That roof weld cracked after 11 months and I'm still salty about it

Built my container home outside Tucson last summer. Paid a local guy $2,800 to weld the roof seams because I thought it would last longer than sealant. Cracks showed up last month right along the corner edge, water got in behind the interior paneling before I even noticed. Had to tear out 4 sheets of OSB and redo the whole corner with a 2 part epoxy and flashing. Guess I should have asked how he prepped the steel, because rust was creeping under the weld. Anyone else get burned by trusting a weld job without testing it first?
