Roof Replacement (Bait & Switch?)

I recently entered into a contract with a roofer through my PM company and I have some concerns. I have yet to receive the contract (received the estimate) for which Ij paid half ($4500) to start the job, though I have asked the PM for it on many occasions. Roofer started teardown and tells PM that they were unaware that there were 4 levels (2 shingle, 2 wood), and PM states that roofer explains there will be an increased cost.

I advise that I had a roofer who gave an estimate just two mos ago and could tell there were 4 without a teardown (emailed them the estimate showing this) .. Roofer was supposed to call me to talk about the specifics, yet has not called me (to this point).

How should I approach this?? He already has gotten half the job out of me and started, yet I am unsure what I can do with respect to this price gouge??

(1040 sq ft shingle roof, ranch style home in Akron, OH)
