HELP


All the plywood being damaged by water leaks, my god I can't believe I didn't have more leaks. :rolleyes: The fact I couldn't trust them in removing my satellite dishes nicely so they can be re-installed just by looking at them. :eek: The shingles delivery truck damage waver signature needed before they can deliever... All in all thinking you're going to need a driveway all said and done. :( All the banging nailing giving my a headache :( Nervous about turning up stereo too loud as I don't wish someone to visit me later when its quite and no ones home ;) :rolleyes: But being close to my 357 Mag is priceless. :D

Well, I've been on my share of roofs over the years, so if you have any questions......

And no, I'm not Mexican:)

God Bless you sir, that got to be one of the hardest, hottest job in the world. I love anyone who does this for a living. :)


If you can tell it something I would ever do for a living you're so correct.

Yes, I'm paying for it though, my body is pretty beat up. Trying to stay away from it the older I get.....

[treitz3]

Roofing is one job that no matter how much the pay was.......I would NOT do it.

I'd rather be homeless living in a cardboard box listening to a battery powered BOSE than to roof for a living. F that!!!

[hearingimpared]

I know quite a few guys whose bodies are very old for their age from roofing.

All you need is a JLG Boom lift. A 600S would surely do the trick. Our biggest one does a 150 feet easy, and it will creep at 2-4mph if you so choose to drive @ that height.

Geez, remember being a young buck when i first got into construction 25 years ago, i framed up alot of homes, and did my share of roofs. No boom trucks, or conveyors, grab a bundle and head up 2 stories lol. Sometimes making a game of it, 2 80lb bundles on your shoulder and see who could reach the top first! Real safe huh? Those days are over, havent done a roof in awhile now. But if i do thank god for the boom truck!:)

Are you drunk?

Lmao!

[sucks2beme]

Boom truck????? I've never seen one around here. They push off a couple
of pallets of materials off a truck a day or two ahead of time.
Then a crew of guys shows up and goes nuts. It's loud.
Nobody but the lead guy speaks English. Welcome to the modern
age. First time I had it done here, the crew was pretty rotten.
My wife(she was a realtor) found a crew for the 2nd re-roof that's pretty good. They
clean up after there mess pretty well, and were able to strip and
re-roof in a single day. They have done a lot of repair work for the wife
on homes for sale. A dependable roofer is one who's card you keep!

Just don't let off the stick real fast, or you'll find out what it's like to be on the business end of a trebuchet.:D

No too early :)


Looks like they will be done tomorrow, they where right 2.5 days or so.

How many squares for the roof?

[disneyjoe7]

Not sure but was told it was 4402sg ft. I think that's 44 not sure if a square is 10x10' or 9x9' which someone told me.

Yes, 10x10 covers 100 square feet. roughly 44 squares.

You'd be impressed to know how many cutoffs and checks we have in place to prevent tipover. Ive taken them up to the max, and yes its gets scary but Im proof positive, these machines are safe.

I know they're hard to tip over, just wish the JLG's were a bit smoother. Even in crawl mode, they're quite jerky compared to a Genie. Both get the job done, though. I've been up at 150' on a windy day...white knuckle ride for sure.

Our roof needed replacement back in 2003, so we scheduled it and went to Europe for three weeks. :D

I found a couple nails in the backyard when we got back. Great experience!

Worst thing you could ever do. They presumably took the old roof off... you have no idea what they found underneath or how they covered it back up.

Anytime you have a contractor working at your house, BE THERE!.

[disneyjoe7]

I agree I happy to be able to be here why they replace it. It wasn't allow really sweet to be here while they were working, but I like to know what they are doing.

[WilliamM2]

I did my own roof a couple of years ago. The roofing company estimated $4200 for the job using cheap 20 year 3 tab shingles, + any decking that needed replacement. My little brother is a roofer, cost of doing it ourselves was less than $1800, using the best architectural 40 year shingles, and replacing over a third of the decking. None of it had water damage, but in the 70's when the house was built they used plywood, it warps over time and just looks bad (wavy roof). Also added ridge vents, and replaced all the vent boots and furnace vent flashing, things that the contractor had not put on his bid.

Took us two days for a complete tearoff and re-shingle. Saved a ton of money, and ended up with a much better quality roof than the contractor would have done, but it did give me much more respect for roofers, there is no way I could do that every day for a living.

[disneyjoe7]

The shingles are 30 year architectural GAF/ELF, but I don't think roofers or anyone making a killing on any work as they all seem hungry for the business. The material price was a bit high when I estimated the price given the size so overall it's was a fair price IMHO. Happy camper. :)


Anything over 30 year shingles in Florida isn't worth it, as it needs to be replaced every 15 years or so any way.
