Time for a new roof
 

Luckily 60 mile an hour winds did enough damage that insurance is covering it!

:dance::shots::banana1:

Jealous, just redid 26sq over the garage and patio...i did get them down to about $215 a sq, but still way more than it was a year or so ago.

NotSlo, son just did his. Roof company from Fla., 1,250 miles away. Filed claims, worked all ins items for him. Sounded great until work done. 3 day jobs took 2 week with three different crew and couldn’t even match previous crews work. Shit job.

3 months later still looking for satisfaction before he signs over check....


Lessons learned; use local roof company, w same crews (not gypsy subs) for roof:yesnod:

Roofer is one I have used, does great work. Local family run company. :seasix:

:seeya: Doug

You won the roof lottery. It cost me $6000 three years ago. Roofer said old roof wasn’t done properly at the vents. The crew carried all materials up ladders on a two story house.

almost 19k for the roof

Surely I have posted this before, but just got dun with my roof, battling Peoples Distruct Ins. co. for some 3.5 years from Irma yet.....they could have settled for maybe 6 grand back then, but NO they paid 11.7k in lawyer fees to MY law firm...plus 15k to ME, who managed to get the roof done for a bit less.....talk about a PITA.....all the paint and patch work.....

I noted the paints are now done with sprayers....white that won't turn black/mildew/etc......I was rollering it on....PITA.....:sadangel::dance:

$7,000.00 for new roof that Super Storm Sandy destroyed.....but here if my wife did not have taken "wind" out on homeowners they would not have covered it ! :willy:
Hummmm....maybe she IS right ALL of the time :funnier:

How much is your deductible? Ours is about $6,800 - which we don’t have.

1500, but will not be paying that much according to the roofer. Some magic with the numbers I am guessing

They are moving quick, roof will be done tomorrow.

That is quick.

The 3 man crew that did mine after Hurricane Ike had a conveyor belt set up, run by a small engine, that sent the shingles up. So, one person on the ground loading, and one on the roof, offloading. After seeing that, I don't see why anyone in the roofing business wouldn't use something similar.

That's the way I've always seen it done. Mine was a small job so I guess they didn't see a need when you have strong backs. When I used to do my own roofs I always had the delivery company deliver roof top.

YUP they ALL have that setup down here, but I suspect the shingle supply houses have that as part of their delivery......:dance::confused5:

Waiting for wavy pics:seasix:

:rofl:

Wow. I wonder why the difference? Our roof was hammered.
