What got me thinking about this is the fact that I am now on my 3rd roofer, not due to being unhappy with the other 2 but because I keep finding a consistently less expensive roofer and switching.

On the other hand I let the roofer supply all the materials and labor. 

I called a roofer to give me an estimate to replace the roof of the new house, and he asked twice if it I was going to be living in it.

I've been out of town but hoping that the roofer has taken advantage of at least two moderately warm, sunny days to knock the roof out. 

Looking for a recommendation for a good roofer for a rental property in Boulder.

And I have been through 3 roofers on that list and they are all suck and expensive.
