This being a new roof, and when they took the toeboards off the roof they did attempt to seal it. The best thing for them to do would have been to replace that particular shingle tab. With this being a new roof and the life expectancy being ten to fifteen years depending on the shingle you really don’t want to start off on day one with a defect like this, do you?
If you’re buying a brand new home let me encourage you to get it inspected. Most of the time, it will be minor issues that if left uncovered will cause larger issues not to far down the line. These things are found during a routine home inspection.
