I took the first bid some someon who walked the roof,
knew it was 26 squares, and it needed to be vented.
Bids ranged from $4,800 to $11,000. The guy who knew
what he was doing was the low bid - but I had figured
it should cost around $5,500.

Salesmen are not roofers.

Grin, we used the one who 'cost the least' and was a bar buddy, but the
reason why he cost the least was because we contracted several things with
him at the same time. Siding, garage door, etc. Package deal.
