We moved into this place Memorial Weekend 2010. A terrible hail storm happened June 15, 2010. I heard it was 2 1/4 inch hail stones. Big! We were out of town at the parents for the weekend so we didn’t witness it. And once we got home, no damage was visible.
Well, fast forward about four months past that and we found out from our former neighbor that every house on our street at the Walton House was getting their roof replaced due to the hail damage from that storm. We had a contractor come out and take a look and also asked him to take a look at our Rosie house. We didn’t really think there was damage, but some of our neighbors in the Rosie neighborhood were getting new roofs, so maybe we should have it looked at.
Oh yeah, we ended up needing one at the Rosie house, but not the Walton. Maybe the damage at Walton was limited since we had just replaced the older half of the Walton house roof in May 2010, and yes, out of pocket as luck would have it. Of course.
Well, we had quite a run-around getting things lined up between the contractor and State Farm with disputes over what type of shingles the original roof had and them being heavier, more expensive than the typical shingle and on and on, but finally fifteen months after the storm, we got a new roof.
A crew of siete was here for fourteen hours one 100 degree August day and a few more hours the next day to finish up. The pitch is super steep, it was blazingly hot, but they got it done and I think it looks good.
And I was the sole color picker on that one. Autumn Blend, the shingle was called. Tune in next time to see just how serendipitous that choice was.
Good color choice!
