Got up on my roof for the first time since I purchased a house, and
noticed that a second story "bonus room" doesn't have any shingles on
it, just a layer of asphalt. The slope of this section of roof is
low, and you can't see it from the ground. Is this normal?

No, of course not...sounds like a roofer didn't finish and may have
just missed a section since it doesn't show from the ground previous
homeowner never went up to check...

How long since you closed? What sort of disclosure/pre-closure
inspection was done? Unless you signed off as "accepted" a statement
that removes seller from obligation of full disclosure you may have
some recourse for getting that portion of the roof completed with at
least a cost share from the seller.

Unless it is actually of low enough slope to qualify as a flat roof
(which I doubt on a dwelling unless it was an addition, not original
construction), it's almost surely adequate pitch for asphalt shingles.

Gads man, take your ignorance elsewhere!

Others, not the name so you can avoid it.
