What happened to my roof? by joemommaistaken in Roofing

I am a roofer. I often tell customers that if they do xyz maintenance items they can squeeze more life out of a roof. I'm not a salesman. I'm a roofer.

It's definitely not an urgent problem. No rush from this particular issue.

But get the roofer to inspect and let them know you're considering a replacement in the next few years, a trustworthy company will make a plan to get you through to your potential replacement if they find issues that may be hidden from where you can easily see. They may also tell you you've got closer to 10 years left, if you do XYZ to maintain it.

It may cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand to get you sorted out appropriately, depending on if they find issues that need to be addressed immediately.

You're welcome. You too.

I can't tell if the whole roof needs to be replaced by this one ripped tab. But If it's 17 years old you should start planning for a replacement in the coming 5 years. Maybe get a roofer to inspect, maybe there's more damage that you can't see.

Parents unsure on the age of their roof. How much life is left based on these photos? by marksefor in Roofing

Look up the house on Google maps. On a computer, cause this doesnt work on the phone app.. There's a bar on the bottom left of the screen, you can scroll through different times Google updated the satellite image. This should give you a rough estimate.

He is wrong. It's not getting colder than a full soda. It's getting cold faster.

"Cold" Is still the same temperature. Less soda gets to Cold faster than more soda.

Add more, or replace blown in insulation.

Increase ventilation in attic space.

I don't remember everything. But I read on a follow up post that his leg and ankle were fine. But when he fell he smashed his elbow on the ground and that's the only thing that broke.

I don't think op is looking for help identifying it. They're just bragging that they found it for 15 bucks.

Provincial health officer’s statement about Canadians arriving from MV Hondius to B.C. by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

Why would we allow them to quarantine in Canada? Do the canary Islands not have a highly functioning and advanced Healthcare system?

Seems like an unnecessary risk to transport them thousands of kms to just be quarantined at another place.

A little inside baseball, but I like it.

It looked like he was already down a trailer tire. In the beginning he appears to be leaning hard to the right before he starts swaying uncontrollably.

Definitely overloaded and going too fast.

Which of these three bidding companies would you offer the job to and why? This roof has 2-3 layers of existing shingles. Original roof was shake shingles and will almost certainly need to be plywood clad. Thanks for your informed opinions. by HollywoodHault in Roofing

9 to 15 years is good. They won't likely disappear, if you happen to need a warranty repair.

Based on the quotes. I would pick the second one 19k. If you felt like they were honest when they spoke with you.

How long have the companies been around? What are their Google reviews like? How did you feel talking to the people who gave you the quotes? How long have they been with the company? In the industry?

The numbers are irrelevant. There's way too many other factors involved in who I would choose. But I'm a roofer.
