timmmay: I don't think I want to pay over a thousand dollars.
The roofer has replied to my email saying that hole needs at least a fixing screw in it. He's also asked me how many sheets need to be replaced. I've suggested he decide, I don't like being on the roof.
While the job his guys have done isn't tip top the boss/owner is reasonably responsive. I think we'll resolve this to my satisfaction in the near future.
Things often go wrong, but when a company follows up and puts things right that's almost as good as doing it right the first time in my opinion.
You are best to sort it out with the roofer, and am sure you will get it sorted, so both parties are happy. This type of problem though probably does
A professional roofing report does cost, you are probably talking about 10 hours of work with writing the report and travel and inspection etc, so you can see how it all adds up. But I deducted it from the amount owing to the builder, so didn't end up costing us in the end, and in the end it resulted in the roof being fixed upto standard. You would only get an inspector as a last resort if they didn't come to the party. The benefit of a pro report is that it is impartial, and it is a pro who is carrying it out, so a roofer can't really dispute the points it picks up.
