I'm getting bids for a new stone-coated steel roof, and I'm shocked at the prices I've been quoted. Both the bids I've gotten are around $15000 for a one-story house of about 1400 square feet. If anyone has had a steel roof installed lately, particularly in southern California (I'm in Orange County (Irvine)), I'd appreciate hearing what you paid. Do roofing contractors sometimes give highball estimates, and require you to bargain with them?
Thanks, RF
