When I came back from the grocery store this morning, somebody was on top of our roof.
It was the maintenance guy that our realtor send to fix our roof. I was surprised on how quickly the realtor could arrange somebody to fix it this time. It usually takes more than one week after we request any service. I requested just yesterday. Maybe the realtor considered the roof repair as a priority high issue. I am glad she did so.
I was hoping the realtor would convince the owner into replacing the entire roof. The majority of our neighbors have already renewed their roof to a brand new one. Our house was built in 2002 so the house is 17 years old. I believe it is about time for this house to be needed to exchange the old roof to a new one. Our roof has been exposed under the very strong Arizona sun anyway.
My husband knew better than I did. He said the owner would be reluctant to replace the roof to a new one, because it will cost around $5,000. He thought they would decide to fix the stripped shingles only. They want to survive with patching up.
He was right.
The maintenance guy just patched up the stripped part only, not replacing the entire roof. What made me startled was that he didn’t even bring any new shingles. He used the old ones, the ones fell down on the ground, to put them back to the original place.
I am disappointed for their decision of not replacing the entire roof. That being said, I understand the owner is reluctant to pay any unexpected expenditure, especially for the house where they don’t live in.
Anyhow, our roof was patched up and it was quickly taken care of. I am happy for that.
