How do you know it's not roof underlayment?

Looks like roofing underpayment to me:blink:

Could be this. Housewrap rolls aren't usually that short

That is not housewrap. The roll is too short. I wasn't aware that griprite made underlayment/felt, but that's what it looks like. In this case, synthetic felt paper. It also looks like the bottom edge of the felt is over the top edge of the shingles.
So, from that single picture, it would appear that he is trying to protect your house, while he waits on additional shingles.

Just roof underlayment. Way nicer to use than felt.

 

FYI: Tyvek does come in 3' rolls.

 

I didn't know that. Different areas. 9' is the shortest I've seen.

Definitely synthetic underlayment. You should learn more about the products you are trying to sell. It may help.

 

House wrap here comes in 3' and 9' but that's sure looks like roofing underlayment

 

Maybe get up there and take a look, you were obviously on site.

With a quick goggle search one would see that Grip-Rite does in fact make a roof under layment which this looks to be . So unless you requested regular felt paper he is not pulling no fast one. A lot of roofers don't use felt tar paper anymore for a number of reasons. I have not for years.
So I would not going jumping all over him without knowing the facts.

 

Seems odd a builder wouldn't know this.

That is synthetic roofing underlayment

 

He even ran starters up the rake. Guy is doing a good job

 

He's trying to screw you. Call him and demand he rip off everything and start over with the appropriate materials. If he doesn't answer your phone call, get on the roof and start ripping it off yourself. This is unacceptable. Roofers are not to be trusted.

A little bit of knowledge sure can waste a lot of people's time.

 

You clearly don't know your ass from your elbow if you have to come on here to ask if you're roofer is screwing you. Do you roll up your sleeve and take a dump?

 

Jesus Christ. That’s why people hire professionals. Because they arnt expierenced at it. The man was just worried a little. Probably because off the bull**** ass wanna be contractors but are just a “I can do anything guy”. Yeah we all can do anything, it’s whether you do it right or not. But what makes me confused is how a person can expect everyone to know everything otherwise they are an idiot. 100% reality is the man who thinks like that is by far a bigger idiot than the person he is putting down. And go ahead, start calling me stupid and this and that like we are in 3rd grade The **** is predictable 🥱

 

Just an FYI.. Grip Rite synthetic kind of sucks. I don't mean it performs any worse/better than others, I mean its handling characteristics put it low on the list for me. IIRC, it didn't hold up well to traffic.....fasteners ripped out too easily.

And BTW, this is for those reading the thread who might actually use synthetic from time to time

 

It's also got chitty traction

 

I feel bad for your roofer. It sucks working for idiots. I can see why he isn't getting back to you.

 

AWESOME!!:clap:

 

At least this homeowner isn't yelling you guys that you are wrong.. he just bowed out.

 

Only nice thing about traditional felt is the lines

 

Question for y'all synthetic underlayment users:

I've always used 15 pound felt, but synthetic has piqued my interest, any favorites?

(My typical jobs are single-story, 5 or 6/12 pitch, 20 to 30 squares)

We use Grace and Bigfoot. Both are good. We will never use felt again I doubt. Easier, faster, lighter rolls, and it's like a tarped roof. Holds up well in a storm if you don't finish.

 

I've used a few different ones. I'm too tired to remember names. Some were better than others, but all are better than felt.

Once you go to synthetic, you won't go back. Quick and easy to lay. Some are speced to be shot with a roofing gun. Very fast. If you need to leave it in the weather it is like tarping the building.

 

Hate most synthetics. I'll take felt all day.

 

Being I do pretty much steel roofs when doing a roof I use only synthetic . Hate black foot prints on my metal. If put down right will stay on in the wind , does not wrinkle up if it does get rain on, with construction tape is easy to seal any little hole.

One thing did learn years ago with the stuff is don't use staples if it is going to rain much , will leak. until covered. Don't remember name , but have used some of the better stuff that you can even walk on if wet. which is nice in the fall.

 

My biggest concern would be in the wet. Are there any synthetics to stay away from?
