1994? So maybe 14k for the same job today.

i'm in denial..I'm puttting away 500/mth for 2 years...that's about all i
can spare. i guess i'll have to dip into savings to pay the difference.

Naw, it wont be that bad unless you have left it too long and it's as
swaybacked as a camel (structural damage). Have it estimated by a few
companies and be sure they include cost of plywood replacement (labor and
material) by the sheet as once they pull it off, they may find some and you
dont want to find out *then* they are the most expensive company in town.

A reputable repair roofer will have this in the estimate automatically. If
i recall right, mine was 70$ a panel and 150$ each for labor to replace it.


That's better than a license to print money!

the RETAIL price of that plywood at a place like Home Depot is about
$12-15 a sheet. Pulling the old sheet and putting down the new one?
Maybe a half hour if you aren't in a hurry.
