Any Roofing Pro's? I could use a second opinion.

This past late October of 11' I had a new roof put on my house, attached garage and pourch. 26 squares. My homeowners paid the replacement value of the old 3 tab roof, I paid the deductable and monies to upgrade to Duration architectural 120mph shingles, upgraded syenthetic felt paper and the snow and ice guard.

Two days later we got some 30mph winds and a few squares on the SW corner of the main house blew up, not off but standing straight up. I called him right away and he came back the very next day, looked them over and said they were fine and would seat.

Today we are getting 30mph winds again and that exact same corner is standing straight up, BUT some blew off this time, now in my yard. Plus, now, the northwest corner has some blowing up and one broke off. So both sides of the north to south pitch have damage on the west side. The garage pitch runs west-east and looks fine. Pourch faces east and looks fine.

I've already called the guy, actually he called me first! From what I have talked to him he seems like a good guy and all, he said that he will be here in the morning to look at it again... I called him back an hour later and said that I think the entire portion over the house needs replaced, he said he will be here in the morning...

What do you guys think? How would you handle this? I'm not trying to be a D*** or anything but I paid a premium price for a 30 year roof. I don't thing patch work and shingles that don't match is what I should get. There is no way in hell those shingles will seat now.

I like this guy, I don't want to be an ass. He may very well take care of it next summer, I don't know. I just have a feeling they might want to patch it up and call it good, til the next time. Just looking for a pro's second opinion before he gets here in the morning if my thinking is right or not.

BTW ~ House was built in 2000, we bought it in 2005 this is the third roof! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif

Not a pro but roofed for 2 years. The shingles have the asphalt that seals itself when it gets hot. Seeing as you had it done in October and in Ohio my guess is that it hasn't been warm enough to seal properly and will continue to do this until the sun heats the shingles up really well.

I've roofed a few houses, and patched others...but, that's about it. They don't seem to lay/settle down real well until it gets hot and sunny outside.

I play with tar and asphalt on roadways for a living, pretty similar stuff really.

We had some warm days after but you are right, no HOT days. My logic of thinking comes from my work experience of ~ Fresh tar is sticky, especially when hot obviously. After a while that stickyness goes away because it will collect dust. That dust creates a barrier between the surface of the tar and what you are trying to adhere it too... I just have doubts that it will get the adhesion that the manufacture intended it to get, to last me 30 years.

I could very well be wrong, its why I asked. Theres always someone on here that knows.

it has a plastic strip over it to protect the asphalt. It will seal with time http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
