those probably weren't all the same product though? like impact resistance shingles with an air gapped radiant barrier layed down with a ventilated roof line and all that fancy stuff is certainly going to cost more than generic shingles over tar paper.
- brianwawok 7y agoMy bids on my roof were 6k to 54k. The 54k bid included a whole house energy audit with positive pressure tests and some stupid stuff. The bids from 6k to 32k were for the same literal shingles (architectural ) with the same installation and the same tear off and the same warranty. The one pattern I noticed was the bids over 25k showed me a video with company values. (One talked about how Christian the owners were) The bids under 25k I got like a 5 minute explanation and a chance to ask questions. Think I spent like 7k on the roof and it’s great.
- Spooky23 7y agoNope. I gave them a bill of materials for apples to apples offers!
- denimnerd42 7y agothat's pretty crazy. thats like a high end metal roof with all the extras on the high end you were quoted for.
- Spooky23 7y agoTotally. Some of these guys just throw out crazy stuff if they’re booked up. I’ve done a lot of procurement at work and I’ve seen it all. My dad got a siding company that quoted $120k to do the job in the middle of winter for $30k.
- pixl97 7y agoYep, if someone actually hits on one of those high profit bids, it gets scheduled first, and a low profit job gets pushed. When you have no jobs, you'll take almost break even to prevent employee loss.
