IF, and I said IF, you know it is wrong according to installation procedures then it should be mentioned to the customer and let them decide on the course of action. If they want ti fixed, then OK, if not who cares.

This is just just one mans opinion. I am not saying I am right, just adding my two cents...

I put in my report that there was exposed nails & that "opinions may vary", the report went to the lender, so it's up to them, Like I said I'm covering my butt, the builder wants to talk to me & I'll tell him the same & you & I both know what he's goingt to say, " That I don't know my butt from a hole in the ground & where did I learn to inspect roofs at?" Typical, they know all & we don't know nothin'. We have to be thick skinned in this business, ya know. Thanx for all your replies..

I think you did the right thing for in shingle roofing it's not that big a deal breaker to have those exposed nails.
Good for you.
