Anyone out there have experience re-roofing their house?
I helped my dad 10 years ago to re-roof his house and have a good basic understanding. I am looking for any gotchas or suggestions you may have from having done it yourself. I have a basic suburban house w/ 2 standard gabel roof sections. One over the garage and one over the rest of the house.
Planning on using ice and water shield on the first 3 feet and then 15# tarpaper over the deck and then 30 year asphalt architectural shingles.
Why you may ask? Because after pricing materials/tools etc. for me to do it w/ friends help, I come up w/ $2000 more in my wallet than if I pay any of the 3 contractor bids I received.
Looking for any and all suggestions or comments you may have for a guy heading into this project.
Thanks a lot,
Linc
