On a real claim
A cut-up roof is one with many valleys, hips, and intersecting planes, and it needs a higher waste factor than a simple gable roof. On a claim the complexity drives material waste, labor time, and the number of flashing line items. What goes wrong: a cut-up roof is estimated like a simple one and both the material and the labor run short. Check the roof geometry and raise the waste and labor to match the detail.
