The house i am purchasing was built in 1991 and is in Jacksonville, FL. it is 1700 sq feet, one story, with a vaulted ceiling in the living room. The roof is asphalt shingle,15 years old now and in pretty good condition w/ no leaks but there are some repairs that need to be done, there are some small bald spots, a few puckering areas where they added a screened porch, and the home inspector reccomended the pvc gutters be replaced with metal ones. The siding is Lousianna-Pacific and there are some wood rot issues, especially around the bottom. I am curious how much it would be to replace it with hardi-board or cementious siding or aluminum. The rest that needs to be done to this house is not such a big deal. No lectures on why I’m buying this house please, I’ve got my reasons, too many to state here. I’d really appreciate any advice from roofers and or general contractors. Thank you!!
