That’s beautiful!
Perfect choice

Thanks everyone for the information and encouragement. I applies Wednesday, and heard back Friday that I was approved. They even give you a list of potential contractors that are qualified to do the work. Living in Massachusetts the bureaucracy is daunting I would never have got this done this quickly and efficiently. Everything was straight forward,
Thank you

I picked out designer shingles that were a bit more expensive and the roofer had to order them ...but that was okay given the grant reimbursement....I wanted what I wanted since it is a one time shot).

I'm usually not a fan of blue shingles, but those DO look good.

Yeah, building supply houses don't stock the blue hues. A co-worker has blue on his house. When he built his detached garage he wanted the same shingle on it (of course). IIRC he had to wait 3-4 months to get 'em.

Looks great. It takes a bit of hot sun to get them to seal tight. Fingers crossed!

Yup, Bent. I didn't want to alarm you but it takes about two weeks of warm sunny days for the shingles to relax and seal. I have the GAF Timberline architectural shingles and I love the look. They are heavy and have a 40 year warranty.

Make sure they leave a few sheaves of shingles when they are done. The corners get picked up pretty good down here from the nor easters and you end up replacing a few every year.

Ok more questions!
I got 3 quotes for the fortified roof out of 7 requests. I attempted to read all 3 quotes, but they are all so different in their descriptions, and not familiar with terminology. Has anyone had any work done by Rooftek, Roof monkey or Gibbs Daughters?
Thanks for the help.

Apparently it doesn't apply to Manteo. We were denied because it's not a barrier Island. That just SUCKS !

From what I under stand I will receive a w9 tax form in January and pay taxes on this. Ugh.

We had to change insurance companies...one that fell within the roof program, in order to be eligible for this grant. It was not a problem at all to do it.

Perhaps when you checked on your eligibility, and you keyed in your current insurance policy number, you were rejected because you have a policy that did not fall within the guidelines. I understand that Manteo real estate is eligible for the roof program so it could be that you need to check further. Call the Grandy Administrator office for the roof program and ask for Teresa. She is a wealth of information for this program and was our inspector. She will tell you all that you need to know and how to do it.

Edit: Attached is info for the Grandy office. We dealt with Teresa MacPherson as she was assigned to us and not Mr. Goins. But ask for either of course. The contact number is noted on the attachment. Good luck.

We will be making some calls about this today.
