Don’t be surprised if YOUR contractor doesn’t offer up a quote to you when you are going through the claim process. It is generally in the contractor’s best interest to settle on the insurance payout amount because most insurance companies pay out very well on the claim. Furthermore, contractors most often supplement the claim to get even more profits out of it. Remember, not every quote is apples to apples. Just because multiple contractors may agree to do your insurance replacement for what the insurance company will pay doesn’t mean they are all equal. There is much more to the contract than just the price. Specifically, shingle, underlayment, and flashing materials may widely differ. Warranty length and terms are another BIG difference from one contractor to the next. Finally, will that contractor be in business 10 years, or even just a year from now. Although that may be far from your mind at the moment, future service on your new roof is VERY important. NEW ROOF ESTIMATE is the BEST way to get multiple quotes, from competing local companies, where you can compare not only the PRICE of the project, but also the credibility of the contractor and all their material, warranty, and service offerings. You owe it to yourself, your home, and your investment to find the BEST contractor for your project and you might even save several DOLLARS in the process.
