Flashing where 3level shingles meet single layer shingles

5 years ago

My contractor is just about ready to call the job finished. He built a garage on to the house. The home has three levels of shingles. The garage is single level of shingles, so they are off set. When I came home from work today this is what I found.
I know that I will have to scrape and replace the rest of the shingles fairly soon. My contractor said he did this so we can easily do the rest of the roof when we are ready. Q: is this acceptable work? Will it leak or get bees under the existing shingles? What more would you if you were the contractor?

thank you so much

Wow, that looks like a Dagwood sandwich. 3 layers not even allowed, and has tied your roofer's hands in how they can transition the new roof. I agree with them putting a temporary metal valley to keep water from flowing under/into those 3 layers. However, not sure on the angle of the upper valley and a little sloppy on the cutback and should have more space between the edge of shingle and valley bend. It's a good thing your roofer didn't glop on asphalt sealant which many would rely on.
