I recently had a standing seam metal roof installed on my home at a cost of $19,254.00, and key functional elements provided to me in a diagram (attachment 1) from the company (before I signed a contract) were not installed.

No caulk/sealant was applied to the vertical gap between the Z-closures (under the transition/apron flashing) and the panel ribs (to keep water from blowing under the metal panels), and no end dams were installed on any panels (a secondary defense against water infiltration). In addition, on the south side of my home, the lower panel ribs behind the z-closure have been cut in an attempt to fix flashing that was originally installed running uphill rather than downhill (see attachment 4). These cut ribs provide ready access for
