They have done like 5 houses in my neighborhood. does this seem like a fair price

This is too hard to tell honestly. I know you listed sq footage of the house, but 1 or 2 stories really changes the square footage of the roof (obviously 2500 sq ft over 1 story is much larger roof area than a 2 story of the same sq ft), hips, valleys, etc. Obviously your insurance company will have a figure they're willing to cover, this should make it under that... but impossible to honestly say. Hence why getting your adjuster and a couple quotes is so valuable. Absolutely ask your neighbors how they felt about it. Obviously most issues don't show up until a big rain, but some red flags are present before that. I've heard nothing bad about that company, just no firsthand experience with.

The 2 people i sent to my mom's house for quotes were matt reese, may be reese's roofing... and keith stern roofing. I can attest to 2 decades of solid service with either company. I have no idea how busy they are, but i can imagine lol. Keith is in clay and i feel matt is on your side of the river.

Tons of good companies out there. Just kick a few tires and ask as many questions as you want. If their estimator doesn't or can't answer the question, move on to the next one.

Total sidebar: worst inspector i ever had the privilege to deal with was stationed in mandarin, forever. I used to get so pissed when i heard we had another addition to do off of orangepicker. I feel ol' Solomon has finally retired, so hopefully you won't have a needless reinspection

if you were to ask say 3 questions when they come out what would they be? i'm trying to stick to companies that have a good rating with the better business bureau. I got burned when i got a new ac a few years back by not checking that site. had i done that i would have noticed they had a terrible rating.
