Cost on a Bayview roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. In practice, a Bayview estimate that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. We see it on Bayview roofs every week. Make good makes sense on a Bayview roof with working life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else.
