[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4246801, member: 50626"] This… it is indeed a fairly common practice to start at the ends and then finish in the middle with a cap type shingle and seal the exposed nails. As to your concerns about the ugly caulking where the shingles meet the fascia…. Well it’s honestly just superficial and doesn’t really mean a damn thing about the actual function of the roof. When they tear the old shingles out from under its common for the facia to take some damage and kind of look like hell. I’ve been in residential construction for over a decade and was a project manager for a roofing company for a couple years. At the end of the day 90% of the time it’s illegal immigrants often from Honduras or Guatemala who are actually up there doing the hands on work. You think they give a damn? I don’t care whichever Chad in a lifted 4x4 sold you the roof, he ain’t the one actually installing it. Most of the installers come and go, traveling back and forth between different US states and occasionally spending time back home in South America as well. The local roofing contractors generally take whoever crew they can get who carries insurance and comp and will knock the jobs out. Concerns like how smooth the caulking looks fall far down the priority list [/QUOTE]
