Thread Name: BS: Cost of a Metal Roof?
Subject: RE: BS: Cost of a Metal Roof?
That is great news, Janie! After having a leaking roof since I bought this house in 1987, I finally put a new roof on the credit card last summer, over $9,000. It will take me a long time to pay it off. I was living with the constant dripping during rain and snow melt, worrying about the damage it was doing. As it happened, the rain was running down a gap between the brick chimney and the roof, so no real wood damage, just need ceiling repair now near the fireplace. After such a long time, I am conditioned to look at the ceiling whenever it starts raining outside, expecting the water to run through.
