I had a guy do my roof a few years ago. I ran up there as soon as he left and set up with the ladder and did an inspection with a friend. That guy surpassed my expectations, He put flashing where I didn’t think about putting it and saw his solutions and repairs and realized this guy was two steps of me. Job was worth every dollar. I even recommended him to other friends.

Guy who did mine 2015, asked if I felt safe coming up to inspect. I said sure. I had been up there plenty of times cleaning the gutters. He showed me everything, even stuff he had to repair from the last roofing job in the 90's. He even replaced a section of wood that had some water damage, replaced my turbine vents & placed an extra vapor barrier over the entire roof. He was a good dude and told me it wasn't worth losing your reputation to save time or a few bucks. ~ Now I tell everyone I know that needs roofing done, about him. JZ Roofing in Arkansas.

My mother in her 60's never saw a roof job either, but from her driveway on the ground saw the worst job ever on her rof, she knows nothing about a roof it was that bad. shingles were run crooked, pipes werent cleaned and the pipe jacks the installed were letting water in. They shingled over a 24 inch hole, yes they shingled over a hole. They didnd remove the existing nails and there were obvious high and low spots. and the list goes on. I should post it on youtube. The company was SHELTERPRO roofing in san antonio Texas. I refused payment, After finding 4 substantial gross indefensible breaches in the contract, they wanted to do minor cosmetic fixes and get paid. nope not happening. So i called another rofing company RADIANT roofing, explained the issue and they did the job, fully documented more issues upon take up, found more decking needing replaced,. 14 4x8 sheets, which i verified, 10 of them i requested. Its not perfect, but its as perfect as you can do on a 50 year old house. After a year and some ugly storms its holding up just fine. This job in the video is salvagable at least, a few guys for a few hours.

Roofing is one of those things where anyone can do a small, simple project, but you need an expert to deal with the complex stuff, or the large projects. The homeowner wisely called in apparent experts.. it's just that the 'experts' sucked ass and did not live up to the reputation preceding them.

I did research for weeks, got familiar with how a roof is built, I researched options, such as metal vs shingles, researched products from the underlay to flashing to shingles etc. I researched companies, went through their BBB ratings, asked around, asked questions, even drove around looking at roofs, I looked at reviews, looked at how long they'd been in business, checked for lawsuits etc. I had 4 estimates done. I also asked for addresses where the companies had worked and drove by to see what their work looked like. I finally made my choices. This was in 2013. The company did a stellar job!!! I am so happy with their work, how it looks, everything. I chose the best quality products I could afford. My roof still looks brand new and I live on Canada's West Coast where we get extremes in weather, temperature, precipitation etc. I go up there and inspect it myself. The slopes are gentle, it's pretty safe. Anyways , research is the best thing we can do to protect ourselves!!! Cheers!

Depending how low of a slope it is if they would have used ice+water underlayment and ran your shingle courses may 1 inch shorter you would have never had any leaking starting. I wouldn't recommend putting any silicone roof coating on the leaking areas, but using tar on those spots might help for a little bit, but with still end up leaking again as soon as it expands and contracts by fall or winter. If you do decide to use tar make sure you use the fiber mesh with the tar and do a couple coats. I know you're wanting to save on spending anymore labor cost since you've already spent a good amount on your roof, but if you're anywhere near the Rutherford county area I'd have no problem stoping by and taking a look at it for you if you're not able to stop the leaks.

To be fair it's 20k with martial which could have been around 10k on it's own, mattering how much squares the roof is. That would leave 10k in labor for tear off and hit on (excluding waste costs). Most likely what happened is that the owner wanted to pay less than what the job was worth and got a sloppy but cheaper job done. Not excusing their mistakes, but it's disingenuous to say the roofers made 20k off of this roof.

Better to pay that price and be able to sue the contractor that fucked you, instead of eating that $20,000 loss and having to pay the price again in two years when he has water pouring in or rotting away his obviously very expensive house.
