I'm watching guys replace the roof on an adjacent building in my condo
complex. After a weekend rain, the nails they're using are notably
rusted. Seems like a bad thing to me, but is this normal or a sign of
substandard materials?? ???? Should I call it to the attention of the
property manager??

materials..

All the roofing nails I've seen looked like aluminum to me... No rust after
MUCH exposure to moisture.

in areas completed normally no nails should be visible..

Must only be subroofing that was all that was down before the rain if
there are nails showing to begin with. They'll all be covered up w/
the final layer and be dry. I'd not be overly concerned about bright
nail in that application.
