To start out my brother took off the cap so that I could install the ridge vent. There was no argument. I told him he should not have taken all the cap off due to the chimney placement on the roof line so I replaced it. There is no way my ridge vent could leak in that spot due to cap being under the ridge vent for three feet behind chimney. He called me telling me he was putting up drywall finishing his upstairs and there was a leak on the east side of the chimney. So when I went up on the roof right away I saw the flashing had separated from the caulk. I caulked the whole chimney & anything else so there were no problems in the future. He called me to see how much & what was wrong. I explained & told him $75, he agreed but sounded like wow, isn't that a lot. So a week later after calling & calling, he finally answered & debated with me talking me down to $50 in which we agreed upon. A year later I am still trying to get paid. A house call with one employee pulling a trailer with fuel prices is easily worth $100. I hate to see something like this over $50, but if you need a service you have to pay. Nothing is free.
