A Cudahy roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a estimate based on half the information. Cheap Cudahy quotes in most cases skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. As a rule, financing makes sense on a Cudahy roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of service life left.
The Cudahy contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a patch will do, is the one worth calling back. A contractor who explains why a Cudahy roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to swap out it. Payment schedules on Cudahy the project should track progress, never run ahead of it.
