Unless you can come up with something more specific to back up your ludicrous claims i'll assume you're a troll.

blue collar contractors in this area are raping the white collars


My neighbors in PG are all carpenter, day care provider, nanny, plumber, electrician, nurses etc.
It is all much cheaper over here...you all get the Bethesda Arlington McLean Fairfax MoCo NW DC price inflation


You can usually find them on craigslist, hire the workers of a rip off anglieslist listed company

thanks for all the inputs. So far, I am getting estimates from 3 companies, only one estimate was given so far. I would definitely trying to get another two more estimates.

Any recommended roofers out there I can try to call?

Thanks

Oh come on. Those costs are plain wrong, but even if you took then at face value they don't include removal of old roof, guttering, flashing,.replacing rotten timber, cost of sola tubes and installation or many other parts of the job. Oh, plus flat rods most often aren't shingle. Mine wasn't.
