    The room is 12x10.

    The estimate called for 6 Three-Tab Shingles GAF 3-Tab 25-Yr

    I do have the actual estimate. Since I don't know if the contractor truly was the victim of a state and postal duck up, or if he is being less than forthright, seeing as how he is a firefighter and someone I've worked with, I don't want to put the company name out but I'll email the estimate to anyone who is considering taking the job.

    The gutter/downspouts need to be removed to install the new roof, so I’d recommend putting new ones back up.

    I heven’t seen 1/2” plywood for $10/sheet in a long time. I’m guessing that he was actually going to use OSB sheathing. Other than that it looks to be a solid and fair estimate.

    The top gutter trains down onto the addition roof, so the gutter on the addition is a custom oversized one.

    Anyone want to do it?

    Why not have a roofing party one day? Buy all the materials, sodas, bottled water, and food. People come over and help you put a new roof up.
    :thumbsup:



    I posted this in another of your threads:
    Greg, I helped my neighbor replace my shed roof (including replacing some of the plywood, not just paper and shingles, etc), and I'm sure we could get an MDS party up to help you.

    Let me know, and a thread can be started.

    John Book approves. ;)

    I have little doubt MDS could easily knock this out for materials cost.

    What’s the pitch on that roof? Looking at the pictures it doesn’t look steep enough for shingles.

    It's about 3/12. It's like the minimum pitch for shingles. If I really wanted to do it right, I'd put down a membrane roof, but I just want to fix it for a 10-15 years and sell the house.

    I got the money if someone from MDS wants to do it
