I suffered some wind damage in thes storm so I called 4 seasons roofing for a quote and they told me their new policy as of today is to get a deposit of $250 to do a quote. Their reasoning is people were using their quotes for the insurance company but going with someone cheaper. I guess they have too much work so they can do that. I have never heard of anything like that before

Amazing! Tell them to take a hike, free estimates have been the rule for the last 35 years.

From my personal experience following a flood. In our town, anyone that messed people over like that didn't last, a few businesses that messed people over went out of business,...due to word of mouth. And, you may be surprised to find that many out of town folks are more fair because they are sympathetic...just make sure they are licensed and insured.
Do yourself a favor and run...run FAST. My very first post here on C-D was about them. They are grossly overpriced and they are relentless with their phone calls. I have never paid for an estimate from a contractor. In fact, one of the companies we called for window estimates was Allure. They were far less expensive and the estimate was free and they didn't bombard us with constant phone calls. How do they know that people were using their quotes for insurance companies and then using someone cheaper?
Four Seasons Roofing in Farmingdale is first rate in my book. There is another company named four seasons so not sure which you are referring to. But we had a problem roof and had sooo many roofers over that were clueless...Love, love, love Four Seasons Roofing. They certainly don't bombard people with calls so suspect your is the other four seasons...
As far as Allure...we went to them to ask about Andersen Windows and we go no info from them whatsoever. Obviously just wanting to push their line...
Thanks a lot all. I have never had someone try to charge a quote. They tried to say it was because of the storm. I think I will find someone not looking for my money to start with.
Tell them YOU are providing roofing companies with the opportunity to quote on the job for $300 - so they can deduct their $250 charge from that and bring a $50 bill when they come to do the quote.
I don't understand the point of a deposit anyway since car dealers do the same and you can still get it back. Sounds like required tipping.
