We had a roofer say our roof needed to be replaced and our insurance adjuster came and said yup,
you need a new roof and they cut me a check for $12,000.

Guess how much my roofer charge me to replace my three year old roof, yep, $12,000 to the penny.

That roofer screwed me though my Insurance Co.
If the insurance company gave you a check for $12,000, why didn't you shop around and find a roofer who would charge less, and pocket the savings?
