Calm down lol.
They can't make you sign their contract, even though they'll probably hound you if they're slow right now.
Ding ding ding on neighbors. If there cost was lower, relatively same size home, don't freak out. Materials are basically commodities. Asphalt jumps the most but I'm guessing so do barrels. Decking bounces too. If they run into bad decking DO NOT LET THEM JUST COVER OVER. Having a few sheets in their order is peanuts. Don't let them convince you otherwise.
Fyi: Before seeing the house I guessed 40-50.
That shite is heavy and those guys have to get paid. Also have to take it all and unload at the dump...$ per pound.
I'm rusty but I think you'll want that old composition stripped off. Unnecessary weight and heat conductor.
All those ticky tac charges they mentioned sound squirrelly.
The sales rep should look you in the eye and you in turn trust he or she. If they give you the willys...think twice.
Get payment squared away BEFORE you sign. Some weasels will try and get start up payment, 1/3 usually, and then the balance immediately upon completion. You pay in full when completed, inspected by foreman and your yard is spotless.
If they can't afford materials and need start up monies...PASS.
