All,  I need a referral to a good roof inspector, property located in Polk County.   Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Subject: Lien question

Homeowner hires a roofer.  Roofer orders roof tile from supplier.  Roofer installs roof.  However, underlayment and other problems with installation cause roof to be rejected by county inspector and the roof needs to be replaced.  There is nothing wrong with the roof tile, but it may not be salvageable when roof is redone and new tile will likely be required.

Roofer never paid for the original roof tile (homeowner paid ½ the contract price to roofer, but roofer never paid the supplier).  Supplier liens the house.  I think I know the answer, but is there any defense to the supplier's lien based on the defective installation by the roofer thus rendering the original tile largely unusable?  The lien appears to be proper in all technical respects.

Thanks,
