Budget Lynwood quotes in most cases skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. Put simply, square footage is only half the cost of a Lynwood roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. A Lynwood written price that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
