Trusty knows where to look.
The checklist changes with the kind of business. Here is what Trusty checks for this one.
- The exact roofer
- Trusty matches the company and location on the estimate so reviews for a similar name do not enter the report.
- The pattern behind the stars
- Follow recurring estimate, deposit, workmanship, cleanup, warranty, and storm-pressure themes.
- Before work starts
- Know what to get in writing about scope, materials, timing, payment milestones, and warranty coverage.

Here's the shape of a read
Illustrative only. Real reads are driven by the business you check.
Steady praise for the work itself and a low complaint volume. The weaker notes are scheduling friction, not a repeated billing pattern.
Confirm the written scope before the work begins. The few complaints cluster around start dates and charges added after the quote.
Is the quote written and itemized, and what exactly can change the final price? Who approves any extra work before it starts?
Two other roofers nearby with similar review volume and strong notes on communication, each worth a second quote.
