Looks like a good installation. How many nails did he put in each roofing piece?
Seems to have done a good job. Any thoughts based on the few photos that I have?
Not too shabby. $2,650 for 13 squares of shingles. He ended up needing a little more and didn't charge for those. He brought a few extra squares just in case.
They tore down a single layer to the deck. He found about four different areas where the older shingles were starting to leak, so they changed out those boards, put down the underlayment, put metal in the roof valley, changed all of the pipe flashings/boots, sealed around the vents and put the shingles over. He came back over this morning to seal and paint a water heater vent on the roof to keep it from rusting.

But then, I warranty my work for the duration of the owner I preformed the project for, remains as the occupant of the dwelling.
If he uses the right materials and does the job right then it is not likely to catch up with him. With good materials and good installation, it is not likely that there will be leaks or problems. The only issues might arise from damage from severe weather conditions or falling trees or something. Probably better than being taken to court for doing a shoddy job and having leaks.Sounds like you'll eventually lose a lot of money when all of that catches up to you.

Well, he had a couple of guys roofing with him. He watched them very carefully and specifically told them, "I want 4 nails in each one, you got me? Make sure that they are GOOD nails, too. 4 nails is code."
Then he sent me that photo later from the roof with a text that said "Nailed by code".
He also told them to make sure that the shingles go over the edge 2" per code.
More sales schtick and of course he provided the code section which by the way addresses required nail gauge and length so you could go to the applicable code adopted for you community and, "trust but verify?"
And the applicable code section and paragraph is..........?
Roofers in Atlanta must adhere to specific guidelines defined in the Official Code of Georgia relating to insurance claims and work performed by residential roofing contractors.
Georgia Drip Edge Code, Georgia H.B. 610 and Georgia H.B. 423. I am very sure that one of those $7,000 quotes from a large roofing company would certainly not have that sales schtick.
Plus, I don't think large commercial retail companies and million-dollar homes would be letting him roof their buildings if he didn't do a good job. I saw both of those among his pages. One condo complex hired his team for over 500 squares to transform their complex.
Are "starter shingles" and "starter rolls" the same thing?
