Some local roofers are overpricing projects due to the current boom in Coeur d’Alene. As a community, in all areas, we need to keep fair margins and not capitalize on the unknown pricing and the uncertainties that are opening the doors for contractors to overprice projects. I had multiple jobs last year that a larger company overpriced a roof (for example; their estimate was $30,000 and my estimate was $11,300). Most would assume the comparison in quality would be unequal, however, the quality is the same. I encourage people to dig and seek the truth of where this huge range in pricing is. It would be wise to take 48 hours before allowing a roofing company to hard close you in your home using high pressure, pushy sales tactics. The warranties as well as the fear of mold, leaks, or loose shingles are not typically an issue that warrant such high prices. If a roofing company is more than 3+ months out, they are typically not paying the installers enough and therefore they are losing their labor force in this very labor competitive market.
