I live in Omaha, NE and a roofing company installed a roof on my house incorrectly, they also did not finish the job and refused to finish the job. They kept demanding payment and never provided an itemized bill which was asked for 3 times. When we finally did receive a bill it had charges for work and material that were never provided. Since then we have received confirmation from the engineers at company from the products used was installed incorrectly and would have to be fixed(it is a major issue that would require removing about 1/3rd of the shingles from the bottom and fixing the issue.) The owner said that he would put a lien on my property and would not respond to us asking for him to finish the job. We recently received notice that he was putting a lien on our house but the date of time services or materials were furnished was incorrect on the filing. What can/should we do?
I recommend telling the roofer that you will hold what is still owed until he fixes the problem. If he refuses to fix it, tell him that you will hire a replacement contractor and pay them with the proceeds that you are holding.
