Subject: Need advice on roof leak (urgent)

We have a leak that we have had several roofers work on to no avail. Here is the problem. The 12/12 roof comes down half way on one side and forms a wall. looks like the side of a dormer window. Next to that is another roof that has valley. The framers did not bring the valley to the corner of the wall, it stops about 5 inches and all the water runs straight into the wall. The leak we have seems to be right on that corner. Here is what we have done. We removed the siding and trim on wall, removed shingles. We re flashed the wall, using metal flashing and covered the wall with fire and ice, which we let extend on to the roof. We built flashing that turned the corner and extended out from the corner to keep water from runing down front of wall. Re sided and put shingles back. No more leaks until the gutter man came and while installing a gutter he nailed a piece of metal into the side of the wall , he said it would divert the water from that area. Now it leaks again. Is it possible to move the valley, rebuild the roof, someone suggested a cricket or sleepers. We have worked on this so many times and also paid. This is new house, not yet completed. No need to say contractor should fix it as that is another story from a long list of nightmares. If anyone has any ideas you can email me at sandoftime@aol.com. Thanks so much.
