Ugh this sucks so much to hear. We had a super similar experience. Closed on 2/18 and the roof leaked on 2/19. We managed to figure out who did the roof originally (DM for name) and contacted him. He was a “handyman” who subcontracted the work out and it was terrible when we had real roofers look at it.

After living with it for a year and constantly asking the original roofer to come out and him “doing repairs (aka caulking a seam)” or blaming someone else’s work, we were going to bite the bullet for a full replace through a reputable company. He said he would do the replace himself since he always backed his work. But we had to threaten him with going to the BBB and AG since he delayed for another two months. He did end up actually showing up with some subcontracted roofers who had a business and they replaced the shingles and redid the chimney flashings which were wrong originally.

This was about 6 months ago and so far so good. Our next house will definitely have a roof inspection done by a roofing company.

Wish you the best!

Im so sorry to hear you had a similar experience! Its so nerve-wracking trusting someone to do a job that you have no expertise in and costs so much! I’ve spent the day searching roofers to try and a find a couple to add to our list to get estimates from. This is not an expected expense so really want to make sure we end up with the best quality and price

Resnick roofing seemed to be super reliable and reputable. They were definitely on the highest end of the spectrum but seemed to do quality work. We had them inspect other areas of our attic/roof once it was fixed (more ventilation) and they said not to worry about it when they could’ve easily recommended pricey upgrades which I really respected too.
