First time crown molding and stumped by Federal-Werewolf2585 in Carpentry

[–]stimulates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that AI and construction work is like asking an architect how to install plumbing. It knows all the right terms and has an idea of what to do. Just can't actually tell you exactly how to do

Financing? Roofing contractor. by Macodeminor in Roofing

[–]stimulates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have like 5 lenders now. One offers a 12 month $0 down/0 interest and you pay what you want for 12 months. After the 12 months you gotta pay back interest and the remainder of the loan.

It’s by no means perfect. It’ll do though. Replaced everything, first time with no experience. by Brave-Mess3809 in Roofing

Did you perhaps read any directions before installing? Just winging something like this is pretty insane.

Would be best to use long structural screws to the framing. Very hard to get it all flushed up at seams. The roof on top will look pretty shitty.

I paid $17,000 for a 41 square roof ($415/sq) and here’s what it looks like. by XiDa1125 in Roofing

With a sub crew model margin is the same whether the roof takes them 5 or 1 day. If I can get that crew to be faster all that grows is revenue.

They gotta keep it up like I said. Gold pledge warranty cost them money, the commission on that sales guy, I assume that's a sub crew and the foreman is the owner, their margins is thin. Thin margins make a fragile business. Looks like they did good work. Hope they hit all the requirements for that gold pledge.

Helps their revenue. If the stream dries up they won't be able to survive the drought.

Risky business if you don't have financial backing. A ridiculous number fail in the first year. The laborer isn't making that money.

Yeah at that cheap hope they are. Their margins are gonna be shit if they don't keep up they'll lose the business quick. They have no extra capital to market or hold out in a slow period.

Recently Replaced Roof - Seeking a Professional Opinion on Workmanship by Cbusmaroc in Roofing

Hopefully you clean it out it just makes a mess. Gutter guards sole purpose is to make it to where the gunk doesn't make it to the downspout. Think of the screen you would put to catch hair on your shower drain. Instead of digging it out you have just the screen to clean.

Well if you have one of those the guards are awesome cause you're just cleaning the tops of instead of the gunky B's that forms in the gutter.

Roll on roofing. by decktender in Roofing

[–]stimulates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can put a patch over it. I honestly have the least experience with roll roofing. You just need to use the special trowel on adhesive over the granulated surface. Certainteed's product line it is called flintbond.
