With all the activity we had sewing the salon cushions, I forgot to post about the new roof on our house!
The origianl contract for the roof replacement was for Friday - but that's the day that Hurricane Helene roared thru....rescheduled for Saturday.
Here are the "before" photos. We got 30 years out of this roof - I think we got our money's worth! We had a few leaks and some rotten areas on the underlayment. No structural damage though.
The crew arrived just as scheduled and got right to work. Noisy process!!! We were in the basement doing the last of the cushion work.
Funny seeing the roof bare...
They did replace several pieces of underlayment so they had a pristine surface to lay the new shingles.
They put new "thru hulls" on all the vent pipes. Once they started laying down the shingles, it was quick.
All done! Nice new architectural style shingles make it look a bit more upscale.
The sun was setting so this side looks a little washed out....hopefully we'll get another 30 years out of this roof! Glad we just paid for this replacement and didn't think twice about "doing it ourselves"....

New roof looks great. 👍
ReplyDeleteWe roofed the house we built 30 years ago. We learned building that house that roofing and sheetrock hanging and finishing are best left to the professionals. I literally burned my butt squatting on the very not roof.
