Re: Roof inspector liabilty?

Did the inspector make _any_ notes on the roof? He may not have mentioned seeing any evidence of leaking but I'd think he's at least mention the state of the improper repairs/patch work. Personally, I see no reason why he should not have make in-depth notes about the condition of the roof. From your post I get the impression that the water damage was not there when the home was inspected so obviously that is a moot point. But the DIY patching of the shingles should have been noted by the inspector on his report as it would be a clear sign of an existing problem.

Would he have any liability? Perhaps. This would be for either his insurance company and/or a court to determine. What I _can_ say is that most likely he will deny doing anything wrong and you'd probably have to either file a claim against his carrier or file suit in order to get anything done.

Not really. Minor dry rotting in the eaves. Single layer, etc. Nothing about leaks, patching, DIY repair attempts, etc.
