Every shop runs the same four-part screen, in the same order. If a step doesn’t clear, the roofer doesn’t go up.
It’s editorial coverage, not a marketplace. Nobody pays to be on the list, nobody pays to rank higher.

The disqualifying questions, the scope-clarifying questions, the insurance-claim questions, and the red-flag answers that should end a call. In the order to ask them.
Most roofs do not need replacement when homeowners think they do. The list of visible signs, the ones only a roofer can see, and the actual lifespan numbers by material and climate.
