The roof is one of those things that you need some sort of recourse if something f*cks up. Good luck calling that buddy guy back once you paid him.

People who are not experienced with trades do not understand the level of incompetence there is with these guys in the trades.
You think Penfolds hires the good crackheads? You only use Renewal by Andersen for your windows? lol

As I said, if it’s a complicated roof with lots of peaks and valleys that have serious flashing details, then you’re probably going with some kind of boutique company. If it’s a simple roof with a handful of vents, a person with literally zero experience could probably do it 75%. So it very much depends on the type of roof and how complex it is.

I find anyone who uses Penfolds or any contractor like this that is widely advertised tries to justify the cost by the name, whereas, like most things, you’re not getting a massive step up in quality for the additional cost.

Penfolds isn’t doing crazy roofs on the west side etc. it’s boutique companies you’ve never heard of where every person there is a competent craftsman
