We fixed lots of roofs, windows, bathtubs, siding etc. But to restore roof or siding to original condition is a different thing. Very expensive at times.

It's not worth all the headaches and issues in the future.

We were never made aware the home was a rental in any way. Our techs always ask permission on where to mount the dish and bring in the wire and they were given approval to mount the dish on the roof and drill a hole for the wire. If it was a rental, we would have talked to the landlord. The home owner now wants us to remove the dish, cable, and holes and restore everything to original condition. He wants new siding, new shingles, the whole works. I don't exactly know how I should handle this situation. We won't be pulling the mount off the roof because it is sealed if we leave it there. We can't move the dish because the signal is only good there. Do we have any sort of protection from OTARD or anything that allows us to keep things in place since we were given permission from the tenant? Ideas or ways to handle this smoothly? We are not going to pay for new siding or roofing when we were given permission to install. If anything, the tenant would be responsible since we did the work on their behalf. -- Darin Steffl Minnesota WiFi www.mnwifi.com 507-634-WiFi Like us on Facebook
