below is C&P from an add in denver of someone seeking A roof repair.is roofing now federally regulated? do you need A liscense for repairs in Denver? I can see an adjuster making claims like this. when I dealt with adjusters they came up with their own versions of policies. and ex roofin adjusters,they were the bomb.they wore roofin boots and talked roofin words like A roofer.
"I was told my the insurance claim person I need to hire a federal licensed roof repair technician".
When we are on truly solid ground, the strength of it comes right up through the legs to the heart. So long as the mind is in service to the heart, we can pity them.
Very true. Sounds like we started about the same time, only I wasn't nine. I'm 62 and still wearing the bags. Of course I do all the rest of it too. When they start sniping, I listen for a bit. It allows me to clear my head and kindle a healthy dose of pity for them while they work themselves out towards the end of the limb. It's not enough of a contest to intrigue me. I've done enough sniping to know how empty it feels and disabusing people of their prejudices has to be handled with a small degree of condescension and a large degree of compassion.
i don't like being sniped either Egg.me or the trade.I'm not ok with that.I got on my first roof( or should I say the back of A pick-up truck shovelin rock into A wheel barrow on the roof) at 9 in the summer of 68.
We do ok. Nobody really needs recognition.http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2541707700049048902RKxPIY
A roof is the first defense for the greatest investment most homeowners will purchase. how many times have you seen gaps in recovery board?or skuppers not sealed properly,metal lapped the wrong way,kettles to hot or cold,jobsites all messy and not cared for? how much more could A good rooferf add to the shortcomings we see nowadays that would NEVER have happened back in the day? it may not be oaf furniture.it IS what keeps that furniture dry. in it's crafting dept.it's housing in A commercial sales facility then in the home where it is propudly displayed. it may not be the most eye appealing facet of the home in the laymens eyes. in mine some of my work and the work of many others is craftsmanship. I'm proud of my work.yeah I'm A piece of sh!t roofin carpenter to lots of folks.thats fine and you may be also. but in my eyes A good roofer is juat short of God. without us many would be praying in leaky churches and homes.
---I always laugh at such terms describing roofers. Ads that refer to "fine craftsmanship." As tho roofing is like building oak furniture. "Technician" is another hoot. The "fine craftsmanship" company hires another crew about once a week. I would be impressed if they actually could roof. When you have employee turnover like they do you can forget about quality. ---I will say the Mike in New Zealand and some of the copper work displayed around here could live up to that title. Lanny
"federal licensed roof repair technician"
I wonder if the job title comes with a shiny badge too!
