Very good info fellas! Thanks for posting Ed.

I'm really thinking of using this and maybe a few other things to set us apart from other companies.

The consensus lately is all about how fast the job is done. As far as the average homeowner knows......all roofs are the same.....just get it done.

Myself, I would like to be known for quality rather than quantity.

Exactly!!!

This may or may not be a tough economy to continue to prove that premise, but that is why I personally meet with every home owner and drop off my proposal and do my horse and pony show regarding all of the various products I use and show the pitfalls of the opposing products.

Unfortunately, the detailed proposal has gotten one page longer, but I don't even refer to it during the entire meeting. Photos of their job problems, brochures to show how and why those problems occurred in the first place, my photo album to back up and show that we actually do exactly what we say we will do and then, finally, we get to the proposal. 15 seconds to quickly zip through and show them, that everything that we talked about is all down in writing and then to the price page.

Am I worth the price of a cup of coffee more than the other contractors who bid the job?

Yes, take the cheapest cup of coffee that you can buy each day and if they bought me a cup of coffee each day for the next 3 years, they can afford to hire quality versus quantity quite easily.

CT is coming out with a Landmark in Star White that will qualify for the tax credit.

Have any of you guys used the tax credit to help close a deal for a new roof?

So if I understand this correctly, I can sell a GAF timberline white shingle with the energy star rating. The H.O. then uses the 2009 IRS form 5695 when filing federal taxes.

A couple questions I have..............
#1) Are felt, nails, etc also included under material cost, or is it just the shingle and cap?

#2) Do I need a suppliers invoice, or could a supply one on my letterhead?

#3) Is it 10% of the material cost, up to a max credit of $500?

#4) What if the homeowners do not file jointly, are both eligible for the credit?

Thanks,

James FL

It is a limit of $1,500.00 not only $500.00

The manufacturer has to provide a letter of certification.

I don't know the answers to the other questions. Call up the IRS hot-line and see if they know.
