We had a company come out to take a look at the roof -- we knew it had some problems, but it's also getting up there in age, so we didn't know if we should repair or replace. They recommended repairing because we "could get a few more years out of this roof."
Well, they came to do the work today, and after they finished the repairs, they explained that we really needed a new roof.
Right now I'm pretty disappointed, because I would have expected the estimator's opinion to be in line with the opinions of the guys that are doing the work. If we really needed a new roof, then isn't that what they should have suggested and estimated in the first place?
He's going to go back to the estimator and see what the cost would be now to replace it -- and see what kind of discount they might be able to provide since they already did this work. But I have to say that I'm really annoyed that I just paid to have someone do work that they felt needed to be thrown out soon anyway....
Any thoughts/suggestions welcome!
