OK, get this. I got one bid of 3900 bucks. I thought that was pretty good and the guy was real nice. Large company so I know they have the man power to rip this sucker out in a couple days.
Then another guy comes over. He tells me I should just put new shingles over my old one cause it\'s cheaper. I already knew I could do this, but I didn\'t want to cause I had a leak. Anyway he said it could save me 1600 bucks so it\'s worth an estimate. He did an estimate both ways, one where he stripped the old shingles one without. He actually wanted 7200 bucks to reshingle and 5600 to just put shingles over the old ones.
How the Fizuck could he be so much more expensive? My neighbor had a bid on his house for 3900 as well from another person so I think the 3900 guy that bid my house was right.
Dude, did this 7200 guy really think I was going to use him?
He went on and on about how they may cost more, but it\'s because they have real good insurance. Um, I don\'t give a crap if you have real good insurance. The other dudes had insurance as well.
I just hate it when people try to rip people off. Another guy comes tomorrow. Interesting to see what he says. I\'m just floored at the dramatic difference in doing the same exact job.
