Front part of new house needs roof installed. I have some trusses left that was also used in back part of house that is already installed. Approximately m2 left to be done right away. I have all the tiles already. House is in Mooivallei Park Potch. I need a roofing carpenter to ensure the job is done right. Additional m2 roof will be needed on second level but not urgent right now.
We are in the process of purchasing a home and from the engineers inspection, it looks like we may need a roof replacement/repair as the clay tiles are old. The structure is still in tact. I'd like to get a quote to understand potential future costs in the next couple of years. I would prefer contact via email or whatsapp. Thanks!
The roof leaks when it's raining but the exact points of leaks are uncertain since half of the house has an installed ceiling. The main objective is to find the exact leaking points and repair them and recommend any improvements on the roof. The plan area of the roof is approximately square metres. The style of roof is scotch. The location of the house is in Boschfontein, Nkomazi Local Municipality.
1 Main bedroom (3 walls and 1 wall with window). 3 standard bedrooms (2 walls, 1 wall with window and 1 with wardrobes). Passage both sides. Living room (3 walls and one with sliding door). Reception room (3 walls and one with double window). Dining room (3 walls and 1 with window). Study room the size of a single garage (3 walls and 1 with window). Ceilings fir all those rooms. Ceiling needs some fixing. I need an estimate quote. Most of the walls are currently Grey and need to paint them cream or a homely color. Need quote to include the cost of the paint.
The roof needs to be checked on the main house, the tiles are very old and may need to be replaced , also the flat roof needs to be redone as the tiles are old and broken, also the roof trusses needs to be checked for damage and repaired/replaced if needed, also the garage roof needs to be repaired(metal sheeting)
Our holiday home at 9 Sydney St, Plettenberg Bay, has an old roof with fibre cement roof sheeting. This is old and breaking up with new cracks and leaks appearing from time to time. We need advice on the options and prices to replace the roof. I will be in Plett from 23 Jan for 3 weeks and you will be able to meet with me, view the roof and suggest alternatives with prices during this time.
I would like to build a temple.. basically new structure needs to go up. An old building needs to be demolished and then reset the foundation and put up new walling or pillars/polling. Then ofcourse a roof. I was thinking thatch. Although, out last roof was thatch and it got burnt. Also, I need to know the difference in costs with different roofing structure and pros and cons over time... Im overseeing this and doing some research, please get back to me asap. We need to start this project.
