It can be IF you are willing to pay it ! Pretty much anything the traffic will bare here, or I should say, accept. We know E. Roofing to be a legitimate company (from the area before retiring to the Villages) but... they were also the highest bidder. You really need some negotiating skills here, and stick to the long time established family owned companies in the area, not Orlando, Gainesville, even Jacksonville, etc. We finally settled on Bowles, long established family owned business that employs their own crews, not contracted, and never asked for a penny until the job was done, and both their inspector, country inspector, and we were satisfied. Bids for our designed had a range of $10K highest to lowest for the SAME BRAND, color, and style of shingle, so do your homework, find out and ASK about what techniques they use, nails per strip, how vents are done, etc. etc. ASK A LOT of intelligent questions !
