I'm in the process of having a Xtrordinair 44 elite installed and am fixing to frame out the chase for the chimney this weekend. Had a reputable roofing company out to give me a bid on installing the flashing and sealing things up around the chimney, the bid came in at $585. Sounds pretty high to me, our house in single story and the roof pitch is 5:12. Materials for this have got to be minimal?! What do ya'll think, am I just being cheap?
Flashing around chimney BID!!

Could you post up a picture of the proposed work? I think that may help some the people here advise you. Get a few quotes, if the economy is as bad there as here, there has to be lots of people looking for work. Just bear in mind that cheapest is not always best. Like the old saying you can have any 2 of Cheap, Well Done, or Done Quickly. But not all 3.
Oh I heard that and i'm definately not trying to get by cheap, I don't mind at all paying for good work. Economy here is going pretty strong and has been through pretty much all the rough times the last year or so. Not able to post pics. Our roof is a one year old composition shingle roof, the chimney is going to be roughly 28"x32" in dimension.
