Still working out my case against a company that installed two roof on my house in a month. Had a question, is it normal to nail the end of the rafters to a piece of 7/16 OSB sheathing? I saw the roofer lift up my entire front part of the garage so they could put OSB sheathing under it. I inspected it closer and many places the end of the rafters are not touching the sheathing. It's not nailed down flush at all. Is this a normal practice or something they shouldn't have been doing?
Thanks

If you look at the last photo that you posted and see that most or all of the valley rafters do land above a rafter which will support the upper part and that is where the nails would be important. He just replaced what you had. I don't see a problem with it. It would have been nice to see a sole plate inthere but your contract likely called for replacing the sheeting and that is what he did.
 
Were you able to resolve the issue with the contractor?
