Probably need a carpenter or (handyperson) to tear out the sill and whatever is damaged and replace it (should be max a day – 5-800). If you can get a roofer or someone experienced with access to the right materials that work should be 1-1500. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>That would be my guess as to what it would cost me out here (but my crew is experienced with membranes and waterproofing details) – you should have more access to the right skills in Toronto but really depends on how lucky you are to find the right person. Problem with that type of work is you just can’t get a carpenter type person that is not experienced with it - as they could putter at it for a week with numerous trips to home despot and do it wrong in the end at triple what it should cost. These materials are easy and fast to use when someone is experienced (and require speed) but a mess if not – and the proper materials are a specialty supply.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Marilyn [mailto:cybercrone@eol.ca] <br><b>Sent:</b> July-23-11 11:13 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Green Building'; JOHN SALMEN<br><b>Subject:</b> RE: [Greenbuilding] Green roof drainage question<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>WOW, John, thanks!!
