Our Recommendation

ABC Roofing (82/100) is the strongest estimate in this comparison. It sits in the middle of the price range but covers scope that Fast Fix omitted entirely - including a permit and a workmanship warranty. Premier Roofing Co. scored well but priced $2,200 above ABC for no meaningful scope advantage identified in the documents.

Do not choose Fast Fix Roofing based on this estimate as written. The missing permit and the absence of any warranty represent real financial exposure. Work done without a permit can cause problems when you sell the home. A job without a warranty leaves you unprotected if the roof fails.

Next Steps Checklist

  • 1Ask ABC Roofing to confirm the permit will be pulled in their name before work begins.
  • 2Request a written warranty for both labor and materials, and ask how many years the workmanship warranty covers.
  • 3Verify ABC Roofing's Florida contractor license at myfloridalicense.com before signing.
  • 4Get a project start date and expected completion window in writing.
  • 5Do not sign with Fast Fix until all red flags are resolved in a revised written estimate.

The awkward messages, already written

Every report includes a ready-to-send note for each contractor: one asking for what their estimate left out, and one gracefully turning them down. Copy, paste, send.

Asking ABC Roofing for the missing details

Hi, thanks again for the quote on our roof. I'm just getting everything organised in writing before I decide. Could you send an updated version that names the shingle brand and product line, the underlayment, how many layers you're tearing off, your workmanship warranty terms, and whether the permit is included in the price? No rush - it just helps me compare properly.

Turning down Fast Fix Roofing, kindly

Hi, I really appreciate you taking the time to quote our roof. After going through everything we've decided to go with another contractor. One piece of honest feedback: adding a little more line-item detail - shingle brand, underlayment, permit - would make your quotes much easier to compare. Thanks again for your time.
