<br /> 3 <br />on the house and garage, as well as the gutters. Excel originally provided a bid for slate <br />shingles, but HPC requested a bid for wood shingles be supplied instead. Excel <br />Roofing also provided a quote for new roof insulation in the house. The bids break <br />down as follows: <br /> <br />Item Boulder Excel <br />Asphalt shingles (house) $17,728 $15,013 <br />Wood shingles (house) n/a $25,455 <br />Asphalt shingles (garage) n/a $4,184 <br />Wood shingles (garage) n/a $8,659 <br />Gutters n/a $1,896 <br />Insulation n/a $645 <br /> <br />Staff recommends the Excel Roofing wood shingles, considering Excel was the only <br />company to provide a full quote and on the one comparable item, had significantly lower <br />cost. The cost of the wood shingles for both the house and garage is $34,114, <br />compared to $19,197 for the asphalt. Evidence indicates the house originally had wood <br />shingles and wood shingles are a more historically appropriate material than asphalt. <br />Details like windows and roofs contribute greatly to historic character, especially with <br />the modest architecture common in Louisville. Therefore staff has determined the wood <br />shingles are an appropriate use of HPF monies. Staff also recommends grants for the <br />gutters, because they are a priority item and required by building code. Staff does not <br />recommend a grant for the insulation work because the cost of roof and gutter work <br />exceeds the value of the available grants. <br /> <br /> 1948 Assessor’s Photo
