Is $3,800 to repair termite damage and structural issues a fair price?
Project Details
I have a 1950s bungalow and discovered serious termite damage under the roof sheathing after finding loose roof tiles. I had saved $1,500 for new gutters, which is now being diverted to these emergency repairs, likely delaying the gutter project. I'm handling attic insulation and window trim replacement myself to cut costs. I'm considering financing the roof and treatment but want to avoid added interest.
