Contractor retired
Hi All:
The roofer has finally returned my calls and said he apologized for the poor job. He agreed that the cuts were made too deep and stated his crew often gets "a little out of control" at times. The crews that did this job were all young guys. BTW, the shingle work looks very nice.
He is offering to fix the drip edge, however he can't do it till spring because they are far to busy right now. I live in the NW US where we have snow in winter, and it's already getting quite cold.
I have asked him to send me his promise in writing, but I doubt he will.
He says he will have to loosen up all the hanger screws and then tuck the new drip edge back behind it. So that's his fix.
So, I'm stuck with the job until spring and hope he keeps his promise.
I don't want to get nasty with the guy. I'm just trying to be diplomatic at this point and work it out. I've checked his state contractor license and all is current. I should also add, I found this roofer through the recommendation of the BBB and read a few reviews on him which were all good.
Thanks everybody who commented and Happy Holidays.
The quick fix for a year or two would be to bend the end up so the tab can be put back in place, red tuck tape over it, it will hold it in place and keep water out.
