They finished the job about a month and a half ago, and the shingles look
awful, and some have fallen off. We can tell by looking at our neighbors,
that had theirs done a month before we did, that things are terribly wrong.
We don't trust the roofer to make this good, and we don't know who to call
to come and inspect it, and tell us just how bad it is.
Who do we call??


First, resolve that no matter the outcome you will end up losing some
money. Did the roofer get a permit? Did the nspector come out and look
at it? If so, you may be able to get some written evidence that the job
is bad.

You can get a lawyer, but that will also be costly.

I'd contact another roofer and see if it can be fixed. If so, you can
then go to small claims court.
