An Architect designed a roofing renovation in 1991. In 2001, the Owner discovered that the roof had been slowly leaking since it was renovated. The Owner notified the Architect about this defect as soon as it was discovered, but the Architect did not respond. In 2002, the Owner formally filed a claim for damages against the Architect. The Architect contended that the Owner’s claim was already barred by the statute of limitations because the roof was built more than ten years prior to the filing of the claim. The state where the project is located does not have a statute of repose and has a three-year statute of limitations on negligence claims. Is the Architect's claim valid?
