If a roof needs to be replaced, you call any one of the 50 local roofers and get it replaced within a week for $xxxFoundations often require more work to find the right kind of foundation expert (one will solve it for $40K, another for $8K and one who will screw everything up for $14K).

Who should be going first,  the sider or roofer for the area where the shingles and siding butt up against each other on the second-floor roof landing.

Plumbers, electricians, painters, flooring, kitchen remodelers, roofers, landscapers, etc. 

My roofer replaces the roof and charges $25,000.  

We know a good roofer in Madison.

Get more bids and opinions from both licensed and unlicensed contractors.With the roof, I have a roofer that is reasonable and a good guy who will repair rather than replace and be reasonable with you.

Your roofer needs to "uncover" some of his work, so the inspector can see it.

For example, my roofer is in his 50's, owns a business with about 30 employees, and has a dozen or more rental houses.

B) Generating a list of Reliable ContractorsCarpenters, Electricians, Plumber, Roofers, Window guy etc..Reaching out to contractors and evaluating them on factors such as:1) Professionalism - They are insured and present themselves as a business not just a on the side guy.2) Referrals - Follow up on referrals to insure work is completed with quality, insuring customer was satisfied with the overall experience of working with them and preferably finding contractors who work with investors and know the timeliness investors demand3) Pricing - How do they price a job, should I focus on per sq. ft. or is their knowledge that investors are looking for low costs simply enough and competing quotes will determine lowest costsWHAT ELSE?

I've had three times now when roofers (probably the most dangerous of all jobs involved in a rehab) have handed me perfectly good looking proof of insurance forms and they didn't have insurance!
