what to ask Roofing guy/company

Hi, Isn't that why removing old shingle is good idea?

I don't buy that. I'm replacing mine that had black 3 tab right now. They lasted 31 years. I doubt white ones would last any longer. And looking at houses that have lighter ones, they sure look like hell from discoloration long before the shingles fail to shield water.

Hi, Oh, my, every any job needs written quote not only roofing job. the more detailed the better. I was lucky when I was having houses built fro my family I had an old German fellow who I could do anything with shake of our hands. He is retired now soon after building my all season cabin.

If you don't know much about roofing (like me!) try to get quotes as many c ontractors as you can. You'll see the ones who are really professional give you a more detailed quote (in writing). You should take everything down in writing - the materials used, exactly what they are going down, the time i t will take and the warranties they provide. For instance, when Champion Wi ndow did my roofing they gave us an upfront coverage on the entire roofing system for 50 years. They have certified installers, too. Check out their s ervices on the BBB or something. You should also ask for references and cal l them up to see if they had a good experience with the contractor.
