What happens in the state of Arizona when roofs that do not meet the Uniform Building Codes, pass the city inspection anyway? What happens to hard working homeowners when the builder's warranty has expired and the statute of limitations has run out?
These roofs built by Richmond American Homes should have never passed inspection. Owners were forced to take out loans, work extra hours, and forgo vacations in order to pay for new roofs. |

Neighborhoods for Quality Homes was established in April, 2005 in Continental Ranch, Marana, Arizona as a result of these hardships. Roof problems such as leaking and rotting, occurred from the first year of construction, continuing over the years. Some of these problems went unnoticed for an extended period of time due to the lack of rainfall in Arizona. An independent roof consultant for nineteen homes showed that the roof leaks were due to improper installation more than a decade ago. |
| Despite the fact that there is no legal recourse for victims of these improperly installed roofs, homeowners have organized in an effort to make sure that other owners arm themselves with knowledge to protect their largest investment. |
