I don’t want a new roof. I don’t want a loan. I’d rather be doing something fun.
Could be worse. I spent this past week and about $2k, in addition to the first 30k, fixing mistakes the roofers made when they put our new metal roof on.
Moral of the story: when a contractor tells you, “we don’t do a lot of [x]”, take them at their word and then hire someone else.
I’m just lucky I used to do sheet metal work and pretty much knew how to fix it.
What kind of roof are you going for?
I think we’re doing dimensional shingles again, even though I’m told the ones we’re replacing must have been defective because they look really bad for being only 15 years old.
I’d asked about a metal roof, but I was told they can leak if anyone has to walk on it, and it’s very difficult to locate a leak when one forms.
