Comparing bids
Ask every bidder the same questions: what product, what thickness, how many coats, what prep, what repairs, and what warranty. Two bids that look far apart in price often describe different amounts of work.
The cost of waiting
Recoating sound foam is inexpensive. Letting the coating wear through until foam needs replacing can more than double the cost. See sun at 6,000 feet.

Why do prices vary so much between bids?
Usually because of different prep, repairs, products and coating thickness.
Is there help paying for roof repairs?
