As a rule, a Bayview quote that comes in far below the others is as a rule missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. We see it on Bayview roofs every week. Cost on a Bayview roof covering comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. As a rule, a Bayview roof covering quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information.
