I would be interested to find out what information you find out.

I will probably be putting on a new roof in the next year. The wife is starting to talk about how bad or roof looks and that a new roof would make our house look so much better.

I am trying to put that expence off for another year or 2. If it ain't broke [leaking], why fix it.

Do you have a builder, or or you doing it yourself? Meaning your own GC. Wife and I are exploring debating buy a newer, bigger home or build. Wanting to find out work of mouth good builders.

As I remember that's labor only, he bid framing, roof, granite, sheetrock, brick, paint and doing trim. I believe he only bid material and labor for sheetrock and the paint work.... I am starting Monday in Moss Bluff if you want to come look at his work at anytime

They usually don't have full time crews and are willing to do job for any price then they go find labor to match price they gave u even if its a roofer they hire to do sheetrock. No supervision , usually fake insurance certificates ... I've seen it all . I pay 35/ sq labor n shingles n I'm a contractor ! 29/ sq something is fishy

This is a guy that's been local for atleast 20yrs and has done a lot of work in our area including building for other builders so I fill pretty confident with him and his crew but I know what you are talking about with some of the crews that do this work being unqualified and doing crappy work.
