It turns out the guy has relocated to Orlando, and for the most part, we havent been able to contact any previous homeowners that have hired him. It seems that the nails were shot deep, ultimatley causing the problems. This could cause an issue.. How could I possibly convince a roofer to lend a hand in going after the BI, when he basically has to see the guy every day?

DOing some research, it seems most of the inspections werent thorough enough after this particular storm.

Its not looking good, and I still havent heard back from the homeowner regarding what his lawyer says. Bah.
Good luck going after the Builiding Inspector.

How do you know how thorough the inspections were?

This job is over 4 years old and a painter is the one who said it was not done correctly, it may be a bad job but I wonder what a licensed roofer has to say about it.
When theres water coming through your ceiling, it doesent take a licensed roofer to know that there's a problem.

They were required to use TU Peelstick for the underlayment. They used plain ol tar paper.
They were paid to replace the tongue&groove accordingly.. Sure they replaced it... with 1/2 plywood..
They were supposed to do a 3 step inspection. Demo, tin cap, and final. They were there only twice.
