Walk It Through: The Small Claim for a Repair

A botched roof repair, a claim up to $7,000, no lawyers unless both sides have one, and 10 days to appeal.

A roofer took the money and the roof still leaks.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A homeowner's claim against a local contractor. A claim over the limit, a mechanic's lien and a claim against the state are left out.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
