While in the middle doing a required warranty job on this roof, the sub informed me that he closed his doors and will not help out to replace the peice of metal. He did tell me what company supplied it, after contacting the supplier, they claim they did supply the materials, but the ridgecap profile they have does not match our profile.
In a nutshell, do I have any recourse with the subcontractor who is no longer in business?
I can prefab a new ridgecap piece with aluminum coil stock to match the existing ridgecap profile, but the homeowner does not want this done like that.
I can not locate the profile I need, but can prefab it and the customer still owes me money.
What are my options?
Sure, you have recourse against the out-of-business subcontractor. You can sue them and get a judgment for the value of their warranty breach. But they don't have any money to pay you, apparently. What is your experience in getting blood from a stone?
