One portion of my roof was 3/12, meaning 3 feet of rise per 12 feet of
run. The shingle install instructions stated that this required double
underlayment, and I pointed this out to the project manager. He insisted
firstly that it was 4/12, which was the minimal slope for single
underlayment. I insisted it was indeed 3/12 and made him get his
measuring instrument from his truck and he confirmed that I was right.
He said he still wouldn't fix this, that it wasn't necessary, but later
in the day he called to say he was sending a couple of guys out next day
(a Saturday) to remove the shingles and underlayment on that portion of
the roof and reinstall with double underlayment.

Getting this guy to fix all the exposed nails was a big big hassle, and
I was the guy who had to find them all. All in all it took around a
month to get them to fix the problems, and there may well be others that
I wasn't able to spot. I couldn't find someone to give me an impartial
and professional inspection, and I really did try.

I went with this company because they seemed to have the best ideas for
repairing certain problems I had. Also, their quote was relatively
reasonable. Another factor was that winter was bearing down on me and I
had to make a decision quickly. It would have been better if I'd gotten
all over the situation a couple of months earlier.

It might be OK, but I'm not sure.

Good luck!
