- Decking conditionraises it

- Material tierswings it
Architectural and standing-seam metal cost well above three-tab; the same roof spans a wide range on material alone.

Before you hire
- Ask for the licence number and check it against the state register yourself — it takes a minute and it is the single most useful minute you will spend.

- Never pay the whole job up front. A deposit is normal; the balance on completion is normal.
