Just beware. A new roof. You get an estimate. They strip off the old roof. Your home is sitting out with no roof. They tell you the underlayment sheeting under the shingles needs to be replaced at a cost of $$$$$$$$. You are not in a position to check competitive prices.
A different state. We needed a roof. I asked a,"friend," who I knew had just gotten a roof.
He gave me rave reviews on the guy he used. He was actually more than Lowes or Home depo. But, my,"friend," told me he was the best. I signed with his guy. The work was terrible. He left us with a leaking roof. I took him soo long to correct the problem that it damaged our real plaster. He refused to fix the damage.
After the job was done we got a letter that if we send him other customers he would pay us, I think it was $500.
If, your roof is not leaking, look up the best time to get a roof done in Florida. When they are busy, you will pay top dollar. Imagine doing a roof when it is 100 degrees and 90 percent humidity.
