Legal Question in Construction Law in California

I owned a roofing business in California for 20 years and closed my business in December 2011. I have a client going for my bond for a roofing job that the warranty expired in June 2011. I've sent my response to the bond company. My question is if the bonding company pays the client, do I have a recourse against the bond company who will then come after me for the $$. I now live in Arizona.

Only if they improperly paid out on the bond. Your warranty may have expired but that does not negate the fact that construction consumers have from 3-10 years (sometimes more) to make claims for deficient work. Not knowing the nature of their claim, I can't answer this question precisely but experience representing contractors tells me that if your bond company pays out, then there is likely a problem with the job in some way, shape or form.
