The lesson I learned, never take the guy that is available right away!
I actually hired a roofer that I knew from Mass to come to NH to roof my house. He gave me an estimate by looking at the house on google maps. I got a dumpster dropped off. He came up with a large crew, completed it in one day and did it cheaper than anyone up here!
Paint a cedar shingled house? A good painter will steer you away from paint and recommend stain. This would have been a good time to walk away!
