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) |

There's so many different type metal roofs available today. They have Stone coated shingle metal, Terra-cotta look metal, Wood shake look metal and on and on, in varies price ranges. DO the research. Don't be like a lot of people who go for 30 year asphalt. Then when your retired on a buget 30 years from now and the big expensive roof has to go on. Think about what a roof cost to put on 30 years ago compared to now. Then what the cost is going to be 30 years from now.
I know asphalt shingles will most likely be the cheapest way to go. But just like your 914. Do you put the cheapest parts you can find? Or do you try to find the parts that are worth the extra money. Just giving you something to think about. Ralph 74 2.0 |
