As a roofing contractor, it is good to have a few you can trust and use because things can really go well if the two know each other and work well together. The reason why is this, when the roof and HVAC are being done at the same time, both contractors that have worked together both understand each other's job responsibilities. Of course, having both jobs done by the same contractor would have the best results. There are not too many contractors that cross overtrades, so having the two contractors having past experience together is a good scenario. It normally goes like this.
The old HVAC removed. The roof is removed. Exposing the roof can be useful to the HVAC contractor setting the new curb or stand. Having the heavy AC unit off the roof the roofer can install the roofing easier and making a clean good looking job. The HVAC contractor then lifts the new AC and sets it on the stand and seals the unit to the plenum. Best of both worlds, if both are done at the same time. If not I advise an inspection of both contractors to make sure this area of the roof performs well for years.
ASPE/ANSI 45-2018 establishes the minimum performance specifications for siphonic roof drainage systems and is intended to provide designers, installers, and code officials with a standard of practice for the proper application of siphonic roof drainage.
This is what I would call an open valley. It is a trough left about one and a half inches from the center of the valley metal to allow rainwater to flow freely down and off the roof surface. I hate to use this next term since I live it the state but I call this installation an open California cut valley. Using a bleeder strip to gain a nice straight finish line the installer would use the shingles used for the field but running them at an angle down the valley, gives a great look when the same color is used. Then intersecting the bottom corner of the shingle to the line of the bleeder is the starting or ending point of each course on the valley metal. In this case, the photo sent to me above, the installer used a bleeder but exposed the upper portion of the shingle not too the colored bottom half. This is the outcome I am sorry to say. A different color that looks horrible.
Below are two types of installations I drew on the image above. The left is an open cut. This means each shingle is cut the angle of the valley. Caution, leaving a sharp point at the top will cause water to walk across the top edge of the shingle and off the valley metal. It is advised to dub the shingle as shown. The right side is what you have Steve. This would have worked using the proper color shingle.
Tired of Replacing Your Shingle Roof? discusses installing a metal-over-shingle recover system that offers a long-term solution with cost-saving benefits. McElroy Metal, a family-owned manufacturer of metal roofing and wall panels for a variety of markets, has developed two symmetrical standing seam metal roofing systems that are installed more quickly and provide a long-term, high-performance solution.
Tired of Replacing Your Shingle Roof? was produced to help commercial building owners understand there is a better way to recover a failing shingle roof than to apply another short-term asphalt shingle.

Many metal roofing systems have been tested and proven to perform in winds in excess of 140 mph (equal to an F2 tornado) and provide protection against impact damage from debris. The interlocking panels in these systems allow the metal roofing to resist uplift caused by high winds further reducing the risk of water intrusion and added damage to your home.
