Hello all. Looking for opinions......
I'm currently in the market for a new roof. I've recieved a number of estimates and have narrowed my search down to 2. Both are comprable in alot of areas(tear off procedure, clean up, etc.)and both are very highly recommended. But there a couple things that are different otherwise, and was curious if anyone could give me some input.
Roofer 1 - Uses 30yr. Timberline shingles, double flashes the chimney with bothwaterproof barrier and aluminum, will seal the chimney with a masonry sealer, applies 3 feet of ice shield from the eaves, along with a 15yr. workmanship guarantee. $7800
Roofer 2 - Uses Timberline Lifetime shinges, flashes the chimney but will not flash with aluminum or seal with mansonry sealant, applies 6 feet of ice shield, along with 10 yr. workmanship guarantee. $7500
I'm looking for the better deal. Is the extra 5 years guarantee and work on the chimney better than taking the 3 extra feet of ice shield and Lifetime guarantee on shingles? Or vice versa?
I live in the Northeast and have a colonial with a decent pitch to the oof. Wasn't sure if this makes a difference considering the snow we've had and probably will continue to get.
Thanks.
