She paid for the retaining wall. He paid for the roof. Fair trade.👍

[@sashabenoit1518]

I'd say that it's fair, as in even, that he pays for the whole roof because she paid for the entire retaining wall. BUT, I wouldn't say that it's fair, as in equal. The cost of half of the retaining wall is far more expensive than the cost of half of a 30in section of roof, especially because one, it's virtually a flat roof, making it cheaper and easier because it's not on a steep pitch. And two, they only used that roll out waterproof rubber instead of shingling the entire thing, so that also makes it cheaper and easier because the material is much less expensive and far less labor is required.

why would they fix a 30 year old roof replacing it with a brand new one?

[@jvillebil13]

As a roofing contractor unless she agree to pay half up front and signed something he's screwed. They could have built a small retaining wall and eventually her side would have leaked. But if when they did the tear off and found out her side was rotten they could have called the city. Bottom line is he didn't go about it right and unless you've been up there it's a hard guess. But you have to tie into the shingles and that means going 3 runs up on either side. He should have called the city and told them he had to go up her side and put the pressure on her.

[@panamafernandez4641]

The city doesn't have anything to do with that. It would be up to his insurance to go after hers. His insurance basically told him it's time to replace your roof, which he still didn't do. Even if he did replace his entire roof, she's not obligated to replace hers.

[@jvillebil13]

@@panamafernandez4641 You're exactly right. Insurance companies will tell an owner if they don't install a new roof when it has certain wear on it they will drop their insurance.

That man had no business suing her for anything. Like the Defendant said, "she had no leaks!" First of all he was trying to get the fix done cheap, which is why he only repaired the leaky part. I'm surprised JM didn't ask the last time both roofs were replaced? His logic is flawed. The nature of the roofs being joined will affect the repairs. The only reason her side got fixed was because that's the only way it could be done but that doesn't obligate her to pay for it. Plus, karma was waiting in the wings. He didn't give a second thought to screwing her on the retaining wall & has been benefitting from it. That wall was something the Defendant could have sued him for & won. That's why JM brought it up. He needs to reflect on that.

The deed should have been pulled before this repair. There is no way to fix that COMMON part of the roof without going 3 rows up on her side. If he side was leaking hers probably was too but they either didnt care or couldn't see the water damage yet. The roof on both places was over 30 years old, so leaks everywhere is possible. He should have done it the right way before any work started. The deed, then the city if she wouldnt agree to pay half for the common area, if the deed stated she was responsible for half. Which it probably does state that.
