Should it not have been in the middle of a rib? I guess I should clarify - that vent was present in the previous roof so I guess my roofer just chose not to move it...

I recently had a double standing seam acrylic coated galvalume roof installed on my new house. There were a couple hiccups during the installation but aside from a minor leak around a skylight everything seems to have come out okay. Inspecting the roof yesterday I noticed that the roofers had cut beneath the hardieplank siding to slide the metal beneath. I understand that this was to keep rain from getting into the wall under the siding but there is a gap left between the metal and the hardieplank leaving the bottom edge of the siding exposed... (see attached photo) Might this present any future problems - water, pests, etc, and if so what would be the best way to remedy it? Click to Enlarge .jpg].jpg] 44.46 KB

It is the same system that's moving East through San Antonio & Austin. Are IR camera's easy to get a hold of - will I need to hire an inspector?

I am having an acrylic coated double standing seam galvalume roof installed on my new home - the shingle tear off was started this past Weds but before the metal could be installed we were hit with an unexpected rain storm. My roofer has assured me that the exposed area of the roof (basically the entire roof at this point) will be fine since his crew managed to install the underlayer protection before the rain hit but despite his assurances I am still nervous... Beyond any obvious leaks inside the house what should I look for to determine if there is any moisture damage that needs remedying before the metal sheets are installed? As far as I know the roofing crew has not tarped the exposed portions of the roof... I don't currently live in the house but intend to move in in the next couple weeks - should I ask my roofer to wait until the underlayer is dry before installing the metal or would prolonging the install just increase the risk of damage to the wood? Any advice would be much appreciated... Thanks!
