These guys are very close to me, in the next town over. They are probably nice people, just trying to make a living. Check out their ad, it says 199.00 for ROOFS up to 2500 sq ft. One has to wonder, is that for HOUSES up to 2500 sq ft, or for ROOFS up to 2500 sq ft ? And no, I have zero plans on calling them, to fin...
