Agreed, which is why I also cited the "roll the dice" option. I'd expect a "licensed and insured" contractor to cost 5-10X a nice local guy that you trust. Especially for a ranch house as in the OP. This is also a time sensitive endeavor, further limiting options.
I spent the last 15 years as a building inspector. A few years ago when we had the incredible snowfall, there was nearly as much damage in our town from improperly removing snow from a roof as there was from ice dams. Many of these roofs would have been better served by allowing the weather to just unfold.
