Yeah, I get what you mean about the paperwork. It’s wild how much stuff they want, especially when you’ve just moved in and don’t have all the old rec...
Yeah, that’s been my experience too. I used to think the extra price for a green or cool roof wasn’t worth it, but after seeing how much less my neigh...
Rubber shingles, huh? Haven’t worked with those yet, but I’ve heard they hold up pretty well in rough weather. I’m in a spot where the wind just rips ...
