Why we have building codes
10 years ago
Thanks to the hurricane (that turned into a tropical depression) in Mexico, I have hard two large rain incidents here up North in Central Texas.
Both times, I have had the down stairs bedroom flooded with water coming through the ceiling.
I went up into the attic in the addition that was done around 2000. (Prior to my buying the house in 2009.)
The original roofing is on the original roof UNDER where they tied the addition and new roof.
So, after 12-15 years, the addition pulled away from the original roof.
Am I happy camper? No.
Admittedly, I see what the problem is and can go about fixing it now.
But....WHY THE FU** DIDN'T THESE A**HOLES do it right the first time?
Simple. Do it the cheapest way possible with the least amount of effort.

Mike Holmes did a survey to find an honest roofer. He personally inspected the work of over 40 random companies in 5 cities and saw the BBB reports on 150 more.
Needless to say, they all failed. He found none
