  • A man (not actual subject) working on the roof of a home with a power drill.
  • My HOA banned and trespassed my roofers mid-project. What recourse do I have?

    Location: Florida (Unincorporated Miami- Dade County) I live in an HOA community. Before any exterior work is done, I'm required to submit a form
  • to the HOA. It's pretty basic - what's being done, who's the vendor, and what's their license number. At the bottom of the form is a statement
  • [Community] has a no- solicitation policy. Vendors are lot allowed to place yard signs, leave leaflets, or advertise directly to residents."
  • Both the vendor and I had to sign the form. The roofer demoed my roof on Friday. While they were doing that, the owner started ringing doorbells and offering to replace neighbors' roofs.
  • The HOA rep came out and told him that if he didn't stop, the company wouldn't be allowed to work in the community in the future. The owner got caught again on Tuesday,
  • refused to leave voluntarily, and the police. were called. He's now banned from the community.
  • A close-up image of a model working on the roof of a suburban home.
  • He pulled his workers, and my roof isn't done (I've got black tarp paper only). I asked for a refund, but he told me
  • that since he's not able to complete the work for reasons outside of his control, I'm not entitled to one. I asked the HOA to
  • compensate me, and they told me that because the roofer violated the no- solicitation policy, it's his own fault and I need to take it up with him.
  • Meanwhile, hurricane season is approaching and I don't have shingles. What recourse do I have?
