I am ready to discuss all these things with you in great depth. Roofing in particular..what a GD ripoff that is. In my neighbourhood, roofers like to push what I think of as "devil horn" venting for your roof. Now, this may be needed on some houses or maybe you can just achieve the same affect with a ridge vent and a few additional smaller vents. The roofers like to push them as a special high end accessory that will vent your attic like nothing else! Ha! End result. Roofer gets rich. Homeowner has crooked horns on roof. I'm so happy we didn't get these but I see them on all the homes around me!<br/><br/>As for new home cost versus existing home renovation, obviously I am with existing home renovation. If you do it right and price things carefully you are further ahead. It's just too bad you need contractors in both cases. Replacing roof, furnace, hot water heater, AC, appliances.
