We got bids from at least 4 companies to reroof our house in an upscale neighborhood in NW Portland. Interstate was not the cheapest bid, but Tresa was the the most response sales representative. She was always immediately available for any questions we had. They had a fantastic installation crew with a very knowledgable supervisor. They would only work when he was on-site. He got sick one day and they couldn't work. I was mildly irritated by this, but now I know why! We have since moved to another house, and by a quirk of fate were not able to use Interstate to install the exact same roofing product on the second house. OMG, the results have been a disaster. I won't name the second company (yet) because we are in negotiations to correct the problem. But I can tell you Interstate is HEAD and SHOULDERS above this second company on every level: customer service, quality of work, follow up, You name it.\r
It's really hard to find a good roofer and if you're buying an expensive roof don't risk dealing with someone who's not an expert in installing them. It turns out there are technical specifications that make a huge difference in the appearance. If you just want something to keep the rain out, then get a cheap 3-tab and hire your cousin. If you want a beautiful roof that you (and your neighbors) love, hire Interstate.
