We asked advise from several architects and their solution was always quite obtrusive. Eventually, we decided to try a non-obtrsuive solution by a roofing company.
When they inspected our roof they reported to us that the flashing that was supposed to be installed by a company we previously worked with was only held by wood and a tile. The area was also missing a roof panel.
They had also removed the downspout in the area which caused the front of our roof to be damaged. We did notice that the corner of our front roof would drip a lot. We didn't know that the previous company removed a key downspout that's supposed to distribute rainwater so it doesn't overload parts of the roof.
We had the roof fixed back in late 2022. It snowballed to having other things fixed. We were reassured that the area was fixed and we won't experience any dripping anymore. And that's what we thought.
We immediately reached out to the architect that did the renovations. We sent him the video and all he said was, "Oh, it must have been overlooked". He offered to have it fixed, but his timeline did not work for us since we were having our roof fixed. We told him he could just reimburse us the amount we were going to pay. It was actually the same amount for the work they did not do.
Roof has been fixed, but the architect has just totally ignored us. Ugh! I'm seriously thinking whether I should write the association he is part of... I'm seriously scared they mucked up other things they fixed.
BTW, the repair of the roof was needed because the original builder of the house did not install flashing and that caused the waterfall in our kitchen and a whole lot of other things were missing in the roof. Good luck to whoever purchases the house beside us. The builder dropped us like a hot potato when all the issues came out.
