Greetings from Canuckistan

Mr Roofer

Hello, my name is Mr Roofer, and I am a recovering sideaholic.

OK that was lame, but seriously, I've been roofing for the worst part of the last 20 years or so. I started out as a wee lad helping my stepfather tar the shite out of a step flashing detail on our own 12/12 roofed house, and knew that wasn't going to work then. As far as I know it still leaks today.

The first fulltime gig landed me on a motley crew of 10-15 that mostly serviced the residential re-roof/new construction asphalt shingle market. We also did some cedar, and a lot of rotten pine. Mixed in the cold winter months we would do the odd t&g or sbs repair. It was a good varied learning experience there, with the owner of the company on the roof everyday which kept the bs of the biz to a minimum, I think, and digress.

Since that time I have seemingly subbed for just about every contractor in the city, and some beyond (steady work hah!), and have since graduated into an estimating/supervisory role for a small, moderately upscale outfit which roofs pretty much anything under the sun. Diversity is key in the new and vastly unimproved economy.

Good lookin site, is it siding free though?

Mr Roofer

I have been pretty free in trying 'that other place', but I like the idea of a specifically dedicated roofing zone, hopefully with as little tree fiddy as possible!

Grumpy

Me too mr Roofer. I don't like asking a roofing question and seeing "FramerThis" and "FramerThat" answering. LOl but I like the tree fiddy. There is some reasoning to it. Though it does tend to get over done.

Three years ago I said CT was getting too big and losing its' intimacy. I spend more time here than there and when I go, I only go to the roofing forum.
