Hello everyone,
We are experiencing some minor issues with our roof and the contractor responsible for it. After three rounds of fixing various defects (faulty underlay membrane, holes in the roof filled with expanding foam, missing clip fasteners, etc.), everything has now been repaired and completed—except for the storm clips. These were not installed correctly or according to the required installation pattern but were placed randomly.
Since the scaffolding is finally going to be removed (it is obstructing the utility groundwork), we have agreed with our project manager that the roofing contractor will give us a €2000 discount and provide a performance bond of another €2000, which will cover a 5-year warranty period.
What exactly does such a performance bond entail? How is it arranged, and are there any disadvantages for me? Would this appear on MY credit report? I honestly have no idea what to expect! Above all, what would our lending bank think about this? Would they even be informed?
I’m a bit at a loss right now...

The roofer has received numerous defect reports. He had to come back many times and spend a lot of time fixing everything.
He simply has no patience left with us. I have to chase him endlessly, and he is seriously delaying the other trades.
In our windy regions, this storm reinforcement is not that important.

He simply doesn’t want to deal with us anymore. I have to chase him constantly, and he is seriously delaying the other trades.
In our wind zones, this storm tie-down is not that important. Then the guarantee is worthless

Winniefred7 Dec 2019 09:49Hmm, I can understand that neither the roofer nor you feel like continuing the collaboration, but I would really recommend having the storm straps fixed right away. The climate is changing, and eventually your house will face a strong storm. It would be very frustrating if the roof tiles come loose and you end up with water damage.

Schlenk-Bär7 Dec 2019 10:21I just don’t understand. Earlier it was said that the roofer received numerous defect notices. And as a reward, you now want to spare him from installing the brackets? That would mean he benefits even more from his poor quality. He should be ashamed to deliver such bad work and quietly fix all the defects if he still has any pride in his craftsmanship.
