Do I have a case?

[Bryan Davidson]

I purchased my home October 13, 2023. The seller (also a local agent that sold his home himself) disclosed there was a roof leak and was fixed in July 2023.

Jan 18 noticed a water line in my stove after knowing I cleaned the same waterline when I purchased the home. Burner is rusted and not working. That was when first thought of a roof leak was there.

Jan 22- we had the rain storm and immediately the roof started heavily leaking, through the flashing along the beam by the chimney.

Jan 25 hired local contractor. Fixed the roof and they said there was no evidence of any repairs ever being made in the area.

So I had to fix the roof exactly where he supposedly had the guy his broker uses fix. I had to pay $600 to have the roof fixed, so since it wasn’t fixed and I have signed statement from the roofer that there is no evidence of repairs ever being made, can I take him to small claims court?
