For areas of the roof other than the Northeast corner, when does the statute of limitations expire if a leak was reported on February 1st after installation on January 1st?

The correct answer indicates that the statute of limitations for a leak reported on February 1st, following an installation on January 1st, starts from the date of installation, which is January 1st. In Arizona, for construction-related issues, the statute of limitations typically begins at the time of substantial completion of the work or installation, which in this case is the installation date.

The two-year limitation reflects the time frame in which a claim must be made following the date of installation to ensure that any potential claims regarding defects or issues are addressed within a reasonable period. Since the leak was reported shortly after installation, the clock had already begun upon completion of the work, thereby supporting the conclusion that the statute of limitations would expire two years after January 1st.

The other provided options imply different starting points for the statute of limitations which do not align with standard practices for this type of legal issue. Thus, the selection of two years from January 1st accurately reflects the statutory guidelines for addressing construction-related claims in Arizona.
