Default Is this roof right?

So we're in the process of doing a big renovation on our house and one
of the things that we did was the roof. When we bid the roof I wanted
shingles, but was told that I would have to add pitch if I wanted to
go with shingles. There was loose rock on this small section of roof
and the garage. After I was given a price to add pitch to the roof I
told them to go with the loose rock. Then my contractor said that the
roofer could do shingles and we'd be okay without adding pitch, so I
gave them a green light.
Cut to the other day when I notice that part of the roof is shingled
and part is not. When I asked the contractor about it he told me that
in fact the pitch was not there for shingles so they did part with
shingles and part without. He knows he screwed up and he left a
voicemail saying if I wanted the roofer would come and mastic (sp?)
some shingles on top of the material.

Personally the whole thing sounds pretty hinky to me, but I was hoping
for some words of advice so when I have my meeting with my contractor
he won't be able to BS me.

I set up a page so you can take a look at the work that's been done.
