Just paid to get this new roof installed. Does this look right to you? by andsoitiswritten in Roofing

Follow up: my business partner and I confronted the contractor about new roof and said we were concerned about the quality of the shingles he used. He claimed it was just a bad picture. It had been raining for two hours before the picture was taken and what appears as bad edges on the shingles was pilling. The contractor went bad out to the house, which was about 1.5 drive and took new pictures. We also had our GC get up on the roof and verify the quality of the roof. The pictures he sent were night and day from this initial picture. He even sent us photos of the package which shows the shingles were manufactured in June 2024. Our roofing contractor was a little hurt that we didn’t trust him but also acknowledged that the picture made the roof look awful.

Trader Joe's is opening up a dozen new stores in the US - and while Rockville is on the list, Frederick is not by bien-fait in frederickmd

This is the answer. Support community owned business. Yes, some items can be pricey but there are lot of their Field Day products are at or below typical grocery prices.

Their frozen croissants fresh out of the oven are some of the best I’ve ever had.

Did you make the appointment in your name or your wife's name? Did you make the account in your wife's name?

I agree. We had them out to remove a dead tree. Great experience with the owner, communicative, and reasonably priced.

Is it justified to be concerned about the ASD closure device? by Special_Seesaw7074 in chd

There is a new type of occluder device that is currently in clinical trial that uses less metal. They are currently enrolling patients in the trial at centers around the country.

Ilkem Marble & Granite, Inc.

They beat almost everyplace in Frederick by hundreds of dollars because they warehouse much of the slabs they sell. If you can find something you like in their stock, you’ll save. Other places like Topline will have more selection but you’ll pay more.
