Yes, but his argument "*probably* invalidates warranty" is in most cases just not true.
So he is basing his preference on wrong information, most likely. Hence a push back suggesting a *better* route, with *better performance* and *lower cost* because it would be a shame to miss out on that based on wrong information about warranties.

It looks like he wants to DIY, so the warranty concerns for the roof may be more valid or it might just be anxiety about leakage. Hopefully post #17 will help. If not, ask questions.

Roofing is one of my trades. 35 yrs in.

The manufacturer's warrantee remains unaffected IF the installation of products are done correctly. This includes shingle lay out, nail placement, and install of all accessories/penetrations.

Workmanship warrantee should also remain unaffected. If additional work is done upon completion, only the additional work would not be covered. Example, if wall flashing leaks at a future date it remains under warrantee. Whereas a new penetration would not be covered,
unless done by the same contractor holding responsibility for the warrantee.

If the original contractor is unwilling, or is not able to do the additional for whatever reason, then a new contractor would be responsible for the additional work with a written warrantee.

FWIW, if I install a 30yr manufactures shingle, my workmanship warrantee holds the same with the signed home owner. I was that proud of my trade. The underbidders and cutthroats pushed me away from the trade.
