This is too shoddy for new construction. The roof field itself looks great.

I'll bet the roofers ran out of shingles and they are simply covering this void until more shingles arrive.

I would simply report "incomplete roofing installation at all hips and ridge line".

Looks like an "aw shucks" we really needed one more bundle. Since the rest looks reasonable I'd guess somebody thought it was a way to seal that ridge until they could get more shingles.

Of course if it's been more then a few days then somebody forgot toi get more shingles.

I usually chalk it up to being done on a Friday afternoon or first thing Monday morning. Workmanship sucks anymore.

I am surprised they let you walk on the roof, unless of course, the home had already closed. Down here we cannot bring a ladder on site while the builder still owns the home.
