Okay, picture this: you've finally decided to fix that leaky roof, signed the contract, everything's good to go. Then halfway through, your roofer casually mentions that "surprise" issue they found and now it's gonna cost you extra. Um, what? Happened to my cousin last summer... turned into a whole thing. Curious if anyone else had a similar experience or how you'd handle it.
Yeah, that sounds frustrating... but honestly, sometimes roofers genuinely can't see the full extent of damage until they're already working. Happened to me onceβturned out the wood underneath was rotted way worse than expected. But here's a thought: investing in a green roof can actually prevent these surprise issues down the line. They're durable, eco-friendly, and protect your roof structure better long-term. Might seem pricier upfront, but saves headaches (and cash) later on. Just something to consider before your next roofing adventure gets complicated.
Green roofs are great in theory, but they're not always practical for everyone. They need specific structural support and regular maintenance... plus, depending on your climate, they might not hold up as well as traditional roofing. Definitely worth researching thoroughly before diving in.
