As for making a claim against the previous owner, that seems like it
would be a huge waste
in attorneys fees.

No need for attorney's fees. You can bring this case in small claims
if necessary.

Most jurisdictions have a limit for small claims courts and that limit may
be exceeded here. Sometimes you have to actually be out the money for which
you're suing which means you've got to replace the roof THEN sue to recover.
