The plaintiff property owner contracted the defendant roofing company to install a new roof on an apartment building.
Following the installation, the roof experienced significant leaking and drainage issues.
The plaintiff's expert engineer concluded the roof was poorly installed, not properly secured, and posed a public safety hazard.
The plaintiff subsequently sold the building, agreeing to a $200,000 reduction in the purchase price due to the defective roof.
The court found the defendant breached the contract and was negligent in its installation, awarding the plaintiff $203,329.98 in damages for the price reduction and interim repair costs.
