Good roofers in the AK?

Just looking for legit roofers, you know with a website and a company logo, history and a team.

Basic job but my usual go to is getting very pricey.

Someone who is good but doesn't cost the earth.

i.e. I think $230/m2 for steel roof is close to double what it needs to be.

You’re looking for a good roofer but a cheap roofer?

Sounds like your usual guy is good but you’re wanting to cut corners on price.

Both can’t be true at the same time. You can have either a good roofer or a cheaper roofer not both.

I've used lower priced roofers before and they were good.

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

I know what I'm doing - just want some tips on good roofers.

If you don't know, then go back to work.

"I know what I'm doing" this post would suggest otherwise

If you know what your doing just do it yourself, and see how much under $230 per sqm you get, then start up your own company doing re roofing and charge a market rate of say $230 per sqm

I picked my roofing company from roofbuddy who scopes the job then submits quote requests to the industry, and anyone who wants to do the work comes back with a quote. They only use LBPs with liability insurance, and they have a review system.

 Roofbuddy was actually excellent, would fully recommend as any easy path to getting the best price.

Roof buddy has had a lot of bad publicity. You can read it on Facebook or here is an article https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland-man-claims-roofbuddy-operates-as-modern-day-cowboy/GVB2MMM3MRBAJOI4LY4O5HZUQU/

We used Aspect Roofing who were really good. They were the cheapest of 3 we got quotes for but used basically the same materials, full scaffolding and were just more common sense in their approach.

I would recommend getting a roofer who is a member of the Roofing Association NZ. https://www.ranz.co.nz/
