We had our roof replaced on Friday, we live in R.I. so the temp was in the high 80s. I’m having an issue with how some things look. There is a large space At the top and bottom of the valley I would say at least an inch at the top. Also, the shingles don’t lay flat in some areas. It’s very noticeable near the edge of the roof, you can actually push down on some areas. It “seems” the drip edge is not laying flat on the deck. The drip edge is about 6″ wide. It was only nailed at the edge. They’re saying the shingles will settle which I would understand if the shingles had been installed in cooler weather. In regard to the valley, they said it was expected because the shingles are thick. We used Timberline HDZ architectural shingles. The old roof was stripped, StormGuard 36″ Film-Surfaced Peel and Stock roof leak barrier, and GAF Felt Buster synthetic adhesive felt were used. Old shingles were removed. The salesman came on Saturday and sent pictures to his boss. I want a “roof” guy, not just a salesman to look at this. What should I say to him about this? I’ve attached 2 pics and a short video. What I’d like to know is, this all normal or should I make a fuss about it? https://restonroof.com/arlington-va.php – homeowner

The pictures and video didn’t take. Perhaps too big for this site. You could post a link to another account we might be able to access.
