Hey All, I'm getting a new metal roof put on my home and have some concerns around the install quality I'm seeing. I of course ask the installer and they assure me this will all smooth out in time, I imagine around the time they are long gone and the ink is dry on the check.
In short, we're getting a 26ga black metal roof striated. (Tri County Metals, TCM-LOK)
The stick on water proof underlayment is being used.
My concern is i'm seeing a lot of oil canning, possible nail pops and I can see every seam of the underlayment where it overlapped. Is this normal (is the install quality ok), and will this in fact level out over time? Install is in progress, so know that many areas are in fact not complete
This first image is where the pool solar panels were. The wood was wavy before it went on...I know this will not level out but I feel like they should've replaced the wood underneath.

This is the best looking side, I can tolerate this level of bumps/oil canning but it's still far worse than another home that was just done in my area.
