Do installer's not know about the importance of flashing? There are so many water leak issue's in new homes as compared to the older homes that have, and you can see, the flashing. Sure sign of leaks when you see tar and or caulk. How do inspector's check for flashing under shingles or under siding?

These roof's leak. May not be evident for a few years. They do leak. Talk about fishmouthing shingles, and or rotting roof sheathing.

Defective workmanship. Keeping Inspector's busy. LOL
"Money" happened to it, Marc. As more disreputable roofers get into the business, it becomes more difficult for good contractors to compete. Ignorant consumers don't know how to tell the difference between reputable contractors and rip-off roofing contractors. They just go off price.

Money, laziness, and a lack of trade investment to give quality and
to teach the next generation how to perform the job properly.
All trades are failing and some materials manufactures and cutting the architectural envelope with there materials quality.
Speaks volumes about the generation behind me and the new generation comping up behind them.
All the more reasons , home inspectors have a bright future in-front of them Kenton.
