I knew when I got this house the inspector said it would need a roof soon. I've been picking up pieces of shingles in the yard, and I can tell looking up at the roof that the cap of it needs replaced.
I thought I would have to tear the old one off due to too many layers of shingles, but I just looked at it and it looks like it's just a single layer.
Also, I have a brick missing at the top of my chimney, and should probably fix it so I don't have someone walking around on my new shingles.
When I was a kid, I helped my dad put new shingles on over the old ones. I don't remember much about it, except that I think I was just giving him the shingles to nail down.
A big problem for me as that the older I've gotten, the more I'm afraid of heights.
So, anyone here paid to have shingles put on, or put shingles on, to give me some advice on how much to expect to pay someone, or pointers if I did it myself??
Here's some pics. You can see where there is a brick missing in the last one.
