If you've read enough and just want a number, we come out, measure the actual roof, and put a line-item price in writing. No pressure, no obligation.
- ✓ A written line-item price — decking price per sheet stated up front, so nothing changes later.
- ✓ Price held through November 1, 2026 — the number on your written quote is honored through that date.
- ✓ Independent wind mitigation inspection — included with any stone-coated steel roof we install, performed and signed by a licensed third-party inspector (§627.711(2) doesn't let us sign our own).
- ✓ A roof certification — for your 4-point inspection.
Got a postcard from us? Mention it when we call back and the wind mitigation inspection goes on the job.
