Default Cheap roof repair
Why replace the entire roof field, just replace the ones that are leaking.

Can you believe this idiot homeowner replaced small portions of this roof field? The entire roof is obviously in need of immediate replacement, but he believes that patching it will save him money on the sale. Get REAL.

With those patches, the roof should last another hour.

Probably a good thing for the buyer that he didn't tackle the whole thing.

No...there's nothing wrong at all, according to the Seller.

Simply patch the obvious leaks, the inspector will never know that the roof was leaking. Don't worry about the other crumbling shingles.

C'mon now Bruce. Don't kill the deal.

At least they made an attempt to help her out.

Heck, why waste the money replacing anything? After all, the interior damage has already been done. Besides, its not like its going to rain every day.
