RoofNado Spyder underlayment + XT-25 3-tab shingles

  • Cheapest price on the market
  • Only 2-yr contractor warranty (vs. 7–12 yrs on every other plan)
  • 3-tab shingle — lower wind rating & shorter lifespan than architectural
  • No wind-mitigation report — could cost more in insurance than you save
  • No driveway cleaning or vegetation/landscape protection
  • No urethane flashing at wall transitions — a common future leak point
  • No dedicated PM, no 24-hr service line
