Reno Roofing Contractors, there’s cheap and then there’s quaility.

HIGH MOUNTAIN ROOFING SERVICES

Welcome to Reno Roof Repair

Let me qualify what I mean, about Reno Roofing Contractors. This will be lengthy, but worth the read.

As I have said before, I started the business in June 1996. The reason I started High Mountain Roofing Services, was because of all of the terrible, and poor workmanship, that I have witnessed, personally by working for a lot of the companies that were, and some that are still here today. I have been a roofer, and an estimator, for a lot of them. I am not trying to impune any one company in particular. I am just stating the facts, as to how our company is ran compared to other ones. No names are mentioned, just facts.

I have worked for at least 10 different roofing companies locally. I saw what kind of workmanship was being done, and all of the problems that many of these companies were having because of their leaking roofs, a ton of law suits, shingles blowing off, (see photo’s below for the reason why). Their roofs were being installed improperly, with no ventilation, improper installation of the plywood, shingles, tile, shakes, torch down, and you name it, and I have seen it being done. Especially tearing up their landscapes, trashing their yards, and grass. Leaking oil all over their driveways, because of junky and poorly maintained equipment. Even one of the roofing contractors I previously had worked for. He uses to say, that bad publicity was good because, it still keeps your name out there. Which I have adamantly disagreed with, at that time and still do today.

Again, like I have said before, I am not saying that we are perfect. We are absolutely are not. We all know the saying, Murphy’s Law, whatever that is. Situation’s that just happen, because of the nature of the roofing business. But are precautions being taken. Do they care enough to protect your family, home, business, yards, cars, just your personal stuff, that you have worked so hard to get. Get it. Do they really appreciate your business, and take it as a blessing. Do they pay their employees top Journeymen wages, or are they being paid minimum wages, which a lot of roofers are. Everybody is out to be the cheapest roofer they can be. They will not last, I have seen it before and will see it again. Ask your self. Who do you think cares more about the company they work for, and the jobs they do? How would you feel, you ask? The ones who feels like they are being taken advantage of, which they are. Or the one who is making top wages, who should be making $150.00 to $250.00 per day, because they bust their hump, and work hard.

Since we have been in business for 17 years, I have witnessed at least, 30-40 local roofing companies, go out of business, because they run their business on the volume principle, instead of quality. Which means they have to do twice as much work, and pay minimum wages, or do something else to succeed in their business venture, possibly cut corners. You tell me! Guess who gets hurt by dissatisfied, and unhappy employee’s, who could give a rats but about your roof. It’s a job they hate, but have no choice, to work. Not saying all, but there is enough dissension, among these types of employees.

There is other unforeseen reasons why business don’t last. But the majority is their own fault. There at one time, was one of largest roofing companies in the world. Who use to do I believe around $ 500,000,000. Per year in sales. They were a volume, roofer. They would come into local towns all over the country, and set up their satellite office’s, and would go were the work was. They would come into these towns and destroy the local roofing economy, by bidding stuff so cheap that, local guys would eventually go out of business. They did not last. There is no guarantee I, or anyone of the other roofing companies will be here next year. But it won’t be because I screwed my customer’s over, and did a lousy job. I can hold my head high, knowing that I did the best job possible while I was in business. Never will I be ashamed. Proud of what we have accomplished.

The moral of this story is, cheap is what you will get. Also ask the company were their main office is. If it is not at least in Nevada, preferably Northern Nevada, please don’t use them. Keep our kids fed locally, and the monies in our local community.

A lot of our local roofing contractors also use the volume principle. Ask your self, how long before, if sometime in the future, you should have a future problem, and you make that call. And nobody is there to answer the phone. Then what. I am not saying that all of these types of situation will lead to their failure. But I have seen a lot, come and go. They either don’t make enough money to keep the doors open, or they are shut down, by lawyers, the contractor’s board, or are ran out of the area.

