We knew our roof was getting old; My associate Max and I had been in the apartment for 12 years, but the apartment was almost 35 years old.
Max and I had suspected that it hadn’t been upgraded in almost 35 years, then when the roofers showed up, they did an inspection of the whole roof plus told Max the roof needed upgraded, but so did the skylight, but there were a few water marks in the skylight, plus he showed us where the water was coming in around the trim, however he told Max that by replacing the roof plus skylight, Max and I would also save money on our Heating plus A/C usage; If there was rain or water coming in through the skylight, there had to be heat loss in the same area… Since Max and I called the roofers because of a leak in the attic, my pal and I were easily losing heat through the attic.
It wasn’t just the leak in the roof plus skylight where my pal and I were losing heat, but the insulation was shot. Max and I knew that my pal and I could not afford to lose heat through a faulty roof plus skylight… After $15,000 for a more current roof plus skylight, Max and I realized how right the roofers were… Our energy bills went down this winter by over 40%, our furnace didn’t run as long, plus our apartment was warmer than it had been in several years. I thought the roofers were just looking to add as much as they could to their bottom line, plus I am sure I owe them an apology. Our roof was just far too outdated to stop the heat from escaping our house. I’m cheerful Max and I could have the roof repaired plus save heating at the same time.
