My neighbor came over the other day and trimmed the branches that were overhanging my roof and ruining the shingles. He has a pole trimmer with an extension that could reach. This had to be done before the guys came to do our roof and i didn’t have the equipment. Thanks neighbor!
Also, one of the guys from church came by to measure the roof. He is a builder and does remodeling projects. He says that our roof is pretty simple and that the church crew should be able to do our house in a day. It looks like they may do it in October (they want cooler weather!). He also brought by some shingle samples – 30 year architectural shingles. They looked great! We are going with a variegated brown shingle that has some hints of red. I say we – my wife picked it out!
We are pretty excited. We have hated the shingles on our roof since we moved in 7 years ago, but couldn’t justify the cost of replacing. The green shingles do not match the rest of the house, but of course that was par for the course for this house (the paint colors or wallpaper didn’t match either!).
I can’t wait to see the new roof!
