You shouldn't have signed the contract. I just finished a case similar to yours. In fact, it may be the same roofing company.

I will guess that if you don't let them repair it, they will sue you 30% of the check amoun. However, there may be counterclaims you can pursue against them. Nevertheless, before moving forward, take the contract to an attorney to review the specific facts of your situation.

I am available to discuss the matter with you, especially if this is the same company I just finish dealing with in another case.
