So the guy said:
"Do you have any local trades? Masons, framer, roofer? That’d be the cheapest. Just some quick math puts the framing and roof at $50k ballpark. What is your budget?"
My math was:
$3,500 for new trusses (priced 20' trusses online.
$3,200 for sheathing plywood
$6,000 for roofing
$500 for block
$unknown mortar
$1,500 garage door
Unknown is demo and removal of old roof and ceiling.
My math is $14,700 for materials. I thought the first guy just quoted $50k because he didn't want to do it.
It's really looking like the only way that roof is getting raised is if I do it myself.
Removing the building would clearly be costly. Strangely enough the 1st guy said it would cost $4,000 to re-shingle the roof, which I thought was actually cheap. Fortunately the roof doesn't seem to be leaking anywhere.
I'm really getting the idea that I'm going to have to have a garage built. Probably 24x30 metal garage.
