FAQ

So we really need new windows, a new roof, new appliances, and want to redo the bathroom. Obviously windows and roof are more important then the other two! I think we will be getting back a decent return (a minimum of 6500) and we will be doing all the work ourselves. Haven't looked into how much the materials are going to cost yet but since we are doing everything ourselves I think we might be able to get windows and a roof and maybe even have some left over to do something else. Not sure though. So what should we do out of the things listed?

Depending on how bad the roof is, I would opt to do the windows first. This will save you money on a monthly basis year round and will help you get to those other things quicker.

I can't afford much more than a house that needs work. Not afraid of that at all, except windows and roof. What kind of prices should I expect if I want replacement windows or roof repairs. I don't want a get down estimate, I don't own a house yet. Just want an idea what other peeps have paid so I know if I'm making a bad decision or not. Thanks!

Not to scare you but I paid $2500 for windows and $5400 for a metal roof....remember a house is a money pit

I was wondering what year range these houses were built. The house is large, three floors, with small rectangular(horizontal) windows that line the very top floor right under the beginning of the roof. Also has columns in the front porch. The house was built with a barn behind it as well. What year approx. would a style like this have been built? im guessing 1800's but early or late?

Hi Sara, You might want to research Greek Revival Homes ( 1850s to 1900's) Greek Revival has columns as you stated. But also check into the early Victorian era. As time passes through the history of the owners,modifications were made along the way to the extent of what they needed.Also check at the roof line for details shown with Greek Revival for wood trim and the way to which it follows the structure.I think what you are describing is Greek Revival.

in the window. Not once.. but several times per day for several days.. Hmmm.He needs a doctor... and not a vet type.

Nah, he's fine. He just knows who the enemy is and its himself!

Flat roof bay window, water leaking in through to the lounge. There is what looks like a drain hole in the lead on the roof...and water has collected on the roof before now. It seems there might be a blockage with this hole..Just wondering how big a job it is and if my insurance will cover it????

Sonds like the scuptor (drainhole is clogged. Try a garden hose with a strait nozzle aatached. Chek your flashing where the roof meets the adjoining roof, Most roof leaks are flasing around vents, chimneys ect. Flat roofs are trouble from the get go. The insurance will mot likely cover it- but you have a 500 or 1000 dollar deductable and they will possibly raise your rate or worse. job sholdn't cost that much so think twice. Best Rj

The ceiling is too high housing space is too high, open; ceiling is too low, curtains can not hang. More

What is the length and breadth of the room?

Ok, I will see if I can give enough details for this to make sense. I live in a three level split. The kitchen is in the front. We have a bay window (without the seat) on the front wall of the house. We just purchased the house about a month ago, and recently noticed some water damage around the window. Now the roof does come out about a roof farther than the window. Could this water damage be from a bad roof or does it sounds like a window issue? There is zero damage anywhere else and unfortunately there is no way to get in the area above the trouble spot. I really don't want to spend $5000 on a new roof it isnt' the problem. We do know at one point there was an ice dam but that had been fixed. Can anyone give some insight??

Unless there are missing shingles or holes in the roof, it probably isn't the roof per se. Bay windows are notorious for leaks. Check flashing around the window. Make sure your gutters are clean. The 1st place to check is blowing rain hitting the window. The easiest way to check this is with a garden hose (this way you control how much it rains!) until you find the problem.

Would you rather bang your head on the glass window hard or jump from your roof landing on a bunch of nails?

Banging ur head against glass = BRAIN DAMAGE (POSSIBILITY) 2nd choicee , lol
