year ago we had leak in flashing near dormer and handy man supposedly
fixed it and redid flashing in front of another dormer. Now both leak
and when I checked I see about 8 nails in the shingles in front of each

dormer. they had sealant on top of them but most is gone now. The
questions should any nails be exposed there. Should the first shingles
not be cemented down when you restart the shingles below the dormer
and windows? We have roofer coming today but want to know what to
expect.

normally, a roofer would have exposed nails in a place like that
covered with a dab of tar. i'd guess a more likely source of a leak is
the flashing. it should be tucked under the siding. did your handyman
do this?
