Is $8,500 to install new roof with proper ventilation a fair price?
Project Details
Homeowner with a 1950s colonial in zone 6b dealing with persistent rodent issues in the attic. After a roof replacement and chimney repointing, gaps were discovered between the fascia boards and drip edge. Previous attempts to seal the fascia with metal and caulk were unsuccessful due to a 2-inch roof overhang preventing a flush seal.
