The developer in OTOW does not pay for the roof the owner of the home does. My late aunt and uncle owned a home there, she died, when he got sick then passed I handled sale of the home. Timing is everything even though the roof was rated as 25 year shingle life we got a letter saying the roof was 18 years old and needed replacement. Yes they hired the contractor to do the work, but the cost of the roof was on the back of my uncle’s estate.
