BALLYMEADE

I live on East Boxborough and have noticed for some time that my gutters fill with rainwater and overflow.  It is like a waterfall.  I had my contractor come out to give me an estimate for gutter guards thinking that would help but he said I have standing water in the gutters due to poor workmanship of the gutters and the drip edge.  He said there is no pitch so the water does not flow. Also, I noticed some singles have blown off my roof after each windstorm we have had.

My neighbor had hardwood floors installed during the summer and her contractor found a lot of rotted wood and mold under the carpeting which needed to be replaced.  She was told the problem was due to poor construction of the roof, drip edge and gutters.

My contractor also found that the siding around my dormers protrudes out further than the rake board allowing rain to run between the siding and the plywood which will lead to rotting wood and mildew. Again poor workman ship.

I plan on attending the meeting tonight to discuss this.

Is anyone else having problems?  Our ten-year anniversary for Structural damage due to poor workman ship is up in April.

I live on Rockmeade drive.  The roof shingles of the houses near mine are in a terrible state, with heavy winds they blow off.  My next door nieghbor had this happen and had to have the roof replaced - $5,000.  They were told that the roof is 'builders grade' - which means it is designed to last 10-13 years and we on our block are right at the 12 year mark now.  We moved in in Nov 1997.  I have had several leaks from the sides of my house where rain water got in through the siding.  I cost me about $1500 and 3 contractors to get it fixed. 

If I were you I would move fast on your 10 year time limit.  I am past it.  Let's keep this post going so everyone can benefit.
