Which roofer using better materials?
Narrowed down to 2 reputable contractors that I’m working with on a roofing job and curious which you would go for. Both are the same price before negotiating
Also first one is saying their materials are better, Firestone ultra flash vs Karna, does that matter?
Thanks for your advice!
