Called a business that had an insert in our local paper to get a quote for
getting our lawn rolled. Gave them all the usual information, plus e-mail
address, then asked when somebody was likely to come and check the place
out. Reply: "We don't need to send somebody the we get all the
information we need from satellite imagery."

I was impressed when one of the roofing companies I contacted did the
estimate from satellite imagery. The computer spits out the estimate. I
didn't hire them and I'm glad I didn't. They did one of my neighbor's and
the crew consisted of Mexican Nationals. Nothing against Mexicans but I want
one or two English speaking guys on the crew.

Point is: It's the final job that matters. :-)


Good luck finding a non mexican roofing crew. BUT, i would insist on an
English speaking Foreman. I agree with that. Speak english or go home.
