Is $3,000 to repair a roof leak near the chimney a fair price?
Project Details
My roof is leaking near the chimney, and the quoted price of just under $3000 would be a huge hit to my savings, especially since I only make $750/week. I'm trying to manage this within my budget. I was initially unsure if the rusted panels needed to be replaced, as their length made them seem intimidating to maneuver myself. The roofer mentioned he dislikes working on metal roofs and that this job would take a full day for him and his crew. I am now considering tackling this repair myself by touching up the rust instead of replacing the panels, and I also plan to call other companies for additional quotes.
