I've had bad experiences with Garcia a few years ago after a hailstorm. I got an estimate from Cribbs but they are entirely too expensive. I don't know much about Ryson, though. What are they like? Good? I've heard of them but don't know anything.

My prior inquiry on the OT yielded several recommendations for Lenny at Alvin Ballard. Had a consultation with him yesterday & should be progressing with the roof replacement in 1-2 weeks. All is well up to this point. I'll report back after the work is completed.

Premier service team. Ask for Gene 225-792-4965. I don't know how bad your roof is but these guys will try there best to save you money if repair is possible.

They replaced my roof. No issues whatsoever. And if there were, Lenny posts on here and stands behind his product and company.

Do not, I repeat do NOT go with Ryson. Horrible customer service. If you're on the fence, have a look at their contract. It is a good foreshadowing for how things go down with them.

Garcia was superb for me as well. They even corrected a major leak that was a problem since the house was built. Hasn't leaked since and it looks great. They also use old fashion hammer and nails only. No nail guns.

Thread hijack, does anyone know the price difference between a shingled roof and a sheet metal roof?

I would not install a metal roof, there are issues with the leaking around the screws...
