Hi All,
We're currently going through a full home renovation of our family home, which included the replacement of the roof. We decided on some additional detailing on the ridges by going for bonnet hip tiles. My builder assured me that the contractor would be able to do this, but upon completion, I am not happy with the results at all.
As you can see from the photos, there is no uniformity in the fitting, the finish looks messy and uncleaned, and it is not straight. I tried to have them address these issues throughout the installation of the roof bonnets, but clearly to no avail. I am not expecting it to be completely straight, and I understand that each tile will have a slightly different shape, but it does not look satisfactory to me.
I am withholding part of the payment for the roof until the roof bonnets are re-done to a better standard, but my builder is demanding the payment stating the job is complete and that this is the best that can be done.
I'm currently feeling like this detailing was completely oversold and underdelivered by the builder, but wanted to check in to see if I am overreacting in my unhappiness with the finish, or if I'm right to demand them to be re-done.
Any advice or thoughts welcome!!
Thank you!
