A Very Bad Roofer
I had a solar system installed on my rooftop by Bilt-Well a few years
ago. They had damaged my rooftop and causing a large amount of leaking since then. After I contacted them(numerous times), they said they'd no longer in solar business and will not do anything to fix the problem. I'm tring to find out if there are more people like myself who want to solve this problem. |

Are you looking for people who have a serious problem, but would rather bitch and complain than get it fixed? The phone book is full of people who repair roofs. Call one, and get it fixed. Fix it before you cause serious damage or mold in your house. If you want to go after the solar people, that is a separate issue. Talk to your family attorney and either go after them, or forget about them. Just don't whine about it. -john- -- ================================================== ==================== John A.

They have a car problem or a TV problem or whatever. The common thread is they don't consider whom they buy from and don't follow up on things until too late to do anything. The good news is that you saved so much money with the solar roof (and spring water) that you can afford to call someone new to repair the roof. |

If it is the same company that originally installed the system (and they provided you with a warranty against roof leaks) then ask them in writing to honor their warranty. If they say no, or you get no response to a certified demand letter, then contact an attorney. |

Thanks for the feedback. I contacted a lot of solar companies, and no
one is willing to take down the solar panels due to liability issue. I can find roofers willing to fix the roof. I filed complaints to CSLB. I don't know how long will that take. |

Perhaps I've missed one of the posts in this thread, but if you have homeowners insurance, perhaps they might be interested in pointing you in the direction of a solution...after all they do have a stake in this. |

Sure about that? Deterioration from slow leaks and deferred maintenace is not usually insured against. If a tree fell on the roof and made a hole in it, yes. Sudden peril yes, developing condition probably not. If you hire someone to do a job and they screw it up casuing damage, probably not. ESPECIALLY if subsequent damage resulted from the homeowner leaving the leak in place for a period of time without fixing it . "Kiki" needs to have the roof fixed NOW, and then sue someone later.

I don't believe that my homeowner's insurance will cover this. No one
is willing to take down the solar panels, whether a roofer or a solar installer. They don't want the liability. Literally no one will touch my roof at any price. |

Literally no one will touch my roof at any price. You need to check with some more roofers. Removing solar panels here prior to reroofing in Florida is a common requirement. Most roofers have a relationship with a solar heating company and the two of them together can do the job for you. |

Literally no one will touch my roof at any price. What is the special liability associated with these solar panels? Liability for WHAT? Are you asking that whoever takes them down, guarantees that they will not be damaged and that they will work right when re-installed? Now THAT might be hard to get a contractor to swallow if the panels are not theirs and they are only getting a few hundred or a few thousand and the panels are perceived as 'valuable". Why take the risk of an irate homeowner claiming thousands in damages, for a few hundred bucks. Call a demolition company, say you want the panels removed and hauled away, maybe that would work. Either that or get a dumpster dropped off yourself, then go down to wherever day laborers congregate (or call "Manpower"), and hire some people to do it under YOUR supervision.
