Gascoigne roofing firm indi- cated that a thorough job of repairing the flashing in the vicinity of the leak, as wéll as certain other renovations, could cost as much as $5,000. However, the firm of Wil- liams Roofing and Sheet Metal said they would replace the roofing in two places and caulk the existing flashing for $400. Wight's report pointed out that "as the price indicated, the work proposed by Gas- coigne Ltd. is far more extensive than that proposed by Williams and should elim- mate any future problens and repairs for sometime.
