You need to find a local roofing contractor and get a roof report done on your roof, or call out the local manufacturer's rep. The biggest problem that cannot be fixed without tearing off the entire roof, is the pattern that the roofing is layed up. I have never seen anybody put on a roof in that fashion. There is no spec in the country that allows you to have that sort of pattern on the layup.
The rake overhangs are very poor quality. Usually you would use a bleeder roll of 9in rolled roofing on the rake and eave edges. You can get by with field comp, but you never let your field overhang past bleeder layer. Bad workmanship for sure. To be honest, there is no reason to even go on. Your biggest problem is the layup. It cannot be fixed, the manufacturer will void any warranty on the materials. Hard to believe there are companies out there that are that incompentent.
Whatever you do, don't pay them the balance due. Very bad mistake.
The other issues regarding the way the roof is laying and other misc items will be of no concern. Your whole roof needs to be reroofed.
One suggestion, when you get it reroofed correctly...go with a 30 year dimensional at least and have them tear off all the felt.
Good luck.
Another post by him:
There are no if and or buts to it. Any other installation will normally void the manufacturer's warranty. I highly suggest you contact the local OC rep in the area and show him your pics. They will help you out and most likely give you some advice on how to continue. They sure as heck don't want their material out there that has been inproperly installed.
