It seems to me that you should be able to find a roofer who can agree to do the job, and install a temporary tarp or other fix to prevent damage until the roofer can do the complete job. Also, have you contacted your insurance company about the leak, which may be covered in your policy? They may be able to suggest a reputable roofer.

Regarding Collis Roofing, they are a large company, but they have a less than 2 star rating on BBB with 13 reviews. And, they have 19 specific complaints. Before you hire them, I would recommend that you read the detailed reviews and complaints. I give more weight to a detailed review where it is obvious that the customer was not treated fairly by the company.

Could you explain this a little more? Why are they void?

Very high priced

The amount of roofers' plaque adverts on lawns ~~ I'm sure most are unwarranted. Most of the rooves don't require replacement. The roofers are taking advantage of gullible and fearful seniors.
