My wife gave me shit when we were looking at houses and I would drive into the driveway of a house and say "Nope, next!" after looking at the crazy roof line some houses had. When we had to get our roof replaced, went with architectural shingles, had 2 sheets of plywood that had to be replaced and it was only ~$2500 she finally understood my reasoning.
It's a plantation-style, so likely asphalt. I'm not sure how a tile roof would look on it.
8K if they aren't replacing much/any wood and aren't stripping back the existing shingles? Not really sure. Probably cheaper down South then up here in NY.
I thought you said you were cheap?!? A 3700 sq ft plantation style house does not sound cheap.
Can look up your house on google maps, on the middle-right, bottom portion of the page there is a scale. Move your house over then zoom in until the scale roughly matches the width of the house.
That's a big reason I stay around here. House prices are ridiculously cheap. It's one of the few things that make up for there being nothing good near here.
More accurate, materials for a house dont really differ much in cost if they are of equal quality.
Labor is probably cheaper which is likely at least half the cost of a roof job (or most home repair/improvement).
I posted this a few days back, not sure if you saw it. Thoughts?
i just spent 2 hours mowing the yard. i wish it was easier
I spent an hour plus the other day. It was brutally hot. I hadn't done it a little over two weeks. It wasn't crazy tall like yours but still too long. Ran out of gas at the back corner. It was getting dark and I was like screw it I will get that corner next time.i just spent 2 hours mowing the yard. i wish it was easier
I remember when we lived in the city and our 'backyard' was like 4 sidewalk slabs. Now we have a huge backyard I can barely see my kids when they play in the back. also got 1 of our 3 tents up already. summerfest is happening
If its being replaced it shouldnt cost him more than 1k, insurance baby!
Ridiculously low expense ratios. Like .03%. Meanwhile my plan is 1.05% for a freaking index fund.
Did I miss where he said it was storm damage that caused his issue? If I didn't, wtf are you talking about?
i never watch videos, or read articles like that. i watched the video posted on the blog. i just want to see gameplay or what modes they're showing off.
You know I dont read the thread.
If he replaces the entire roof insurance wont cover it. And I dont think its worth using insurance for smaller jobs if he just fixes the problem area. In fact, can you even use insurance for a random leak on a roof? Pretty sure you cant at least here in FL. It has to be some natural disastor or a tree coming through your roof or something...I could be wrong though.
What? An asphalt/shingle roof has to be replaced every 20 years or so and maybe sooner in places like FL where the heat/humidity and strong storms can batter them.
a couple years back around here insurance companies were replacing entire roofs like they'd lost their minds. two of my neighbors, my parents and a friend that I knew and they all seemed to know other people that got their's replaced too. I thought the same as you but this was all wind and hail damage stuff, nothing drastic. I've never had that kind of luck though - the only thing I got when I had roof problems was the insurance claims guy asking if I was muslim because I had a beard.
Yea but in middle tn they usually get replaced from hail every 5 years or so. Replaced mine once, after like 3 years I think.
This reminds me of the sink hole problem we had here a few years ago. Everyone was claiming sink holes even when it was clear to me they had regular settlement issues. A lot of people, my dad included got a nice payout from insurance. Fixed up their houses and had a lot of extra money left over to replace things they didnt even need but wanted.
That was big for a while here too. There was no real oversight to the insurance companies accepting all those claims. It is very different now.
yeah that seems high. My mom had her entire roof on her 1500 sq ft house replaced a few years ago for less than $3K
Remember if you have much of a pitch to your roof at all the sq footage of the roof could be roughly double the sq footage of the house it covers.
I think I like that "new" Backlog that posted twice yesterday afternoon better. Where did he go?
I really don't think my place is much larger than 20 feet in any direction.
ing annoying. Time to go on steroids. Or kill myself. Or kill myself after juicing for a while.
k Mental Note: When it's time to have the roof replaced or fixed MOVE.
