Thread: Roof replacement Day 1

Had a new roof put on acouple of years ago and there were 19 messicans out there started at 7 am was done by 3:30. No debree left in yard and no nails on the ground, it was a complete tear off. They did have a system worked out.

Replaced my roof 3 years ago. Did it myself with my 2 sons and a couple if buddies. Parked a dump truck partially in my garage. Used wheel barrows for the tear off. Tore off in a day, put down 33 square the next day. Oldest son brought his tractor with a loader to lift the shingles on the roof. Turned out great but I'll never do it again!!!!

Just burned where it hit...didnt burn down. Lighting hit it when I was on phone w/ here and blew a 7' hole in my roof, killed appliances, knocked bricks off front of house, and worst of all cracked main beam. Had a crew that came in fixed roof and put on 67 squares in a week....w a wheel barrow.

Wow! That's quite a story!!! Lucky someone was home when it happened!!!!

My guys are evidently HIGHLY allergic to wheelbarrows! LOL Wow is all I can say!

Are the shingles high up there? They've went up around here bout $30 a square since the tornado blew the shingle factory away in Tuscaloosa. I jus had mine done and had to pay $69 a square jus fee the shingles. They up to $80 now.

Dunno what they cost now. The mister paid for 'em yesterday and didn't whine so I guess it was the price he quoted us 6 mo. ago. I think it was $65 for what we picked. He did say they went up a LOT since then.
