Speaking of that, my uncle said he’s been getting faxes of roofing ads. Lol. He said, “imagine the audacity that they do that on my toner and paper.” Priceless. He said he would never ever call that and I can’t say I blame him.
Man oh man.
I dont want to come of arrogant or anything but i have to say this.
If you were in Calgary right now none of you would be bitching about not having any work. Seriously.
I do a couple of houses a week for a company called STarrs roofing. They been in the business for about 6 months and they are on track to do five hundred new roofs and reroofs this year.
I myself dont really understand how they get thoses awsome contracts but they are getting them.
Its owned by three guys. One that did one roof and thinks hes a roofer. His dad that owns a drycleaning compay and a indiand that live on the reservation that owns a trucking company.
I have 10 time more roofing knoledge then these three guys combined. Im not kidding these guys are not roof inclined.
They must have had there own houses qouted and created a business off those prices.
They are getting rich. Seriously.
I wish you guys could come up here and show these guys how its done.
The roofing industy upo here is so backed up companys are fighting over roofers.
Companys buy roofers out with trucks, tools and money its so bad.
Seriously i wish i could undeerstand how this city needs a company like mine.

You really think IKO shingle are bad. I never heard trhat before. May i ask why you think they are bad?
I use the cambridge. They are pretty good.[/quote]
I’ve had ok luck with 3 roofs I did for a builder 3-5 years ago with the Cambridge shingles, very large laminate. Did one for the same builder with the Iko Dynasty and was very impressed. The majority of the IKO line is junk.
Tim things are fine. Making money. Working alot. Finally i have taught the woman making appointments to stack the area rather than going all over the place in an hour.
As far as coming up there to see how it is done. Hmmm…I will pass i think i know what i am doing. And you can ask anyone here that i do. So your in an area that is a work rich area. Thats a good thing. Most of america is not. Sadly if we went up there you might be out of a job. How long does it take you to tear off a 1 layer 12/12 cut up little piggy of around 45 square???
BTw the work is there and can be sold it is just if you want to lower your price to the point the customer wants. ANd thats not an option really.

Im think you are insinuating your faster than me. That makes me laugh.
if you think your faster than my crew id beg to differ.
We have to keep up withthe work and the work is never ending. In the winter we are Roofing,in minus 30 we are roofing, in the rain we are roofing, in the blazing hot we are roofing. Ive been through every single element nature has thrown at me.
In my short time ive been a roofer ive never came across a crew quiker and more precise then mine.
Like i said i do new roofs and we have to be fast.
Builders have scedules that they have to keep. Crews are booked weeks in advance.
So dont try and say youd put me out of work.
I could care less how fast you are. I was just wondering. Speed is not the best thing quality is. I could care less. As far as selling yes indeed i would burry you buster. Price is just a number and if you dont understand that yet you never will.
DING DING !! - both of you go to your corners and come out next round fighting !!! Good round !!
ohh.ohhh …tag me in
Your in marshall
why do you need to canvass if you do new roofs? you dont even sell if you do new roofs…so you are not going to bid against any of us even if we were there. and as you have said in other posts " I am the cheapest in my town" not many of us sell “cheap” we sell “TRUST”. …next
And Marshall hits roofing buster with a right uppercut… this seemed to have caught him and have stunned him… he got busted by Marshall… lets see what buster comes back with… I can’t see him having any type of chance with GTP and Marshall double teaming him… we will have to wait and see !
Im the cheapest, im the fastest, i use iko. I dont know anything. WHo am i???
Buster all im saying is this in a sales perspective you have tons to learn. Dont come to a fight unarmed and un educated. You have no chance of convicing us your great. To many things that conterdict each other. Like this company pays more but i work here. I worked there but i dont know how to get ahold of them. WTF do you make this shit up as you go??? When you want to have a battle of brains come armed next time. You are a waste of my time and now im done with you. Marshall can clean up the rest of him.
Ok im done with the ropadope. Its time to swing.
In a couple days from now im gonna show you my portfolio. Im gonna show you all the houses ive done in the last couple weeks.
If your challenging me to who is better or faster then its on.
Ypu show me pics of your houses, your crew, your rig and tools and Ill show you mine.
I still dont believe im gonna actually waste time on this but im up for the challenge.
In one week.
Who care what you have done in the last few weeks. I know i dont. Our point is you talk a big game but you just dont show it. There are many things you have said that well conflict with what you say now or before. I could honestly care less what you do or how you do it. You go and put the roofs on new homes and leave the real work to the big boys. Oh btw when you can do 180 squares in 1 day and thats with a tear off on a 10/12 cut up then open your mouth small fry. Im sick of this fly.
Hey btw why dont you take pictures of canada while your at it. You have ZERO cedablity here buster so whatever you produce is honestly a waste of your time. WHen you have been here for as long as the rest of us have and actually helped homeowners not builders then open your mouth.You are a sub (not saying anything is wrong with that) but You talk like you own a large business that does 5 mill a year. When you come and talk a big game and then say things like you have that just proves how big of a BS artist you really are. Come back when your honest with things and you really do what you say you do cause i sure done believe a word coming out of your mouth. And i think others have said the same here also.
Anyone else feel that same way??? Please post your comments.
He MUST make $ 5 Mil per year 'cause after all, he’s got a chauffer…
& Here’s a legitimate question for you:
Does the builder order supplies that are delivered to the jobsite or do YOU do takeoff’s & they order exactly what you spec?
That’s a very important question.
Hi,
Why is that an important question?
I’ll let someone else make a guess on that before I respond (oh, if someone DOES have an answer as to why it’s important or not, hold off until Billy Goat / Bust Roofing / Beaver Roofer answers.
Hi,
I am in business for 27 years. I have do a fair amount of roofing every year.
I have no idea why that question is important.
