Our daughter and son-in-law recently had a complete re-roofing job done on their house by a reputable contractor.
They did a great job at a decent price.
No comment about that. But... this is one thing that I told her, that I think is worth repeating.
Nowadays... if you do any replacement work on your roof... keep receipts and take pictures. Keep a copy for yourself. Send a copy to your insurance company. Why? Because if you ever make a claim on that roof from storm damage, etc... their adjuster will pro-rate how much they pay according to how much life they think the roof had in it. As in... if the adjuster thinks you had a 30 year roof that's 20 years old... you'll get 1/3 of the replacement (read your own policy in this regard, there may be some that do full replacement no matter what). This is something that I would not leave up to the opinion of an adjuster in the future. If you put on a new roof, or replace a section of roof. It's in your best interest to document exactly when it was done.
