TOPIC: Installation

metal roof and contractor used wrong underlayment and dripping onto fascia

Return to Installation

Return to Forum

2/2018 contractor installed metal roof on my house. Used Owens Corning Mat Moisture Barrier . He should have used Owens Corning moisture barrier for metal.
Now, I have staining drips onto the fascia.
I'm in southwest Florida.
Is the staining normal with Acrylume? Will the wrong mositure barrier result in higher cooling bills?
I was told the roof has a 50 year warranty. After payment in full, contracotr says it's a 25 yer warranty.
I'm beyond frustrated. Any advice?

An update on my metal roof. I just realized the warranty is under the name of the roofing company even though I have paid in full. Is it customary for the roofing company to hold the metal roof warranty in their name?

The installation warranty is usually carried by the installer vs. the materials warranty by the manufacturer.
