*What kind of siding?
Horizontal wood siding that was put on around 10 years ago.
The original plan was that the roofer would remove siding and then
put the ice and water shield up a foot, but he claims it can't be
done without cracking the siding, and says he is having trouble
locating matching siding material, and claims even if he does the
whole siding would need to be redone. There is a lower-level roof
where the roof meets the wall, and the same thing on the upper level,
so siding would've needed to be removed at the bottom of the lower
level wall as well as near the top of the wall, but not the very top.
Now he claims removing siding would add as much at $3800 to the job
because once he gets involved with removing siding he feels he would
have to remove all the siding and replace it with new siding, but
management doesn't want to do pay for this.
You mentioned that "management" made the decision, so I am guessing
that this is a condo owners or homeowners association and they are
responsible for the exterior of the building.
Is your condo the only one that has this ice dam problem, or are there
others that they are re-doing at the same time as yours?
