Nine hours. Nine cold, snowy, cold, long hours.

That’s how long it took me to repair a leak in the roof. A lot of people told me I should have just hired a good Roofing Company for the job, and I’m starting to think that they were right. The sad part was that I was planning on having it done in five hours…. sigh.

The good news is that I learned how to repair a roof leak.

Kind of.

The “roof leak” wasn’t really a “leak” – well, technically, it was on the roof and it did leak – but it wasn’t like a “real leak”. Long story short, we are on the lookout for a new roof, but we will have to find a Demolition Sydney service to remove the exisiting roof first.

This “fake” leak was a portion of the roof that did not get shingled when the house was build. As such, it was really easy to find and decently easy to repair. If the job had been a bit more complicated I would have strongly considered bringing forward our plans to renovate the roof. I had already found the ideal contractors by searching roofing Roanoke online.

“Decently easy” is a nice way of saying that “I ripped out and replaced the plywood; tarred the heck out of the wood, metal, shingles and anything else in the way.”

Now that I know how to do it, if it ever happens again I’ll be able to resolve the issue. However, spending nine hours up on the roof again doesn’t sound ideal to me, especially in bad weather conditions…maybe I’ll just contact a roofing contractor like Bordner Home Improvement if there is a next time!

Now if only I can find the “real leak” by the skylight… the one with the shingles and stuff.
