IF the OP bought a spec house and didnt hire the builder or the roofer or any contractor whatsoever, I cant see how he should be named in a lawsuit and shouldnt have to lawyer up....
Maybe he should be the one suing

If OP was the owner of the property when the repair work was performed (which it sounds like he was), it’s pretty simple. Louisiana has laws providing for direct action against the owner of a property where one has performed labor or provided services or materials and has not been paid. Granted, there are timing and notice/preservation issues at play. Which is why he needs a lawyer.

Once he hires his lawyer, he’ll be suing the contractor as part of the suit that he’s been served with.
ETA: always make your GC provide partial and/or full lien releases certifying that they have paid their subs for the work included in your invoice.
