Void roof warranty under property management’s care

Carrie Lane
Posted
Screens on the roof, not approved for installation. There’s four across the roof


Hi all, I am going through an interesting experience with one of the properties I own and could use some advice.

One of the properties I have is handled by a property manager. Two years ago, the roof was replaced on the property and recently due to a leak, the roofing company discovered that screens were installed on the drains on the roof that voided the roof warranty. I have no record of this installation, nor does the property manager, or the roofing company.

To get the roof back under warranty, I need to pay 3000$ to remove the screens.

I know that I have no record of this installation. The roofing company says it’s not their work. The property manager has been unhelpful in connecting the dots.

Any suggestions here?

Screwing a 4x4 screen into a roof would probably not show up as an "installation".  This would not be something a roofer would do.

I'd look to see if there were any work orders for cleaning debris off the roof or for clogged downspouts.  It's the guy  cleaning gutters that might do this to make his job easier in the future.
