And some mistakes were made by tradesmen but looking back I didn't ask the correct questions or have the knowledge to make certain they wouldn't make mistakes (such as knocking down a vented chimney - that happened once and although it was on the roofer I now know I must make certain the roofers know the venting situation prior).I'll close with this - when I worked in film and was a lowly production assistant a higher-up said "You know what I like about you?

Our contractor is unsure how to fix the issue, so I would love some help troubleshooting.I had the roofer come back and check the new roof - everything looks solid and the party walls are capped and sealed. 

If you don't own the house yet, you really need to pay the guy otherwise it's a waste of his time.Sometimes roofers and pools companies will give an estimate based on google maps. 

I'd call out a roofer first and have him check all the flashing.

After an entire month of not being able to get ahold of him this summer, I contacted another roofer who said it was poor quality all around.

@Gregory HerbertThis is why you use a property manager….I don’t want to be a pilot, a doctor, a plumber or a roofer - thus I hire them to do the job I need done.

Progressive insurance who I have my policy with, is now saying they want to cancel my coverage unless I fix my roof ASAP, and it needs to be done by licensed roofer.

-The roofers do not return my calls.

That was the job of the roofer.

Three roofers all tell you that the roof needs to be replaced, but you are skeptical.
