Am I responsible for problems after sale?
Two years ago I flipped an old home located in the same small town I live in. I had new chimney liners and caps and a new roof put on. Shortly after the sale, the buyers called me to ask about water coming in around the chimneys. I sent back my roofer and he applied more sealant. They still leak. I called my chimney guy and he went back and worked on the caps. They still leak. The mason told them that it's because I wanted it done cheaply. Thanks for throwing me under the bus! I always want a good value, but not shoddy work. Now they're demanding that I hire somebody to fix the problem. Nobody seems to know where the water is getting in. This is a small town and I'd hate to hurt my reputation. What would you do?
