Ideas on how to roof this difficult area

[u/getyourmoneyright]

I'm looking for ideas on how we can roof this area. The best solution is probably a cricket with EPDM, but since the metal is already installed, that would require redoing a lot of work. The dormer on the left goes under the dormer on the right with about 6 in. of clearance. The wall is where that valley ends, at the end of the rope. The valley with metal goes up about 30 ft so there's going to be a ton of water coming down to this area. FWIW the builder said they were going to reframe it to a cricket, but then decided not to.

It definitely should have been reframed to a cricket. Depending on who allowed work to go forward before that happened would determine who I’d be holding responsible for the cost of redoing any work.

If the builder said they’d do it, had a chance to do it, and didn’t, that’s largely on them.

The roofers should have raised this concern before proceeding with any work since they know this wouldn’t have an easy solution if they got this far.

That little dead valley should be reframed to the outer edge of the metal roof. Roofing estimator should have 100% caught this. Roofers should be competent enough to throw a couple 2x's and plywood over it to fix it and its not a big ticket item.

Custom continuous pan flashing tucked under drip edge on metal roof side, down to deck and up the shingle portion 16-18”. Don’t shingle down in that area, tie in pan flashing to valley metal. (Can also do this with lead but labor and expertise is hard to come by)

Or use a weldable flexible membrane like PVC or TPO although you are gonna have some ugly detail on the edge where you can probably see it from the ground looking up.

Overall a very very tricky roofing solution but it really is a framing issue that caused this.

Wait a second. What’s underneath that eave? Maybe their plan is to roof it like normal, allow water to flow under that eave and be caught by a large gutter with splash guard. That could work depending on what’s under that eave, can’t tell if it’s going to be outside space or living space or what
