the estimate that was given as a bid job to side our house was gone over by over $3,000 dollars. part was work that the roofers were coming back to finish, and part was an error on the two porches...4 people who looked at the bid thought both porches were included, yet it was decided the south porch was extra. and a small portion was for them miss guessing the materials needed.
question I have is, would you pay the over run ?? my contractor and insurance man say screw them, but they DID do the work... just weighing things on my conscience, and looking for what others would do...

Now if the roofer had to come back cause you werent ready for him, that would be on you or your general contractor. But if the plans were clear, the bid states the work will be done as per the plans and you didnt hold things up for multiple trips I would say you have no fault and shouldnt have to pay extra. I would not expect that from you if I was the contractor. Mistakes tend to cull out the good contractors from the rest. In my case, I stay just far enough ahead of the posse to go another day! :wink: Go luck with whatever you decide and let us know how it turns out!
