I think about 8 or 9 homes have roof damage of the 26 but none as extensive as ours.
Looked at the shingles very closely this morning. The " glue " strips adhered to nothing with the occasional short shingle were the glue activated. Just shiny plastic unchanged from the day installed and the nailing is sporadic often times through the " glue " strips. Looks like very shoddy work or a crappy product. Maybe both. Does anyone think differently ?
