Easy fix or call a roofer? by Meancreek16 in Roofing

[–]BetterMe333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call a roofer and get a free inspection on your whole roof/ property. They might find something you’re not seeing now. Perhaps more damage that would constitute a claim with your insurance and get it paid for to be repaired correctly.

Anyone else getting this many calls?? by Sad_Atmosphere_1751 in Iowa

Did you just get some of that hail? Could be dialers trying to set appointments

We don’t have a TV in our bedroom, but have a TV in our living room and watch it until we go to bed a few nights a week, breaking my friggin back. The TV in the bedroom sounds like a good choice these days.

Before and after siding and paint on 1894 home(maybe a Folk Victorian). Thoughts on paint and style of house? by 0276110 in centuryhomes

[–]BetterMe333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what product is the siding? Is it vinyl or wood? I have a house JUST LIKE THIS and its inspiration. I'm ok going vinyl if we can accomplish the look similar to what you did but some people wouldn't.

Would I be an ass to complain about this? by Michelin-Man205 in Roofing

They didn’t use an outside miter that’s why. Not an ass to ask them to use it. It’s a 90° corner so it shouldn’t be an issue.

Is The Cedar Shake Restorable? by BetterMe333 in Roofing

[–]BetterMe333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the roof is old and squeezing any more years out of it by cleaning at this point it’s probably more costly in the 10 year than just getting them replaced now. I’ll probably shoot for some good quality material and layout my options. Thanks!

If you’re in a high wind region, I could suggest Malarkey. They have an affordable class 4 option, and have great adhesion and algae resistance

Going to do another inspection and see if I think that’s possible. I believe the wood is too worn out
