Whole roof was done. Tear off and reshinglewith 30 yr architrchual i had 3 tabs prior. All drip edge was reused. Ice dam stuff for one row on end I think and in valley. Have 2 semi flat spots between two peaks that have commercial rubber on them..they put new rubber there. Also did my well house. Cut in a new ridge vent all new flashing, new boots I had at least 4 and put in 3 roof type vent things so I can vent my bath exhaust through them. I think only like 2-3 boards were replaced. Some were just broken or missing pieces from where they broke where a bad knot was...so they put a new board I. So a nail would hit something if it fell there. Roof deck was really great shape. I dont remember policy wording. My roof had like 90% of its like gone though. It was my neighbors mothers house and they know it was at least 20 yrs old. I dont remember the squares used I can figure it out though. I have a 3000sqft 2.5 story house though. It was around $8k for it all though.
Costing us a little over $300 a square for an overlay over asbestos shingle, which is the reason we're not doing a tear-off - cost was astronomical to remove. Bituthene will be the underlayment with architectural shingle on top. Range of quotes per square was wide, from $200 a square to over $900. Home Depot quoted us $14,000 just for decking. Crazy.
Yes, still fairly common to see in this area. As I understand it, non-friable and low content asbestos. Should also clarify that the high quotes I mentioned above were for plywood over the entire roof. Did get really high quotes just for overlaying though.
Another layer of plywood and shingles would add quite a bit of weight...I would have an engineer approve this. I must be getting old, that sounds pitiful!!
Thanks guys - ended up going with just ice/water shield and architectural shingles because of concerns about the weight with the plywood. Didn't mean to hijack this thread and make it about my roof, not the OP's.
That depends on the policy. My home is a hundred years older and there are two wordings in the policy... The have the standard replacement valuation where they use there calculator to figure the cost to replace the entire structure with a new home of similar amenities and size but built with modern materials and methods. However, because of the age of the home, they add an extended coverage amount to cover the cost of partial repairs with historically sympathetic methods or some such language. (Ie if we have partial fire damage to the house that requires say roofing, siding, interior reconstruction but the frame is not completely trashed, they would pay for the extra cost of a specialist to evaluate and repair the timber frame)
