Roofer recommendations for small repair?

I need like 4 shingles replaced and am getting Quotes from about $800 to $2800. I feel like it should be at most a 2 hour job. This is so confusing. Anyway, who have u used for small roof repairs? I've had like 5 companies come out. One of them provided a verbal quote and has ghosted me - Irish Roofing Company.

Some companies are offering no warranty since it attached to old work. Idk who installed roof because seller of house didnt know. Realtor was useless and should have informed me the lack of this information could have been a bargaining chip when i bought the place.

One company, Right Way, told me contractors are obligated to provide a 2 year warranty so I guess the ones who are telling me there's no warranty are straight up lying? Right Way won't take the job bc they don't want to warranty an improper install. Wish I could hire them though.

It might just be easier to do this myself.

Popcorn ceiling removed in 3 bedrooms and a living room

I had popcorn ceiling removed in 3 bedrooms and a living room in Arizona by some guys i hired this week. Home was built in 1972.

On day 2 of the job the ceiling sample i sent for testing came back positive for 5% Chrysotile asbestos. I was too impulsive and should have had the job start after test came back. Lessons have been learned.

The guys who did the work have removed all the old material, textured, primed and painted the ceilings.

The living room floor has new tile and the 3 bedrooms had carpets replaced with tile by same guys who worked on the ceiling. Now the entire house floor, 1,200 square feet, is tiled. The old flooring under the carpet tested negative for asbestos.

I haven't been home since the job started and am unsure of how to proceed. Job ends tomorrow and GF is cool with me staying with her for a bit.

I called two local asbestos companies and they said to have the ducts cleaned, change hvac filters, and to wipe down surfaces with a wet cloth and throw away the cloth. They made no other recommendations since popcorn ceilings were already removed.

I called a third company and the guy said he can do a $1,200 TEM air test for asbestos and recommend remediation companies depending upon the results.

I have the means to pay for that test and remediation if necessary. My girlfriend, who i don't live with, is really worried about being exposed to asbestos. At first I wasnt concerned, but she has me worrying.

We are in our 40s, don't have kids, and don't plan to have kids. Neither of us are cigarette smokers but I did used to smoke a few hits of marijuana up to a few times a week from about ages 25-35. I don't currently smoke anything, have mild asthma, and no other health issues. I planned to make this my forever home.

Thank you!

Does anyone one hit with side spin, or is it just me?

When i generate side spin my arm is practically horizontal with the ground like when a side arm pitcher throws a baseball. I've found it decently effective and seem to never encounter it in open play or YouTube. I think it's started to do this motion when throwing a baseball as a kid bc I can generate more power and accuracy and carried it over into pb.

Did I invent this?​
