Another one for the roofers.

So the roof was replaced. They had to come back and fix some things I felt were not up to snuff. Now the fun part. As part of the job they added vents to the roof. I did not ask for them they were just there when it was done.

Went up to the attic yesterday to get the decorations down for Halloween. What I saw disturbs me very much. I remember the conversation with the sales man about some dust when they cut the holes for the vents. They did not cut holes for the vents. They took a hammer and just smashed holes in the roof sending splinters and pieces of plywood everywhere on the items that are in the attic.

I am not a roofer but I would think that if I wanted to put in a vent I would measure and cut a hole in the roof not take a hammer and beat a hole in it. Or is this normal?

I had my roof done by C&C. They also put in vents but it looked nothing like that! Call them back and have them repair that mess.

I sent the Pic to the salesman asking for an explanation. I will take more today. They have not been paid yet.

Well that's good! Now you LOTS of leverage!

I would not pay them for that work.... That sucks....

[trlcavscout]

Ya that is unexplainable! I would double check everything else they did now, maybe have another "expert" check it out.

Surely this is a building code violation, don't you have to be licensed to be a roofing contractor? Make sure if any gas flues are correctly installed too, carbon monoxide kills. Some links below...

Yup, that's terrible work. Looks like you're getting new sheathing too. Don't accept a simple fix from them. They need to tear it off and replace any and all sheathing they beat holes in and do it right at no cost to you.

More. The flange did not cover the hole.
