Roofers here overcharge. Four or so years ago I was quote $12,600 and $15,400 for a 1527 sf house. Told them I’d give them $8500. Told me no way. Told them I’d bring my roofing crew from Atlanta (I owned a skylight business and used roofers on occasion), and get it done for $6500. Called me 15 minutes later and said ok. Ended up paying 9k as a bit of sheathing had to be replaced. Today, it would probably be 11 or 12 k max. If you do not ask, you will not receive.
