Florida Homeowner's Roof Repair Fails After Hurricane Damage

Persistent Roof Damage After Hurricane Selene

• 🏠 Jasmine Gutierrez, a homeowner in Pinellas County, is dealing with ongoing roof damage that began with Hurricane Selene.
• 💧 Initial repairs were made, but they did not hold up, leading to continued water leaks.

HOA and Roofing Company Inaction

• 📧 Gutierrez lives in a townhome, meaning her HOA is responsible for roof repairs, but they have not been responsive.
• 📞 She has been unable to get ahold of the roofing company, James Roofing, which was hired by her HOA, and her repeated attempts to contact them have gone unanswered.
• ⚠️ The persistent leaks have caused significant damage to her home, forcing her to move out of her bedroom and use bins to collect dripping water.

Media Intervention and Resolution

• 📰 After months of no response, Gutierrez reached out to Tampa Bay 28 for assistance.
• 🗣️ Reporter Blake Phillips contacted the property manager, which prompted action from both the HOA and the roofing company.
• ✅ The roofing company has now scheduled a repair for the upcoming Tuesday, following the media's involvement.
• 📢 This situation highlights how media attention can be effective in resolving homeowner issues with HOAs and contractors.
