Ruth asked:

to put on a new roof and then require you to pay 1/2 the fee up front and they never show up to do the work?
We noticed he is not in any phone book or on the internet.
Could this be a scam just to get our money without planning on doing the work?

How much would it cost to frame a door?

eyedoc999 asked:

I live in Amarillo, TX– the closest larger city is ABQ, NM. I want to cut an outside door where an existing window is now. The door will exit my bedroom and enter onto a flat roof where I want to build a deck. Can any of you give me a guestimate on how much it would cost to cut the door, rip out the window, frame the door, install a door (excluding the price of the door), and repairing any damaged drywall. I will paint the drywall, and hang the door.

Also, is there anything I need to know to make this job less expensive? For example, would a certain sized door, or type of door make it less expensive?

chand c asked:

I’m an expatriate trying to make both ends meet in a a booming Arabian Gulf stae. My state, country was peaceful, but over a period of three to four years all thing have gone crazy in terms of inflation, especially rents have become unaffordable, despite the fact that the only businees you will see here is real estate and a sea of buildings around you. If you have experinced the same situation, how did you deal with it? What is the way out? Will the construction boom subside one day or I have to make a move and return to my own country?

Please Help! Roofer/contractor’s opinions needed?

judyblue_pa asked:

I have a ranch home with a section of an “added-on” garage with a flat roof that needs repair.

I have gotten several estimates to have the entire roof done. Rip up the old shingles and replace ice guard and what ever else they do.

The last guy that gave me an estimate states that I dont need to rip up the old shingles on the whole house. Repair and replace the flat roof the rest of it just put new shingles on.

Is this wise? It’s certainly cheaper and will look just as nice when finished? I need help please!!!

How can I raise my flat top roof?

Bryan K asked:

My house has a large flat top roof, I would like to raise it in the middle of the family room to add some small windows and make the roof feel larger. Is this easy and can I do it myself? There are no load bearing beams in the way and the majority of the roof is held up by large steel beams that do not intersect the area I wish to raise.

I was hoping I could just build another flat top roof about 2′ above the existing roof. Anyone try this?
