I've got a question for you. We had a severe hail storm. The following day 10 roofers came to our house saying "free estimate, let us put a sign in your yard, we do the best work with free shingle upgrades!" None of them will give me a price, they all say, "when you get your insurance estimate, call me and we'll go through it together." It sounds like they're obviously just trying to get the most money they can and insurance jobs pay more because they don't have to be competitive, they just get whatever insurance pays me. Can't I just tell them, "I don't have insurance, how much will you charge me to fix my roof?" Also... I've watched some videos and we had OC and paid for Class 4. We still need a new roof. One told us GAF is the best, another told us Malarkey is the best, everyone is telling us OC is the worst. Thoughts? I live in a severe weather area with golf ball + size hail.
Hey Dmitry.. I live in Central Florida and have been watching your videos as I am in need of a new roof. One of your videos you mentioned you enjoy reviewing quotes and providing advice on which contractor to go with.. where do I send the info for you to take a look and provide some tips?
Opinions are just opinions. Find out for yourself. Through experience you are going to get burned a couple times. Just learn from your mistakes. And always remember don't pay attention to. What the other companies are doing. Focus on your own business. You will be profitable. And won't have to change your business name every 5 years. Be safe and take care of your family.

I’m in Ohio other roofers in my area are 550-600 a square Iv been at 450 for shingles 600 classic rib metal seems to be a good price point for my area
We get 550-600$ on 4/12’s and 700-950$ on 6/12’s and up. We’re a bigger company out of Ohio as well
Great advice , I try to be in the middle all the time!

Curious what your guys subcontractors are getting paid.per square now adays?
70-120 per square on most normal roofs
I bid against companies that did the job for what my materials alone cost. I wondered how they did this.
They’re desperate for work.
I believe if you’re a business person this is common sense.
Thank you anyway.
What is a good way to find out what the competition is charging?
Secret shopping, asking your clients after you didn’t get the job what’s the reason and who did they go with .
Have a couple come and give you bids on your roof or a relative's
Don’t concern yourself with others!!!!
They are of no concern to you.
Have someone you know ask for an estimate on their house. Get the bid.
really. Walmart doesn’t know what Amazon sells for? You should know if you are too low or too high.
How can you get help for the cost of a roof? Fixed income
Need state and city
