Is $14,815 to replace asphalt shingles and plywood on roof a fair price?
Project Details
I am a new homeowner in the Rockland, NY area and received three quotes for a 1,705 sq ft roof replacement: $27,000, $28,000, and $15,000. I am leaning towards the cheapest quote, as the contractor is licensed and insured, and was recommended by a neighbor. I want to ensure the $15,000 price is reasonable and that I am not being taken advantage of. We requested all plywood boards be replaced to get a worst-case scenario price, and we plan to adjust the scope based on which boards actually need replacing.
