As to the first idiot- write it off as an expensive lesson- it would cost

Yup, nothing else really makes any sense, sad though it must
be for the OP.

It appears that there isn't any immediate leak. Hopefully,
that will give the OP sufficient time to find a decent
roof guy, check references etc.

I sort of glad that I had a very minor roof problem last
year. I now have what seems to be a really good local roofing
firm in my database. At least I know who to call if a more
serious/urgent problem should happen to arise this winter.
