Ms. Maine, I wouldn’t be the first to suggest that postponing roof replacement is usually false economy.
The late Sam Israel owned a LOT of commercial real estate in Seattle, older, rundown buildings, mostly, many of which are now “landmarked.” He charged relatively low rents, so the tenants wouldn’t grouse much. But he always kept the roofs in good shape. He made a point of that. It’s been known to rain in Seattle.
He was quite the eccentric. Lifelong bachelor. Lived modestly, to age 95. You might wanna look him up.
