New Roof
We are having a general meeting tonight with our strata to select one of the options to have our roof repaired. That means that some $$$$ will have to go towards that from anybody who owns a condo in the building. When we bought, we expected that the roof would last for at least another two years. Apparently, that’s not the case.
The two most promising options are:- A full new roof (pretty expensive)
- Use a new technology to seal and protect the current roof (about half the price of the above)
The more expensive version uses proven technology and should result in a roof that lasts about 30+ years. The more affordable variant uses new technology and is supposed to last about 15 years. The only problem: it hasn’t been around for 15 years yet, so nobody knows for sure.
We’ll see what happens tonight.
Update: Looks like the “cheaper” roof type has been around for more than 15 years. The decision was unanimous: we are going with this variant.
