The lack of required education and certifications enables anyone to hang a shingle and begin providing services even though they are not qualified to do so.

Most loan types require that a shingle roof have at least 5 years left on it.

Been in commercial construction, operations, and management his whole life and moved back up there last year to hang his own shingle (and hunt, and fish, and boat, and snow mobile

He could buy enough shingles to get them at a discount, and he would save on having to deal with moving a crew around etc.

I have a dispute over a roof replacement job in Elkhart, Indiana in that the roofer didn't obtain code of compliance as the inspector was unable to verify a couple of things about the roof because the roofer didn't organise time with the inspector before the shingles were put down.I am looking for a local attorney in Elkhart who understands such issues to help me out here.

The property is an old farmhouse the seller has completely rehabbed it himself (gutted & added new spray insulation, new electric, all new plumbing, fresh sheet rock & paint, all new windows (cheaper Andersons double pane), brand new fiber-cement siding, 13 yr old shingles, appliances approx 5 yrs old (beautiful stainless in lower unit).

7. are there asbestos shingles?

.#3 Contact Local Contractors for PricingCall local Subcontractors and get budget pricing for common repairs on your typical rehab project.For example, call a roofer and ask what their average cost per Square of Architectural Asphalt Shingle Roofing would be on a 1,500 sf house, with a 6/12 pitch.Note: Some contractors will be reluctant to share pricing without seeing the property, but tell them you are just looking for a rough budget number you can use on future projects.#4 Compile Your Prices into a Spreadsheet or Estimating SoftwareOnce you start to get a better understanding of Labor and Material costs you will want to store this data into a spreadsheet or software that you can use to help you streamline the estimating process.The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs comes with a spreadsheet that you can use to help you populate your own database of labor pricing and material pricing.

One section of my building needs to have the shingles replaced and I will be using a contractor to do that job (due to the height of the roof).

My budget for purchasing homes is $20,000 each including the moving expense if possible, this is the top price I will pay and only vinyl siding and shingle roof will do, also it must come with central heat & a/c and appliances.
