We are getting estimates for a new roof. VHCOLA. Single story 2,300 sq ft, 1960's L shaped ranch. Roof size is a little over 3,000 sq ft. We purchased the home 10 years ago, believe the current roof was installed around 20 years ago. We replaced the siding and the gutters about 8 years ago. So far we have 3 quotes, waiting on a 4th.

All have quoted for GAF HDZ shingles, ice shield, synthetic underlayment (no brand listed), flashing where needed. We currently have both ridge vent and a power fan which hasn't worked since we have lived here. Our central air is installed in the unconditioned attic, not sure if we should have a new fan installed along with the ridge vent.

Local roofer, been in business for a number of years. Excellent reviews on local social media (FB neighborhood group) Quoted $23,800 which includes 8 sheets of replacement plywood. Listed on GAF site as Master Elite. (does that really mean anything?) He didn't specify his warranty yet.
