Improper installation and lack of proper flashing techniques.
The roofer could have easily ran the shingles over to the low rake board while properly flashing same......and still build up move shingles over that area to create a continuous flowing valley. Chances are they went with the lowest bidder.........this is what you end up with. Jeff |

It is a problem.
You could recommend repair, as needed, to prevent water intrusion and damge.

Don't see any roofing felt either but I do see exposed, bare wood.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill |
