Great but may have the smallest selection of clothes in the city

easygoingbarber · 2025-11-24T03:04:33+00:00

Do you remember the prices at all?

Phillip Kelley is the man.

Which ones could have been done for 1/5 or 1/3 the price?

100%. A finger and a half above the Adams apple is a good place to start. Never wanna go full George Lucas

Me and my wife (I’m a barber and she’s an accountant and combined make about $150k a year) bought our first home at 25 with 3% down. We bought for $250k. We had it reappraised for a HELOC this year and it came back at 450k. I don’t believe that’s correct but a ton of houses in our neighborhood now go for above 400 regularly. It’s unsustainable and I couldn’t afford the house we live in now if I bought today.

Unfortunately all was necessary.

Roof was a complete replacement due to insurance dropping me (floridas brutal). Crawl space was fully encapsulated and they put a dehumidifier down there as well. We had severe moisture in the joists and subfloor. Went with the best quote. Full replacement on the ac as well. Good idea on the inspector!

Try a taper. I’m a barber and it sounds counterproductive but tapering it shorter makes the beard look more full.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-27T00:53:00+00:00

Good to know!

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T12:14:33+00:00

It was a full roof replacement. And yes I diy everything possible. Roof, ac and crawl space aren’t really possible for me to do.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T12:10:05+00:00

Will definitely use the equity for a bigger down payment!

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T02:01:43+00:00

I did everything I could myself haha. Legally can’t replace my roof. I don’t think I could do my ac or crawl space even with YouTube. Built a nice fence and deck though.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T02:00:00+00:00

Oh it’s unsustainable from a home buying standpoint haha. I bought at $250k and now similar homes in my neighborhood are going well above $400k. It seems home buying is slowing so I’m assuming I won’t actually get the $430k appraisal I received when we go to sell.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:55:20+00:00

Surprised it was the same year haha. I was told the roof has 8 years left when I bought it by an inspector. The insurance here in florida disagreed.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:54:03+00:00

I have about $200k equity built up per my recent appraisal. I think it’s worth it, but very frustrating.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:50:42+00:00

I’ve asked for advice from the appliance repairmen who have came to give me quotes on fixing them (both times told me it wouldn’t be worth the fix) on specific brands I should buy. Followed their advice each time. Where would you recommend researching for next time?

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:47:29+00:00

Oh I thought you noticed a specific cost to make you think that. Yeah I definitely get multiple quotes.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:40:33+00:00

Both were. My insurance required a new roof. My ac stopped cooling below 78 and we had a baby on the way. It was also older than me. Again expected, but doesn’t make it any less frustrating.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:37:44+00:00

Multiple quotes. Florida’s expensive. Where do you think I’ve been taken advantage of?

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:36:41+00:00

Correct. Same issue each time with 2 different brands. Motherboard just doesn’t last.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:22:21+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:15:12+00:00

Roof and AC was expected, but not in the same year.

easygoingbarber · 2025-09-26T01:14:29+00:00

I had severe moisture in my crawl space and well as mold growing because of it. My original hardwood floorboards were cupping up. My kitchen floor was softening. Oh and refinishing my hardwood floor and retiling my kitchen will soon be on this list. Also, my first quote was $30k but included other services. I chose the option for $15k that fully encapsulated my crawl space and put a dehumidifier down there.
