| 2009-09-17 | Mike | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for a lenghty answer that looked at various options. I'm still not sure of the path to take. I have gotten a different crew from the same contractor to come to patch the roof....hopefully more skilled! Thanks again for your insight. |

| 2009-09-03 | Daran | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Ron, thank you for a quick response. I know it is a difficult question to answer without seeing the roof. I feel I have more knowledge with which to approach the contractor. Thanks for offering your services to this site. Daran |

His first responsibility on his contract is using drop cloths, so I should be covered. One more repair on the way this summer!! |

| 2009-07-08 | Tom | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | hi Ron, I thought so, but I wanted to be sure about the weaving. It is a right angle between the sloping roof and the dormer wall, so I want aluminum flashing there on top of the deck. Thanks |
