Absolutely. On the re-inspection, I "failed" this repair. I should have taken a photo of the power vent. The entire flashing, 100% of it, was nailed on top of the shingles.

The roofer called me when he heard I "failed" his repair. He was real nice about it. He said he told the homeowner that most of the flashings were improper and that he couldn't see how the county code enforcement folks ever approved it. He told the seller it would take about $500 to repair all the flashings right. She opted for the $150 repair with roof cement only.

Now!!!! That last pic is hilarious! In the sense, that you have to laugh because the alternative is to shoot the 'roofer wannabe'!

Aren't there any homeowners out there that have a sense of logic?

Un-freakin-believable......

Here's one from today.

Nice touch with the keyway above the pipe collar. Could you see the top of the collar in the keyway? I'm sure it doesn't extend that far up. The chimney is no better, and roof is awfully wavy.
