Noticed a buckle in a section of roof above my enclosed porch. The roof was put on not even a whole year ago. In going back to pictures the day it was installed I see that it was there but not as noticeable as it is now. Hard for me to get a picture from the front as I’m disabled and can’t get out there with help and looking out the window it is not showing well in a picture. The contractor said it is normal and does. Not deny it is there. That I didn’t pay to have the framing replaced. I don’t feel it is normal since I had a roof there for 28 yrs and it never buckled. He said decking wasn’t replaced there but to the left of it was because they took out a wood stove pipe. He said it’s not under warranty. He called it a swale not buckle or bubble. I’ve had a leak on the porch which he says wasn’t their fault and the upstairs bedroom has a lot of tiny rings on the ceiling which he said is not a leak cause it isn’t wet. On the one occasion the workers went on the roof with caulking guns and he told me that it was caulk but sealant just looks like a caulk gun. Ok. I asked what was sealed and why and he said I was being g combatant and a nuisance. Two of the workers are coming out tomorrow to look the roof over. I don’t feel comfortable with this company any more.

So I don’t know what a swale is to me it’s a buckle and is this normal? With a new roof? So many issues here. Any input is appreciated.
