Time for the dreaded new roof Come on, guys. Help me out. I need the good the bad and the ugly about your roofers and shingles. Yes, I know I need to get HOA's approval first 4951
I had to look back in my records. We used Wesco back in 2010 and they did excellent work. Since we replaced the shingles with the same color/shade, we didn't go through HOA. I'd had to dig out the file, but I know we had them use a good grade of 30 year shingles and a heavier grade of felt. We also required that they use nails instead of staples.Whenever we have a large contractor job like this, we put out a large ice chest filled with ice and bottled water for the crew. It's not much, but it results in some good will and the foreman/crew appreciate it. One crew had a huge water dispenser but their ice would melt by the afternoon. We gave them what ice we had the first day, then we picked up several bags of ice and kept them in the freezer until they needed them. 4951
I haven't had to replace a roof yet but slso heard that Wesco is great.
On a side note, I too have treats for workers at the house. The builders did a superior job for the price of Gatorade and snacks. Two different home inspectors validate the good work. 4951

We used Wesco recently and are not happy with them and heard of some folks having warranty issues with them. I have heard mostly good things about them but we are not impressed. I hear 4 star is excellent. We got a quote from them also and I sooo wish we would have used them instead. 4951

@bluejay: I have already talked to 4 star. I have a good feeling about them. Your comments have reassured me. Thank you! I'll let you know how it turns out
I used 4Star years ago for a complete roof job and was very pleased with their work! They were fast , courteous and did a pretty good job cleaning up. We used Wesco at my work and I wasn't as happy with them. Granted , it wasn't roof work but I wasn't as impressed with them as others GC's we used. 4951
