it fixed by a roofer...roof was inspected (no warranties given) ground only and noted that buyer should hire a licensed roofer to do a further examination (they did not opt to do that), no roof coverage was added (or asked for) on the home warranty plan I purchased for them, I had no leaks/damage in the 1.5 yrs I had the roof...so they are asking me to pay half (1750.00) to help compensate them...I have been literally badgered on this since january...can I tell them to leave me alone? or am I somehow responsible....I disclosed everything I knew at the time of the sale (the agent said I disclosed way more than most of his clients do)how can I disclose leaks or incorrect flashing if I dont know about them...if I dont remember the guy that did the roof, can they make me pay?? I mean, do I have to be responsible for my home AND my old one??? when does it end.....

thanks
