Yeah, goatskin is great until it gets soggy and then you’re basically wearing a pair of beef jerky mittens. I’ve tried those “breathable” coated glove...
Mushrooms inside the house... that’s a new one for me too. I’ve seen some weird stuff after a leaky roof, but nothing that would make me want to start...
I hear you on the humidity—mine still gets a little funky under there, but at least the tiles stay put now. I went with a mid-range composite last yea...
That’s wild—my adjuster did the exact same thing. I had a whole folder of photos, receipts, and a roofer’s write-up ready to go, thinking I’d look sup...
Honestly, it’s like roulette. I tried asking around but nobody could predict who’d show up. I did push back once—politely—and it just dragged things o...

We had the same rollercoaster ride with bids when we redid our roof last summer. Honestly, some of the quotes made me wonder if they were just spinnin...
Been there, done that... insurance companies love the phrase "purely aesthetic," don't they? Had a similar runaround with my metal roof after a storm—...
Yeah, flat rate definitely feels safer to me too. When we did ours, the contractor quoted per square, and I thought I was being smart until they found...
