some builders refuse to do anything unless you force them by requesting a conciliation inspection. a few shingles falling off could be indicative of a poor quality installation. if it was me, I'd spring for a proper roof inspection and request conciliation inspection.

UNLESS,, your home was in the area where the recent tornado was in the Ottawa area. When installed, shingles need time, especially a hot summer to seal down and until that happens shingles are vulnerable to blow off. The cheap 3 tab shingles are the most vulnerable to blow off. This is not likely a poor workmanship issue, it's more likely a cheap shingle issue and there are no rule preventing builders from using lower cost products. It may be that the builder has a whole lot of homes with missing shingles and has thrown up their hands. Like usual - Tarion rules are not helpful and provide excuses for the builders. Your approach should be to dismiss the builders lame excuse and tell them that there has been no unusual "Act of God" or excessively strong wind storm that could have caused this problem. Construction Performance Guidelines 5.7 CONDITION 5.7 ROOF SHINGLES HAVE BLOWN OFF Acceptable Performance/Condition Roof shingles shall be installed according to the Building Code and the manufacturer’s specifications. Warranty One-Year - Work and Materials Damage resulting from acts of God is not covered by the statutory warranty. Action Roof shingles not meeting the acceptable performance shall be repaired. Remarks Severe weather and wind gusts can sometimes exceed the design limitations of the shingles. Different shingle types and materials have varying abilities to resist these forces.

pretty sad. Obviously an ACT OF GOD took the shingles off. rain,snow,wind ect ect
ACT of GOD should be defined as those unusual events -Flash flood -Tornado -huricane -ect ect If normal ontario climate and weather overcomes shingles then the building code should change and request ontario proof shingles. |
