The first place said they are short handed on estimators so I won't hear from them, to make an actual appointment, for at least 72 hours. The other company, that I've used before to put a new roof on the garden barn, is sending someone out on Thursday. I'm not sure how late into the year they do roofing work but I'm anticipating having to wait.