I believe that most all of the roofing contractors, have maybe a spread of 2-3% cost difference of prices that they pay for materials, among themselves right! Look at this example. I recently roofed a home in the Sparks area. The homeowner could not believe the price difference between the 6-7 bids she received. Lets take a look. The prices were as followed. It was a tear-off, re sheet, and a 30-year roof. Let’s for keepsake, say the roof was between 30-40 squares.

They started at  $9000.00,11,000,13,000,15,000,16,000, 18,000 and 28,000. Ask your self why. We were the price in the red. The materials were well above $ 7000.00. Then you have to include, labor, and dump fees, and insurance, over head-operating costs. The first (3) had to be cutting corners, and using cheap inexperienced labor, and the volume theory. You tell me! The one at the top was just going to rip her off. We are generally in the middle, most of the times. Depending upon the job, and its difficulty, and how much we have to pay our employees.

Composition Shingle, Wood Shake, Tile, Metal Roof Reapirs, Flat Roofs.
There’s (3) blue lines on this shingle. You only have 1/2 inch to put the nails into. It’s the bottom lines, where the shingles overlap.

Composition Shingle, Wood Shakes, Tile, Roof Reapirs, Flat Roofs.

Between the yellow lines is where the nails have to be. Most customers have no ideal as to how much, there is to installing a proper roof.

Most of the shingles have such a small margin of error, where the shingles get nailed into the nail line. Most shingles only have about a half of an inch were the (6) nails must go, to meet code and the warranty of the shingle manufactures, for a high wind region. Nevada is in a high wind region. Takes special nailing for the area.Look at these photo’s, you can see the one in the blue lines, is about a half inch. The other one is a little over an inch. Look at the photos you can see where the shingles overlap, that’s all the space you have, to insure a proper roof installation.Ask yourself, why do new roof’s blow off, and leak. Its do to poor workmanship, and inexperienced roofers, or they just don’t care, like I said previously.

This is a true story. Happened about 12 or so years ago. I had received a call, from a woman in Washoe Valley.The woman had called and needed, a quote for a roof. Long story short. I looked at the roof, and said Oh My God. What an abortion, excuse the terrible word. It was a very strange house. Many ad-dons, the roof was very difficult to do, needless to say. After I measured the roof. When I went down to talk to the homeowner, I had told her the roof looked brand new, she said it was. She proceeded to explain to me, that the roofer, who screwed up the roof, was one of the cheapest prices she had gotten.

She said the roof leaked worse than before. She was suing them at that time. I told her, I would give her a bid, which I did. When I had called her back, to discuss the bid. She asked why I was so high. I told her you have a mess, I would have to tear-off the new roof, and completely replace it. Short story, she called another roofer excepted a cheaper price then mine, again. A couple of months had gone by, I received a call from her again. She proceeded to explain to me, and begged me to come out and put her roof on.

She would accept my price. A second roofer screwed the roof up worst than the first one did. She was suing them both. I said no way, thank you anyway. I told her from the beginning, what it would take, to install their very complicated roof. But you wanted the cheaper roofer’s price instead. Again I told her politely no! I felt terrible for her, and her husband. But I did not want to get involved with her problems, and the lawsuits. I said thank you anyway, but I can’t, talked for a few more minutes and hung up. Don’t know what took place. Cheap is cheap, quality is quality. They are not the same, and cannot be. I am not unequivocally stating that all cheap roofing prices you get. That your roof will wind up in a disaster of a roof, like the lady’s above. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I am not  saying that we are the only Roofer in Reno, that cares about their customers.Were not, there are some good guys. But we are the only one I know, who’s name has service in it Buyers beware; ask your family and friends, and neighbors for referrals. These are the most reliable and honest, you can get.

We hope, you will allow us, put a roof on that you can count on, for many years to come.

The economy will never come back as long as the construction industry is down, especially for Reno Roofing Contractors!

HIGH MOUNTAIN ROOFING SERVICES

Welcome to Reno Roof Repair

The economy will never come back as long as the construction industry is down, especially for Reno Roofing Contractors!

