Good day, hey I was telling you about painting the inside of the house. Then it rained hard???
Okay, so I got like five estimates last week. They ranged from replacing the roof to a the repairs. The first one was a guy telling me that, there is more damage then just a few leaks. The ridge cap was put on with the wrong nails. I went up afterwards and found it has screws in it???
I am not sure what he was looking at?? But these are screws made for sheet metal roofing. I have put that kind of roof up before. Then I did ask about just the leaks. Okay I will give you a estimate on that, BUT you really need a NEW ROOF. Then he was telling me about a nice medal roof, It would cost like $15,000. Okay folks we just bought this house and we don't have $15,000. to replace the roof.
I got his estimate in the mail and all it was was a NEW ROOF COST. Why don't people listen?
Okay this is the problem child. So the estimates from $750.00 to $1,300.00. The guy that gave me a bid told me that he knows someone that might do it on the side?
Thinking why not ask him? He was the $750. He came out and I felt very comfortable with him and he was a older guy. Praying he knows how to do it?
So he and his son came out and did the work.
I asked if they could tar the seem? They pulled the old atr ff and put a roll of tape and tar over it.
So by His grace I pray it works. He did explain that there was a repair before on the (one) same leak. They just pulled the singles up and put a piece of medal on top.
So the son pulled up the singles and replaced it with a 3/4 board (tongue groove) and he told me it should do the job.
Okay Lord now lets us see if we made the right choice?
