Roofing contractors seem to specalize in being rip off artists. The
crook who did my mother's roof was paid to put on 30 year shingles - he
used 20 and was forced to pay back a significant amount. Always always
always watch these people with a hawk eye - yes there are honest
contractors but there are armies of crooks out there. If they can save
time of money by taking short cuts - they will do that.

When the housing boom slows down - hope the crooks get real skinny.