As long as I have been able to recall. The construction industry is what has driven this economy.The construction industry is the balance wheel of the economy. You tell me one thing that construction has not touched. It was  the contractors who purchased the new work trucks, tractors, motorcycles, backhoes, trailers, tools, cars, jewelry, houses, and boats, r.v’s. They remodeled yours and my homes. They took vacations, every (6) months. They spent their monies all over the world. They are what drove the home improvement companies, stores and industry, which made them thrive, and rich. They kept the restaurants going, by eating out every day for lunch. Millions upon millions kept the restaurants thriving. And all of the malls. Buying there, shoes and clothes as they fell apart, every few weeks, and months. They bought every thing you can think of. They kept the bars, and other illicit things going strong. Unfortunately  these things also thrived, not one thing did they not touch.

They used concrete, lumber, wiring, sheet-rock, roofing, paint, carpet, cabinets, tiles, hardwood, plumbing, windows, doors, all kitchen appliances.  There is not one thing they were not involved in, and / or purchased. They kept the health care industry thriving. That’s why a lot of the industry is suffering today, nobody is getting hurt. That’s the good point, but you get the drift. There were so many different kinds of contractors, which put their money back into each of the local economies. Again, roofing, painting, plumbing, dirt work, concrete, framers, carpet, tile, landscapers, electricians, drywall, windows, h.v.a.c. Forgive me if I forgot to mention your trade. Every one of them is what kept this country, and this economy alive and well.

Now let’s go, where no one likes to go, because of political correctness. But I love to be political incorrect. It’s just my nature. That’s why I appreciate the Founding Fathers, and their foresight. Our last bastion of hope, the 1st Amendment, and the Constitution.

OK, ready to go for a ride. Why has this government, allowed the millions upon millions of Latino immigrants, as well as others, to come across the border, with no impunity? You ask, me too! Since I have been in the construction industry, I have watched the wages of the construction industry, fall and fall. They have fallen back to the 70’s wages. You ask why? Well first, my fellow contractors, of all trades went for the cheap, labor. They carry a lot of the burden, as to why the industry collapsed, because of their greed. They cared mostly about their own bottom lines and not about their fellow man, nor their employees. Not all, but what I have witnessed, most.

I use to listen to the lying, filthy, belligerent, back stabbing media, lying about the percentage of the immigrants, which were in the construction trades. They were bought and paid to say what they say, by the way. They would say owe, maybe 20, 30 percent.  Hog wash. Every job I drove to, or track of housing I would visit. You would see 80%, – 90 % of immigrants, in all trades. I felt quite out of place as a Caucasian. Even though, I have quite a variety of heritage in my blood.

Now let me qualify, that I am guilty as well. But not what you think. As far as I know, I never, put anyone on my payroll that wasn’t legal. Did I use, some of the laborers, at out local place to pick them up, yes I did. But it wasn’t about the cheapest guy I could find. I got people to help that I needed.To help clean up the grounds. Some times to help take the roof off. But never, were there any untrained, roofers, installing your roofs.

That did not meet my professional standards, installing your roofs, and / or doing any important part of the roof. And for any laborer, I used, far and few between. If I used any, there were (2) journeymen to watch over the laborer, which were used. But they were always well paid, and were supplied with lunch. Always, well cared for. No matter were they were from. I didn’t use anyone because the color of their skin. I made sure whomever were kept safe, no matter who I used. I am not saying I am a saint, I am not. I love my country. And was just not willing to give it away.

Still today. I refuse to sell my country to cheap labor. Here goes the hard part, that might alienate my customers, but it is what it is. They also are partially to blame. They also would take to lowest and cheapest price they could get. Which is the normal thing to do, if you don’t understand what you are going to get, for your cheap money, trouble. Ask all of the lawyers, they love cheap labor. Made them rich.

And the most culpable one of them all. Is the federal and local government’s? Lets start with our local officials. They are all guilty of allowing, all of these contractors, to come into each one of our local communities. And allow every set of plans to be accepted, and built. There was not one set plans they did not love. No matter how many people complained, and / or said no thanks. They have run all of the work out, way to soon. If it had been managed properly, we still would be steadily growing a maybe a 3-4 % growth annually. There would still be jobs today. The construction industry would still be a viable one.

