Is $42,000 to replace full roof including all new decking a fair price?
Project Details
Homeowner bought the house in 2022 and was told the roof was replaced in 2018. After a leak following a heavy snowstorm, the first contractor claimed the entire plywood deck was rotted and required a $42k replacement. Three subsequent opinions indicated the roof was actually in good condition and only required flashing repairs, with full replacement quotes ranging from $12k-$16k.
