89 quake was something i was in Palo Alto right on the fault..

Another good place to buy metal paints is from a wrought iron supplier.

Should it be something wrought iron?  

Forgive me, I am not familiar with timberline roofing material, but composition shingle, 30 year roofing with old removal and haul, flashings, etc. on 1900 square feet of material should not exceed $7k unless you select a much higher grade shingle or you have to replace a lot of plywood.I just completed a re-roof job which included stripping old shingles, new flashings, Replacing about 1/2 of the facia boards that had dry wrought and repairing some plywood under the AC unit that leaked through the roof for $6,500 and I could have got it for less.

Back in 1994, the Northridge quake sent people running for a new State to live in in fear of the shaking.

Myself, coming from an carpenter/metal working background, also like some of the more "new school" construction w/ exposed timbers and black iron bracketry, especially w/ wrought iron stairs, rails, and natural stone.

Some houses around my area have the wrought iron that actually supports the porch roof; if you have that scenario, be very careful if dismantling the wrought iron ...

I installed ornate wrought iron storm doors on of my rental homes.

The right contractor makes all the difference.If the property needs corrected health and safety items such as replaced gutters or repaired dry wrought it’s because a trained construction expert or appraiser knows it’s necessary to protect the buyer’s and lender’s interest.It’s no more difficult for the borrower to qualify for a 203k loan either, it’s an FHA loan.Any Realtor who says you can’t use a 203k to buy a short sale is wrong.Like most Realtors, they don’t understand the loan so they stay away from it and tell their clients the same.This is a shame since there are 203k classes out there for Realtors to learn how it works, I teach one.

We replaced the door and also put up a wrought iron security door on both the front and the back doors.
