A roof budget may include more than the outer covering: substrate work, transitions, drainage, equipment coordination, protection, and closeout. Material comparisons are incomplete when these shared and differing costs are omitted.
What to do next
Ask for alternatives built around the same documented building conditions. Separate required work from optional appearance choices. This makes it easier to understand whether a more expensive option reflects a different material, a broader scope, or a different set of assumptions.
