Poor Jenny, it is said that ignorance is bliss, however, by the time
one reaches your advanced years, a rational person should have
discovered that aphorism is fallacious.

"Smell test" is an idiomatic expression that refers to an informal
method for determining whether something is authentic, credible, or
ethical, by using one's common sense or sense of propriety.

In other words, trader_4 doubts the veracity of your story. Based
upon your behavior in this group, he has a valid concern, IMHO.

HAHA! Frankly, his sniffer must be clogged up, and your synopsis is
supposed to come across as being intelligent, emphasis on "supposed to".

Why do you feel the need to resort to such responses if you feel you are
intelligent enough to take me on in a legitimate fashion? Perhaps, you
really are not as capable, and I am giving you more credit than you deserve?

You come across as able, but too lazy to engage in conversation that
requires any real thought or effort. On the bright side, you probably
fit nicely into certain societal boxes that accept such laziness as
being normal.

Let's just say that if what she says is true,

Of course what I said is true.

that the contractor
had a roof replacement complete, done except for some minor trim replacement
and picking up nails and they had not been paid, yet they would not
answer calls,

yep ... still all true.

couldn't be found, had to go to the BBB, then I bet there
is a lot more to the story that we don't know.

Nope ... that's the whole story.

I'd love to hear the contractor's version.

The owners excuse was the job foreman was "new" to being a foreman, and
simply "screwed up" by neglecting to "follow-up", which, I did mention
already.

And the owner didn't care that you had not paid a dime for a whole new roof? Didn't notice? How long did this go on? You made a lot of calls, who were you calling and leaving messages with? How could you only be dealing with a foreman? I never had a number for a foreman, only a number for a business.

My insurance company tells me I need a new roof by March of next year.

It's at least 25 years old and I realize it's time.

Since it will require a full tear off, I know it's going to be around
$15,000.


So far I've talked to three contracting firms and none have even
bothered to come and give me an estimate. Not even a call back to
reschedule.

Is business /that/ booming?

I'm obviously getting peeved. Guess I will keep trying.



The fifth one I contacted actually showed up!

I have similar problems as you. I need roof work done, but of the
several roofers I contacted a few months ago, they all either never
responded or told me they weren't interested in the job.

I'm about to start of a new round of exploration. I want to have it
done by the onset of winter.

Two of them never called back...two called back and made an appointment
but never bothered to show up...not even a call.

I will not even attempt to give them a 2nd chance.

The guy who came over today called me right back...made an appointment
same day and even called later to tell me he was running a few minutes late.

I feel good about this one as he carefully inspected both the inside and
out. If the estimate is anywhere close to where I think it should be
I'm going to hire him. It's a well known firm in town.

I'm up in Wisconsin and since I told them it could be done next year the

The guy who did show up for the estimate told me he was very busy but

Did not need Home Advisor, the guy I expected to give me the estimate
did send it after all. Since it was slightly less than what I expected I
took it. Now all I have to do is get some money into my checking account.

Even when I was in my 20's I would never work on roofs other than once
helping re-roof a ranch style house. It was not even close to steep and
only ten feet off the ground.

A friend of mine's father at 92 went up on a tall ladder to inspect the
roof work being done , fell off and died a few days later.


My wife and I have a little joke now...

We've agreed that when one of us thinks the other is getting too old
we'll say," Time to check the roof now."



That said, a friend of mine actually had her 82 year old mother repair
her roof!

I know what you mean. Mine will need replacing in about 10 years but I
watched how the guys did mine. Did not look too hard so I may do it
myself if I can get the shingles delivered to the roof. Before I start
though, I'll take a double dose of ibuprofen so my joint will still work
at 82. How hard can it be?

It's not what it is, it's where it is.

My insurance company tells me I need a new roof by March of next year.

It's at least 25 years old and I realize it's time.

Since it will require a full tear off, I know it's going to be around $15,000.


So far I've talked to three contracting firms and none have even bothered to come and give me an estimate. Not even a call back to reschedule.

Is business /that/ booming?

I'm obviously getting peeved. Guess I will keep trying.


Be a man. Stand up tall and yell, "**** you, Insurance Company! You want a new roof, you pay for it!"
LOL

Be a moulie! Get a sheet of corrugated iron (tin in yer case) and
hammer it on yer roof! Hay, it works in Haiti!

They are doing the last of the work today. It will be exactly one week.
Considering they missed several days due to rain not too bad. I was told
it would be done within six days depending on weather.

In addition to them correcting a mistake in the original 1898
construction that lead to a chronic (but small) front porch leak...they
are completely re-doing the chimney flashing that they told me we not
done very well when I had the chimney replaced maybe 20 years ago.


Additionally they are putting flashing/edging all around the edge of the
roof. The folks who did it last time skipped that step.

Of course the winter here is slow coming but this is one time I've at
least got the jump on things.
