That’s exactly what I worry about—doesn’t matter how “premium” the shingle is if the install is rushed or sloppy. I’ve seen composite roofs last ages,...
Three weeks does seem pretty short for a quote to expire, but I’m not sure it’s always fair to expect suppliers to lock in prices for months either. M...
I’ve actually seen lenders get picky about “roof age” even when there’s no visible damage. Sometimes it’s less about the inspector and more about the ...
