Any suggestions on the best way to get the roof fixed on this barn without having to go into the poor house? Right now, I think its got 2 or 3 layers of shingles on it; I think the last layer was added sometime in the mid-1980’s. It’s got three pretty big holes in it (each hole maybe 8 ft x 10 ft) and a bunch of smaller holes here and there. I’ve talked to two contractors so far about re-roofing it, both suggested to put metal roofing over the existing shingles. I think the preferred method is to put 2x4’s and 2x6’s across the roof, and nail the metal roofing to the 2x4’s and 2x6’s. So far, it looks to be at least $20,000 for all-new metal roofing. That’s a lot of money to spend on a building I really have no use for. I’ve looked a little bit into grants and what-not to preserve historic barns, but as far as I know the barn doesn’t have any real historic value. Any suggestions on how to get it done cheaper? The farm is located in Northern Illinois.
