We will have to buy it then get up there and see if it needs a new roof'.I would strongly suggest you determine if it needs a new roof BEFORE you buy the house and that you do a more thorough inspection to see if you will need to replace the decking.

Naturally they bid the job as one layer of shingles and no re-decking required (said they looked in the attic and didn't see any need for redecking).

Second, the kitchen in the rear allows easy access to the deck for grilling, etc.

We went out to a lot we are looking at in Capistrano Beach, as we wanted to know if there could be views from rooftop deck or if it would be a waste of money to do one.

One the deck which is in really bad shape, I want to replace it quick.

I assume in the absence of HOA, you are basically left working out a deal with your neighbors if a common area is in need of maintenance or repair (roof, common walls, deck, porch, fences, driveway, etc.).

Above the garage is the deck accessible from the kitchen.I am doing FHA finance with 3.5% ($4,550) down.

I have two more five bedrooms coming on board in about a week that will be $1400 and $1300 both totally remodeled one with walk out basement, ac, sprinklers, deck and 2 car garage.

It'd be nice to say I jumped right in at that point and am writing my intro from the deck of my summer beach house.

pouring a 12x8 concrete patio in back - currently it is a wood deck raised 4 inches off the ground under a covered porch.
