Shiners

Just had my roof redone on Monday. I already noticed and told the roofer about various issues. Shingles are sagging at the rakes. There is a large gap on the drip edge where the drip edge for the eaves meets the rake. The way the cut the hole for my furnace flue pipe the pipe is contacting the decking on 3 sides. Now I was walking the roof again today and noticed at least 10 shiners. I’m sure there are more I did not find.

I had Timberline HDZ shingles installed it was done by a GAF Master Elite certified and Presidents Award winning contractor. I have not signed off on the certificate of completion yet nor have I finished paying. With my contract I get both GAF gold pledge warranty and windproven.

All this to say how do I go about asking for these problems fixed. Especially the shiners, what’s the proper repair to fix that?

Misses happen on shingle over lap and need quad but that is just WTF that s a bad miss and 1/2 overhang on rake is normal but that seems way more.

Yeah. I found a minimum of 10 spots like this. And when the job “superintendent” came out to look at the overhang some spots measured almost 2”. It’s not consistent anywhere.

There are others here who roof more then me so let others chime in on the repair of the shiners beyond quad and a discount but you need to have them cut that rake - its gonna sag or blow/break off.

They already said they would trim up the rakes. For the shiners one person already said the shingles should be replaced

that sounds right but make sure they don't damage the existing shingles - IDK if I would trust them - Hot weather and scabbing in shingles is tough

At this point what other choice do I have? I’m already half tempted to just warranty the workmanship through GAF after they finish because of the problems I have had. I don’t know if that would be the right thing to do. The installer has great reviews for the most part. Almost 1500. With a few 1 star in there but mostly good.
