Help Harold with a roofer's skills: a failed boiler with no heating
Looking for a licensed roofer in Houston to donate time or work at cost.
Anywhere in the world902 views
In December an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,700 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $195.
The job should take about eight hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're a roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you so much.

Best of luck, Harold. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Nashik.
