Erin. some advice for your meeting. Go to the meeting. advise the company you will attend by email. Advise your lawyer prior to the meeting about what your concerns are. Take photographs with you of the roof. Make a written list of your concerns and keep two copies. (one for your lawyer. At the meeting make sure you do not sign anything. Do not pay anymore monies until the work is completed. Advise the council and building inspection department. Your job will be under your local council.. Did you employ this contractor privately or is he an employee of the building company? The building company is responsible for all their tradesmen and sub contractors. He sounds like a cowboy. If this is building company do not let them intimidate or bully you. You have to give them a reasonable amount of time to correct the work. Timeline this at your meeting and if it is not done within that timeline make a complaint immediately to the disputes tribunal. Good luck
