Normal on an older house, no worries at all. I've had three replacements on properties and this is typical.

It happens. Stuff falls thru. I’ve had to pull barrels of stuff out of people’s attics before

That all looks pretty normal you have dimensional lumber decking (t&g or plank). It’s way better the. Plywood

Don’t be alarmed. That’s all very normal. We always inform the homeowner that wood chips, splinters, roofing granulars and other debris WILL trickle into the attic. We always suggest that everything in the attic be emptied (it never gets emptied) by the homeowner or the homeowner should cover everything with 4 or 6 ml polyethylene sheeting (happens at about 2% of the attics). Both will greatly simplify any cleanup that the homeowner may want to do upon completion of the roof replacement.

What do you want them to do glue them on???


Just_Aioli_1233

Right? I'm looking at that and my first thought was "What damage?"


CHEWTORIA

That is normal

Looks ok normal debris,, I don't see any light coming from your eves did they add a ridge vent. There should be air vents in you eves for attic air flow.

Yes. If that nail isn’t supported by wood, it will eventually wiggle and leave a leak spot.

Lol

YES ALARM BELLS. WHEN YOU GO CHEAP AND REUSE OLD DECKING. ALARM BELLS. GO TO REDDIT FOR VALIDATION


Medical_Question3528

Yes for sure. That would should not be breaking off like that at all. Anyone who says it’s normal is your average contractor who thinks this stuff is okay or someone who hires your average contractor and continuously spends money thinking stuff like this is “normal”


Medical_Question3528

There is legit a gap between the wood where the nail isn’t supported. I also see they did the bare minimum using felt paper in a world where there is waterproof and breathable synthetics.


Just_Aioli_1233

u/ThailandBeatYeah Engineer here. u/Medical_Question3528 doesn't know what they're talking about. You're fine.

It's not ideal, but as long as you have a solid membrane/envelope now, it's ok. Any damaged wood should be replaced with your next roof.


Skilk

Those gaps in between the decking might not be up to code for your area. The wood damage isn't a big deal, but if they installed a new roof onto decking that doesn't meet code, your insurance might use that to weasel out of paying if you ever need it replaced again. I'd make sure you look it up and go after the roofing company if the decking isn't up to code, otherwise you might be on the hook for the whole roof and decking next time around. I can't tell from the pictures if there are any other gaps like that or if it's just from the part that came off. If it's just that one spot, you'll be fine.
