I’m not singling you out, as many many people feel like you do. It’s this type of attitude, prevalent in this country, that has our country spiraling down the toilet.

I have been guilty of this as well, having hired landscapers that I’m pretty sure were illegals. After thinking about it a few years later, I came to the conclusion that I’d rather pay more than to help the country go in the shitter. Let a hardworking American do my lawn. I’m not contributing to the illegals pouring over the border anymore.

He said that the state did not process his renewal, so his license expired. Again, maybe he did underbid who knows.

I just want this roof fixed. No one will match it? Or at least consider matching it?

I can't help you-too far away. I'll ask my son if they know anyone out your way.

No Reaching going on.
Someone posted that legitimate contractors are crooks, because he got a roof done for 8K less from an unlicensed, uninsured, non tax paying hack.

And yes, the property owner WILL be sued if a contractors helper is injured/killed and there is no workers comp. In fact the property owner will be named in the suit 100% of the time to get at his "property insurance"

He underbid. As posted, waiting for the actual hard copy os meaningless. If he paid for the license and fulfilled all the other requirements, he's free to commence contracting.

As for the other stuff posted here, some real reaching going on. How did unlicensed translate to no insurance and tax evasion? Also no, you are no liable if a contractor gets hurt on your property unless you play a part in it. A contractor is termed an invitee.

It wouldnt be just my risk. For you to get the cheapest price, you the homeowner are also inquiring risk. What is the 1st thing GAF will ask? Was it a licensed contractor? If not, NO warranty at all. Whos gonna fix it 2 yrs from now when there is a leak? I guess you could always use the left over money to pay for the repair if needed.

Not everybody looks for the cheapest. If so, everyone would own a Toyota Yaris L Hatchback (Cheapest cars on the market right now) and there would be no market for Porsche, Lincoln, Cadillac, Lexus, Benz, etc.

Now for the most important question,,, does anyone have a Ruger 96/22 for sale??

That's not necessarily true. In Maryland, you don't need a contractor's license to build a new home. Crazy huh?

I know a guy who has one for a hell of a good deal. But, his store front looks a bit dodgy and I'm not sure if he is really a licensed FFL or not.

I've done business with him before and have always been happy. But, I wouldn't feel right about giving his name out to anyone I don't know.

Right on. I don't need to help foot the bill for someone's fancy radio ads and whatnot.

did they finish installing the screws

PJDiesel · Jan 9, 2019

Another easy one.

That rifle can be transferred FTF, no "license" needed. Really grasping for butthurt straws because not everyone allows themselves to be smoked by contractors.

Speed3 · Jan 9, 2019

I don't get the butt hurt either...to each their own I guess.

OP I'm of no help but hope you get your roof fixed soon and doesn't cost an arm and a leg

Over 4K of them.

Try as we may, I'm not going to feel bad about keeping my money in my pocket and being satisfied with the job.

Guy posts a picture of what appears to be a ~4 square job and no one thinks to mention how it's ludicrous he was quoted $8K?

How he operates his business is not my concern. I paid for the materials myself with a company Visa and him with a bank check. Not my responsibility to audit the guys books to see if he's straight with the IRS.

well that's a huge dif.

Rich1911 · Jan 9, 2019

If it is a commercial building the MHIC doesn't have any say over that anyhow - only occupied residential construction..

Yes, I spoke directly with AB Martin, why should I pay a premium for him to float the money for 3 days? Plus, if he flakes day one I have 100% of my material on site, no loss to me at that point.

Whoops..... it's a FULLY Commercial property, M2 Heavy Industrial/Manufacturing zoning. Looky there, we've sure wasted some time on this topic! :rolleyes:

OP, what are you needing replaced, the entire roof or the first floor bump out and patio roof?

Just that first floor addition and patio roof. It's a total replacement due to the damage to the underboard.

t84a · Jan 9, 2019

Do you have the actual estimate?

NatBoh · Jan 9, 2019

Do you know how many squares of shingles it will need?
