Chose Badger Craft Roofing over a corrected Summit Exteriors bid

−$1,400

Original cost: $21,200
Optimized cost: $22,600

After corrections, Summit Exteriors would have been $1,400 cheaper. ROOF still recommended Badger Craft Roofing: 10-year workmanship warranty vs 2, manufacturer certified, 94% on-time record. This line counts against your savings.
