with flat roofs and balcony are located to the west and east of the principle building. To the west of the property is a detached garage with hipped tile roof in matching design.

Proposal:

It has been a large task in the past few years for the owner to source for the replacement tiles and for a contractor to do the work in Windsor. Hiring somebody locally with the skills was very difficult. Even out of town trades was hard to find and adds to the cost. Further, there would be the issue of having reliable follow-up work should future repairs or warranty need to come into play. After much challenge and research, Owner is looking to present two Options for consideration.

Option One- Retain Clay Tile Roof with Heritage Financial Support

The owner’s preference is for local contractor Dayus Roofing. Dayus roofing has experience with roofing for heritage properties and is keen to take on this project. The clay tile are separate orders (discussed later in the report). The Dayus quote includes repair of the roof of principal dwelling and garage, the repair in-kind of rotten wood siding in areas around the dormers. Work would reuse existing tiles but replace as necessary broken tiles, and replace with the new matching tile. The three front dormers are quoted for with custom bent round copper on the top, which would provide longevity, while the larger rear dormer, and side porches would be replaced with a new TPO flat roofing system, aluminum fasica and eavestough. The garage is in need of more repairs as the rear portion of tiles are slipping. The quote includes structural repair as needed, with new underlayment strapping, removal and sealing of the tipping chimney, and reinstallation of tiles, and for repair of damaged tiles along hip/ridge line of garage. Other works includes additional inspections and repairs at the upper north east slope and installation of the new eavestrough system on the principal dwelling. A separate option is provided if the existing integral eavestrough system is retained and repaired.

View of front arched dormers and rear shed dormer

The Owner also received another repair quote from Andrew Johnstone, who is an out-of-town contractor, at $28, 250. This quote only includes the repair of the main roof and the 3 front and 1 rear dormer, but does not include any of the other necessary repairs. The owner states the disadvantages of this quote because it does not guarantee any of the clay tile roof repair, and offers lower quality material for the dormer repairs. A separate quote was also given for the entire re-roofing, including installation of new roof underlayment membrane and strapping, and replacement/installation of all tiles and
