I’m paying a roofing company $5000 to do my roof. Do you tip the guys on top of that? If so, how much?

herts roof repair

My wife and I went house hunting today.

She really fell in love with a manufactured ranch. It is newer (was built in 2001) but it appears to have major problems. There are stains on the ceiling – it appears that the roof may be leaking. When I went into the basement it was flooded in ankle-deep water.

I spoke to a roofer today who said that a good roof should last 15 to 30 years depending on the quality of the installation and shingles. He also said it isn’t uncommon for basements to sometimes have leaks, but that it certainly isn’t normal for a basement to have ankle deep water.

Is this typical for manufactured homes, is it common to see half-@ss workmanship like this? Or is this one just a lemon?

PS – Its not a cheap manufactured home either. It is actually more expensive than most of the stick homes we’ve been looking at.
