  More damage than a completely demolished roof?

    Yes, how about a completely demolished roof and $10k less in your pocket.

      Roofs in Florida run closer to $15k-$20k, FYI. Last dimensional shingle roof I had done was $14k, friend just had a quote for $18k. Fly by night roofers post hurricane are a legit concern. The risk of a complete failure are low, but I have seen poor jobs where a substantial part of the shingles and decking has to be removed and replaced. A possible solution is reciprocal licensing with a supplement demonstrating knowledge and best practices for wind mitigation and hurricane code, as well as a robust bond for failure to complete work to professional standards.

    A roof that collapses on your heads and kills your family the next year? (Not saying that he would do such a bad job necessarily; just addressing parent's argument that since the roof is demolished you can't do worse than that)
