For nearly more than nine years, I resisted putting a current roof on our house.
- Because of the age of the home plus many layers plus patches to the roof, every one of us needed to completely tear it off plus replace.
The apartment is severely giant plus the roof steeply pitched, making the project labor-intensive plus costly. Every time it rained, our husband plus I ran around placing buckets plus pots under the drips. All of us realized that the moisture was steadily causing destruction to the structure of the house. All of us had stains forming on the ceilings in certain rooms. After every windstorm, I’d found stray shingles in the sod. All of us finally took out a home improvement loan plus hired a roofing corporation. They started the job in early August, when the outside temperature was in the upper eighties with high humidity. Since our apartment was open to the elements, every one of us couldn’t operate the air conditioning system. All of us lived with an boiling, sticky plus dirty house. There was constant dust, bugs plus noise. The roofing corporations began certainly early in the morning plus trampled our gardens. I couldn’t wait for them to finish up. I assumed it would take the air conditioning system a long time to cool down the apartment plus expected to face an severely high energy bill. I was surprised when every room was perfectly cool within an eighth. Since replacing the roof, the apartment is so much more comfortable. There’s less temperature stratification plus inconsistency between rooms. Both the oil furnace plus air conditioning system run less often, plus I’m saving a significant amount on lower energy bills. I’ve even noticed an improvement in the cleanliness plus air quality of our living environment. I now wish we’d replaced the roof years earlier.
