[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just bought a new house. Home inspection turned up some issues with roof in front area that has a flatter slope than the rest. Roof inspection recommended repair to that same area and some ridge caps, about 4k. Second roofing estimate said there are 3-5 years left and recommended replacing whole roof. Awaiting estimate and will be getting a third estimate this week. The complication is that the old gutters desperately need to be replaced and it's hard to remove them without damaging the roof. Would you just get a new roof at this point, before moving in, or wait it out?[/quote] Depends. Hows your HHI? Is it 'Romney's my bitch' high? If so, just do it now. If not I'd wait. Reason for that is that first year will hit your wallet like a mofo in a new home. The roof is just what you know about. Just you wait until you get in there and discover the 30 other problems in the house. If one can be deferred, defer it. [/quote]
