I also have side work framers and roofers that we call occasionally and we have a go-to local plumbing company and HVAC guy for emergency maintenance calls.

A roofer sees step-decking and waits until all shingles are off the roof to tell the the owner that they need another $5k to replace the decking with plywood.

do not think a GC license is the same in all states or that it will protect you - in CT all it takes to get a GC license is like $200 and a postage stamp - these guys can do roofs too - I think in NY you actually have to demonstrate you know about roofing to get a roofer license - check the procedure before you think a piece of paper means more than it does, and keep in mind the BBB and/or the state may not help you and that it will likely be your money that gets drained if you sue an LLC

You need to get a good roofer out and determine if 1) there is any framing rot going on 2) any insulation affected and 3) any sheetrock ceilings affected. 

I'm pretty sure the Act will be with us, just as social security is, which went through similar debates.I do know health premiums are sky high for contractors, especially roofers if they could even get it, Karen might chime in on their premium increases over the past few years.

Can anyone recommend a reliable roofer?

I have contacts for plumbers roofers Electrcian contractor painter floor person.  

A lot of roofers don't install them because they don't want to invest in the equipment to install TPO roofs

Hi @Jazmine S.Hire a roofer visit your home to give you 2 things. 1st would be life expectancy and the 2nd would be a quote to get it replaced. 

Does anyone know of a good roofer that I can reach out to, in order to help me out?
