It's a cedar shake roof. It needs full replacing with cedar shake. (tear off the old, put on the new) Regular shingles are not an option.
I don't know the pitch of the roof, but it's not steep. Open beam ceiling so there's no attic or insulation or anything to deal with.
Work will be limited to between 8am and 4-30pm every day (except weekends... no weekends) due to community regs. I don't expect it would take more than 5 days max to do the job. Sooner it's done, the sooner he can screw off on the beach for the rest of the week.
The weather is beautiful, as always. Sunny, 86 degrees, view of the ocean, beach across the street if it gets too hot. Water is 80 degree bath water and crystal blue. Waves are good.
Don't know the sq footage of the roof, but if I had to guess, I'd say approx. 2000 sq ft needs doing.
Job will pay approx $3k - $5k give or take, depending on experience and level of professionalism.
No, I can't do it myself. I'm a graphic artist, not a roofer. I have trouble changing lightbulbs.
