I delayed my reroof job by buying and using a 5 gallon can of roof
cement that cost me $20. I used about 3 gallons of it and after a
September storm caused a leak I couldn't figure out how to stop, I set a
date with a roofing company. I just couldn't imagine where I'd put
cement to stop that leak. I wanted to wait for spring. A foundation
contractor told me he thought the cost of materials would go way up by
spring, so I figured stop the leak or not, it was time to have the roof
done ASAP. The job was long overdue, and it's done now.
