Is this a proper roof repair? Or did I get ripped off?

[Halcyon819]

My roof was bubbling, most likely from trapped moisture. I got a repair quote for $600. He started the job and it was not repaired the way I thought it would. He cut out a bit, let the air out, and resealed. It's still bubbly which he claims is the uneven insulation under.

Job Proposal:
1) Cut-off air pocket on front roof; then cover-up with modified bitumen. Apply modified bitumen to overlap right and left side roof.

Is this proper? Or did I get ripped off?

Also, the roof will have a low point in the middle where water will pool! Is that terrible?

I'm seriously considering emigrating to the US with a carpet bag full of duct tape and a tin of bitumen to set up a roof-repair business!

The letter t, the wrong way round.

I think you know the answer to your question.

No! but charging $600 dollars for some tape and tar is.
