Homeowner needs independent verification that roof repair work meets contractual specifications after contractor failed to install required ice and water barriers and replace chimney flashing.

Homeowner lacks knowledge to verify specialized roofing work and existing options (general home inspectors or other roofers) may not be impartial or may have conflicts of interest; no on-demand, specialized inspection service for roofing contract compliance exists.
