Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Feb 08, 2014 12:48 pm Hello, I have observed on the roof of our newly purchased home that in the valley sections the tiles are not laid correctly. Please see the attached photos. Is there any certification or standard for this sort of work that must be adhered to - I couldn't see anything in the contract, and so wanted to ask here since I would like to get them redone but not at my cost if someone has done a half-assed job or not adhered to the requirements they should have. Thanks!
