  • Facts: Claudette Flawse sued Devon Richard Knapfl (Aces Roofing) for damages related to a roof installed in 2009, which she claims leaked, causing her to replace the roof in 2011. Flawse alleged damages from faulty workmanship, including damage to her home's interior and stress-related injuries.
  • Issue: The court needed to determine if Knapfl’s work met the required standard of care for a roofer, whether his work caused the alleged damages, and if so, the extent of those damages.
  • Court’s Ruling: The court found that Flawse failed to establish a breach of the standard of care by Knapfl and also failed to prove a causal link between his work and the damages she claimed. The court dismissed Flawse’s claims, ruling in favor of Knapfl.
  • Costs/Damages: The court did not award any damages to Flawse as her claim was dismissed. The defendant, Knapfl, was entitled to costs, but the exact amount was not specified in the provided excerpts.
