    We need a new roof :(

    The house we are in is only 12 yrs old, and we recently found out, that there is a class action law suit involving the shingles used on the house....since then we've developed a couple of leaks in the house...Been agonizing for months over how to come up with $7,000 for a new roof.

    On a whim I called our insurance company and asked for someone to come and look at our roof as we have noticed a few leaks in the house. Was not real hopeful, as it was defective shingles.

    Received a check on Friday for a FULL roof replacement, plus money to put towards fixing the ceiling where the leaks are!!!!!

    His report showed there was hail damage (from when I don't know, have not had hail since we lived here). I am so, so grateful!

    That is great. We had some bad storms come through our area a few weeks ago that blew shingles off my sis house and they called the insurance. They ended up putting a new roof on their house too. They put metal on this time.

    That was good news....glad it happened that way.

    I have been doing some pricing on a new roof am thinking
    of going with metal.
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    We priced metal roofing as well...had 2 bids....they both came back for about $16,000!!!! Unfortunately, we won't be doing that this time around.

    That's terrific news! We had the same thing happen and our insurance company paid in full for a new roof due to hail damage. And I know exactly when it happened, that storm was CRAZY!
