I have a shingle roof that has 3 areas of repair needed. A roofing
contractor looked at it and told me this. His company only does new
roofs and he said I didn't need a new roof, only repair.

He also said that it's one sheet in two of the places and 3 to 5
sheets in the other place. So it would be 7 sheets total repair.

My roof is pitched from 10 feet to 8 feet high in 12 feet of length.

I'm told it's got 3/8 particle board with shingles.

I'm trying to get an approximate cost per/sheet of repair. I'm told
that's how it's priced.

The board right under the roof that is a 1/2 inch by 4 and runs around
the entire house also needs repair in about 20 feet of length.

I've just put out a bid for the repair, and I'm trying to get an idea
of what the cost might be for the entire repair. Just a ballpark idea
so that I know what "window" of price to expect.

Thanks for any help offered.

Just an update on the repairs.

They did the job in one long day from 8am to 10pm, Wednesday.

The work was exceptionally well done and will resolve all the
problems.

The total final price was $1,700 USD.

I'm very, very happy with the work.

They ended up using brand new tiles around the 3 foot strip on the two
sides and front, but the manner they used to interweave them with the
old made a very nice looking pattern. I'm proud of them for doing such
a good job at such a reasonable price.

NO MORE LEAKS !!!!
