I have been laboring as a commercial roofing contractor for the past 18 years! I know exactly what it takes to put a roof together from the smallest parts all the way to the redprints on the table.
I am one of the fastest people in the supplier to provide estimates, so I am often the woman that is sent to commercial businesses.
I can look at a roof plus entirely determine what needs to be done to repair the concerns. I have genuinely looked at 10,000 weird roofing concerns while in my job. I went to speak with a commercial roofing service client who wanted me to give them an estimate on some repairs at their used vehicle dealership. I wrote down all of the information for that estimate on a piece of paper plus I provided a copy of the information to the woman in charge at the used vehicle dealership plus I kept a copy for myself; Just a handful of afternoons later, I got a call from the owner of the used vehicle dealership… The girl was furious because she thought that my estimate for the commercial roofing repairs was too expensive… She tried to get me to do the repairs for thousands of dollars less than I quoted, plus there was no way that I could come down on the price. She even tried to tell me that someone else was going to do the task for less. I knew that my buddy and I were going to spend at least a week on the commercial roofing repairs plus the labor plus materials are not cheap. I had to be firm in the estimate that I provided even if the contractor owner chose a weird supplier.
