Broadhopper, even if a valley is not an open pan valley, it should receive a layer of Ice and water shield and then a metal pan over that, before the shingles get weaved over the valley.
An open pan valley starts out the same, but the metal remains exposed and requires additional waterproofing out of the valley.
Not everyone does things the same way and some will say that is overkill, but a call back is a black mark in a customers mind.
Things like this are why some companies are more than others, anyone that has been playing by the rules for years will tell you, that you are not going to become a millionaire swinging a hammer. But it is nice to step away at the end of the day and see what you have produced.
Good luck with getting your issue resolved.

Goodguys advice on trust should be A#1 on your list of musts when working with a contractor, without that, you are in for an Ulser.
