Ann Bellamy, I am afraid your experience is not unusual.

I'm confident he's doing it correctly where I would, to some extent, be uncertain.

I was initially reaching out to hear if anyone had anything the knew of that would be unusual since it was with a family member.A quick update: Accountant stated that as long as we treat it as a a loan and follow the IRS's AFR (applicable federal rate) as our interest rate and have that documented in the agreement of the loan, we should be OK from a tax perspective.

If there is something unusual about a particular roof that makes it different than the one you got the original quote on, you can always take a picture and text or email it to the roofer with your question.

Nothing fancy or unusual.
