I did a roof cost calculator and I've had a couple companies come out and the estimates I received are wildly different. I'm talking $24k, $20k and $16k. How can estimates be this different and any other advice is appreciated.

Hi Candra, The estimates you got are very different but its important to ask your the roofers what you are getting. Different roofers will have different preferences and recommendations on what your roof should have. As an example, a 30year designer shingle will be much more expensive from a 20 year architectural shingle. another example; If you have a skylight, some roofers might recommend you change out the entire skylight while others might just reflash and seal, then recommend you change it out only when it leaks. I wish you luck. If you need more help and want us to look at the estimates, contact us and we can look it over.

What temperature does it need to be to install shingles? My roofer wants to do it when its going to be a high of only 5degrees or so.
Toronto
Installing shingles in 5°C weather is generally acceptable, as most manufacturers set the minimum temperature at 4°C. The primary concern during colder installations is the risk posed by high winds, as shingles may not adhere properly to one another until they’ve had a warm day to bond. Fortunately, the chance of experiencing a strong windstorm before they’ve adhered is relatively low. If your roofer plans to install in 5°C conditions, confirm with them that they’re willing to return and replace any shingles that may blow off
