Wouldn't this be a property damage claim as opposed to a construction defect claim? In such a case, 558 would not apply. However, if the townhomes share a single roof and the association contracted for the work, possibly there might be 558 applicability here.
Just a thought. I could be wrong. <br>

An owner claims that my client, a roofing contractor, damaged his roof while my client was replacing an adjoining townhouse roof. The owner claims that as a result of the roof damage, water entered his unit and cause secondary damage to sheetrock, cabinets,
etc. I am inclined to tell the owner that until he complies with 558, there’s nothing to discuss. The definitions in 558 do not appear to limit the application of 558 to only those situations where there is privity between the owner and contractor. Instead,
558 would indeed appear to govern this situation, notwithstanding the absence of privity. Am I wrong?<o:p></o:p></div>
