Had shingle roof replaced a year ago. Still under warranty. Leaks were detected in the walls. Investigated the source of leak, which is from the flashing. Flashing was not replaced when roof was replaced, nor was I charged for it. However, looking at shingle installation instructions the product required flashing to be replaced. Additionally, roofing company came out when leak was detected to investigate and caulked some seams and other various locations which voids the warranty and signed a document stating as such along with stating that the flashing must be replaced. Roofing company does not want to take responsibility for the damage as it is well above 50K based on damage inside and outside of the home. Do I have a case? What kind of lawyer should I be looking for? Who can I talk to?
