Roofs are the type of thing though, you go with one company and it could be 40, another company could be 15. There is almost no value in these “warantiees” the larger well known companies provide and say that’s why it costs so much because a properly installed roof should never fail. And what’s the worse case scenario if it did? A few shingles?
I would not trust anyone but Penfolds or a similar big roofing company to do my roof.

The roof is one of those things that you need some sort of recourse if something f*cks up. Good luck calling that buddy guy back once you paid him.

People who are not experienced with trades do not understand the level of incompetence there is with these guys in the trades.
