Is $500 to install a chimney cricket a fair price?
Project Details
I had my roof done one week ago. Work started May 4, finished May 6. I got 4 contractors to provide quotes, went with the second most expensive because the guy seemed the most knowledgeable and had the longest work history. Company has been around since the 70s. Now a few days after the work was completed we had about an hour and a half of heavy rain. This new roof leaks in 2 places around the chimney, and one spot where the 1st story roof meets the wall of the 2nd story.
