If you want confidence that your roof is installed properly and to code, look elsewhere.
I thought it would be fun to video tape the installation of my roof and create a time lapse recording. Turned out it would capture numerous instances of this contractor installing the roof improperly. It wasn't installed to the manufactures instructions or to Florida Building Code. There were so many issues in fact, the only choice was for them to completely remove the newly installed roof and reinstall it. Had it not been for the video, these issues would have never been discovered. Once the shingles are installed, everything is covered up and hidden but the issues would have led to property damage over time and the inability to withstand storm conditions we experience in our area. In addition to not being code compliant, there was a small section they didn't even remove the original underlayment (or install new underlayment) they just installed new shingles directly over the old underlayment which is fraud. I seriously doubt the issues I experienced are isolated and limited to only me. After speaking to the owner, he admitted to installation practices that do not conform to code as confirmed by the manufacture, Okaloosa building department, and others. The installers were aware they were being recorded so clearly it was SOP. They also damaged my stucco thanks to careless workers who were literally swinging the shingle remover to loosen shingles on the flashing and hit the stucco multiple times breaking the coating. They got tar all over my driveway by not having a tarp down, broke my gutter and I ended up with water damage to my ceiling because they wanted to finish in a single day instead of stopping work and tarping it during an hour long downpour.
I watched three other roofing companies install new roofs in my neighborhood and none of them had the issues I experienced (Their installations were also code compliant).
