Storm chasers HACK job

See if you can pick out all the things very wrong here.
this homeowner is a relative and was taken by a guy bidding and doing jobs within 2 days of the storm. I wish I could have helped him out, but the guy must have been a good salesman.

I don't see anything a new roof couldn't fix.

The idiot flat out stated by his work that the shingle manufacturer can't provide as good a warranty as HE can. So he voided theirs, and took it on himself. He obviously makes more money than GAF, Celotex, Timberline, and Elk combined.

See it all the time.

Yes. It looks like the siders left an 'outie' lip, then they added a drip-edge. At least, that was my take on the photos.

Like I said, they VOIDED any other warranty but their own. That, high nails, etc.
