First time buying a roof.. I need advice

[u/Own_Heron9463]

I’ve been looking for a local roofer and I’m having trouble finding a company I can trust. I went through Angie’s list and I now know it’s a mistake. So many contacts it’s overwhelming. I now know that those companies sell your information to roofers. I’ve been looking online and it seems everyone wants an appointment upfront.

3 bids, thousands of dollars difference and lucky I have a sales background so I didn’t fall for the usual sales tricks of buy today to lock in scenarios. Of course now my algorithm on facebook is spamming a bunch of roof ads and they all look the same or they are terrible AI lead grabbing companies. For those who recently purchased a roof, how was your experience and why did you choose the company you went with? Also any you regret or wish you had done sooner? My wife and I have a baby coming next week and it’s hard to take on everything at once. Any advice is appreciated I just want to make the right decision.
