Hello,
My name is Sam,
I am in the USA, but my family originally comes from Germany, where we also own a small holiday home (~50 m^2).
This holiday home brought me here. It is located in Schleswig-Holstein and needs a new roof, or at least needs new insulation on the roof.

Last year we received a cost estimate for a new roof and it came to 20,000 euros. Only 5,000 euros of that were material costs. Since I just finished my studies, I thought about hiring someone and we could renovate it together.
I have experience with construction work, but only here in the USA. I don’t know if I would need certain permits or have to comply with building regulations, or how I could find out about this.

I am flying to Germany on June 20th and want to start the work on July 1st.
I found this forum and hope you can help me. As compensation, I would like to answer questions about the USA or do English translations.

Thank you very much,
-Sam
