JerrySTL ★ Posted June 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2020 We had a new roofing installed. Today I saw a damp spot on a carpet and looked up to see a crack in the ceiling drywall. Found where water was coming into the attic and a depression in the shingles. Getting estimates tomorrow. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeman564™ Posted June 30, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 30, 2020 Sucks. I had a drip in my condo from a shingle that lifted up, I'm assuming from wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen ★ Posted June 30, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 30, 2020 I need a new roof too. My estimates were pretty high. They have to cover the bridge and carport too because it’s all connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did remove a layer of cedar from my farmhouse when I re did it. Went with metal instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my sons 25 x 16 foot garage for about 500 dollars, the dumpster to get rid of the old shingles would have been about 300, those shingles can stay put for the next 50 years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you put the steel over the shingles you don’t hear the rain on the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