This is also what drove all of the immigrants, to come over here because we could not keep up with the labor needed, to do all of the jobs that were here. I don’t call them all illegal, because I don’t know if they all were, but I am sure most were. And of course, if you were starving, and had 2,3,4,5,6 children to feed, you would take any wages offered too. It is really not there fault. As much as are own country is at fault. We would have all done the same thing, if we were hungry, and if in there same position. The immigrants should never have taken any less, then an American worker. It drove the typical construction worker out of their job. Because they could not compete against the cheap immigrant labor, and the contractor’s cheap prices, which destroyed the industry, and the wages of Americans workers, I might add.

I also vividly remember one of the contractors, down the hall from my office. He had ice, come in. They found most of his workers to be illegal; and got fined $ 20,000 I believe he said. That will scare you straight, if you have any brains.

Lets take another approach to what killed the industry, and allowed the wages to fall like it did. Our kids today graduating out of college, I believe there is a drop out rate all over the country, probably averaging 50-60 percent. You ask why? I will tell you why. The kids of today, and of this generation our lazy. Because they are taught, by the apostate schools, and of this government, that if you are a roofer, plumber, electrician, painter at heart, you aren’t with spit. They are all taught to be dependent upon this government, and every assistance they can get their hands on. They are brain washed as to think they are all to good to be roofer, plumber, sheet rocker, carpet layer,  a contractor. You get the point. They are taught that unless they are from the Silicon Valley elite, they are a piece of crap.

They are made to feel like, if you are a construction worker, or anything other then the ones, who touch, use, and / or build computers, and if you are not like minded, you just are not worth being part of the upper echelon. Lets cut to the truth, GOD did not create us all equally, thank GOD. There are humans, like me that need to work, and build stuff with my hands. I never have liked school. I took first year, of college. To take accounting, and business classes. But hated them. We are not all going to be a doctors, lawyers, engineers, and / or programmers. This is the false hood of the governments plan to make this generation to believe they have no worth. I love to be a roofer, and a contractor.

I hate what it has become today, because of the governments over reaching hand, on all business and contractors today, local and federal.

If there were not people like me, the elite would not be able to take dump in their toilets, they would still be crapping outside in a hole, get it? I love what I am. GOD gave me the gift to build things. I am a jack-of-all-trades. I have been an engineer for a portion of my life. But would rather be of the construction trades. I love to, build and it makes me feel good, when I see something I have built with the hands, that GOD gave me. I don’t have a smart phone, never will.I like to think for myself, gee what an ideal. I use my smarts GOD gave me. I don’t need approval from every one else to feel good about myself. I am what I am, and proud of it. I don’t feel bad, that I don’t have to have the latest and greatest, newest phones, and the latest gadget. Don’t care if some ones look down at my phone. Owe my god; my phone is 5-6 years old. I bought other things of worth. Don’t get suckered into the lies of today.

GOD made you in his perfect image. Young kids of today,follow your heart. If you don’t want to go to school. It’s OK not to be indebted, up to thousands and  ten’s of thousands of dollars. And it’s OK if you don’t want to be there. Build something, start a business of your own. Don’t ask for approval of your family and supposed friends, do what’s right, create. You have the talent, you just can’t be afraid to fail. We are fumble and stumble. It’s o. K.

Also don’t be afraid to believe in, GOD. Not the system, which is lying to you. The LORD JESUS CHRIST is the final word. Ask him for guidance; he will guide you into what you were created for. We are all here for his GLORY, not or own. If you are doing what he created you for, you will succeed at that endeavor no matter what it is. You will also have peace, and know, you have done what you are created for. Go for it.

P.S. Of course, I am not trying to impugn other trades and / or jobs, they all contribute to our economy. They are all  just as important, as the construction trades. But like I said above. I don’t believe without construction, our country is doomed for failure. And will never come back.

The economy will never come back as long as the construction industry is down, especially for Reno Roofing Contractors!
