BUT BUT DONT SHOW THOSE ROOFERS ANYTHING!!!!! ITS CLASSIFIED INFO AND THEY ARE ALL SCUM!!!! ACTUALLY JUST SHOOT TO KILL WHEN THEY SHOW UP!!!


How about reviewing the quote when you get it and not just blindly follow what the roofer says. Roofing is not complicated. There are only a handful of items to consider for materials cost and the calculations for plywood (if needed), underlayment, shingles, drip edge, and gutters are fricking simple. Then everything else is removal of old roof and labor. If you don't know anything about basic construction, let your husband deal with the contractor.

yeah real simple.
there's only 1 underlayment to choose from, and one type of shingle to choose from and one type of gutter to choose from. They all cost the same amount, just pick whatever.


I'm sure everyone is an expert in roofing construction and knows exactly what they are looking at on the insurance adjustment so they can effectively tell the contractor exactly what is being covered.

If you're that paranoid about it, then make a copy of the estimate and black out the price, that way the contractor can actually do his job right and know exactly what he's being asked to do.
