Hello-
I own a seventeen year old geodesic dome which is now in need of a new roof. House is ~1550 sq.ft., 3 dormers, no chimney, 2 flat pitched entry ways, 2 stories and only a portion of the roof is walkable. The dome is 35 ft. in diameter, a 5/8 sphere, third iteration. It is approximately 35-40 squares, as the entire house is basically roof. Here is a picture that closely resembles what I'm talking about. Note that these structures are more prone to leaks than a standard home (ugh, I've got three now).
Anyway, house is in South Carolina. This is going to be a tear off. I'm looking at using 30 year laminate shingles (GAF) at least. Any ideas as to an estimate? I've got companies lined up but would like as much info as possible beforehand.
Thanks, Y'all-
Obie
