Is $400 to apply for a roof permit and schedule inspection a fair price?
Project Details
I'm a new homeowner and not familiar with the permit and inspection process for a roof replacement. I'm considering applying for the permit myself to save the $400 fee the roofer charges, but I want to ensure there are no hidden complexities or 'gotchas'. The roofer came highly recommended and appears reputable, with all licenses and insurance checking out.
