Why repair quotes differ
One roofer may quote to fix the spot above the stain on your ceiling, and another to fix the place they believe the water gets in. Neither price means much until you know which job each one is for.
A steep roof, a second storey or a hard path to the back of the house can each add to the price. Ask each roofer what they have assumed about getting up there.
Before a roofer comes to look
Note where the water shows inside, and when: every time it rains, or only in heavy rain or wind from one side. Take photos of any stains so you can compare them after the repair.
Clear a way to the side of the house where a ladder would go, and say if a dog is in the yard.
