How long does it take to fix a roof?

We have been going since January the 1st with a leak in our roof that resulted in black mold in our bedroom. Once we noticed it, it meant we had to get rid of the furniture that was touching the wall since it also had the wet and mold and also had to replace our carpet.

At first, I was happy that the company that own our places (we rent) sent somebody out right away to look at my complaint. In the period since, they have taken down our bedroom walls to the brick and rebuilt them. That meant that we were without a bedroom for nearly three months while that happened.

We were back in our bedroom one night before it rained and there was water coming down the walls again. So, I had to go slightly mental with them over it (not in my nature) and ever since it has been a series of guys going up to 'take a look'. They keep sending people up on the roof who then tell me it is fixed only to have the water coming in again.

Right now, I have some guy that just showed up to go have a look at it but told me he doesn't really know why he was sent out. I told them it is a good thing that I work from home so that they can just drop by without actually telling me.

We still are living out of suitcases as we aren't going to re-buy any of the bedroom furniture until there isn't water coming down the stupid walls.

Am I wrong to think this is a tad too long a period to spend fixing this problem?
