How'd you write it up?

I don't suppose you could peek under the valley at the eaves to see if their was an ice and water shield. Anybody who could produce such a thoughtless disregard for valley roofing instructions had to have messed up the all important details beneath.

We usually blame thoughtless errors on work being finished at "beer thirty" but that looks like he must have done the work at midnight after finishing off a six pack or two!

Probably a greenhorn that's never worked in the rain. There are overexposed shingles in all the pics. I would be nervous about that roof. I think it should all be replaced, actually.

I contracted in a fair number of shingle replacement jobs before becoming an inspector. I've seen how deteriorated the underlying layer of shingles (and decking) was on multi-layered roof coverings. Humidity becomes trapped between the layers and quickly rots the underlying layer. Jerry's situation is similar.
I'd be writing up that the valley might fail prematurely because the shingles were not properly installed there and moisture is likely trapped between the overlapping layers. Cut the shingles back a couple inches away from the center of the valley so rainwater can drain like it should.
I know Jim doesn't like the word 'might' but there remains the possibility that the Ice & Water Shield will protect the valley until the remaining covering expires. I just don't trust it. I've seen Grace I&WS exactly once here in 9 years.

It's simple.
The roof valleys are done wrong and won't drain properly. Have a competent roofer - not the incompetent that did this cover - tear out these valleys and redo them correctly.

Yep.. Simple is better.. "Valleys are roofed improperly with edges of material facing upslope, contrary to normal practices. Leakage could possibly result. Have those areas re-roofed in the proper manner to prevent leakage".

The kid was confused when he was told to cut the shingles two inches above the valley center line.

He must also have thought the 'nail' line was his exposure line. I'd call for a new cover. I don't want the call when much of it blows away.
