It's a two story house, so there is no way I'm doing it. I'll ask my handman but I don't think it's his cup of tea.Jip, looks about right. Had a roof leak fixed recently, was 10k for one half, Not an entire house roof.
There is a lot of labour going into it. Just be weary of the pressure wash, not always but this can cause more leaks.
± 110m²It's a two story house, so there is no way I'm doing it. I'll ask my handman but I don't think it's his cup of tea.
How many square meters was yours?
This is 96m² so in the same ball park then. These people come recommended.± 110m²
Best get more than one quote from a few roofing companies. Don't ask your handyman. If a roofing business does it and something goes wrong, they have to fix it.
You do not want to pay for the handyman and then later have to pay again to fix it
We got a few quotes within a week.This is 96m² so in the same ball park then. These people come recommended.
Just trying to get someone out to do a quote takes weeks, so I don't want to delay, winter is coming...
This is Hermanus, not the city.We got a few quotes within a week.
Ask them for a completion date, you don't want them to putter around on your property for days
I've checked with a colleague that had thiers done recently. He also says the price is ok (actually a bit cheaper than they paid), so I'm going to go ahead.We got a few quotes within a week.

Quite a bit cheaper, like said ask for a completion date from the business if they can give you one.I've checked with a colleague that had thiers done recently. He also says the price is ok (actually a bit cheaper than they paid), so I'm going to go ahead.
They are in high demand, doubt they will be puttering about. Have asked for a start date obviously.Quite a bit cheaper, like said ask for a completion date from the business if they can give you one.
Going to split it into roof and walls. Had a lot of unexpected expenses the past few weeks: car window + rust, cat injury, replacing fireplace cowl and now the roof. Will do the walls next month or in June.Looks legit
R20k
Someone has to pay for that fancy double cab 4x4 of his

The quote for the walls is only 1/3 of the house that faces the sun, the rest is fine. Think the seller of this house in 2018 did a cheap job, bastard.
I'm looking at getting a flat in Melkbos, rates and levies is around R2,500 a month, not insignificant.Ouch
Joys of owning a house
Never again
So glad I bought an apartment in 2010.
My levies rakes care of everything and I never have to worry about unexpected costs
My levies is R1050 and my municipal bill each month is R220.I'm looking at getting a flat in Melkbos, rates and levies is around R2,500 a month, not insignificant.
Haven't you ever had special levies?
I don't want to live in a flat. I like living in a house. I am well aware there is always something that needs attention, part and parcel of owning a house.My levies is R1050 and my municipal bill each month is R220.
That takes care of my apartment on the outside, geyser inside, water, sewage, refuse, building insurance, armed response etc.
After owning a freestanding house from 2000 to 2010 I vowed never again
You can't do forging in a flat, or work on a project car...I don't want to live in a flat. I like living in a house. I am well aware there is always something that needs attention, part and parcel of owning a house.
I'm getting a flat in Melkbos for when I go for meetings in Cape Town or the odd weekend away from home. For that a flat, a so called lock up and go, is a must. No ways can I maintain two houses, just not worth the effort.You can't do forging in a flat, or work on a project car...
