If your insurance will cover the roof, get three quotes and hire a good company. Also, I would never pay money in advance. I think McGinnis is a good roofer. He installed a friend's roof on a small house in the old part of The Villages for about $5,000. And, they didn't need to pay any money until the job was completed.
In the "for what it's worth" category. Just had a new roof installed on my home in TN. Comparable to my home in TV. Cost was about 60% of the lowest estimate I got for a roof in TV. I find that most work in TV is done at a premium except lawn care - that is cheap compared to most places.
