It might need a low-slope roof adapter, too. Check the manufacturer's lierature for roof slope limitations.

I think you may be being too kind when you say amateur.

There is no licensing of Contractors in this State.

It is truly unfortunate that the Homeowner paid someone for this installation.

Anyone may call themselves a "Professional" Roofer, Plumber, Electrician, etc...

Face nailing etc. Recommend licensed and qualified roofer for evaluation and pricing of repairs.
