We had a new roof put on a little over a year ago by a reputable roofer.
Our entire roof was replaced, as we had had too many layers.

A couple of months ago, we noticed a bulging area a few feet square that wasn't there before.
We have not noticed any problems inside as of yet, but before we contact the roofer, we thought we'd see if anyone here has had a similar problem.

Thanks ..... Any input is appreciated.

Get the roofer back to fix it. The roof will still be under warrantee. Better fixed than waking up to a leak.

Did they replace the plywood? It sounds like the plywood is bowing.

Yes, the plywood was replaced.
We havent looked inside yet, as we would need to open a ceiling in the attic. But I am hoping it can be fixed without taking the roof apart.
Whatever is necessary, we'll do.
