Repairing what they fixed

On this job, the house was roofed about 8 yrs. ago and they did not replace the chimney flashing. It leaked, after the installation warranty had expired of course, and the home owner hired a roofing company to ?fix? it. It held up for a little while but then started leaking again. That's when she found my website on the world wide web. I found numerous problems with the work which was done by one of my competitors which I will not name. They tore out all around the chimney, put a little piece of 30# felt down and installed a super thin piece of aluminum flashing all around the chimney ( soda Can'thin ) and re-used the existing galvanized counter flashing. And added some ?shingle flashing? on the backside? wth? I found a spot where the stagger from a shingle to the one above it was only ONE inch. For whatever reason, at the top where the repair ties into the main roof they cut the top inch and a half off the next to last shingle causing leaks at every spot where the shingles fit together. Then they installed the last shingle and drove nails straight down into the roof and just put a little dab of tar on it.
