Ta-Da Moment! Roof is Finished

Ta Da!
Another Ta Da moment.

The roof is done. They tore off 5 layers of old shingles. They resheeted the entire roof with plywood underlay. They used 33 squares of onyx black architectural Owens Corning shingles. (In case you don't know....a square is equal to 100 square feet of roof.) They also put the rubber roof on the sunroom. All in all I believe I got a good deal for $10,230.

As an aside Rick rebuilt the front porch roof to line up with the sunroom and finished it with fascia to match the sunroom.
That cost a couple bucks extra and was not in the original job. I liked the result.
What I really liked about Rick the roofer was the fact that he did not ask for a dime up front. Is that not unheard of in today's world? He did not have me sign a contract either. He merely told me over the phone that he could do the job for around $10,200. I had not even met Rick in person before he began the job. He was recommended to me by the local home improvement store. On a nice sunny day he just showed up with his workers and started the job. Next week he will begin installing my windows for me. Rick is the man.
