🏆 How to Get Quality Estimates
Contact 3-5 licensed contractors - More comparisons = better decision
Verify credentials - License, insurance (liability + workers comp), references
Require on-site inspection - Never accept estimates without physical roof inspection
Get written, itemized quotes - Verbal quotes are worthless
Compare warranties - Manufacturer (25-50 years) + workmanship (5-10 years minimum)
Check references - Call 3-5 recent customers, verify completed projects
⚠️ Red Flags to Avoid

- • Large upfront deposits (>33% before work starts)
- • Cash-only payments or checks to individuals
- • No physical address or proper business credentials
- • Offers to waive insurance deductible (insurance fraud)
- • Bids 30%+ lower than others (too good to be true)
- • No written contract or vague scope of work
