Dude, that wasn't acceptable when I was roofing houses back in 87-88. Complete BS and not even close to code. You need to get their HMFIC over to your place and chew some ass. I would seriously consider calling a city inspector over to inspect the entire job so you can find ALL potential short cuts. I would be very concerned about the actual roof and if it would stay in place after one of our summer afternoon wind gusts. These are the kind of idiots that will pump up the Psi on their guns and over insert the nail in the singles. This tears the single with the nail head and a good wind finishes the job. Get it inspected before paying a cent.

Damn, that sucks. I didn't have any issues using the same contractor but I doubt they used the same roofers since I'm NW of Loveland. I'm sure Dan will take care of you though since they're the contractor and are responsible for the work done by the roofers.

Well, if you ever wanted to own at least part of a roofing company, now's your chance.

Fairly "third world" looking.

Damn. That's the definition of shoddy. Stay on them until it's fixed.

I have yet to move the rest of the stuff out of the way to take pictures of the other two vents. The second one does not even overlap the plywood and the nails holding it in are just in the roofing and nothing else.

Of course the side that is unsecured at all is the side where the wind comes from. Still no word. There are two on the garage as well. Fixing it correctly will entail pulling up half the roof. I see how one could fix it from the inside but it would be half-assed. If they had just taken an extra 10 min to use the template and cut a hole......

I had an uneasy feeling when They started removing the roof at 9.30 am and when I came home at 2 pm it was done. [Rant1]
