Got a call from a potential customer. He's not sure his roof and gutter look right and needs an opinion. This is what I saw

I'm waiting for a steel ball to come down from the top and set a mouse trap off at the bottom!

:lol:

 

[MJW]

Wow, you guys have it easy separating yourself from the horrid competition.

You read my mind when I saw the photo for the first time too.

The wall flashing is awesome....:laughing::laughing::laughing:

 

[Grumpy]

Oh the wall flashing seriously is what you should expect to see from 50% or more of the so called roofers in this area. No joke, that's pretty much a standard wall flashing detail around here. Not to say we'd ever do that, but there are many many many jobs with wall flashings just like that which I see every day in my daily travels around Chicago.

 

[Grumpy]

Hmmm that valley just doesn't look right.

Yeah this valley caught my eye one day while I was driving.

 

[English Roofer]

Grumpy, can you tell me how my works going to be next year?
as i can tell by the last photo you can see in to the future!
(look at the date lol)
Cheers
Dave

 

[Grumpy]

Yeah I noticed the date also but I am too lazy to crop it out

 

[Ed the Roofer]

It's not just the valley, but look at the alignment of the key way slot lines.

Notice anything?

Ed

 

[Johnk]

Its a little bit of everything.Maybe a blind man working with a deaf mute?No I take that back,they would probably do better,lol.

 

[T-LOCK]

Maybe things were going so smoothly on the one hip to the left of the valley, they decided to keep going to the other side. lol
Do you think it dawned on them when they ran the dormer roof over the top
of their sideways roof?

 

[tomstruble]

that first pic has the ultimate kick out flashing

Ed your gettin picky in yout later yearsarty:

 

[tinner666]

Nice to see different techniques!

 

[Grumpy]

I had two mutes working for me for one summer. They did good work and the customers loved that we were "helping them out", as the customers often put it,
