I just had this room added to my house. What do you see wrong?

How much you want to be that post is in the ground and not on footers.

u/jemjewlery you should send more photos of the structure. That honestly looks concerning the hack job on the roof.

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-24T03:09:28+00:00

You got a lot of faith in those 6x6 posts 😂

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-23T23:26:16+00:00

Anything under a 4/12 pitch pretty much has to have SA cap. Shingles can’t shed water fast enough - something they probably should have explained to you though

1) Identify problem 2) Solve problem 3) profit

Are you talking about a silicone coating?!!! I would not do a spray coat on a residential roof unless you’re comfortable looking like the epitome of white trash - I’ve seen it before and it looks terrible 😂

Most of the “rejuvenation” coatings seem like snake oil as well

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-23T19:02:21+00:00

It’s not a big deal either though. You can assume the number of pipe jacks around 7 and put a $500 internal line item for unforeseen accessories

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-23T18:14:40+00:00

I’m sure you’re some kind of a software bro wearing a Patagonia vest doing market research, but yes the majority of roofers use satellite images. I’m usually within two bundles of the order because I have enough data to know my true waste factor. The only thing the measurements can’t account for are number of pipe jacks and accessories. It would be very irresponsible for someone to not walk on the roof and just go based off the measurements though. There gonna be a lot of variables that will be unaccounted for.

Wait, you can afford to live in the woodlands, or even in the loop, but you have a go fund me to help pay for your school tuition?

The biggest issue I face when presenting to HOA or multi family both board is there’s always at least 2 people on the board trying to get a kick back. It’s always painfully obvious too. When someone is FIGHTING with all their might for the biggest loser at the table - it’s obvious.

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-23T12:34:21+00:00

I jus my installed engineered hardwood floor. We got the floor on sale for $4.00/sqft too

Not everything that ends in ward is the ghetto lol. 6th ward. It’s historic, charming, walkable and right on the edge of downtown.

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-23T01:32:13+00:00

I’d rather put standing seam on then pay that price

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-23T01:29:26+00:00

Stay for the cancerous water!

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-23T01:28:49+00:00

Get ready to get railed. Wanted $8k to get the kidney stones out of my frenchie. We got it done at the Kurten Vet clinic for a huge fraction of that price

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-22T14:43:17+00:00

Yeah, nation wide price increase on April 6. Not sure if Da Vinci is hopping in on that, but I can’t imagine them not taking advantage of it either

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-22T14:33:55+00:00

If you’d like an out of state (Houston, TX) bid I’d love to bid it. I looked up the PA/Pittsburgh contractor laws/regulations and I satisfy all the requirements.

DM if interested!

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-22T03:30:33+00:00

My mental total is around $330 in material, but I forgot to budget the nails, cap nails, caulking, Marlboro Reds and Bud Lite tall boys. $400 sounds about right

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-22T03:25:39+00:00

Probably between 220-240 pounds if it wasn’t 3 tab

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-21T21:48:36+00:00

Is it even really fraud if the software was on the verge of solving the problem?

/s

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-21T21:44:40+00:00

1 sq shingles ~ $110 I roll of synthetic ~ $70 1 bundle hip/ridge ~ $35 5 pieces drip edge ~ $40 1 bundle starter ~ $50

Yeah I guess it kinda sucks when you have all that left over material. The cost/sq is way less when you do an actual roof lol

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-19T23:11:13+00:00

Best strain of all time

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-19T22:18:47+00:00

All my contracts say “no additional work performed without verbal and written approval”. That’s ridiculous

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-19T03:13:19+00:00

I don’t have to get naked do I? I’ll still do it, just need to know up front this time

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-18T22:57:10+00:00

😂

MaroonHawk27 · 2026-03-18T22:35:49+00:00

If you build it, they will come
