Thinking of putting roof over existing deck. A large tree is in middle of current deck. Reccomendations for contractor to remove tree and a contractor to install roof? Also will need to finance. Guess a second mortgage or heloc are my two options? Back construction gave me an estimate but were much more than I was willing to pay.

So you are cutting a tree down over your deck, but want to build a roof, which will require use of wood, to cover your deck?
I suggest if you do this, use the wood from tree to frame your roof , lower your carbon footprint print.

Why not try to incorporate a roof system around the tree instead of cutting it down?

I have never understood why someone would build a deck around a tree. I know they are not Paddock posters b/c we all have the money and then some to cut it down.

How much financing do you need? I could front you the money, but it would be short term with high interest along with pics of your wife.

OP are you screening that ***** in to ? I mean its the Paddock, if you put a roof over the deck, might as well go all out and screen it in, hot tub, game room. Can you post a pick of the back of your house and deck ? I need to know what you are working with here, only then can I give you suggestions / estimate.

I'll do it for free.

Just gonna need to "talk" to your wife for about five minutes.
Do you have good insurance? When I am done with that tree there may be a large hole in the ground. May need to replace some or all of your deck and part of your house.

Just hit me up at [email protected] if interested.
