HighestOur Recommendation
ABC Roofing (82/100) is the strongest estimate in this comparison. It sits in the middle of the price range but covers scope that Fast Fix omitted entirely — including a permit and a workmanship warranty. Premier Roofing Co. scored well but priced $2,200 above ABC for no meaningful scope advantage identified in the documents.
Do not choose Fast Fix Roofing based on this estimate as written. The missing permit and the absence of any warranty represent real financial exposure. A job without a permit can create title issues when you sell the home. A job without a warranty leaves you unprotected if the roof fails.
Next Steps Checklist
- 1Ask ABC Roofing to confirm the permit will be pulled in their name before work begins.
- 2Request a written warranty for both labor and materials — minimum 5 years on workmanship is standard.
- 3Verify ABC Roofing's Florida contractor license at myfloridalicense.com before signing.
- 4Get a project start date and expected completion window in writing.
- 5Do not sign with Fast Fix until all red flags are resolved in a revised written estimate.
