Always rogue people about giving everyone a bad name, anyone who can quote 5k and drop it to 1k is defo not on the level. My betting is also a larger "national" company doing this as well

F course, being devils advocate we don't know the size of the roof, whether it was just a clean, clean and seal, clean, repair, seal....

If it was the full works that's not an unrealistic price, just the method of sale that's wrong
