Filed a hail damage claim on my asphalt shingle roof. It is 50 squares of the HiDef algae resistant shingles and over 7/12 pitch. Replacement cost $ 27k. Replacement cost when I had it replaced in 2004 was $ 8700. Plum crazy to me. I put the first roof on when I built the house and I guess I'll put this one on too.

The really crazy part is they'll do it in one day. That's good! The bad is with hiring a roofer is I'm pretty sure all of their roofing subs are "independent contractors " so they most likely won't have Workers Comp even they tell you they do. A guy falls off the roof and dies and you're pretty much screwed. I rather bypass all of this and just hire relatives, get them fall arrest, and move on down the road. They make a tremendous payday and I get my deductible payed and some eating out money or " deer corn" money.

I'm a incorporated commercial GC so it's all good. I was hoping for a response like yours to draw attention to the high prices that insurance companies are paying when there are companies that will do the job for less. I assume that you are a legit company with employees and all insurance including WC.
