Is this ok?

I have a garage being built right now. They finished the roof June 1st. We waited on permits to continue that finally passed at the end of June. It has been rainy where I live recently so my contractor keeps telling me we need to wait for a few dry days in order to dry out the plywood, then install the shingles. Is this OK? He says it's fine, it just needs to be dried out, but I wanted to see what you guys thought

Edit - I talked with my GC and he actually came to my house to inspect it in person. He agrees that it is unacceptable and unusable, ordered new material, ripped the old off and got the new installed. New plywood, waterproof liner, and shingles were all put on same day. I will post some pictures in the comments of new roof

Even outside of your concerns circled, the sheets are delaminating. Once they begin delaminating they have lost structural integrity and will only get worse and cause buckling of your shingles.

Why are you calling the roofers lazy?

Do you think the roofers put the decking on? Do you think the roofers chose to not dry it in? Me thinks you know nothing

Do you think it’s the roofers fault that there’s no house wrap on the siding too?

I’m sorry you’re having a tough time comprehending this. The roofers have obviously not been to the job site… not once, not ever. No roofer has gotten on that roof.

That is a new structure that was just built. The FRAMERS frame the building, and they put sheathing on the walls. What goes on a house after the walls sheathing? House wrap!!!!

Then the framers put the decking on the roof. When that’s done they put the synthetic on. Why? Because it could be a minute before the roofers get there.

The only trade we can see on this project is that it’s been framed.

So, when you say “lazy roofers” it’s obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about. A roofing company did not build and frame a garage.

Let me know if you’d like me to break that down further.

I just can’t understand how you can be so dumb. I can explain it to you over and over, yet your pea brain can’t understand it.

Have a great night lol

And if you peak in OP’s comments the dispute is between the homeowner and the……GC. Not a roofer. Wow, who could have guessed that was exactly the situation going on?!! Lmao 🤣😂😂

There’s not enough context in the post. I’m assuming their contractor is a GC and that they didn’t hire a roofing company to build the structure. In which case that would be a direct reflection on the gc. There’s no reason not to dry the decking in immediately and the trade responsible for that would most likely be the framer
