    Dormer Roof leak-felt or lead

    I think a job that size would never be done for less than 2000. Get the professionals in to quote you. A leadwork specialist will cost more but do a better job than a roofer as we are trained to do it, Not only that but we can lead burn and I have never met a roofer that can leadburn or boss...
