FranklyReplacement recommended after one leak
A single leak is usually a detail failure — flashing, a penetration, a valley. It can also be the visible symptom of a systemic problem. Those two conclusions lead to wildly different prices, and the evidence should distinguish them.
Bids that differ by more than scope explains
When the spread between quotes is large and the documents describe the same work, something is unexplained. Identifying which line items diverge is usually enough to turn a confusing spread into a straightforward decision.
Pressure to decide quickly
Urgency is the most reliable signal that a pause is worth the delay. Genuine emergencies need stabilisation, not a signature on a full replacement.
What you should send
The written estimate, any inspection report, and photos of the roof and any interior damage. Roof age and material help. From that, a reviewer can tell you what the scope actually covers, what is missing, and what to ask.
