Did I get ripped off for roof repairs?
On a Tuesday morning I found a stain on a bedroom ceiling, indicating there was a leak in my roof somewhere. The weather forecast for Wed said torrential rains were coming so I went to the first contractor I found. The worker walked around on the side of the roof where the leak was found, hammered a few nails, sealed down some shingles, caulked a few areas and left with $450 of my money. Did I get ripped off, or because it was short notice and in light of the impending bad weather, was this cost justified in any way? (The contractor told me to mix equal parts water and bleach in a spray bottle, spray this on the ceiling stain and when the stained section matches the rest of the ceiling, to stop. At that point, I'm to keep an eye on that spot to be sure the stain doesn't reappear.) So, what do you think - I'm a widow and don't have all the knowledge I should, but I sure hate to get "taken". At this point, it'll just be a lesson learned, but at least I'll know better next time!
450 bucks seems a bit much for what you've discribed...however, .. [there are 2 views to this..] IF the man's 'experiance' has solved the problem, prevents further leakage, saves you haveing to replace or do a substancial 'patch-works', and identified and repaired the problem....he has been well payed.
On the other hand, if your roof is in need of replacement, if it has out lived it's factory designated durrability, and you have expectation that postponeing the inevitable with supperfical attention.., ... ... well.... you get what you pay for.
