To the OP, I will not try to change your mind because from your two posts here you seem to have decided. Instead, I will point out a factual way for you and everyone else to see the "new villages team" not cutting corners in the building of the new homes. Go to any one of Don Wiley's youtube videos where he flys over and films the new homes being built. You will see may homes with green roofs, this material is self stick material adhered to the roof decking. It is also a self sealing membrane so each nail that penetrates it in attaching the roof shingles becomes sealed. It is commonly known as a secondary water barrier, meaning the roof shingles can be blown off by high winds but the green membrane remains water tight.
This type of material is an extra cost above the standard underlayment that is stapled to the roof deck. The standard underlayment meets the building code, the green membrane is above and beyond and many insurance companies discount the cost of coverage for homes that have it. This type of roof is far superior in preventing hurricane damage.
