Most roof leaks are indeed caused by roofs :-)
Yea I know what you mean though. I've never had anything leak so far that
I've done - stacks, vents, plywood replacement, chimney flashing, wall
flashing, and an entire 26sq roof with combos of everythig including
valleys. With someone not too familiar with roofs, improper vent install
(aka this outta be good enuf, or I didn't know that) is always a
possibility. Also, just walking on a roof not knowing to look for nail
pops, especially where you are stepping, can cause leaks.
Running out a gable can be much safer. But they still have to be aware of
things like maximum code length, bends subtract from OA length, length
reduces airflow, make sure there are no sags to collect moisture,
insulating the hose may be necessary, and so on.
