Payment schedules on Valley Glen work should track progress, never run ahead of it. In practice, local references beat national brand badges on any Valley Glen roofing decision.
Documented, itemised estimates let Valley Glen owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. Low-priced Valley Glen quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. It is the same story on most Valley Glen streets. Square footage is only half the cost of a Valley Glen roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
