What do you think? Bad install? Defective Shingles? This was only on the west side of the roof. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

One other option could be a homeowner install. It appears that this pic is of the back of the house. Most homeowners, if they do it themselves, will start on the back, to learn a little and perfect their shingling before moving to the front of the house. It makes the front(the side facing the street or road) look nicer if they learn a bit on the backside. Just a thought.
