Looking to have a few shingles replaced on the top of my townhouse. Too lazy to do it and also, I know jack shit about roofing.

I got a quote today for almost 700 bucks to have it done.


Is this crazy or am I the crazy one?

Hard to tell without looking at it but that sounds really high. Did they find rotten wood? Most beaners and independents will run ya about $300, large companies, about what you were quoted

Seems a bit high to me. When we had shingles blow off our house, it cost maybe $200 for near next-day service. Yeah, get a couple more quotes.

I also had the same question when I wanted to start the construction of my own house. I wanted to take credit but I didn't know if they would approve it. I just demonstrated how much do I earn a year and the bank approved it. Luckily I have a well-paid job. The main problem was that I didn't know anything about construction. I wanted to hire some people so I found lakeside-hire.co.uk. I found a group of people that did almost everything. I just had to appreciate their work and pay them. I think the house wouldn't e so great without their help.
