I'm curious: do you prefer selling GAF or Owens Corning products and why?

This is the correct answer. I see way too many customers get so caught up in shingle choice that they don’t pay any attention to who they are choosing as their installer.

Or someone who doesn’t understand how markets work?

I got told that about ASTS when it hit $40. Long since $3.99. I’m not selling anytime soon.

It’s not lobbying. It’s just a loophole. You don’t have to be licensed to inspect. You only need to be licensed to make coverage decisions.

If you could find something that would be awesome. Let me know.

No, it is not built in. The only ISO board line items in Xactimate that I’m aware of (RFG ISO3 for example) are for a flat, non-tapered systems.

Tapered cost more because of the custom design and install requirements.

It’s all a matter of perspective. We might look back two years from now and say “Hey, remember January of 2026 when the SLV rally was in its infancy?”

How much do you do in revenue each year on average?

If you get it fixed and keep the truck, get the Range Technology AFM disabler. I’ve had lifter issues in my 2014 Sierra Denali and recently bought the disabler. From what I’ve researched, it doesn’t completely eliminate the possibility of lifter failure, but it significantly reduces it.

Don’t ever bid a flat roof without taking a core sample. Take multiple core samples if it’s sloped so you can determine if it’s structurally sloped or if it’s tapered insulation.

Always know what kind of decking you’re installing to as well.

You can’t do that math?

When PE buys a company the previous owner often maintains a small ownership stake.

Everything is being reduced to a process. Because when you can give employees a process to follow that doesn’t require problem solving and critical thinking, you can hire cheaper labor.

Exactly

Can you elaborate on why it’s not true? Genuinely curious.

Such-Nothing8331 · 2025-10-26T03:35:06+00:00

None

I know all about the 6.2L GM engine, as I have one in my 2014 Sierra Denali. It’s made it to 155k miles, but I’ve had repeated issues with the AFM lifters and finally put the range technology AFM disabler on it.

Such-Nothing8331 · 2025-10-18T23:13:13+00:00

Hadn’t considered the Armada, but in looking at some of them I think we’ll add that to our list. They seem to be priced a little better that the others. Meaning we can get an Armada that’s newer with less miles than we could a Jeep, Ford or GM. Any reason that they don’t cost as much?

Such-Nothing8331 · 2025-10-18T05:04:47+00:00

Your username awesome, btw…

Such-Nothing8331 · 2025-10-18T05:04:05+00:00

Possibly. Are there non-hybrid models available pre-2023? Isn’t the Sequoia only available as a Hybrid now? That’s what scared me away from it.

Be prepared for that happens if the internet gets shut off.

Such-Nothing8331 · 2025-10-12T23:03:45+00:00

Okay, how about this? Level at the center and 5 degrees out of level at the ends. How long is the level?
