00:00Can I see my phone?
00:02He started working, according to you, on February 6th?
00:08Correct.
00:09Removing the paper.
00:18On the 7th, which is the day after he started work,
00:21which is the date on this receipt, February 7th,
00:24so he removed the old stuff.
00:27The next day, when he removed the old stuff,
00:29he showed you the wood that day.
00:31So we went and bought wood the next day,
00:34not February 6th.
00:36It was the 7th.
00:37And the total for this was $426.
00:42On the 6th, he bought roofing materials.
00:45This was $81.
00:47And he bought more stuff on the 8th for $237.
00:54It's according to the receipts that are in your phone.
00:56Is that right?
00:57Yeah.
00:58And you did this roof for her, because clearly she had a leak.
01:02Where was the leak?
01:03The leak was on the supposed add-on,
01:06the second section that you asked about,
01:08that looked like it had walls.
01:10So it was in the addition.
01:12Exactly.
01:13I'd like to see the damage in the addition.
01:16Do you want to see pictures of the roof
01:18and the yard with the nails?
01:20No.
01:29I had to have it dried out as well,
01:32because the furniture got wet.
01:34I have the copy of the invoice for that
01:36and the bank statement.
01:38He's not paying for that.
01:39He gave you a warranty on his work for five years.
01:42And then he revoked it.
01:43He didn't come back.
01:44He ignored my calls.
01:46He gave you a warranty.
01:47On what?
01:48But he took back his warranty.
01:50He won't do anything.
01:51He's not paying you $10,000.
01:53You paid him $1,000 for his work.
01:55The rest was all materials.
01:57He guaranteed that work.
01:59He says you would give her a five-year warranty.
02:01Correct.
02:02Well, clearly, your work was not satisfactory
02:06because she had leaks in her, this addition,
02:09where you put on the roof.
02:10That's what I'm seeing in the photographs.
02:12Incorrect.
02:13Go ahead.
02:14The leaks are a result of other factors
02:17surrounding that add-on,
02:19because it's not up to standard.
02:22There's no way you can make a flat roofing system work
02:25if it's in the shape of a bowl.
02:26What is so dilapidated in that structure that...
02:29Mr. Zavala, that's your fault.
02:31Just a second.
02:32That's your fault, sir.
02:34There's no way that you can make a roofing system work.
02:36You shouldn't have taken the job.
02:37You should say, I can't make a roofing system work here.
02:40You can't say, I'll take the job,
02:41knowing that you can't do the job.
02:43I could not know that I couldn't do the job
02:45if I can't see the underlayment under the roofing material.
02:49Then what you should not do is do roofing
02:52if you're not licensed and insured to do roofing.
02:55If you're a handyman, stick to being a handyman.
02:58She was aware of the...
02:59Don't tell me what she was aware of.
03:01You can't tell me what's in the back of her head.
03:03But you knew you were looking for a bargain.
03:05That's why you got a handyman instead of a roofer.
03:08You gave her a warranty, sir. It didn't work.
03:10Correct.
03:11You owe her the money that she paid you.
03:13Incorrect.
03:14Incorrect, correct me.
03:15You owe her $1,000.
03:16You have the roofing material and you have the wood.
03:18I don't know who you're gonna get to fix this roof.
03:20Hire a roofer.
03:21I know, but not only that though, but I have damages.
03:24My daughter got hurt, my dog got hurt
03:27because of his neglect and the nails everywhere.
03:29That's what you get when you look for a bargain.
03:32If you look for a bargain and you don't think,
03:35sometimes you get hurt.
03:37He's not gonna pay for your dog's vet bill
03:39because it walked on a nail.
03:40Why? That's pure neglect.
03:42To throw nails?
03:43You wanna see all the nails that are on my floor?
03:45This isn't even funny.
03:46I'm not laughing at you, madam.
03:48I'm not laughing at you.
03:49But you think it's okay for someone to do work
03:51and leave nails all over around children and animals?
03:54Goodbye.
03:55If I was excused, you may step out.
03:58Everything is flooded, I had to move a bunch of animals.
04:01The structure in and of itself, it was just terrible.
04:04There was nails all over the floor.
04:06The place was in a disarray and I did a fairly good job cleaning up.
04:10Just to make sure that they're licensed and insured.
04:12Things happen and it is what it is.
04:14Things happen and it is what it is.
