My goal for this property was to do some exterior cosmetic improvements, including a new roof because my insurance company was being extremely picky about seeing some "loose grit" on the shingles.

For example, had a large tree branch knock off some shingles and mess up a gutter during a storm.

Roof could be OK, once the moss is cleared you can walk it and look at the shape of the shingles.

I have a small rental in the East Valley that I need to replace the shingle roof.

It's a lot easier than it seems in today's computerized world to catch fraud.

The inspector required the wall to extend through the attic to the sub roof (basically to the shingles).  

He plans to repair only the damaged portion of the roof and match shingles, for a total of $34,000, which includes tree removal and roof tarping.I received a $5,500 written quote from a tree company, and that’s the amount I approved for the removal of the branch.

This includes framing lumber and labor.Roofing installation (such as asphalt shingles, metal panels, or EPDM rubber) typically costs $8 to $15 per square foot, adding another $600 (Shingle) to $1,125 (EPDM) depending on the material.Guard rail replacement, assuming 5+15+5= 25 linear feet of railing, can cost between $1,250 and $3,000 depending on the material (wood is usually less expensive; metal, cable, or composite cost more).If you’re using standard materials like pressure-treated wood and asphalt shingles, you’re likely to stay on the lower end of that range.
