It's a _NEW_ house acceptance inspection apparently...

Sounds like the installer got in too big a hurry and got a few nailed
too low.

Only 17 nails in a whole roof isn't much although strictly speaking of
course there shouldn't be any.

They'll probably do worse trying to repair it than it will be to simply
use a little roof cement over them and go on for that few if they're
scattered around hither and yon.

If they're all in one area so could remove/replace a small contiguous
area and get 'em all, then you might consider having them do so.
Otherwise, the damage done trying to replace a single shingle here and
there probably outweighs the likelihood of these ever being a real problem.

Yes, it is a brand new house! This was the first thing my house
inspector noted when he did his work.
