roofers usually try to stay out of court. He probably put a lien on the house because the Homeowner disputed his charges. There are many former ‘roofers’ that are in jail because they have defrauded people. I am not saying this is what happened, but there are always two sides to every story. Many times the roofers are paid by the Insurance company and then try to get additional funds from the homeowner. In many cases, it is a license to steal. I am probably out of line because I do not know the facts of this story, but my radar goes up in how the story was presented.
Agree as who knows all the actual details of the agreement the two had.
But this goes back to the end of June, 2017 when the job was completed.
So he is now 10 months into trying to get paid.
