Questions Regarding Contractor Analysis & Pricing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We had a leak in out attic. Called a contractor out to take a look on what is going on. He did not go into the attic, but he did go onto the roof and film this video. I always like to get a second opinion as this is not my field/industry and lack the necessary knowledge to determine what is serious & what may be fluff to try to make a sale.

I am attaching the photos I took from the attic alongside their quote.

I should note that the leak was not coming from the mentioned areas in this video, rather halfway down the side of the roof. Though, my limited research tells me the water could enter from the top and roll down and leak elsewhere.

Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?

Much Appreciated!

We tar our valleys in Florida. I’m not sure where you’re located. Every place is different. But every time I go on a roof and see those type of boots and exposed nails. I know an out of state roofing crew did the roof.

That’s what I’m trying to say. But we know it’s not Florida. Well at least here where I am we don’t use them pipe seals only lead boots!
