Made appointment for a roof painting quote from Ed Forrest and he didn't show up. I kept calling until days later he answered and said he was sorry, he had gone hunting (or maybe it was fishing, I don't remember) and the appointment had slipped his mind. That happens, no worries. He did show for the second appointment and said he's send a quote when he got back to the office. No quote arrived. I left voicemails. I texted. I called a competitor who gave me a decent quote and did a top notch job. I never did get a quote from Ed Forrest.

ou came out new years day and checked my roof since it was leaking. the next day you did a fix. first good rain the leak was not fixed. you were in FLA for vaca. sent Michael and Sam hughes over. eventually they did fix the roof. so I hired them to repair a bathroom floor, put trim up and remove old sun room and put in a new porch. here is what happen. when repairing the floor in bath Michael cut 6 feet of the main support beam out! ther trim in the utility room has two types of trim in it now, which is not how it is done! the front porch. my god, they only got one post touching the cross member for the roof for support. Michael Hughes left a trailer in my driveway for a week in my way!. I went out of town left a check for him in a freezer on my back porch. didn't see him or Sam for 2 weeks. Michael wanted to fix the main beam at MY expense. I said no I got a pro for that, PACE. they also allowed a neighbor to intimidate them. that is just down right sAD. if I were you, I would never work those two again! and yes I am going to give a review that is unfavorable

The average roof replacement cost for a residential home typically ranges from $7,000 to $15,000, depending on factors such as roof size, chosen materials, roof pitch, and labor rates in your area. Premium materials or complex designs may increase the price.
The cost to replace the roof of a commercial building typically ranges from $5 to $12 per square foot, depending on several factors such as roof size, material, labor rates, building type, and local code requirements.
Several factors influence roof repair cost, including the extent of the damage, roof accessibility, material type, labor costs, and whether it’s a general repair or an emergency fix. Minor repairs can start around $150–$400, while major repairs may exceed $1,500.

Mobile home roof replacement cost typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,000, making it generally more affordable than traditional home roof replacements, due to smaller size and simpler structure.
It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.
The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.
To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.
Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.
When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.
Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
