Friday Morning – New roof work begins.
The company we went with was higher priced than a couple others – but they were licensed.
Saturday afternoon – roofers almost done.
Roof was looking good. But roofers had to stop- one of their workers fell. No problem – people come first. He’s covered under their insurance. And so are we. If they were unlicensed – my home insurance would be paying the bills.
Sunday morning.
Roofers are working again and after about an hour, I start to smell smoke. Yep – the porch attached to the roof catches on fire from the hot tar. We got it out – no damage to the house – but the AC unit was damaged, the porch and the storage room attached to it as well. But everyone was OK and we are still blessed and able to laugh at what could have been a real disaster – especially if the company wasn’t licensed.
Monday morning.
Roofers are back. Porch being torn down and rebuilt. AC unit company on their way to repair or replace the AC unit. Storage room – I didn’t really want it anyway so let’s call it good that it’s not there anymore! And it’s all being paid for and handled by the company – who is licensed and bonded. Had we used an unlicensed company – well that odds are – our Monday morning would have had a totally different outcome.
Monday morning advice - things like this don't always happen. But things do happen. So if you hire someone to do something for you – go with licensed people: realtors, home inspectors, repair people, etc., - they make problems better all the way around.
