My neighbours booked a builder – but they took the roof off OUR HOUSE by mistake & wouldn’t put it back

THIS homeowner’s property was ruined when a building company made an expensive mistake and tore off the wrong roof. Jennifer Campbell was stunned when she returned home to see her roof a mangled mess of shingles – and the roofing company initially refused to repair the mistake.

She said: “My heart sank. They were calling for rain, wind and I had a bare roof right down to the plywood. “They didn’t just remove the shingles, they left a mess everywhere – sides of the house, backyard, debris, everything.” To make matters worse, the roof was destroyed only days before a major thunderstorm was set to roll through Oshawa, Canada. Jennifer immediately contacted police, the roofing company and her insurance company to see what could be done. Shockingly, the roofing company admitted the mistake and said they would “give her a good deal” on a new roof – rather than remedy their costly mistake. Jennifer said: “I feel like it was their mistake. They weren’t invited here. They weren’t asked here.” Before the storm, the homeowner hired another company to wrap her roof. Though she may be able to file an insurance claim, Jennifer will still be £750 out of pocket due to the insurance deductible. Yet the roofing company backtracked on their former statement after local media CTV contacted them, and even offered to pay the £750 insurance deductible. They said: “We want to be responsible for what we did. We will do her roof for free. If she wants us to do it, we can schedule it.” In the end, Jennifer went with another roofing company to replace it after her nightmare experience. Viewers of the story online were floored, and many suggested Jennifer bring a lawsuit against the roofing company. One said: “Should have let the roofing company replace it. Now will have claim on your policy & increased rates.” Another defended Jennifer’s decision: “The roofing company said they would do it…but how can you trust them after they supposedly tried to charge her at first?” A roofer commented: “As a roofer, if we accidentally do this, we pay for it… hasn’t happened to me but has happened to a few I know.” Another homeowner is in a bitter row with her neighbours as they aim to tear down her garden wall and build an extension. Susan Lee, 71, has been disputing with Vanessa and Andrew McVickers since the couple decided to extend their London home. A legal expert recently gave advice on how neighbours should deal with fences – and working out what belongs to who. It came after concerns were been raised over who exactly owns the boundary between two properties – and who has the right to maintain and decorate it, especially on their side.
