HomeMy WebLinkAbout98-02552 The front porch roof was a built-up roof that did not leak and which drained . toward the house Into existing downspouts. Plaintiff reversed the flow of the water so that it now flows out over the edges of the porch, This makes the porch useless when it rains and causes a dangerous condition in freezing weather, as water collects and freezes on the porch and the sidewalk leading to the porch. 8. Admitted. 9. Admitted. WHEREFORE, Defendant requests this Honorable Court to dismiss Plaintiff's complaint with prejudice. COUNTERCLAIM 10. The garage roof was a built-up roof that did not leak and which properly drained away from the house Into existing downspouts. Plaintiff improperly repaired the roof for the following reasons: a. The built-up roof was broken up with portions removed thereby making it no longer waterproof. b. The water flow was reversed so that it now runs toward the house and away from the existing downspouts, c. Water now collects on the roof with some of it not draining whatsoever. d. The rubber roof material was applied in a very uneven manner with the result that there are potholes and ripples throughout the 1'00f, which will greatly shOlten the useful life of that material. e. The roof' now leaks and has caused significant water damage. II. The front porch/portico roof' did not leak and drained back toward the house where there are downspouts. Plaintiff' did not properly repair this roof for the following reasons: a. The flow of the water was reversed so that it did not reach the downspouts. b. The reverse in water flow causes water to run off the front and sides of the roof and down onto the floor of the porch as well as the sidewalk. This makes use of the porch during rain and/ or freezing weather uncomfortable and possibly dangerous. c. The water flow over trim, which surrounds the front and sides of the porch, stains the trim making it unsightly with the probability that it wil1 deteriorate quickly. 12. Delendant contacted Plaintiff on many occasions explaining the problems. Some minor repair attempts were initiated but despite repeated requests Plaintiff failed to correct any of these problems. 13. After waiting more than five months for repairs, Defendant contacted other roofing contractors to complete the project. The work and material as supplied by Plalntlft' has actually worsened the situation, as it will need to be removed prior to the proper installation of two new roofs. 14. The cost of repairing and replacing the garage roof will be at least $4,700.00. The cost of repairing and replacing the front porch/portico roof will be at least $2,850.00, Due to scheduling problems, the work has not been completed so there is a possibility that If additional damage is discovered the total cost could increase. ...- ("l lt~ ...~J ._1 \" ..
