RE: ANYONE ELSE NOTICE CHANGES IN SHINGLE BUNDLES LATELY?
Lighter bundles had me thinking I’d suddenly gotten stronger - turns out, nope, just less shingle in the bag. I’ve seen bundles go from “need a buddy to lift” to “one-hand and a coffee.” As for warranties, I swear they’r...
RE: How often do you actually get your business roof checked?
Man, I hear you on the paranoia. I used to think a quick glance from the parking lot was enough - until a squirrel made a condo out of a tiny gap I missed. Now I’m up there after every big gust, rain or shine. Five minut...
RE: How I dodged a payday loan disaster
Man, you nailed it. I once thought I was being clever sealing up every nook in my attic after a storm - next thing I know, it smelled like a gym bag up there. Airflow’s underrated. Glad you didn’t have to rip out all tha...

RE: Why does every car brand have their own weird shade of red?

RE: How often do you actually get your business roof checked?
I’ll never forget the time a “perfectly fine” roof turned into Niagara Falls over a long weekend - turns out, a squirrel had chewed a tiny hole and water just took its sweet time finding the path of least resistance. By ...
RE: ROOF SURVIVED HURRICANE, BUT WAS IT JUST LUCK?
Man, I hear you on the drainage headaches. Had a client with a “fancy” rooftop garden - looked great until a nor’easter dumped two feet of snow and then rain on top. The weight nearly turned their living room into an ind...
RE: Composite Shingles vs. Asphalt: Which Would You Trust Over Your Head?
You’re not wrong about those warranties - my “lifetime” shingles lasted about 12 years before they started curling like potato chips. Composite does shrug off hail a bit better, but moss is still the neighborhood villain...
