A roofing contractor brought a construction lien action seeking payment of holdback funds and alleged extras following completion of a roofing installation project.
The property owner asserted a set‑off for the contractor’s failure to provide the expected system warranty and disputed responsibility for additional invoices.
The court interpreted the contract to require a system warranty covering labour and materials, not merely a material warranty, and held the owner was entitled to compensation for the missing warranty though less than claimed.
The contractor was also found responsible for damage caused by improper installation practices that allowed rainwater to enter through unsealed screw holes during construction.
Judgment was granted in a reduced amount reflecting the set‑off and limited entitlement to extras.
