Are these shingles properly installed

roofshingles

I just had the shingles on my roof replaced with BP Everest 42 shingles. The old shingles were removed, new flashing, waterproof underlaying, etc was installed. My concern is really in the final product: it just doesn't look that great to me (or my wife, who actually thought this was the old roof still and they hadn't finished).

You'll probably have to view the zoomed in images to see it, but to me it looks kind of uneven and wavy, with the edges butted together at strange places.

Is this actually a poor job, and poor enough that I should bring it up as an issue, or am I just being overly critical? I haven't talked to anyone from the company yet as they just finished; I just want some other opinions first as I'll be a non-roofer arguing with a professional.

Looking at the photos provided, I don’t see anything that qualifies as a bad job. My guess is that if they’re newly laid shingles they probably just need to be exposed to some more sunlight/heat so they lay down properly, but that’s perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
