Roofing & Metalwork Replacement
I received 5 quotes for replacing my roof, which were all over the map, ranging from $7,000 to $20,000 (one even wanted $10,000 for scaffolding alone!). My roof was a bit tricky for a number of reasons:
- was already leaking
- needed removal of 3 layers of old shingles
- steep slopes
- flat-roofed sections
- very high up (3 stories), and only 4' from the sidewalk
- fascia & soffit needed replacing
- late November (cold & not much daylight)
Professional Roofers' estimate was not the lowest, but it was very reasonable. Furthermore, their estimator/representative (Diego) provided me with a comprehensive quote, and took the time to explain all the details of the work.
The roofers arrived on time, completed on schedule and cleaned up the mess (my property, the adjacent neighbours' and sidewalk) very well. They used high quality materials and the finished work looks great.
The only reason I docked them a star is that the metalwork guys left a bit of a mess (asphalt and strips of metal) in my backyard, and the roofers overlapped my neighbour's roof by a fair bit (I own a semi). I am fine with the latter if it was necessary to prevent a leak, but I would have liked to have known that this may happen in advance so I could have selected shingles that better matched the neighbours'.
Overall, very satisfied.
