According to the Center for advancement of roofing excellence (CARE)... Roofing is a $30 billion industry. Also roofing accounts for 70% of litigation costs in new construction.
Grumpy, I'll bet that 50 of that 70% comes from FL where rip-offs are common and litigation is premier.
Older folks are suckers too, they tend to think that everything is still the same as the 40's and 50's when you could seal a deal on a handshake.
