$100 - $150 PER SHINGLE (two quotes) to replace eight shingles feels a bit like price gouging to me.

(note: not my home so I don't know which companies provided that quote. Homeowner did decide to make the repairs himself for about $7/shingle)
Here is what you can do:

"Violators face penalties of up to $1,000 per infraction and up to $25,000 for multiple violations within 24 hours. Residents can report suspected price gouging by calling 1-866-9NO-SCAM or visiting MyFloridaLegal.com. Local officials are also joining the fight against exploitation."
