What roofing company do you recommend?

I'm merely looking for estimates, as I know there are variables when it comes to actual cost.

Thank you so much!
I recently replaced the roof on my 2000 sq ft home. I quoted 6 different companies specifying either owens corning duration shingles or certainteed landmark. 5 of the companies quoted between $15,000 and $19,000. The sixth quoted $23,000.

I initially spent about 2 to 3 hours with each company understanding their quote and how they work. There was a lot of difference in what they considered “built to code”. There was a lot of difference in the amount of detail provided with each quote and how they work. Several of the quotes were less than 1 full page of detail …. they were the cheapest … I chose a company that was neither the cheapest nor most expensive, but they did provide lots of detail about what was included in the quote.

I highly recommend you get multiple quotes
