The wood shingles are just about shot on our 16 year old house, the sun in Antioch cooks them to death. I am just now doing the research for replacment materials.
As always, cost is an issue, but I don't think I want to tackle the entire job myself (2 story house, gravity hurts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) Anyone on the BBS that is local and is interested in bidding on it? If so, can we get a discount for cash???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I just went through this with my in-laws house and 5 years ago with mine. I have helped others install roofing - for the money saved I would not do it myself. You can contract with companies to do the tearoff of your old wood shingles and install the underlayment. I researched light weight ceramic- just looking at the tiles make them crack, composite fiber cement- they look like singles but in five years they fade and have had problems. Metal roofing looks great but is very expensive. You may want to walk on your roof and that creats problems with some. Bottom line is that I went with 50 year warranty Elk brand composition. Extra thick and good definition and bulletproof. Keep in mind that CDX and chipboard underlayment costs have gone through the roof (no pun here) it worked out to be around $300.00 per 100 square feet of roof area. Five years ago for the same materials installed, I paid $200.00 per 100 square. The other products were as high as 450.00 per square. Dave
